| Summary |
This volume of essays and case studies in the more recently intensifying relationship between international security and development; the security-development nexus is an investigation of internal institutional logics, as well as the operation of policy, its dangers, resistances and complicity with other local and national social processes. Drawing on detailed ethnography in diverse regional areas, the contributors offer readers new vantage points to understand the workings of multiple, intersecting, and conflicting power structures, which while local, are tied to non-local systems and operate across time. Highlighted, is the importance of a situated and substantive understanding of human security. |
