Conclusion: State and Non-State Policing: Building Inclusive Citizenship, Safety, and Security in East Africa
Perry Stanislas, Kennedy Mkutu, and Edward Mogire
For anyone who aims to understand the multitude of security arrangements in East Africa, this edited volume is a must-read. It is the first serious and concise account analyzing how policing works at the interface of state, private, and communal security arrangements in East Africa. It provides detailed and impressive examples from Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda, which do not only speak to each other, but which make this book a remarkable and convincing masterpiece in the field of Security Studies. In addition, this book addresses upcoming challenges for policing in times when the state is distant.
— Conrad Schetter, professor for Peace and Conflict Research at the University of Bonn
It is often claimed that security and governance are interconnected. Without security, governance is impossible, but without governance, security is unsustainable. This book tackles the phenomenon of security governance in eastern Africa from various angles. The editors have assembled a cast of excellent researchers who have interrogated security and insecurity in Kenya, South Sudan, Tanzania, and Uganda. It is a book well worth reading.
— Samuel M. Makinda
Highly recommended — Kennedy Mkutu has brought together a fascinating and original set of local case studies across Eastern Africa of pluralist policing — that is, where several state, private, and customary bodies are involved in providing policing. An important contribution to a key local security issue for much of the developing world.
