- This book offers a fresh, empirical analysis of the roles of traditional authorities - including kings, Ezes, Obas and Emirs - who are often hailed as potent alternatives to the state in security governance.
- It complicates the assumption that these traditional leaders, by virtue of their customary legitimacy and popular roots, are singularly effective in preventing and managing violence.
- Instead, in exploring their creative adaptation to governance roles after a dramatic postcolonial downturn, this book argues that traditional leaders can augment, but not substitute, the state in addressing insecurity.
- This book's in-depth analysis will be of interest to researchers and policy makers across African and security studies, political science, anthropology, and development.
