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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing together contributions from a wide range of key thinkers in the field, the \u003ci\u003eRoutledge Handbook of African Security\u003c\/i\u003e engages with these debates, and is organized into four parts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart I: The African security predicament in the twenty-first century;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart II: Understanding conflict in Africa;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart III: Regionalism and Africa;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart IV: External influences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Handbook will be of great interest to students of African politics, human security, global security, war and conflict studies, peacebuilding, and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257049928024,"sku":"9780415682145","price":328.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415682145_6e922759-a192-4a49-861e-a79d8ab06935.jpg?v=1769072451","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/routledge-handbook-of-african-security-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
