The world has gone through a major transformation in the last two
decades. The end of the Cold War in Europe has led to a massive
increase in private capital flow and has also brought an
information and telecommunication revolution. In this new
interdependent and interconnected world, international trade and
investment has overtaken the importance of national economies.
Globalization has created new opportunities as well as many risks
and challenges. While globalization creates new wealth and
encourages technological innovations, it has also failed to support
and promote sustainable human development and thus can be accused
of generating anguish and deprivation. This has already resulted in
growing civil unrest and, in some cases, contributed to armed
conflicts in the developing world. However, peace and conflict
research has hitherto somehow overlooked the influence of
increasing globalization on the formation and management of such
emerging conflicts. The study of globalization also tends to
overlook a proven fact that the management of conflicts in the
South has been invariably influenced by the global powers and their
strategic politics. This impressive edited volume makes an attempt
to assess the concrete that measures exist which can be effective
in addressing the causes of conflict and building peace in an
increasingly interdependent world.
