Africa faces an ever-increasing range of security challenges. The traditional threats of civil and border conflicts, crises of governance, and military coups may have receded but they remain active. Meanwhile, other issues such as globalization, security sector reform, terrorism, private security actors, peacekeeping and peace building, and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction have risen to prominence. This book is a result of research carried out by the Southern African Defence and Security Management Network on many of these new and emerging security issues, in cooperation with the Danish Institute for International Studies and the Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung. The broad focus of this book is on security governance--the role of state and a wide range of social actors in the areas of human and state security. The topics covered include policing transformation, intelligence governance, regulation of private security actors, challenges of nuclear proliferation, regional security, peace diplomacy and peace missions, the relationship between development and security, and new challenges in governance of the military. Written by scholars as well as practitioners, and African as well as international researchers, it brings a variety of insights to new and traditional security concerns.
