Abstract
AbstractThis article investigates how Mauritius has been successful in sustaining peace since 2010. The Mauritian government's inclusive economic development and social security policies to combat poverty and marginalisation, both structural risk factors of violence in society, have been constitutive of a holistic approach that promotes United Nations (UN) pillars—inclusive development, human rights, and peace and security—essential to sustaining peace. This article argues that endogenous Mauritian initiatives, which predate the UN sustaining peace agenda, have generated durable peace, evidenced by the island state's constant position as the top African country on the Global Peace Index.Keywords: Marshall PlanMauritiussustaining peaceVision 2030whole-of-governmentwhole-of-society

International Journal of African Renaissance Studies (IJARS) is a forum for scholarship on the challenges facing Africa today and seeks to promote research, policy analyses and teaching that locate African people at the centre of the development agenda. The journal covers multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary approaches in examining the African Renaissance and the repositioning of Africa within the world system. It is committed to producing and using knowledge to empower and strengthen Africa, its people and its Diaspora. Articles published in IJARS cover a broad range of socio-political and natural sciences, the humanities and other disciplines and topics including capacity building, conflict, development, ecology, economics, education, gender, governance, health, identity, land reform, language, law, leadership, politics and social policy. In geographical terms, the journal covers both the African continent and the Diaspora.
