This book interrogates the major challenges of postcolonial Africa that have hindered development, peace, and security. It advocates for different paths to secure peace and tranquillity, more specifically by employing indigenous knowledge systems, and examines the sources of African military coups d'état in political and other contexts, and how to prevent their recurrence. The author conducts a multidisciplinary examination of postcolonial Africa's peace and security dynamics, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the continent's challenges and opportunities in these critical areas. By synthesizing insights from political science, history, sociology, and international relations, they offer a holistic perspective that transcends conventional disciplinary boundaries. In the wake of decolonization, Africa emerged as a continent grappling with myriad challenges, particularly in the realms of peace and security. From colonial legacies to contemporary geopolitical dynamics, the journey towards stability has been fraught with complexities and contradictions. This book delves into these complexities, offering a comprehensive exploration of the factors shaping Africa's peace and security landscape. Dr. Seife Tadelle Kidane is the Director of the Centre for Governance and Intra- Africa Trade Studies (CGIATS) at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. He has held executive positions in the governmental, private, not-for-profit, and academic sectors for more than twenty years, serving as a senior government advisor, public diplomat, lecturer, Senior Research Fellow and CEO of different entities.
