Conflict and Violence in the Lake Chad BasinInsecurity in Central Africa\nAuthor(s): Emmanuel Chauvin, Olivier Langlois, Christian Seignobos, Catherine Baroin\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Berghahn Books, United Kingdom\nImprint: Berghahn Books\nISBN-13: 9781836951063, 978-1836951063\nSynopsis\nRanging from Boko Haram to the war in the Central African Republic, insecurity forms a major factor among societies in the Lake Chad Basin (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Niger, Nigeria, Chad). Marred by conflict and violence, these territories are difficult to access and not well-known, so they tend to be out of reach for scholarly study and development programs. The long-term and in-depth field studies that this volume presents offer a window on conflict analysis based on insights into local dynamics and the lived world of the people themselves.
