Africa is no longer the forgotten continent; it has consolidated its deserved space and role in the contemporary world´s complex game of international relations, with its own voice and a clear set of objectives. We should be ready to respond to this new reality with knowledge of the cause and sufficient criteria, as it´s full of opportunities and challenges and it has the potential to be enriching for everyone.

African governments and institutions, in collaboration with international organisations, attempt to obtain a suitable level of sustainable development that reaches the continent´s inhabitants. Development requires an atmosphere of security, and without this, there is no chance for progress.

Based on this concept, the joint idea of the Spanish Institute for Strategic Studies (IEEE) and of Casa Africa to prepare, as part of the collection of IEEE «Cuadernos de Estrategia», the publication that the reader holds. Its objective is to promote reflection on the African and European efforts currently being carried out in the area of peace and security.
