Internal Security Management in Nigeria “This collection of essays spread over twenty nine chapters plus the Introduction and Conclusion, by known and emerging scholars brings out in a highly illuminating and coherent style a nuanced understanding of the causes, nature and dynamics of insecurity in a fledging democratic environment. Its multidisciplinary approach expands both the theoretical and empirical or programmatic lens through which to view and analyse the pathogenic impacts of insecurity in Nigeria. The book remains readable and engaging, and serves as a useful companion to all those who are genuinely interested in the critical or dispassionate analysis of Nigeria’s security conundrum and the various options for mitigation, prevention, management, and resolution. The book is worth having as a useful resource for theoretical inquiry and policy development about serious risks and threats to Africa’s democratic gains and human security.” —Professor Ernest Uwazie, Chair, Division of Criminal Justice; Director, Center for African Peace & Conflict Resolution, California State University, Sacramento, USA “The centrality of the security dialogue in the context of the African Renaissance requires multiple learning spaces. This book takes up an important learning space to transform not only the discourse in Nigeria, but disseminates critical knowledge into the global space where scholars and practitioners are mobile, sharing their knowledge across boundaries and disciplines. This book contains an important collection about internal security management in Nigeria. The discussions about security management in one of the super powers of Africa are well grounded in intellectual thought of African scholars. The book opens up thinking about the possibilities for lasting peace in Nigeria and the countries where the country potentially projects power. The several case studies are not only relevant to the security situation in Nigeria, but is founded on a wealth of theory, making it a critical body of knowledge on security management in Africa and the world. This book contains something for every scholar and specialists in security management. Moreover, it contributes an important body of knowledge that promotes democratic governance and social cohesion in Africa, with potential to inform legal and policy frameworks in Nigeria and other African countries to promote peace within the ambit of the African Renaissance philosophy. This cutting-edge scholarship, in one condensation, is an essential read.” —Professor Andreas Velthuizen, Head of the Institute for African Renaissance Studies, University of South Africa
