A chapter in Peace Studies for Sustainable Development in Africa, 2022, pp 3-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The “Peace Studies for Sustainable Development in Africa” project funded by the Lower Saxony state government (Germany) is not intended to serve (new) cultural imperialism. It sees itself as a transnational, transcontinental partnership project under the direction of the German project manager together with a Tanzanian, Chinese and US cooperation partner and a project coordinator from the Ivory Coast. It thus benefits from a network of proven peace researchers on the horizon of a global academic world. The contributions of almost all African contributors, compiled in the first phase of the project, focus on a large number of areas of conflict, but usually address peace as a central challenge without explicitly associating it with nonviolence. In terms of the United Nations Millennium Decade 2001–2010 “Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World”, this will therefore be the task of a follow-up project.
