Transborder Pastoral Nomadism and Human Security in Africa cover

This book examines the nexus between political borders, pastoral nomadism, and human security in Africa. It uses a host of applied interdisciplinary insights to analyse social, political, and cultural processes, circumstances, and consequences to showcase the human security crisis in the context of climate change, inter-group relations, leadership strategies, institutions, and governance within the region.

With a special focus on West Africa and Nigeria, the volume discusses crucial themes that highlight the role of borders in the security architecture of the region which include,

• Political economy of herdsmen-farmers’ conflicts in West Africa;

• The scarcity-migration perspective of the Sahel region;

• Population pressure, urbanization, and nomadic pastoral violence in West Africa;

• Human trafficking and kidnapping for ransom in Nigeria;

• Drivers of ‘labour’ migration of Fulani herders to Ghana, and other topics.

A key contribution to a pressing issue, this volume will be of interest to scholars and students of history, political science, anthropology, geography, international relations, literature, environmental science, and peace and conflict studies.
