Britain and Africa in the twenty-first century provides the first
analysis of UK-Africa policy in the era of austerity, Conservative
government and Brexit. It explores how Britain's relationship with
Africa has evolved since the days of Blair, Brown and 'Make Poverty
History' and examines how a changing UK political environment, and
international context, has impacted upon this longstanding - and
deeply complex - relationship. This edited collection includes
contributions from leading UK- and Africa-based scholars, as well
as from Chatham House's Africa Programme Head and the Chair of the
All-Party Parliamentary Group on Africa. Examining trade, security,
aid and peacekeeping, as well as the role of political parties,
advocacy groups and the UK population itself, Britain and Africa
provides an indispensable reference point for researchers and
practitioners interested in contemporary UK-Africa relations and
the place of Africa in British foreign policy. -- .
This textbook draws on academic theory, field research and policy
developments to provide an overview of the connections between
security and development, before, during and after conflict. This
third edition is revised and updated to take account of changes
that have occurred in both policy and academic arenas which are
relevant to students and practitioners in this area. In addition,
there is a new chapter on memory and memorialisation after
conflict. In an interdependent world, it is often argued that the
challenges of underdevelopment and insecurity have global
implications. This textbook charts an accessible course through
these complex debates, providing a comprehensive introduction for
those encountering these issues for the first time. The main aims
of the revised edition are: to set out how thinking on conflict,
security and development has changed over time and continues to
evolve; to explore the consequences of these changes, particularly
for the theory and practice of development and security promotion;
to introduce a range of case studies from across the globe, in
order to explore the implications of a combined approach to
security and development. The authors are experienced in both the
theory and the practice of this field, and illustrate the links
between conflict, security and development with practical examples,
drawing on key case studies from the past twenty years. Each
chapter is informed by student pedagogy, and the book will be
essential reading for all students of development studies, war and
conflict studies, and human security, and is recommended for
students of international security and international relations in
general.
