interested in contemporary security issues in Africa. It details
the impact of complex challenges in Africa and explains why

general overviews and specific case studies, this book provides an
excellent introduction to contemporary security issues in Africa,
home to more than thirty of the fifty most fragile nations in the
world. It covers the last three decades of conflict on the
continent, focusing on such topics as weak and failing states,
ethnic conflict and civil wars, natural resources and environmental
security, political violence and terrorism, piracy and maritime
security, food security and poverty, international responses, and

of the nexus between culture, politics, and security in Africa,
while the volume as a whole examines key regional and transnational
