Description
Urban Violence, Resilience and Security Governance Responses in the Global South by Michael R. Glass, Taylor B. Seybolt, and Phil Williams is a comprehensive analysis of the diverse nature of urban violence in Latin America, Asia, and Africa. The book explores how governing mechanisms can provide human security despite the presence of chronic violence, and how resilience can be a double-edged approach to improving security. Through a set of original case studies, the authors examine the opportunities and hazards of focusing solely on resilience, and identify governance and policy practices that can move beyond the rhetoric of resilience to achieve human security in urban areas of the Global South. This book will be an excellent resource for academic researchers and policymakers interested in urban dynamics, human security, and policy studies. By questioning common explanations of urban violence and providing measured recommendations for improved policy, Urban Violence, Resilience and Security Governance Responses in the Global South offers a nuanced understanding of the complex issues surrounding urban development in the Global South.
