    Abstract: Map lines delineating statehood can become blurred by bloodlines of nationhood. Inter-ethnic conflict and genocide have demonstrated the dangers of failing to protect people targeted by fellow citizens. When minority groups in one country are targeted for killings or ethnic cleansing based on their group identity, whose responsibility is it to protect them? In particular, are they owed any protective responsibility by their kin state? How can cross-border kinship ties strengthen greater pan-national identity across borders without challenging territorially defined national security? As shown b

    Abstract: "This publication focuses on the non-governmental component in ethno-political conflicts. Civil society actors, or 'conflict society organizations' (CoSOs), are increasingly central in view of the complexity of contemporary ethno-political conflicts. CoSOs are key players in ethno-political conflicts, both as violators and as promoters of human rights. Nevertheless, the precise relationships underpinning the human rights-civil society-conflict nexus have not been fully examined. This volume analyzes the impact of civil society on ethno-political conflicts through their human rights-related activities, and identifies the means to strengthen the complementarity between civil society and international governmental actors in promoting peace. These aims are addressed in case studies on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Turkey's Kurdish question, and Israel-Palestine"--Provided by publisher

    Note: "Every day, small arms and light weapons (SALW) kill and maim, wound and threaten millions of adults and children, whether combatants and civilians in war zones or gangs and communities in degraded "peacetime" environments that are characterized by large-scale violence. Due to their widespread availability, mobility and ease of use prolific SALW have become central to maintaining social dislocation, destabilization, insecurity and crime in the build-up to war, in wartime and in the aftermath of violent conflict. Small arms are misused within domestic settings, as well as in public spaces, and they affect everyone in the community without regard to sex or age. Although the impacts of these weapons can be vastly different for women and men, girls and boys, a careful consideration of gender and age is rare in the formulation of small arms policy, of planning small arms collection or control, or even in small arms research. To counter the effects of prolific SALW, their role in reinforcing and maintaining gender- and age-specific violence must be more deeply analyzed and the results applied at the policy and operational level. This work should be undertaken in war-afflicted contexts, in societies suffering from elevated levels of social violence and/or severe underdevelopment, and in those tolerant of the presence of individually owned firearms. Contributors to this book draw on experience and research from around the world on the nexus of gender, age, violence and small arms in developing and developed countries. Their findings feed into a number of recommendations for future policy formulation, program implementation and research designed to further illuminate and counteract the firing of the 'sexed pistol'."--Page 4 of cover , Sexing the pistol : the gendered impacts of prolific small arms - Vanessa Farr, Henri Myrttinen and Albrecht Schnabel -- - Gender, attitudes and the regulation of small arms : implications for action - Wendy Cukier and James Cairns -- - Girls and small arms in Sierra Leone : victimization, participation and resistance - Myriam Denov and Richard Maclure -- - Small arms and rape as a system of war : a case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - Felicity Szesnat -- - Haiti : the gendered pattern of small-arms violence against women - Nadine Puechguirbal, Wiza Loutis and Natalie Man -- - State, society and the gender of gun culture in Papua New Guinea - Sinclair Dinnen and Edwina Thompson -- - "Now they have guns, now they feel powerful" --gender perspectives on small-arms violence in Timor-Leste - Saleh Abdullah and Henri Myrttinen -- - "That's equality for you, dear" : gender, small arms and the Northern Ireland conflict - Miranda Alison -- - The gun on the kitchen table : the sexist subtext of private policing in Israel - Rela Mazali -- - Securing private spaces : gendered labour, violence and democratization in South Africa - Jennifer N.

A main argument in the volume is that the legitimacy of global governance is weak, and the way to make it more legitimate is to enhance the participation of state and non-state agents, give a strong role to statehood and democratic politics, and priority to public interest over private/corporate interests in global governance.--Publisher's description

    Abstract: Parts of Africa experience persistent violence and seemingly intractable confl icts. These generally have deep historical roots dating to colonial periods and before, and many of them have become more destructive in the post-Cold war period. These violent confl icts have drawn researchers seeking to determine and explain why con-fl icts are prevalent, what makes them intensify, and how confl icts can be resolved. However much of the literature on research methodology does not address the complexities of con-ducting research in the midst of violent confl ict and massive ethno-political disputes

    Abstract: "Parts of Africa experience persistent violence and seemingly intractable conflicts. These generally have deep historical roots dating to colonial periods and before, and many of them have become more destructive in the post-Cold war period. These violent conflicts have drawn researchers seeking to determine and explain why conflicts are prevalent, what makes them intensify, and how conflicts can be resolved. However much of the literature on research methodology does not address the complexities of conducting research in the midst of violent conflict and massive ethno-political disputes. This book directly addresses these issues. It examines the ethical and practical issues of researching within violent and divided societies. It provides fascinating and factual case studies from Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa. The authors provide insights about researching conflict in Africa that can only be gained through fieldwork experience. This book is of interest to all researchers interested in Africa and to those involved in research about, and within, societies experiencing conflict and violence

Digital Library Federation, December 2002 , Includes bibliographical references and indexes , "Science - "empirical knowledge"--And technology - "applied science" - have long played a key role in social development. In modern times they have come to be seen as absolutely essential factors in the achievement of economic growth and development. And though many dispute their ascendancy and legitimately point to their abuses, there is no escaping their presence and impact." "Taking as a main theme the central role of science and technology in economic progress, this first-of-a-kind sourcebook gathers together the perspectives and expertise of an international body of specialists in science and technology policy to examine the role of science and technology in development, and assess their social, economic, and political dimensions. The authors look at the key issues in relation to the exigencies of developing countries in the "new international context." They emphasize the complexity of the links between science, technology, and development and the important insights to be gained from the study of these links. The authors also point out that, despite science and technology's promise of social and economic progress, such progress is less than ever an inevitable result of their application - though there is no doubt about what can be achieved through science and technology, the quest is an uncertain one."--Jacket , Modern science and technology - Jean-Jacques Salomon -- - The story of development thinking - Nasser Pakdaman -- - Measuring science, technology, and innovation - Jan Annerstedt -- - Western science in perspective and the search for alternatives - Andrew Jamison -- - The institutionalization process - Hebe Vessuri -- - The behaviour of scientists and scientific communities - Jacques Gaillard -- - Technology, economics, and late industrialization - Jorge Katz -- - Technological capabilities - Sanjaya Lall -- - The environmental challenge - Ignacy Sachs -- - Science and technology policy - Atul Wad -- - Technology transfer and diffusion - Amitav Rath -- - Technology choice and development - Ajit Bhalla -- - New technologies : opportunities and threats - Paulo Rodrigues Pereira -- - Technology assessment - Harvey Brooks
