<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nHere is an excerpt from a review of a book by Kathryn Nash <\/a> published in 2021 on this subject:<\/p>\n African regional organizations have played leading roles in constructing collective conflict management rules for the continent, but these rules or norms have not been static. Currently, the African Union (AU) deploys monitors, authorizes peace support operations, and actively engages to resolve internal conflicts. . . African peace examines why . . . the AU chose very different norms leading to a disparate conflict management policy in the early 2000s. Even if the AU\u2019s capacity to respond to conflict is still developing, this new policy has made the region more willing and capable of responding to violence. Nash argues that norm creation largely happened within the African context, and international pressure was not a determinant factor in their evolution. The role of regions in the international order, particularly the African region, has been under-theorized and under-acknowledged, and this book adds to an emerging literature that explores the role of regional organizations in the Global South in creating and promoting norms based on their own experiences and for their own purposes.<\/p>\n And here are CPNN articles on this subject:<\/p>\n African Union: Our Aspirations for the Africa We Want<\/a><\/p>\n Third edition of dialogue on youth, peace, security in Africa opens in Bujumbura, Burundi<\/a><\/p>\n Africa Climate Summit Issues Nairobi Declaration<\/a><\/p>\n Economic Commission of Central African States: First biennial for a culture of peace<\/a><\/p>\n Nigeria: Reps Push For \u2018Silence The Guns\u2019 Implementation<\/a><\/p>\n African Union Office of the Youth Envoy: Winners Announced fo Youth Silencing The Guns Awards<\/a><\/p>\n Book review: African peace: Regional norms from the Organization of African Unity to the African Union<\/a><\/p>\n New African Union chair President Felix Tshisekedi of DRC sets ambitious agenda for 2021<\/a><\/p>\n Ambassadors praise Angola\u2019s efforts for peace in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n United Nations-African Union Joint Task Force on Peace and Security Holds its Nineteenth Consultative Meeting on 16 October 2020<\/a><\/p>\n ECOSOCC \/ Morocco: Launch of the e-caravan of peace, flagship event of Amnesty Month in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n Angola: President\u2019s aide encourages African Union to stick to peaceful conflict resolution<\/a><\/p>\n The AU\u2019s role in brokering Sudan deal offers lessons for the future<\/a><\/p>\n The 815th meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council: Report of the Commission on Elections in Africa<\/a><\/p>\n South Sudan Chapter of African Union Master Plan Roadmap \u201cPractical Steps To Silencing The Guns By 2020\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Continent\u2019s free trade deal a game-changer for Africa<\/a><\/p>\n Global community responds to recent positive progress in Ethiopia, Eritrea relations<\/a><\/p>\n African Union: Africa\u2019s Peace and Security Landscape by the Year 2023: A Prospective Analysis of Peace and Security Challenges<\/a><\/p>\n Challenge of Tackling Terrorism Threat Can Be Achieved through Solidarity, Secretary-General Tells African Union Peace and Security Council<\/a><\/p>\n African Union and UN sign Memorandum of Understanding for Peacebuilding<\/a><\/p>\n Ivory Coast: UNESCO announces the creation of a school for the Culture of Peace in Yamoussoukro<\/a><\/p>\n Burundi agrees to accept African Union human rights monitors<\/a><\/p>\n 26th Ordinary Session of the AU Assembly concludes with gratitude to Ebola fighters and peace as priorities of the continent<\/a><\/p>\n Retreat of the Pan-African Network of the Wise<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 \u2013 Links for the following articles published prior to 2015 do not work because they were made by a version of PERL programming that is no longer supported.
