The contributions included in this volume revolve around the central and west African regional conflict zones, along with two essays that provide divergent perspectives on Africa’s role in the “war on terrorism.” They are organized chronologically by phase, thus providing insights into the complexities of conflict processes that follow similar trajectories, but that vary in time and space.
