This book examines the nexus between political borders, pastoral
nomadism, and human security in Africa. It uses a host of applied
interdisciplinary insights to analyse social, political, and
cultural processes, circumstances, and consequences to showcase the
human security crisis in the context of climate change, inter-group
relations, leadership strategies, institutions, and governance
within the region. With a special focus on West Africa and Nigeria,
the volume discusses crucial themes that highlight the role of
borders in the security architecture of the region which include,
• Political economy of herdsmen-farmers’ conflicts in West
Africa; • The scarcity-migration perspective of the Sahel region;
• Population pressure, urbanization, and nomadic pastoral
violence in West Africa; • Human trafficking and kidnapping for
ransom in Nigeria; • Drivers of ‘labour’ migration of Fulani
herders to Ghana, and other topics. A key contribution to a
pressing issue, this volume will be of interest to scholars and
students of history, political science, anthropology, geography,
international relations, literature, environmental science, and
peace and conflict studies.
