Focusing on the urgent need for a robust African collective security mechanism, this anthology features three articles from 2016 to 2018 that advocate for stronger regional responses to armed conflicts threatening peace and development in Africa. Drawing on the insights of George Schwarzenberger and the African Peace and Security Architecture, the articles urge the African Union to take decisive action. Key topics include the African Standby Force, the role of U.S. military presence, and the challenges of recurrent conflicts in Mozambique, emphasizing the necessity for effective security structures.
