Africas emerging governance, peace and security architecture, comprising the African Union (AU), the New Partnership for Africas Development (NEPAD) and the Conference on Security, Stability, Development and Cooperation in Africa (CSSDCA), emphasises a new focus on regional integration in the pursuit of Africas longabsent economic and social regeneration. The architecture also posits a tentative return to a focus on politics, after decades of pre-occupation with economics. The architectures emergence indicates further that democratic norms are alive and well on the African continent. However, a gap between policy and implementation exists.
