'The Security-Development Nexus: Peace, Conflict and Development' approaches the subject of the security-development nexus from a variety of different perspectives.

These expositions are supported by a strong geographical focus, with case studies from Africa, Asia and Europe being included. Overall, the text's collected essays provide a detailed and comprehensive view of conflict, security and development.
