This book examines the complex relationship between security, migration, and interstate politics in Africa. It argues that security concerns are increasingly driving migration policies, and that this is having a profound impact on the lives of migrants and the stability of the region.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a theoretical overview of the relationship between security, migration, and interstate politics. The second part examines the case studies of four African countries: Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. The third part offers a comparative analysis of the case studies and draws out the key findings of the book.

The book argues that security concerns are increasingly driving migration policies in Africa. This is due to a number of factors, including the rise of terrorism, the spread of conflict, and the growing number of natural disasters. As a result, African governments are increasingly adopting restrictive migration policies, which are making it more difficult for migrants to enter and stay in the region.

The book also argues that the securitization of migration is having a profound impact on the lives of migrants. Migrants are increasingly being seen as a threat to security, and they are being subjected to a variety of discriminatory practices, including detention, deportation, and even violence. This is having a devastating impact on the lives of migrants and their families.

The book concludes by calling for a more humane and just approach to migration management in Africa. It argues that African governments need to adopt policies that are based on the protection of migrants' rights and that promote the development of the region.
