This book questions the dominant Western narrative of security threats in Africa. By assessing the origins of the traditional approach to security and problematizing failed states, political instability, Muslim populations, and poverty, among others, it makes the case for a critical approach to framing security challenges in Africa.
Security threats in Africa: the case for a critical analysis -- Framing the study of security -- The securitization of space -- The securitization of instability -- Securitizing Africa's Muslim populations -- Poverty and threat in Africa -- Fluid landscapes.
