The Security-Development Nexus

The inclusion of case studies from Africa, Asia and Europe helps to provide the text with a strong geographical focus, and additional chapters concentrate on issues affecting China, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa. Overall, the text#x19;s collected essays provide a detailed and comprehensive view of the topic, both theoretically and empirically. #x18;The Security-Development Nexus#x19; is a vital appraisal of both the present issues and current thought concerning conflict, security and development.
