About the Book

This volume delineates the critical link among security, education and development in Africa and provides a multidisciplinary framework of analyses and possible solutions. Africa has had a long history that embodies layers of mass-scale criminality and exploitation not merely from neocolonial and apartheid policies but also from political greed. This has impacted adversely on security, education and development in a way that deprivation of education and underdevelopment, in turn, re-creates security issues. The volume aims firstly to help augment scholarly inquiry into the nexus among in/security, education and development through the multidisciplinary framework of analyses; secondly to provide policymakers and educators with tools and a framework to comprehend the complexity and magnitude of the issues to which they ought to be sensitive and respond; and finally to provide caregivers and childcare agencies of the state a comprehensible framework of underlying, multifaceted sources of trauma experienced by children in extraordinary circumstances. It is organized in four sections: theoretical conceptualization on security and development; country cases on security and development; security and educational development; and country cases on security and education. Serving as a significant compass to understand and respond to the complex interplay and impact of security, education and development in Africa, it is of great use to graduates and scholars interested in Africa Politics, IPE, security studies and development studies.

Review :
'This is a timely book that immediately and critically responds to the missing links between security, education and social development in the Sub-Saharan African context. It effectively achieves important analytical and selectively pragmatizable perspectives on some of the most pressing issues currently affecting the sub-continent including chronic conflict, human trafficking, gender-based violence and possibilities for peace building. It will benefit students and specialized scholars, policy makers and the general public.' - Ali A. Abdi, Professor, University of British Columbia, Canada 'This chef d’oeuvre is a remarkable addition to the existing scholarship on the African continent inasmuch as it contemplates newer ways of coping with the traumatic conflicts and insecurities of the past and present times. The authors set up new blueprints for a better and safer Africa, and by extension a safer world. Students of African history and African decision-makers should appropriate the conclusions from this book.' - Dr. Siendou Ahmadou Konate, Associate Professor of African and American Studies. Editor-in-Chief, Ivorian Journal of Comparative Studies (IJCS) Felix Houphouet-Boigny University, Cote d’Ivoire
