Abstract/Index
From colonial carve-up to Jihadist battleground–the historical roots of Al-Shabaab. The colonial histories of Somalia and Kenya. From independence to institutional fragility: post-colonial challenges in Somalia and Kenya. Al-Shabaab’s evolution: from Somali insurgency to regional threat. Al-Shabaab’s enduring threat and the necessity of Kenya-Somalia counterterrorism cooperation. Transnational counterterrorism strategies–Kenya, Somalia and global partnerships against Al-Shabaab. Intelligence sharing and security cooperation between Kenya, Somalia, and external actors. Cross-border and multinational military interventions. Diplomatic efforts, regional cooperation and international engagement. Human rights concerns and the impact on local populations. Evaluating the effectiveness and limitations of current counterterrorism approaches. Tactical successes and strategical paralysis–rethinking the war against Al-Shabaab. The violence of stability–rethinking security as a political practice. Security is not sovereignty. The political economy of permanent insecurity. From terrorist to actor–Al-Shabaab as a political interlocutor. Recalibrating external engagement. Imagining regional sovereignty: collective security. Security is a public good. The end of counterterrorism, or the beginning of politics?
