Howe (African politics, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown U.) examines options for increasing state security in contemporary Africa. First, he presents a case study of ECOMOG in Liberia and Sierra Leone, examining the possibilities for regional military cooperation. He also analyzes the infamous Executive Outcome's operations in Angola and Sierra Leone, assessing the role of mercenaries' long-term contribution to national security. Finally, he assesses the developing Africa Crisis Response Initiative, a continental and rapidly- deployable force intended to promote peace in Africa. Annotation c.
