Introduction -- the new development-security terrain -- The merging of development and security -- Strategic complexes and global governance -- The new humanitarianism -- Global governance and the causes of conflict -- The growth of transborder shadow economies -- Non-liberal political complexes and the new wars -- Internal displacement and the new humanitarianism: displacement and complicity in Sudan (Part 1) -- Aid and social subjugation: displacement and complicity in Sudan (Part 2) -- Conclusion: global governance, moral responsibility and complexity- internal displacement and the new humanitarianism.
Summary: In this hugely influential book, originally published in 2001 but just as- if not more- relevant today, Mark Duffield shows how war has become an integral component of development discourse. Aid agencies have become increasingly involved in humanitarian assistance, conflict resolution and the social reconstruction of war- torn societies. Duffield explores the consequences of this growing merger of development and security, unravelling the nature of the new wars and the response of the international community, in particular the new systems of global governance that are emerging as a result. An essential work for anyone studying, interested in, or working in development or international security. -- Back cover.
