Global Governance and the New Wars: The Merging of Development and Security

This book explores the growing merger of development and security. War is now an important part of development discourse, and Mark Duffield unravels the nature of the new wars in Africa, the Balkans, Central Asia. He looks at the response of the international community and emerging systems of global governance. He also examines the breakdown of order, as fragmented sovereignties confront an increasingly weakened central authority in which humanitarian intervention co-exists with instability and inequality.
