He argues that the answers to these questions lie in the absence of common values among member states, the weakness of these states and their unwillingness to surrender sovereignty to the regional organization. Paradoxically, the challenge of building a co-operative security regime lies more at the national level than at the regional level. The author's perspective is based on a unique mix of insider access, analytical rigour and accessible theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurie Nathan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138250758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLaurie Nathan is the Director of the Centre for Mediation in the Department of Political Sciences at the University of Pretoria, South Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45024840745075,"sku":"9781138250758","price":123.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_a725e564-45df-414a-81d2-0e03aa5dd534.jpg?v=1779371803","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/community-of-insecurity-sadcs-struggle-for-peace-and-security-in-southern-africa-9781138250758","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
