Making African Security and Defence Policy Coherent and Sustainable : Africa-Wide - Informed Insights - Interviews with Experts

Abstract

African governments must become more professional and even scientific in the formation of policies to deal with crises in an increasingly complicated and sophisticated world, particularly with democratisation replacing the whim of the dictator. How best to formulate policy to deal with conflict situations is the subject of academic debate coupled with practical trial and error. ACM discusses this issue with Professor Henry Wissink, the Dean and Head of the School of Management, Information Technology and Governance at the University of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, and who specialises in the fields of Public Management, Policy Analysis, Policy Science and Development Studies.
