The book elucidates, from policy science perspectives, the ethnographic, socio-economic and political contexts of the insurgency, as well as the challenges besetting the manifold interventionist measures - national, regional and international - aimed at combating it. I strongly recommend this book to all policy scholars, practitioners and agencies interested in African security and counter-terrorism on a global scale. -- Kenneth Omeje, University of Johannesburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart I: Conceptual and Contextual Perspectives  Introduction: Lake Chad Basin - Africa’s Emerging Regional Security Complex Usman A.
