Democratic governance and security: a conceptual exploration -- Comparative perspectives on regional security co-operation among Developing Countries -- Southern African security in historical perspective -- Botswana -- Lesotho -- Mauritius -- Mozambique -- Namibia -- Seychelles -- South Africa -- Swaziland -- Tanzania -- Zambia -- Zimbabwe -- Conclusions.

Summary: Southern Africa has embarked on one of the world's most ambitious security co-operation initiatives, seeking to roll out the principles of the United Nations at regional levels. This book examines the triangular relationship between democratisation, the character of democracy and its deficits, and national security practices and perceptions of eleven southern African states. It explores what impact these processes and practices have had on the collaborative security project in the region. Based on national studies conducted by African academics and security practitioners over three years, it includes an examination of the way security is conceived and managed, as well as a comparative analysis of regional security co-operation in the developing world.
