However, African security can only be understood by employing different levels of analysis: the individual (human security), the state (national\/state security), and the region (regional\/international security). Each of these levels provides analytical tools for understanding what could be called the \"African security predicament\" and these debates are animated by the \"new security\" issues: immigration, small arms transfers, gangs and domestic crime, HIV\/AIDS, transnational crime, poverty, and environmental degradation. African security therefore not only presents concrete challenges for international security but provides a real-world context for challenging conventional conceptions of security.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing together contributions from a wide range of key thinkers in the field, the \u003ci\u003eRoutledge Handbook of African Security\u003c\/i\u003e engages with these debates, and is organized into four parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart I: The African security predicament in the twenty-first century;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart II: Understanding conflict in Africa;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart III: Regionalism and Africa;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart IV: External influences.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Handbook will be of great interest to students of African politics, human security, global security, war and conflict studies, peacebuilding, and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Hentz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415682142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415682145\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 1.00d","brand":"James Hentz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658868699391,"sku":"9780415682145","price":370.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/routledge-handbook-of-african-security-james-hentz-9780415682145","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
