Across Africa, growing economic inequality, instability and
urbanization have led to the rapid spread of private security
providers. While these PSPs have already had a significant impact
on African societies, their impact has so far received little in
the way of comprehensive analysis. Drawing on a wide range of
disciplinary approaches, and encompassing anthropology, sociology
and political science, Private Security in Africa offers unique
insight into the lives and experiences of security providers and
those affected by them, as well as into the fragile state context
which has allowed them to thrive. Featuring original empirical
research and case studies ranging from private policing in South
Africa to the recruitment of Sierra Leoneans for private security
work in Iraq, the book considers the full implications of PSPs for
security and the state, not only for Africa but for the world as a
whole.
