Abstract

This chapter explores the Boko Haram insurgency, the emerging counterinsurgency security architecture in the Lake Chad Basin (LCB), and their overall consequences for growth and development in the LCB states. The chapter argues that despite a plethora of research on resurging threats of violent terrorism and the media’s portrayal of Boko Haram jihadism in the Lake Chad region, little is known of the newly envisioned regional security architecture, including its operational cost as well as the consequences of the insurgency and counterinsurgency campaign for growth and development in the light of the Africa rising debate.
