      abstract = {This book shows the push and pull effects between  resources, human security and conflicts in Africa. It  recognizes the need for resources in Africa to be processed  into finished goods in order to influence global market and  redefine the pattern of trade relations with powerful  countries of Asia, America and Europe in shaping the  destiny and future of African countries. The achievement of  this laudable objective is plagued by the security  challenges which are directly or indirectly linked to  resource-related conflicts rocking most of the resource  endowed countries in the continent, thereby threatening  global peace and security. To deal with this menace in the  continent, it requires global co-operation and support of  foreign governments, international organizations,  international non-government organizations, governments of  host countries and its citizens. The book presents the  cases and experiences of countries that are endowed with  resource, as well as have experienced different forms of  human insecurity and have witnessed environmental conflicts  in its analysis, which make the discourse interesting and  quite educating.
