Since 9/11 ideas of security have focused in part on the
development of ungovernable spaces. Important debates are now being
had over the nature, impacts, and outcomes of the numerous policy
statements made by northern governments, NGOs, and international
institutions that view the merging of security with development as
both unproblematic and progressive. This volume addresses this new
security-development nexus and investigates internal institutional
logics, as well as the operation of policy, its dangers,
resistances and complicity with other local and national social
processes. Drawing on detailed ethnography, the contributors offer
new vantage points to understand the workings of multiple,
intersecting, and conflicting power structures, which whilst local,
are tied to non-local systems and operate across time. This volume
is a necessary critique and extension of key themes integral to the
security- development nexus debate, highlighting the importance of
a situated and substantive understanding of human security.
