| 1:「Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta」 | ||||
|
The recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and security concerns. Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta analyses the dynamics of the violence, focusing on the ways in which oil and Nigerian politics have morphed poorly coordinated, non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency. Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of the varied | |||

| 2:「The Rise of Evo Morales and the MAS」 | ||||
|
Evo Morales is one of the world’s most controversial political leaders. His story, and that of the political party he leads, the Movimiento Al Socialismo, is extraordinary. In this insightful and revealing book, Sven Harten explains the success of the MAS and its wider consequences, showing how Morales has become the symbol for a new political consciousness that has entailed de-stigmatizing indigenous identities. It reveals the challenge of squaring the rupture with a discredited past with the cont | |||

| 3:「Palestinian Women」 | ||||
|
Palestinian Women is the first book to examine and document the experiences and historical narrative of ordinary Palestinian women who witnessed the events of 1948 and became involuntary citizens of the State of Israel. Known in Palestinian discourse as the Nakba, or the Catastrophe, these events of sixty years ago still powerfully resonate in contemporary Palestinian-Jewish relations. Told in their own words, the women’s experiences serve as a window for examining the complex intersections of gender | |||

| 4:「Conflict and Development」 | ||||
|
During the 1990s the drive of liberal peace efforts in the form of humanitarian intervention transformed the ways in which traditional development assistance operated in war and post-war situations. From Somalia and Rwanda to Bosnia and Sri Lanka, conflict, security and development became more intertwined as more integrated programmes were advocated by the international community. Conflict and Development traces the evolution of this conflict and development agenda and explores the politics of aid and p | |||

| 5:「Postcolonial Economies」 | ||||
|
Postcolonial approaches to understanding economies are of increasing significance as questions about the nature of globalisation, transnational flows of capital and workers, and the making and remaking of territorial borders assume centre stage in debates about contemporary economics. Yet, despite the growing academic and political urgency in understanding how ’other’ cultures encounter ’the West’, economics has been slow to engage with the ideas and challenges posed by postcolonial critiques.

| 6:「Worst-Case Scenario?」 | ||||
|
In this original and provocative new book, Stuart Price identifies a practice that lies at the core of the western security regime – the worst-case scenario. This consists of the projection of a significant material threat, used to bolster the security agenda of the neoliberal state. This in turn has altered the conduct of military and police operations, which are increasingly directed against any substantial expression of dissent. Using a wide range of official sources and case studies, fro | |||

| 7:「Child Migration in Africa」 | ||||
|
Child Migration in Africa explores the mobility of children without their parents within West Africa. Drawing on the experiences of children from rural Burkina Faso and Ghana, the book provides rich material on the circumstances of children’s voluntary migration and their experiences of it. Their accounts challenge the normative ideals of what a ’good’ childhood is, which often underlie public debates about children’s migration, education and work in developing countries. The comparative study of | |||

| 8:「Turkey Since 1989」 | ||||
|
Turkey has often looked like an odd appendix to the West: economically backward, inward looking, marred by political violence, yet a staunch NATO ally. But since the momentous changes in the world order of 1989, Turkey has become a major power broker and one of the largest economies in the world, albeit with ethnic and religious conflicts persisting. Kerem Öktem charts the contemporary history of Turkey, exploring such key issues as the relationship between religion and the state, Kurdish | |||

|
Biofuels have been much debated, but to date the focus largely has been on Latin America and deforestation. Biofuels, Land Grabbing and Food Security in Africa is a highly original work that breaks fresh ground by looking at the African perspective. Most African governments see biofuels as having the potential to strengthen their national economies, improving energy balances and rural employment. At the same time, climate change may be addressed through the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The | |||

|
Since 1988, China has undergone one of the largest, but least understood, experiments in grassroots democracy. Across 600,000 villages, with almost a million elections, some three million officials have been elected. The Chinese government believes that this is a step towards ’democracy with Chinese characteristics’. But to many involved in them, the elections have been mired by corruption, vote-rigging and cronyism. This book looks at the history of the elections, how they arose, what they | |||
