This sub-axe aims at fostering scientific exchanges on humanitarian intervention policies and on armed conflicts management policies conducted by State authorities and international organisations responsible for peace and regional security. About humanitarian intervention, this sub-axe gathers researches particularly interested in humanitarian help devices and criteria to obtain international support, as well as in professionals involved in international organisations, and relations between Horn of Africa States and NGOs.
The fact that the African Union Headquarters, including the Peace and Security Council and the Peace and Security Department, are located in Addis Ababa, encourages to conduct research in Political Sociology on this organisation and its relations with other kind of African and non-African actors and bodies concerned with this field. The CFEE also supports researches on topics related to armed conflicts in the Horn of Africa, and the diplomatic and military role played by Ethiopia in matters of regional security in the past as well as in the present (for example, in 2019 in Sudan).
This sub-axe also focuses on the modes of integration of African armies in multilateral programs for armed conflicts management, of African States or the UN, and the transformations they undergo while doing so.
