Prospects of Peacebuilding in West Africa. The Role of ad hoc Military Coalition Interventions

Dr. Emma Birikorang

20. November 2024, 14 Uhr c.t., LF 310, Campus Duisburg

Dr. Emma Birikorang ist Forschungsleiterin am Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra. Sie beschäftigt sich mit Friedensmissionen und regionaler Sicherheitspolitik im afrikanischen Kontext.

Zum Vortrag:

Regionalism has been an essential feature of Africa’s international relations. This first wave begun in the 1960s and lasted through the 1980s. This was followed by a second wave of regionalism that begun in the second half of the 1980s. Regional economic communities and institutions continue to play essential roles in addressing pertinent developmental and security challenges. Nonetheless, the continent is witnessing a new wave of regionalism where countries are now harnessing their strengths to tackle common threats. Notably, there has been the emergence of collaborative initiatives such as the G5 Sahel, the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) to fight Boko Haram, the Accra Initiative, and the Alliance des Etats du Sahel (AES). This INEF lecture argues that Africa is currently moving towards a new form of regionalism. It interrogates whether the emerging wave challenges or complements the old regionalism.
