This book illustrates how Africa's defence and security domains
have been radically altered by drastic changes in world politics
and local ramifications. First, the contributions of numerous
authors highlight the transnational dimensions of counterterrorism
and counterinsurgency in Africa and reveal the roles played by
African states and regional organisations in the global war on
terror. Second, the volume critically evaluates the emerging
regional architectures of countering terrorism, insurgency, and
organised violence on the continent through the African Union
Counterterrorism Framework (AU-CTF) and Regional Security Complexes
(RSC). Third, the book sheds light on the counterterrorism and
counterinsurgency (CT-COIN) structures and mechanisms established
by specific African states to contain, degrade, and eliminate
terrorism, insurgency, and organised violence on the continent,
particularly the successes, constraints, and challenges of the
emerging CT-COIN mechanisms. Finally, the volume highlights the
entry of non-state actors - such as civil society, volunteer
groups, private security companies, and defence contractors - into
the theatre of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in Africa
through volunteerism, community support for state-led CT-COIN
Operations, and civil-military cooperation (CIMIC). This book will
be of use to students and scholars of security studies, African
studies, international relations, and terrorism studies, and to
practitioners of development, defence, security, and strategy.
