- Summary
- "For over three decades, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), which is the case study, has been one of the most notorious groups in Africa, causing devastating impacts in the Great Lakes Region. Here is a study sample for the application of the international relations (IR) theories of realism, transnationalism and functionalism. From dissidence to violent confrontations and then to terrorism while labeling each other as a terrorist or a dictator with whom no negotiation can be envisaged, resulting to what could be christened, war... This step by step guide into countering and defeating terrorism in Africa takes into account the advancing of the scientific, academic, and political understanding of the various reasons behind radicalization. This is in order to provide governments with actions that could be taken to prevent political dissidence, and to highlight the consequences of failure to adapt the necessary governing strategies to prevent dissidence from escalating into terrorism. In this process, the rote of the international community is highlighted, as well as that of the other regional and continental actors. A very important book."--Page 4 of cover.
