This book critically explores the emerging architecture of regional security in Africa with particular reference to counterterrorism and counterinsurgency in the Lake Chad Basin Region. In New Architecture of Regional Security in Africa, the contributors--scholars, policy-makers, and defense/security practitioners from both within and outside Africa--examine the evolution, dynamics, and working mechanisms for peace and security or emerging regional security architecture for regional security in the region. The volume will be essential reading for all academics, scholars, and researchers in academia and NGOs with interests in counterinsurgency and counterterrorism related issues in the Lake Chad Basin region. Additionally, the volume will also be useful for students of counterinsurgency, counterterrorism, small wars, terrorism and strategic studies, and defense and security studies. It will also provide invaluable reference material for policy practitioners working on the activities in the contemporary operating environment within the Lake Chad Basin region. This book offers innovative perspectives on the emerging architecture for regional security in Africa, with a focus on how member states of the Lake Chad Basin Commission are coping with the challenges of terrorism and insurgency. Edited by Usman A. Tar and Bashir Bala, the volume is the first to critically document regional security in the Lake Chad Basin.

This edited volume offers authoritative insights into one of the most destabilising regional security nightmares in contemporary international history, the Boko Haram terrorist insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin of West and Central Africa. The book elucidates, from policy science perspectives, the ethnographic, socio-economic and political contexts of the insurgency, as well as the challenges besetting the manifold interventionist measures - national, regional and international - aimed at combating it. I strongly recommend this book to all policy scholars, practitioners and agencies interested in African security and counter-terrorism on a global scale.
