Resumen

MEDEIROS, Isabel. Socio-spatial impacts of security privatization in African cities. Finisterra [online]. 2011, n.92, pp.67-76. ISSN 0430-5027.

The diffusion of security privatization in many African cities is still a relatively new reality, following the uneven impact of globalization on a continental scale. Starting from a set of particular situations (cities of Maputo, Cape town, Johannesburg, Windhoek, Nairobi, Kano, Lagos, Ibadan , Accra), which all have in common the involvement of multiple entities and some informality level, an analysis on the current situation was made. This analysis considered motivations and consequences on special practices, but, mainly, social relations, internal community dynamics and connecting links between citizens and government. In this perspective, we also tried to specify the role of an unstable public power, as well as the security privatization effect on a multidimensional process of urban fragmentation

Palabras clave : security privatization; Africa; cities; governance.
