Africa and Fortress Europe Threats and Opportunities

The number of African migrants attempting to enter Europe has increased. In Europe, North African migrants are being accused of increased involvement in Islamic fundamentalism and terrorist activities after attacks on Madrid and London. Such terrorist attacks have become an urgent security concern for the European Union (EU) forcing the EU to make migration a security policy. In particular it looks at: the extent to which the EU is threatened by patterns of African crisis; Africa's peace, security and development initiatives; current migration flows from Africa to Europe; and, the challenges and prospects of a comprehensive EU strategy for Africa. Intended for undergraduates, graduates and lecturers, this volume is ideal for courses that discuss the impact of African political developments on international politics.
