National and Regional Perspectives on Africa's Emerging Threats

National and Regional Perspectives on Africa’s Emerging Threats: Governance, Security and Development is a timely and powerful intervention on one of the most critical issues of our generation. Rigorous, intellectually courageous, and with a vision that spans continents, this book shows that Africa’s growing insecurity cannot be divorced from governance deficits, rising inequality, state fragility, climate change, violent extremism, transnational crime, and uneven development. This is not just a book about the threats Africa faces. It is a book about the opportunities that lie ahead. * Toyin Falola, Jacob and Frances Sanger Mossiker Chair in the Humanities, University of Texas at Austin, USA *
National and Regional Perspectives on Africa’s Emerging Threat is a timely and insightful contribution to African security scholarship. Under the expert editorship of Richard Obinna Iroanya, this volume examines the continent’s evolving security landscape through a multidisciplinary lens, covering governance, human security, climate change, technology, terrorism, maritime insecurity, and socioeconomic challenges. By linking local realities to regional and global dynamics, the contributors highlight practical pathways to resilience, institutional reform, and sustainable development. Rich in scholarship and policy relevance, this book is an essential resource for academics, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in Africa’s peace, security, and development. * Patrick Dzimiri, Professor of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Venda, South Africa *
