Abstract: | African Security: Local Issues and Global Connections provokes new ways of thinking about solutions to African security - solutions that consider the eclectic and sometimes disparate natures of African conflicts and that address both their domestic and their external dimensions. The book centers on the concept of glocalized security, which draws from sociological critiques that point to localization within globalization. This edited collection brings the concept of glocalization into African security studies by examining the fusion of domestic and external drivers of conflicts and how that relationship creates a glocalized security situation across Africa. The chapters in this volume engage the literature on domestic and external causes of conflicts in Africa, most notably issues of patrimonialism, ethnicity, natural resources, climate change, and geopolitics. These conflict drivers are woven in with known theories on security, such as neocolonialism, liberal peace, responsibility to protect (R2P), and collective security. The book presents rich qualitative and historical data, convincingly analyzed and theorized. |
| "Established scholars in Africa, Europe, and the United States provide a novel conceptual and policy frame-glocalization-to understand the domestic and external drivers of conflicts in Africa, with case studies covering relevant and pressing cases of international and regional security, such as Libya, Mali, Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda, and Congo"-- |
