Summary

Increasingly marginalized since the end of the Cold War, the continent of Africa is struggling to identify both the root causes and possible solutions to the maladies that continue to plague it. In the early 1990's, a group of African leaders and academics gathered to create a new pan-African organization to provide a forum for discussion of democratization, security issues, and sustainable development. Scholars Francis Deng and I. William Zartman provides a " mid-course" appraisal of the progress of this new organization, the Conference on Security, Stability, Development, and Cooperation in Africa (CSSDCA).
