Untersuchung der grundlegenden Ziele der Afrikapolitik der USA. Vorherrschend ist eine weltpolitische Sichtweise, in der die Probleme der Supermächte-Rivalität gegenüber regionalpolitischen Erwägungen vorrangig erscheinen. Die These wird verfolgt an den Beispielen der Konflikte in Angola, Tschad, Westsahara und Äthiopien/Ogaden für die Zeit der Präsidentschaften von Nixon, Carter und Reagan. (DÜI-Wsl)

Farmer-herder conflict is an age-old phenomenon, which is widely spread in the West African sub-region. Current studies on the Ghanaian farmer-herder conflict have emphasised the land-related conflicts between indigenous farmers and nomadic herders. It has focused especially on environmental scarcity and climate change approaches. However, this study adopts the political ecology framework to highlight land conflicts between migrant farmers and nomadic herders, two migrant groups that are considered "strangers" to the Kwahu Afram Plains District. The study contributes to the broader debates on farmer-herder conflict. It provides contrary evidence with regard to the popular notion in literature and theory about the prevalence of land insecurity among nomadic herders. The study argues that migrant farmers in the study area experience more land insecurity compared to the nomadic herders. This is because of their history of immigration, their relationship with the Kwahu landowners, which is driving the escalating cost of accessing land, and disputes between landowning groups.

Violent conflict has harmed the livelihoods of individuals in conflict-prone communities around the world, particularly, those who rely on food crops and livestock production. Based on fieldwork in the Kwahu Afram Plains South District and the Atebubu-Amantin Municipality, the paper assesses the effects of farmer–herder conflicts on food security. The study's findings show that the conflict has had a wide-ranging impact on food security, with both farmers and herders suffering incalculable consequences. Thus, just as crop farmers' production is declining, so is nomadic herders' cattle diminishing. The study proposes that relevant stakeholders work together to control the threat of farmer–herder conflict because the impact of the conflict extends beyond the communities directly affected.
