War and Peace in Africa: Local Conflict and the Weak State
Original language description
The chapter analyzes the dynamism of war and peace in Africa. Drawing on the author´s field experience in Northern Ghana the analysis tests the hypothesis that local wars can undermine state´s stability, especially if the state in question is in economicdire straits. There is direct dependence of the outbreak of local wars on whether the country is a democracy or a dictatorship. Local wars are not ethnic in primordial sense of the term. Their roots include the economic quest for land and the symbolic quest for chieftaincy. The analyzed wars are conflicts of modernity and citizenship when chiefless people were deprived of equality with chiefly people.
