Edited by Paul Jackson, Professor of African Politics, University of Birmingham, UK and Research Fellow, Centre for African Studies, University of the Free State, South Africa

The Handbook of International Security and Development provides a survey of current thinking within the field of security and development. With a wide range of chapters that offer a guide to the core approaches, methods and issues, this book explores the links between the two and includes contributions from both practitioners and academics. With topics ranging from the politics of aid by remote control through to intervention and the re-establishment of security and demobilisation of combatants, this Handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the literature and approaches used in the field of security and development.

‘Security and economics have traditionally been separate fields of study. This very impressive collection brings them together precisely when the need for this is becoming obvious to everyone.’
