Produktbeschreibung

Attention to the 'security-development nexus' has become commonplace in national and global policy-making, and yet the exact nature of the term remains undefined. This study approaches the subjects of development and security from a variety of different perspectives, offering an array of interpretations of the nexus along with an analysis of its potentially related issues. Particular attention is paid to studies of conflict and peace, with a focus upon the linkage between these subjects and the topic of the nexus itself.

Specific areas of investigation include the role of diasporas in peace building, the relationship between the nexus and challenges to liberal state-building, and the part played by external parties in the peace processes of the Aceh and Sri Lankan conflicts. The inclusion of case studies from Africa, Asia and Europe provides the text with a strong geographical focus, and constructs a panoramic view of the nexus that encompasses the globe. Further country-based chapters - focusing on China, the Democratic Republic of Congo and South Africa - underline this worldwide perspective.

The volume's collected essays thus provide a detailed and comprehensive view of this fluid, contemporaneous topic, both theoretically and empirically. 'The Security-Development Nexus' is a vital appraisal of both the present issues and current thought concerning conflict, security and development.
