This book, which brings together scholars from the developed and
developing world, explores one of the most salient features of
contemporary international relations: South-South cooperation. It
builds on existing empirical evidence and offers a comparative
analytical framework to critically analyse the aid policies and
programmes of ten rising donors from the global South. Amongst
these are several BRICS (Brazil, India, China and South Africa) but
also a number of less studied countries, including Cuba, Venezuela,
the United Arab Emirates, Colombia, Turkey, and Korea. The chapters
trace the ideas, identities and actors that shape contemporary
South-South cooperation, and also explore potential differences and
points of convergence with traditional North-South aid. This
thought-provoking edited collection will appeal to students and
scholars of international relations, international political
economy, development, economics, area studies and business.
This book charts in detail the West's response, particularly that
of the US, to Libya's possible involvement in the bombing of the
Pan Am airliner over Lockerbie in 1988. It suggests that this
response cannot be fully understood without consideration of the
United States as sole military superpower in the New World Order.
Geoff Simons argues that the US decision to target Libya, and to
involve the UN in this policy, has more to do with the realpolitik
objectives of a hegemonic power than with the disinterested use of
international law to combat terrorism. The Lockerbie issue is set
against a detailed history of Libya from the earliest times to the
present, with emphasis on Libya's colonial past, the pivotal
significance of Libya's oil resources, the character of the Gaddafi
revolution, and the consequent impact on relations with the United
States.
Social movements throughout the world have been central to history,
politics, society, and culture. Observing Protest from a Place
examines the impact of one such campaign, the global justice
movement, as seen from the southern hemisphere. Drawing upon a
collective survey from the 2011 World Social Forum in Dakar, the
essays explore a number of vital issues, including the
methodological problems of studying international activist
gatherings and how scholars can overcome those challenges. By
demonstrating the importance of the global justice movement and the
role of nongovernmental organizations for participants in the
southern hemisphere, this volume is an important addition to the
literature on community action.
