This volume offers an informed and critical analysis of the operationalization and institutionalization of the peace and security architecture by the African Union and Africa's Regional Economic Communities (RECs). In creating this architecture, the African Union and the RECs tread new ground with potentially significant consequences to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Africans who are affected by war and armed conflict. In-depth, critical chapters inform, clarify and provide key points for reflection on the architecture as a whole as well as on each of the structures currently under implementation. The volume examines the institutions that will carry the mandate forward, raises pertinent research questions for the successful operationalization of the architecture and debates the medium and long-term challenges to implementation.
Students and researchers of African approaches to peace building, conflict resolution and regional security will benefit from the deep and critical engagement of issues covered in this volume by world renowned scholars and practitioners.
The post-Cold War world has seen the emergence of new kinds of security threats. Whilst traditionally security threats were perceived of in terms of military threats against a state, non-traditional security threats are those that pose a threat to various internal competencies of the state and its identity both home and abroad. The European Union and the United States have identified Latin American cocaine trafficking as a security threat, but their policy responses to it have differed. This book examines the ways in which the EU and the US have conceptualized this threat. Furthermore, it explores the impact of cocaine trafficking on four state functions - economic, political, public order and diplomatic - in order to explain why it has become'securitized'. Appealing to a variety of university courses, this book is especially relevant to security studies and European and US policy analysis, as well as criminology and sociology. Human security has been advanced as an alternative to traditional state-based conceptualizations of security, yet controversies about the use and abuse of the concept remain. Investigating innovations in the advancement of the human security agenda over the past decade, this book identifies themes and processes around which consensus for future policy action might be built. It considers the ongoing debates regarding the human security agenda, explores prospects and projects for the advancement of human security, addresses issues of human security as emerging forms of new multilateralisms and examines claims that human security is being undermined by US unilateralisms. This comprehensive volume explores the theoretical debate surrounding human security and details the implications for practical application. It will prove ideal for students of international relations, security studies and development studies. The security issues confronting Asia are both complex and diverse. Given the increasing trend towards an expanding security agenda beyond the military dimension of inter-state relations, this volume provides an extensive study of emerging non-traditional challenges to this region. New realities and new challenges have come to the fore including environmental degradation, illegal immigration, infectious diseases, transnational crime, poverty and underdevelopment. Drawing upon the concepts of securitization and de-securitization, this book brings together regional perspectives from across Asia to examine how these challenges are perceived and managed. It is a valuable contribution to both security and Asian studies and will be ideally suited to those interested in security studies, international relations and development studies. "This book presents an analysis of the successes and failures of foreign interventions in intrastate ethnic wars. The main novelty of the book and its added-value to the current research in the fields of international security and conflict resolution is in considering successes of third party actions not by durable peace established in a target country (as this is a wide-spread scholarly view) but by actual fulfillment of intervention goals and objectives. Multilateral interventions are more likely to achieve success in the pursuit of their goals than unilateral actions. Nalbandov uses in-depth studies of interventions in Chad, Georgia, Somalia, and Rwanda, with the main theories of international security - the ethnic security dilemma and the credible commitment problem - to test and enrich this relevant book."--Jacket.This book presents an analysis of the successes and failures of foreign interventions in intrastate ethnic wars.

This volume analyzes the successes and failures of foreign interventions in intrastate ethnic wars. Adding value to current research in the fields of international security and conflict resolution, it adopts the unique approach of considering successes of third party actions not by durable peace established in a target country (which is the more traditional approach) but by actual fulfilment of intervention goals and objectives, because multilateral interventions are more likely to achieve success in the pursuit of their goals than unilateral actions. Robert Nalbandov takes in-depth studies of interventions in Chad, Georgia, Somalia and Rwanda and relates them to the main theories of international security - the ethnic security dilemma and the credible commitment problem - to produce a fascinating and valuable volume.

The security issues confronting Asia are complex. This book brings together regional perspectives from across Asia, to examine how the challenges are perceived and managed; drawing upon the concepts of securitization and desecuritization. It is aimed at those interested in security studies, international relations and development studies These original chapters mark - as celebration as well as reflection and revisionism - a decade of 'human security' (Burgess and Owen, 2004). They explore the prospects for the human security agenda in the next decade, with respect to the possibilities inherent in new multilateralisms as emergent forms of global governance Post-graduate and research students involved in African approaches to peacebuilding and conflict resolution and regional security courses will benefit from the deep and critical engagement of issues covered by world renowned scholars and practitioners in this volume This collection of original, edited chapters seeks to mark - as celebration as well as reflection and revisionism - a decade of 'human security' (Burgess and Owen 2004).
