{"product_id":"community-of-insecurity-1","title":"Community of Insecurity","description":"Exploring the formation, evolution and effectiveness of the regional  security arrangements of the Southern African Development Community (SADC),  Nathan examines a number of vital and troubling questions:   * why has SADC struggled to establish a viable security regime?  * why has it been unable to engage in successful peacemaking?, and  * why has it defied the optimistic prognosis in the early 1990s that  it would build a security community in Southern Africa?  He argues that the answers to these questions lie in the absence of common  values among member states, the weakness of these states and their  unwillingness to surrender sovereignty to the regional organization.  Paradoxically, the challenge of building a co-operative security regime lies  more at the national level than at the regional level.   The author's perspective is based on a unique mix of insider access, analytical rigour  and accessible theory.","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54263325458776,"sku":"9781409430445","price":198.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781409430445.jpg?v=1777777267","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/community-of-insecurity-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
