Sommario/riassunto

This book consists of scientific papers resulting from an international workshop: 'Environmental and Cultural Change in West- and Central Africa' organized by the German Research Foundation (DFG) in Yaoundé, Cameroon, March 2006. Problems of Holocene and Late Pleistocene modifications of the rain forest savanna fringe and their possible influence on cultural innovations are discussed.The book will be of interest to all concerned with tropical forests and related development problems of third world countries, especially ecologists, botanists and earth scientists.

Introduction Globalization and the Nation-State in Africa and Asia Globalization and Local Conflict in Africa Energy Security and the Paradox of External Peacebuilding Interventions in Nigeria's Niger Delta International Policies and Illegal Logging Exploitation Sustaining Local Conflict in DRC The Politics and Political Economy of Violent Conflicts in Post-War Mozambique Globalization and Local Conflict in Asia Local Conflicts in Post-Reform Myanmar Imbalance Between Public Health and Intellectual Property Rights Protection Goals: Battles on AIDS Medicines in Thailand Afghanistan and the Curse of Resources: Taliban's Greed-Based Jihad in the Heart of Asia Conclusion

Sommario/riassunto

This edited book is written by six authors from Asia and Africa. The individual authors focus on their own country's case or cases that they have been working on. The book features local conflicts in six countries in Asia and Africa and identifies how the local conflicts are affected by the forces of globalization. Cases include Nigeria's oil-related conflicts, the Democratic Republic of Congo's timber conflicts, continuing



instability in Mozanbique, Thailand's conflict with regard to AIDS medicine, Myanmar's local conflicts after its reforms, and the Afghanistan's conflicts over minerals. From these diverse case studies, the book examines how globalization and international politics affect local politics and conflicts, and vice versa. Even seemingly internal conflicts are shown to be significantly influenced by globalization forces and to create new dynamism in local politics. While there are other books that explore globalization and conflicts, many of them are conceptually organized with a small number of case studies. The present volume examines local conflicts in relation to globalization and demonstrates how structural inequality vis-a-vis weak stateness and statehood are significantly affected by global political economy.-- Provided by publisher
