Chapter Chapter 2 in Corruption, Sustainable Development and Security Challenges in Africa, 2023, pp 11-34 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides a contextual analysis of the key issues and current trends in Africa vis-à-vis corruption and sustainable development, the resultant challenges for security, and the implications for peace, security, and stability on the continent. Africa is deemed to be at a crossroads currently, slowly moonwalking its way to nowhere as corruption rages, development stagnates, and peace and security therefore become elusive. It is shown why some combination of predatory behavior, insecurity and instability, and bad governance have all been identified and proven to be the reasons for the lack of sustainable development on the continent.
