Download or read book Light Weapons and Civil Conflict written by Jeffrey Boutwell and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A common feature of conflict in the 1990s is death and suffering from small arms and light weapons. The global diffusion of assault rifles, machine guns, mortars, and rocket-propelled grenades, which can be easily carried by an individual or transported by a light vehicle, has greatly intensified the violence of conflicts in countries around the world. This book represents the perspectives of the foremost specialists on light weapons, and it surveys the wide range of policy options open to the international community. These include export and import controls, law enforcement strategies to break up black markets, collection and destruction of weapons following the end of conflict, and efforts to illuminate how small arms and light weapons make their way to the killing grounds of the 1990s.

Book excerpt: The illicit trade, accumulation and use of small arms and light weapons, and the presence of explosive remnants of war, exacerbate conflict, threaten human life, undermine development and hamper the recovery of war-torn societies. The spread of small arms and their misuse is often related to the vicious circle of poverty, insecurity and underdevelopment.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the five years since the adoption of the Programme (PoA), scores of activities, projects and programs have been put in place to address the needs of the Member States most affected by the proliferation and misuse of these weapons. This global assistance effort recognized the fact that those states and communities that are most affected by the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects are those states and communities with the fewest resources to address these issues. While informing the reader of the global trends of assistance provided and received, this report also highlights areas that need improvement such as how requests for assistance are communicated/received, how states keep track of the assistance they have provided or received and how various government departments coordinate internally.--Publisher's description.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Africa, the effect of the proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) continues to impact negatively on socioeconomic development, particularly within the Great Lakes and Horn of Africa (GLHA) subregion. Since 2000, several initiatives on the matter have been developed. Foremost among the subregional and regional initiatives are the Nairobi and Bamako declarations on the "African Common Position on the Illicit Proliferation, Circulation and Trafficking of Small Arms and Light Weapons" in March and December 2000, respectively. This study seeks to examine the strategies that the GLHA countries are using to deal with the SALW problem with an emphasis on those of Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia. It also analyzes the challenges the subregional governments have encountered while tackling this menace, and the measures they have developed to mitigate them. It is clear that the strategies' ends and ways are sufficient to contain the problem but only require better coordination, integration, and synchronization into one main effort. The author concludes that the war on SALW will remain elusive unless all member states show the political will to address the factors of increased supply and demand of SALW and allocate more resources to achieve their strategic ends.

Download or read book Region Building in Africa written by Daniel H. Levine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark book is the first of its kind to assess the challenges of African region-building and regional integration across all five African sub-regions and more than five decades of experience, considering both political and economic aspects. Leading scholars and practitioners come together to analyze a range of entwined topics, including: the theoretical underpinnings that have informed Africa's regional integration trajectory; the political economy of integration, including the sources of different 'waves' of integration in pan-Africanism and the reaction to neo-liberal economic pressures; the complexities of integration in a context of weak states and the informal regionalization that often occurs in 'borderlands'; the increasing salience of Africa's relationships with rising extra-regional economic powers, including China and India; and comparative lessons from non-African regional blocs, including the EU, ASEAN, and the Southern Common Market. A core argument of this book, running through all chapters, is that region-building must be recognized as a political project as much as if not more than an economic one; successful region-building in Africa will need to include the complex political tasks of strengthening state capacity (including states' capacity as 'developmental states' that can actively engage in economic planning), resolving long-standing conflicts over resources and political dominance, improving democratic governance, and developing trans-national political structures that are legitimate and inclusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) has had (and continues to have) devastating consequences in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lake Regions. Belligerents in the conflict areas for example Somali Sudan and parts of northern Uganda use the small arms and light weapons as the primary tools of violence causing deaths and injuring thousands of people among them innocent civilians. In Sub-Saharan African countries experiencing violent conflicts, the availability of SALW escalates insecurity and duration of violence. The impact of insecurity and other problems attributed to SALW are also manifested in the neighboring peaceful countries within the region. Proliferation of SALW impact negatively on the economic development of the Sub-Saharan African and the Lake Region countries as high levels of insecurity continue to deter economic development sustenance initiatives and cause increased military spending, which divert state resources from critical areas. In my SRP, I intend to highlight and analyze the issue of proliferation of SALW and its effects in the Horn of Africa and the Lake Region and make recommendations to address this problem.
