This book provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of all the nationwide referendums since 1793. Referendums are ubiquitous and are increasingly becoming vehicles for political change – or sometimes vehicles of conservatism. In 2016, for example, the voters in the United Kingdom caused a major upheaval when they voted for leaving the European Union. Later in the same year, a majority of the voters in Colombia rejected a peace plan carefully negotiated by the political elites to end decades of civil war. Were these decisions prudent? Why were these issues submitted to referendums? Why did the majority of voters vote against the governments’ recommendations? Have ‘the people’ grown tired of the old political class? Was this a new tendency? These are some of the questions addressed in this new edition, which will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in or concerned about populism and democracy.

This book contributes an analysis of UK-based non-governmental organisations engaged in transnational lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) activism, within a broader recognition of the complexities that British colonial legacies perpetuate in contemporary international relations. From this analysis, the book suggests that greater engagement with intersectional and decolonial approaches to transnational activism would allow for a more transformative solidarity that challenges the broader impacts of coloniality on LGBT people’s lives globally. Case studies are used to explore UK actors’ participation in the complexities of contemporary transnational LGBT activism, including activist responses to developments in Brunei between 2014 and 2019, and the use of LGBT aid conditionality by Western governments. Activist engagements with legacies of British colonialism are also explored, including a focus on ‘sodomy laws’ and the Commonwealth, as well as the challenges faced by LGBT people seeking asylum in the UK. Matthew Farmer holds a PhD in International Relations from Lancaster University. He is currently working as an Independent Researcher based in Lancaster, UK.

Stephen Ellis beperkt zich in zijn boek niet tot een loutere beschrijving van het verloop van de Liberiaanse oorlog, maar hij gaat -vooral in het tweede deel van zijn betoog- ook op zoek naar verklaringen voor het gedrag van de strijdende partijen. Die verklaringen blijken voor een groot stuk terug te vinden in de religieuze en culturele repertoria die ooit het rurale Liberiaanse leven determineerden. Ellis acht de kans groot dat veel toekomstige conflicten in de Derde Wereld gekarakteriseerd zullen worden door de heropleving van religieus gedachtengoed.
