Militancy and Violence in West Africa: Religion, politics and radicalisation: Contemporary Security Studies
Editat de James Gow, Funmi Olonisakin, Ernst Dijxhoornen Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 apr 2015
Concern about terrorism in, or from, West Africa, has been recognised in academic research, and the adoption of militarised approaches to addressing it questioned. However, the basis for that questioning – the need to investigate factors such as the historical and socio-economic roots of militancy – is not developed, nor is it substantiated in existing studies. The significant impact of religiously motivated radicalisation and violence in West Africa upon international security makes it essential to understand the issues of militancy and violence in the region.
In this volume, the authors draw upon empirical research in West Africa to develop understanding in these areas. Over the course of several chapters written by leading experts in the field, the book successfully blends historical and conceptual analysis with new empirical research gathered from focus group discussions and research interviews. Each of these core studies is structured around five interrelated issues: tracing the antecedents of radicalisation; monitoring trends; identifying actors; anticipating possibilities; and analysing the strength of existing preventive mechanisms.
This book will be of much interest to students of African security, African politics, radicalisation, political Islam, war and conflict studies and security studies in general.
