(S.4 Ep.6) South Sudan

Tuesday, June 5, 2018 • Duration 30:22

As Africa's newest state, South Sudan was meant to be an example of what cooperation between the international community and African political actors could achieve.

(S.4 Ep.5) Violence, the Media, and Elections in Kenya

Tuesday, May 29, 2018 • Duration 20:28

The violence that attended Kenya's 2007 elections shocked the nation's media as well as the larger society. According to African experts interviewed in this fifth episode of Peacebuilders, Kenyan media has become both more responsible as a result and more oriented toward reaching ethnic-group audiences rather than national ones. Whether this will lead to an increase or decrease in the importance of ethnicity for Kenyan politics remains to be seen.

(S.4 Ep.3) Militarization of Solutions

Tuesday, May 15, 2018 • Duration 28:47

The militarization of policing and counterterrorism operations in East and West Africa has chiefly multiplied the numbers of people seeking vengeance against the state, contend regional experts Nanjala Nyabola and Obi Anyadike in the third episode of Peacebuilders, a Carnegie Corporation podcast series. The militarization of regional security policy, partly in response to foreign funding agendas, is abetting insecurity and encouraging corruption from Somalia to Nigeria.

(S.4 Ep.2) International Interventions

Tuesday, May 8, 2018 • Duration 31:17

The era of large, international peacekeeping missions is over, according to experts interviewed for the second episode of Peacebuilders, a Carnegie Corporation podcast series.

This podcast episode features Séverine Autesserre of Barnard College and Susan Woodward of CUNY Graduate Center, both harsh critics of international peacekeeping and what Woodward calls "the ideology of failed states."
