The course provides an opportunity for students to acquire a detailed knowledge and
understanding of the Pattern of external relations in East and Central Africa. Such relations
cover several areas. These involve the handling of ethnic crises at both internal and trans-border
levels, which often surface in form of military mutinies and rebel movements. Also, the
problem of refugees and declining economy is critical in the relations of states in this region
with neighbouring and developed nations. In looking at the pattern of relations among states in
these regions, specialists in international relations have engaged in analysis of ethnic crises,
crisis management, refugee problem, the role of international organisations and the level of
involvement of external forces.
