The author aims to evaluate Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) with
regard to another theoretical approach to security - Network Actors
Perspective (NAP). The evaluation will focus on how RSCT takes into account
the influence of non-state actors on regional security dynamics and their
growing deterritorialization. Firstly the regional level of analysis approach
will be sketched, and the emphasis will lie on RSCT as defined by Barry
Buzan and Ole Wæver. Its important characteristics and features will be
critically compared with those of NAP. Theresult will be further illustrated
through a case of a regional security complex - the Horn of Africa.
