Description: This new Handbook examines the issues challenges and debates surrounding the problem of security in Africa. Africa is home to most of the world's current conflicts and security is a key issue. However African security can only be understood by employing different levels of analysis: the individual (human security) the state (national/state security) and the region (regional/international security). Each of these levels provides analytical tools for understanding what could be called the " African security predicament" and these debates are animated by the "new security" issues: immigration small arms transfers gangs and domestic crime HIV/ AIDS transnational crime poverty and environmental degradation. African security therefore not only presents concrete challenges for international security but provides a real - world context for challenging conventional conceptions of security. Drawing together contributions from a wide range of key thinkers in the field the Routledge Handbook of African Security engages with these debates and is organized into four parts: Part I: The African security predicament in the twenty - first century; Part II: Understanding conflict in Africa; Part III: Regionalism and Africa; Part IV: External influences. This Handbook will be of great interest to students of African politics human security global security war and conflict studies peacebuilding and IR in general.
