Review :
Governance, Security and Development in Contemporary Africa emerges as a crucial scholarly resource that underscores the multifaceted challenges faced by African nations in their quest for effective governance and sustainable development. The book is commendable for its structural approach and the academic rigor of its contributors, effectively weaving together historical insights with contemporary governance issues. This book magnifies understanding and puts information about Africa squarely into the hands of the academia, global corporations, world governments, and any reader seeking to understand Africa's challenges, opportunities, leaders, policy-makers, and society-at-large. I have no grain of doubt that the critical analysis of leadership and sociopolitical changes, peace and security in the regions of the continent - all assiduously covered under the case studies - make this book a must-read. This voume is a call to our collective consciences. This novel collection attempts to move past competition between China and the United States and recenter Africa in debates surrounding its governance, security and development. Many of its chapters offer original takes to key debates within an African studies space. Readers hoping to be introduced to these arguments will find this text valuable.
