Description

This publication explores current global security issues, their development in West Africa and their potential impact on regional stability. It takes a close look at issues such as terrorism and trafficking, climate change, and the links between "security and development". Some of these issues are still the object of heated debate.

It also highlights the need for coordinated policies and dialogue between West Africa, North Africa and OECD countries.  Read more...
