However, the changing nature of conflict, which is taking the form of radicalization and extremism are deeply rooted in individual's ideology, personalities and genes, hence, rendering the conventional macro-level power balance analytics obsolete. The psychology and human genetics are at the center of this evolution. This shift in conflict trends and methods of warfare in Africa and the world over demands that we search for alternative approaches, mechanisms, and innovative response. It is against this background that this new book initiates a fundamental debate on how interdisciplinary adventure could increase the understanding off man-kind and the socio-biological systems surounding man, hence, the emphasis on the discispline of Conflictology to embody scientific approaches, methods and prescription to conflict resolution. For instance, does individual's gene influence human behaviours, such as \"hate\"? If so, can this be corrected through gene transposition? If human relations should be anchored on \"peace\", what are these genetic and behavioural factors that creat \"hate\" and \"violence\"? How then, should such a gene or neurobiological system be altered in order to prevent extremism and radicalization?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Onditi’s Conflictology is a seminal piece of work which is infused with expansive research and incisive analysis, it is a timely and important contribution to the field of peace and conflict studies in Africa. The relevance of this book is its cogent argument for a regional approach to peace and security, which is anchored upon the promotion of socio-economic development as the most durable pathway towards sustaining peace across Africa. -- Tim Murithi, University of the Free State\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Introduction to Conflictology \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Basic Principles of Conflictology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Rise and Growth of Insurgency and Terrorism \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Asymmetric Threats in Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Militia Gangs and Rebel Movements in Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Securitization\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart II: Emerging African Peace and Security Architecture \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: African Peace and Security Architecture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Civil-Military Relations \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Social Constructive Assemblage of Peacekeepers \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: African Peace and Security Agenda \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart III: Towards a Comprehensive Approach to Conflict Resolution in Africa \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: The Power of ‘Africanness’ in the Global Peace and Security Agenda \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: Power Sharing in Ethnically Divided Societies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: Wilsonian Approach to Humanitarian Assistance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Countering Military Counter-Insurgency with the 3Ds Model\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: African Futures\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConclusion","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042634531159,"sku":"9781793615053","price":99.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793615053.jpg?v=1750954944","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/conflictology-systems-institutions-and-mechanisms-in-africa-9781793615053","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
