POLITICAL SCIENCE · AFRICAN STUDIES
Series: Conflict and Security in the Developing World
Series Editor: Akanmu G. Adebayo
"Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies in West Africa: Beyond Right and Wrong captures the
rich spirit of indigenous conflict management attitudes and strategies in West Africa and beyond.
It digs deep into the layers of understanding rolled up in traditional practices and examines their
relation—often but not necessarily conflictual—with modern practice. This solid volume is built on
conceptual developments and many cases that provide the basis for insight into traditional society
and introspection into modern ways."
—I. WILLIAM ZARTMAN, Johns Hopkins University
"This book offers a wonderfully far-ranging, yet in-depth, discussion of conflict resolution and
prevention in West Africa, with particular focus on Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon. With careful
attention to the cultural and institutional contexts in which conflict takes place, the chapters demon-
strate the need to take indigenous norms seriously in an age when international actors promote 'best
practices' without always taking these norms into account. The resulting combination of critical com-
mentary with descriptions of indigenous conflict management strategies will be useful to scholars and
practitioners alike. This volume is an extremely important and very welcome addition to the literature
on conflict resolution in West Africa." —NIKLAS HULTIN, George Mason University
Indigenous Conflict Management Strategies in West Africa: Beyond Right and Wrong expands the
discourse on indigenous knowledge. With numerous examples and case histories, this book defines,
characterizes, explains, and evaluates indigenous conflict management strategies in West Africa,
with a view to determining their effectiveness in the context of the societies' history and culture, and
their relevance and adaptability in contemporary contexts.
