The long road home: Protracted refugee situations in Africa

Article Abstract:

Protracted refugee situations are a critical and growing element in continuing conflict and instability, especially in Africa. Such situations can result in direct security concerns, including the presence of armed elements within the refugee population and the spill-over of conflict across borders, and indirect security concerns, as tensions rise between local populations and refugees over the allocation of scarce resources.

South Africa's troubled success story

Article Abstract:

The tripartite alliance governing South Africa since the end of apartheid is facing an angry public because of its failure to improve the lives of South Africa's African majority. High unemployment among Africans and lack of investment in public infrastructure or AIDS prevention threaten South Africa's longer-term stability and its effects would be felt throughout sub-Saharan Africa and across the continent.

China in Africa

Article Abstract:

China's drive for resource security, new markets and investment opportunities, symbolic diplomacy and development cooperation, and forging strategic partnerships has shaped Beijing's contemporary approach to the African continent. Chinese-African cooperation, however, remains constrained by the asymmetric nature of relations and Africa's changing attitude towards issues such as humanitarian intervention.
