African Security: Local Issues and Global Connections offers a fresh perspective on African security, recognizing the diverse and often complex nature of African conflicts and addressing both their domestic and external dimensions. The book's central concept, "glocalized security," draws from sociological critiques that emphasize the interplay between globalization and localization. This edited collection explores the fusion of domestic and external drivers of conflicts in Africa, highlighting how this relationship creates a unique glocalized security situation across the continent. The chapters delve into various conflict drivers, including patrimonialism, ethnicity, natural resources, climate change, and geopolitics, while also incorporating well-established theories of security, such as neocolonialism, liberal peace, responsibility to protect (R2P), and collective security. The book presents a wealth of qualitative and historical data, which are skillfully analyzed and theorized. The contributors to this volume include Folahanmi Aina, Alfred Babo, Abu Bakarr Bah, Noamane Cherkaoui, Nikolas Emmanuel, Tenley K. Erickson, John Mwangi Githigaro, Michael Nwankpa, Norman Sempijja, and Akram Zaoui. Their diverse backgrounds and expertise contribute to the richness of the book's content. Overall, African Security: Local Issues and Global Connections provides a valuable contribution to the study of African security, offering new insights and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the region.
