Abstract

ABSTRACT Africa’s security landscape has been experiencing securitised-development practices through counterterrorism activities from donor countries engaged in the ‘Global War on Terror’ (GWOT). While some African governments continue to ‘benefit’ from the securitised-development agenda, critiques argue that there are human rights concerns that are connected to the practice of securitised-development. They have emphasised how some African governments and military actors involved in fighting the GWOT are also faced with human rights issues. To explore these issues, the article examines the securitised-development agenda in Kenya and Uganda and its impact on human rights. The article argues that the securitised-development practice is characterised by underlying contradictions involving the fight against terrorism and the accompanying human rights concerns in these countries.

非洲证券化发展和人权问题的安全格局

摘要：通过参与“全球反恐战争”（GWOT）的捐助国的反恐活动，非洲的安全格局一直在经历证券化的发展实践。尽管一些非洲政府继续从证券化发展议程中“受益”，但批评人士认为，存在与证券化发展实践有关的人权问题。他们强调，一些参与打击全球反恐战争的非洲政府和军事行为者也面临着人权问题。为了探讨这些问题，本文考察了肯尼亚和乌干达的证券化发展议程及其对人权的影响。文章认为，证券化发展实践的特点是这些国家在打击恐怖主义和随之而来的人权问题方面存在根本矛盾。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
