What two reasons or perspectives for the growth of private security on the African continent are found in the text?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
There are two perspectives that explain the growth of the private security industry in Africa. One
perspective is based on the failed or weak state concept where the industry grew because of a
nonexistent or weak governmental infrastructure in some nations that could not provide effective
security-related services. Another explanation is based on philosophical changes of the role of
the state in the provision of security. This perspective proposes that new or neoliberal state policy
decisions do not clearly delineate public–private boundaries and services. Instead, these policies
encourage and endorse private security companies to work with existing state services, leading
to complex security networks that knit together public and private actors
