Another Year of Encouragement.Chuck Graham delights us with this
second edition of Notes of Encouragement - "real life" writings
providing inspiration, laughter, comfort and reflection to millions
around the world.
Spanning the period from the cold war to the 'war on terror',
examines the political economy dynamics of security and insecurity
on the continent, as well as its implications for political
actions. More than any other part of the globe, Africa has become
associated with conflict, insecurity and human rights atrocities.
In the popular imagination and the media, overpopulation,
environmental degradation and ethnic hatred dominate accounts of
African violence, while in academic and policy-making circles,
conflict and insecurity have also come to occupy centre stage, with
resource-hungry warlords and notions of 'greed' and 'grievance'
playing key explanatory roles. Since the attacks of 9/11, there has
also been mounting concern that the continent's so-called
'ungoverned spaces' will provide safe havens for terrorists intent
on destroying Western civilization. The Review of African Political
Economy has engaged extensively with issues of conflict and
security, both analysing on-going conflicts and often challenging
predominant modes of explanation and interpretation. This Review of
African Political Economy Reader provides a timely, comprehensive
and critical contribution to contemporary debates about conflict
and security on the continent. The first section, covers some of
the continent's main post-Cold War conflicts and demonstrates their
global connections. The articles also discuss the so-called
'resource curse', as well as the global arms trade, and reveal the
complexities of the relationship between the economic and the
political. The second section focuses on security as part of
post-Cold War global governance, and discusses the effects of
liberal peace-building as well as the link between development
assistance and the 'war on terror'. The final section examines life
as it continues in conditions of war and shows how insecurity
reconfigures urban space, transforms social order, identities and
authority. Rita Abrahamsen is Professor in the Graduate School of
Publicand International Affairs, University of Ottawa, Canada
