Abstract

The paper evaluates the Rapid Deployment Capability (RDC) of the African Standby Force (ASF) in post – Road Map III after 2015, viz-a-viz its’ mandate as the mechanism for regional Peace Support Operations (PSOs). The ASF failed to respond timeously to Malian and Central African Republic (CAR) con licts in 2013 and this led to the formation of African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises (ACIRC) as an interim RDC mechanism till 2015. The study is grounded on the theory of Collective Security. It adopts Case Study Research Design. Data are generated from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data are generated from Open-end interview, using purpose sampling method and secondary data involve the review of extant literature. Data are presented qualitatively on tables and analysed , using Content Analysis techniques. The study discusses the uniformity and differences in the generation of the ASF’s RDC in the management of Burundian and Gambian con licts of 2015 and 2017 respectively. It reveals the factors which led to these differences in outcome, speci ically the role of ‘democratic density’ and ‘competitive democratic security community’ and their impacts on con lict resolution in Africa. The study concludes that the RDC of the ASF is needed for robust regional security in Africa and recommends pragmatic and sustainable funding of the mechanism, as well as the creation of ‘security communities’ through shared democratic values across the continent.

“布隆迪和冈比亚:区域安全和快速部署能力。非洲待命部队的作用”
本文评估了2015年后路线图III中非洲待命部队的快速部署能力,即其作为区域和平支持行动机制的任务。2013年,非洲安全部队未能及时应对马里和中非共和国(CAR)的违规行为,导致成立了非洲立即应对危机能力组织(ACIRC),作为2015年之前的临时RDC机制。本研究以集体安全理论为基础。采用案例研究设计。数据由主要和次要来源生成。主要数据来自开放式访谈,使用目的抽样方法,次要数据涉及对现存文献的审查。数据被定性地呈现在表格上,并使用内容分析技术进行分析。该研究分别讨论了2015年和2017年在布隆迪和冈比亚犯罪管理中ASF RDC产生的一致性和差异性。它揭示了导致这些结果差异的因素,特别是“民主密度”和“竞争性民主安全社区”的作用及其对非洲解决冲突的影响。该研究得出的结论是,非洲安全论坛的RDC是非洲强有力的区域安全所必需的,并建议为该机制提供务实和可持续的资金,以及通过整个非洲大陆的共同民主价值观建立“安全社区”。
