| | This issue was not planned and commissioned around a single theme, but is drawn from submitted articles (as one issue in each volume usually is). There is however one thread that links three of the main articles: the complexity of the politics of conflict in post-cold war Africa. While each of Reno, Harrison and Sesay have a distinct and different central theme, they are concerned with the ways in which actors exploit or depend upon violent conflict to sustain or promote their political positions. |
