This 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 in 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.

What does security really mean for Africans in today's increasingly globalized and interdependent world ? Is it addressing the estimated 15,000 people killed by terrorism-related violence in northeastern Nigeria since 2011; the nearly 3 million people displaced by ongoing conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ; or the more than 1,000 young children across the continent that will die each day from lack of clean water and poor sanitation ? The authors seek to answer these and other questions through their examination of the evolving nature of the African security paradigm in light of the multitude of diverse threats and challenges facing the continent and the international community. Through the lens of human security this book examines the continent's most pressing security challenges - from identity conflict and failing states to terrorism, disease, and environmental degradation - and in doing so provides a comprehensive look at the complexities of building peace and stability in modern-day Africa. It critically assesses the state of progress at the local, regional, and international level in addressing security challenges and presents new strategies and tools for more effectively engaging Africans and the global community in their common search for solutions.
