Proposing an insightful conceptual framework, this excellent volume presents deeply nuanced and contextual case studies of key security challenges on the continent. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars and policymakers attempting to make sense of Africa’s multiple security challenges. -- Leonardo A. Villalón, University of Florida One of the most worrying developments of recent years has been the growing number of African citizens who feel unsafe in their own homes. A solution to this problem is urgently needed if it is not to have dramatic consequences for development and democracy. African Security: Local Issues and Global Connections could therefore hardly be more timely or vital. The fresh insights in this volume go a long way to explaining the most effective ways to enhance security—and, just as importantly, the things to avoid. An important contribution. -- Nic Cheeseman, University of Birmingham Author InformationAbu Bakarr Bah is Presidential Research Professor of Sociology at Northern Illinois University and founding director of the Institute for Research and Policy Integration in Africa.
