    Reimagining Security Communities
    (Palgrave Macmillan Cham, 2021-05-25) Onditi, Francis; Ben-Nun, Gilad; Were, Edmond M.; Nyadera, Israel Nyaburi
    This book utilizes a systems thinking perspective to propose a holistic framework of analysis and practice for the regional security community (“RSC”) arrangement in Africa. In responding to the challenge of improving effectiveness of response to peace and security threats, African states tend to rely on ad hoc mechanisms. However, this approach has been mired with a myriad of structural limitations. The holistic framework reconfigures the traditional “RSC” into a simplified tool kit of “resources”, making this textbook ideal for students and advanced researchers in international relations, and all those concerned with regional security and strategic studies.
