I wish we had this book for my staff when I was at the State Department. Siko and Victor take a practitioners problem solving approach to anticipate the issues ahead in the 2020s, and connect readers to the latest academic research and case studies that can inform a response. In particular, this book highlights the lessons we have learned following a decade of dramaticchange in Africa, and gives us practical solutions for the future. * Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Africa *An innovative and user-friendly approach to African security. Written in a direct style that will be accessible even for a novice audience, African Security manages to cover tremendous ground in terms of issues, actors, theories, and empirical cases. The main text, concise and to the point, is backed up by rich endnotes that guide the interested reader towards greater expertise. It embraces a holistic notion of security and takes the reader across many essential dimensions of African politics and society. A brilliant gateway to the study of African security by two specialists. * Pierre Englebert, H. Russell Smith Professor of International Relations, Pomona College *An important addition to the growing literature on African security, this is a detailed study of a truly complex subject. Touching on a broad range of topics – from religion and crime to the role of external actors and the politics of military coups, Siko and Victor did a panoramic survey of the continent, and have provided an introductory book for key issues that have underlined Africas security. It is well-written and brilliantly presented and students of African politics will find the book particularly useful. * Abiodun Alao, Professor of African Studies, Kings College London *Siko and Victor masterfully cover the waterfront in this accessible book on African security issues. It is packed with insights, anecdotes, and analytical frameworks that will enable student and practitioner alike to hit the ground running in their academic and professional careers. * Judd Devermont, Africa Program Director, Center For Strategic and International Studies *Essential reading for anyone wanting to understand the complex and critical security issues facing Africa. African Security provides a thorough but concise overview of the security challenges that will directly affect stability, governance, and economic growth across the continent in the years ahead. I wish such a book had been available when I started working on Africa. * Grant T. Harris, Former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for African Affairs at the White House; CEO of Harris Africa Partners LLC *Undergraduate students often struggle to understand complicated and interrelated issues such as ethnicity, religion, neo-patrimonialism, geographic idiosyncrasies, corruption or the role of the army in issues of African security. The book under review offers precisely such a much-needed text and even in an accessible style. The authors speak directly to the reader from the first pages of the book and they do not fail to deliver an accessible guide for less familiar readers of African Studies and Security. * Modern Africa * Promotional A practical guide for teaching courses on African security and contemporary politics Review Quote This is an important addition to the growing literature on African Security, African Security is a detailed study of a truly complex subject.
