Routledge Handbook of African Security by James Hentz
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 2.9 MB
Overview: This new Handbook examines the issues, challenges, and debates surrounding the problem of security in Africa.
Africa is home to most of the world’s current conflicts, and security is a key issue. However, African security can only be understood by employing different levels of analysis: the individual (human security), the state (national/state security), and the region (regional/international security). Each of these levels provides analytical tools for understanding what could be called the "African security predicament" and these debates are animated by the "new security" issues: immigration, small arms transfers, gangs and domestic crime, HIV/AIDS, transnational crime, poverty, and environmental degradation. African security therefore not only presents concrete challenges for international security but provides a real-world context for challenging conventional conceptions of security.
Drawing together contributions from a wide range of key thinkers in the field, the engages with these debates, and is organized into four parts:
• Part I: The African security predicament in the twenty-first century;
• Part II: Understanding conflict in Africa;
• Part III: Regionalism and Africa;
• Part IV: External influences.
This Handbook will be of great interest to students of African politics, human security, global security, war and conflict studies, peacebuilding, and IR in general.
