African Governance, Security, and Development explores the political economy of development in Africa. The contributors examine the impact and implications of the democratization process in Africa with particular focus on issues of economic, social, and institutional development. Through a variety of critical perspectives and disciplines, contributors analyze topics such as the impact of democratization on governance and institutional development, foreign aid and foreign direct investment, terrorism in Africa, identity politics, and the politics of oil extraction. African Governance, Security, and Development features the voices of scholars from institutions of higher learning in Africa and showcases case studies from the continent, bringing much-needed African and Africanist perspectives to current discussions about African political development and economy.

African Governance, Security, and Development is a comprehensive and thoughtful collection of timely essays written to reveal enduring patterns in African political and socio-economic life.

The volume elegantly interweaves several themes in the development discourse in a way that is useful to students and practitioners of African governance.
