Africa faces an ever-increasing range of security challenges.
The traditional threats of civil and border conflicts, crises of
governance, and military coups may have receded but they remain
active. Meanwhile, other issues such as globalization, security
sector reform, terrorism, private security actors, peacekeeping and
peace building, and the proliferation of weapons of mass
destruction have risen to prominence. This book is a result of
research carried out by the Southern African Defence and Security
Management Network on many of these new and emerging security
issues, in cooperation with the Danish Institute for International
Studies and the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung.
The broad focus of this book is on security governance --the
role of state and a wide range of social actors in the areas of
human and state security. The topics covered include policing
transformation, intelligence governance, regulation of private
security actors, challenges of nuclear proliferation, regional
security, peace diplomacy and peace missions, the relationship
between development and security, and new challenges in governance
of the military. Written by scholars as well as practitioners, and
African as well as international researchers, it brings a variety
of insights to new and traditional security concerns.
