Leadership plays a vital role in affecting conflict response but is frequently only examined at the 'macro' level of state, government, and international organisations. This handbook addresses the need to explore challenges and opportunities for leadership at several levels: macro (global/regional/national); 'meso' (NGOs, religious groups, academics); and 'micro' (civil society organisations, youth groups, women's organisations). Analysis from multiple levels provides a broader explanation of conflict dynamics and helps to fit localised conflict transformation approaches into wider national or regional structures. The multi-disciplinary essays presented in this volume encompass the psychological, political and structural dimensions of conflict response, and demonstrate how its success is fundamentally linked to the style of effectiveness of leadership, among other factors. The volume is divided into four thematic sections: Part I: The theory and dynamics of conflict response and leadership Part II: Macro-level leadership experiences in conflict response Part III: Meso/micro-level leadership experiences in conflict response Part IV: Recommendations for improved leadership in conflict response This book will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution, peace studies, African politics, security studies and International Relations, in general"--cProvided by publisher. 0aConflict managementzAfrica. 0aLeadershipzAfrica.1 aÖzerdem, Alpaslan,eeditor.1 aAkgül Açıkmeşe, Sinem,eeditor.1 aLiebenberg, Ian,eeditor.08iOnline version:tRoutledge handbook of conflict response and leadership in AfricadMilton Park, Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021.z9780429318603w(DLC) 2021007124
