Abstract
This volume presents a comparative analysis of interactions among development strategies, development patterns, and conflict in four countries in North Africa and in seven Sub-Saharan countries. Countries selected for review are quite different in the size of their economies and composition of their population, resource endowments and development trajectories, and histories and current status of intergroup conflict and cooperation. In all this diversity, these countries represent a good snapshot of the situation on the African continent in general.
