This book looks at the ways African borders impact war and conflict, as well as the ways continental integration could contribute towards cooperation, peace and well-being in Africa. African borders or borderlands can be a source of problems and opportunity. There is often a historical, geospatial and geopolitical architecture rooted in trajectories of war, conflict and instability, which could be transformed into those of peace, regional and continental integration and development. An example is the cross-border and regional response to the Boko Haram insurgency in West Africa. This book engages with cross-border forms of cooperation and opportunity in Africa. It considers initiatives and innovations which can be put in place or are already being employed on the ground, within the current regional and continental integration projects. Another important element is that of cross-border informality, which similarly provides a ready resource that, if properly harnessed and regulated, could unleash the development potential of African borders and borderlands.--Publisher's description

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die wechselseitige Beeinflussung von Industriegesellschaften und überstaatlichen Strukturen in den drei gesellschaftlichen Handlungsfeldern Migration, Klimaschutz und Aids. Maßgeblich für die empirische Forschung ist die Frage, wie sich aufgrund der globalisierten Problemlagen Staaten bzw. ihre Akteure über nationale und regionale Grenzen hinweg gegenseitig beeinflussen. Die Ergebnisse liefern Indikatoren für sozialen Wandel und Bausteine zu einer Theorie über die Bedingungsfaktoren sozialen Wandels.
