This volume critically engages with the phenomenon of civil
militias in Africa, especially the nature of threats and challenges
they pose to national and human security. It questions why the
African political scene is increasingly inundated with the
activities of civil militias, examines the socio-political and
economic conditions that trigger and/or encourage and sustain the
operations of civil militias, and investigates the dominant
motivations of African civil militias. In the face of this complex
security emergency, the volume conceptualizes and theorizes the
phenomenon of civil militias; focuses the academic debate and
policy on the links between civil militias and the growing cycle of
state failure, instability, collapse and fragmentation in Africa;
broadly and critically explores and expounds the short-term
security consequences of the operations of civil militias; and
articulates a corpus of policy-relevant knowledge. The book is
ideally suited to courses on African studies, security and peace
studies and military studies but would also be of interest to
practitioners.
