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 Routledge Handbook of
African Security 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.
