Human Security and Sustainable Development in East Africa: Routledge Studies in Peace, Conflict and Security in Africa
Editat de Jeremiah O. Asaka, Alice A. Oluoko-Odingoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2024
Human security takes a people-centered rather than state-centered approach to security issues, focusing on whether people feel safe, free from fear, want, and indignity. This book investigates human security in East Africa, encompassing issues as diverse as migration, housing, climate change, displacement, food security, aflatoxins, land rights, and peace and conflict resolution. In particular, the book showcases innovative original research from African scholars based on the continent and abroad, and together the contributors provide policy recommendations and set forth a human security research agenda for East Africa, which encompasses Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Somalia, Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Djibouti.
As well as being useful for policy makers and practitioners, this book will interest researchers across African Studies, Security Studies, Environmental Studies, Political Science, Global Governance, International Relations, and Human Geography.

Recenzii
"Today’s interconnected crises – from environmental and climate change to global pandemics, and migration – are changing the security landscape. What previously was a multifaceted security arena, is today a single security space of interlocking challenges far beyond traditional state-based security. This book offers a new, alternative perspective on human security, offering a way to make sense of this interconnected world. Centered on the dignity, empowerment, and context of people’s everyday life in East Africa, Jeremiah O. Asaka and Alice A. Oluoko-Odingo bring together an interdisciplinary set of Eastern African scholars and practitioners to explore human security challenges in the region in new light."
Florian Krampe, Program Director and Senior Researcher, Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, Sweden.
"Asaka and Oluoko-Odingo take us on a journey through East Africa in the company of a multidisciplinary team of seasoned and junior East African born scholars. Together they provide an insider perspective on regional security issues, which would be of interest to academics and practitioners alike. The editors present us a conceptual framework of conflict analysis which could be consensual both for Western and Non-Western academics."
Denis A. Degterev, Professor, Doctor in Political Science, Chair, Department of Theory and History of International Relations, RUDN University, Moscow, Russia.
"Human Security and Sustainable Development in East Africa is a rich tapestry of enlightening and enriching perspectives on matters security in Eastern Africa. The volume clearly demonstrates how the conceptualization of national security in our contemporary world has deepened from the state as the referent point of national security to the individual as the referent point and how it has broadened from concerns with military-defense issues to issues of human/health security, food security, economic security, and environmental security, among others. The volume is a significant contribution to the burgeoning literature on human security, particularly in the post-Covid-19 world. Authored by Eastern Africans based in Africa and in the diaspora, the volume represents a compelling fresh and much needed new voice on the issue of human security. It should prove an invaluable resource for practitioners of security policy as well as development planners in Eastern Africa and beyond."
