Normative and Institutional Limitations of IGAD’s Peace and Security Framework
Artikkelen analyserer den subregionale organisasjonen for Afrikas Horn (IGAD) sin freds- og sikkerhetsarkitektur. Artikkelen påviser at det er store mangler ved både det normative og operative rammeverket for freds- og sikkerhetsengasjementet til IGAD, i en av verdens mest konfliktutsatte regioner.

The purpose of this article is to examine the normative and institutional constraints that exist within the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development's (IGAD) peace and security frameworks.
Despite IGAD's broad mandate to maintain regional peace and security in the Horn of Africa, this article claims that the organisation has yet to develop a comprehensive regional peace and security framework. As a result, the contribution of IGAD has been limited. Meanwhile, the region remains one of the most conflict-ridden in Africa.
In this study, a qualitative research approach was used. Primary and secondary data were gathered through indepth interviews, newspaper articles, and online resources. The data was investigated using qualitative discourse analysis and content analysis.
The findings indicate that IGAD lacks robust and comprehensive normative and institutional mechanisms for effectively maintaining regional stability.
