Cet ouvrage porte sur la période de révolution, du renversement de Hayle Sïllasé à la mise en place d’une dictature militaire d’inspiration marxiste. L’auteur examine les causes et les conséquences de ce changement de régime à travers le cas des Afar, un peuple semi-nomade transfrontalier de basses terres. Les possibilités d’investissement agricole sur le cours de l’Awash, fleuve qui traverse le territoire Afar, les ressources minières ainsi que la protection des frontières nationales représentaient des enjeux importants pour intégrer à l’État éthiopien cet espace historiquement hors de sa domination. En réponse aux excès de l’administration impériale éthiopienne du temps de Hayle Sïllasé, notamment la confiscation des terres communales fertiles, la révolution éthiopienne proposait une réallocation des ressources au peuple par l’État et une plus grande autonomie de chaque territoire, impliquant des structures administratives nouvelles. Les hommes politiques représentant les Afar, soit par leurs statuts de chefs traditionnels soit par leurs qualités personnelles révélées par les bouleversements de l’époque, ont tenté de se saisir les opportunités offertes par la situation révolutionnaire. Ils ont dû faire face à plusieurs options qui les ont unis ou divisés. Ce sont ces choix politiques, les raisons qui les ont motivés, les incohérences qui n’ont pas été évitées, les dissidences qu’ils ont entrainées, les objectifs qui n’ont pas été atteints, et les conséquences économiques, écologiques et sociales, qui sont l’objet de cet ouvrage. L’auteur y décortique également les rapports complexes des Afar avec la Junte militaire au pouvoir et les mouvements de guérilla qui s’opposaient à celle-ci, surtout les mouvements érythréens et le Front de libération des peuples du Tigray (FLPT).

This open access book explains how PRIO, the world’s oldest peace research institute, was founded and how it survived through crises. In this book, twenty-four of its researchers and associates, including Johan Galtung, Ingrid Eide, and Mari Holmboe Ruge, who founded the institute back in 1959, tell the stories of their roles in inventing and developing peace research. They reflect on their personal experiences with peace and conflict, tell what drove their peace engagement, and discuss the balance sought in the field between the cold dictates from academic rigor and the hot pursuit of peace, a desire for research to make a positive difference. Most of the chapters are interviews where one colleague interviews another. Some are self-reflective essays, while others are memorial essays written about a peace researcher who has passed away. Taken together, the book presents a lively picture of a thriving world-leading research environment and a wealth of conflicting or mutually reinforcing perspectives on war, violence, conflict, conflict management and resolution, negotiations and mediation, peacemaking, peace building, and the contested concept of peace. “The Oslo Stories is an indispensable source to the history of peace research.” Dr. Olav Njølstad, Director, Nobel Institute, Oslo

"Historically, countering terrorism has been something that security services have carried out on behalf of the state, without community consultation or consent. Since 9/11 however, this tradition has increasingly been questioned and the idea that communities have the potential to defeat al Qaeda - related or influenced terrorism has gained ascendency across policy, security and other contexts. Based on research in the US, Britain and Northern Ireland, this book examines the involvement of Muslim and other communities in terror crime prevention work, exploring the complexities of community involvement as well as its advantages and examining how trusting relationships between police, security services and communities can be built."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This handbook comprises essays by leading scholars and practitioners on the topic of U.S. counterterrorism and irregular warfare campaigns and operations around the globe. Terrorist groups have evolved substantially since 9/11, with the Islamic State often described as a pseudo-state, a terrorist group, and insurgency all at the same time. While researchers', analysts', and policymakers’ understanding of terrorism has grown immensely over the past two decades, similar advancements in the understanding of counterterrorism lag. As such, this handbook explains why it is necessary to take a broader view of counterterrorism which can, and often does, include irregular warfare. The volume is divided into three thematic sections: Part I examines modern terrorism in the Islamic world and gives an overview of the major terrorist groups from the past three decades; Part II provides a wide variety of case studies of counterterrorism and irregular warfare operations, spanning from the 1980s to the irregular warfare campaign against the Islamic State in northern Syria in 2018; Part III examines the government instruments used to combat terrorism and wage irregular warfare, such as drones, Theater Special Operations Commands, and Theater Commands. The handbook fills a gap in the traditional counterterrorism literature by its inclusion of irregular warfare and by providing analyses from academic experts as well as practitioners. It will be of much interest to students of counterterrorism, counterinsurgency, U.S. national security, military affairs, and International Relations.
