The post-Cold War era was characterised by both the recurrence of state wars and the spread of forms of organised violence other than wars. Asymmetric warfare between alliances led by the USA and groups of insurgents, such as those witnessed in Afghanistan and Iraq, coexist alongside domestic conflicts, such as that of former Yugoslavia and, more recently, Libya and Syria; and still other conflicts involving gangs, mafias or narco-traffickers. The massive military-industrial complexes conceived in the context of the threat of nuclear Armageddon are still there of course, but they now coexist with irregular armies of insurgents carrying out massacres through the use of light weapons and improvised explosives devices. This book oppose the idea that this situation prefigures the return to an anarchical, pre-political condition, by assuming that new wars are rather the product of the blurring of the public-private divide, induced by the end of the Cold War, together with globalisation. As a consequence, also the internal and external factors are blurred; and ever more permeable and elusive is becoming even the border between war and crime. Inside War goes beyond a state-centered analysis and adopts an interdisciplinary and multilayered approach, and is intended to foster the dialogue among researchers from different fields. It places war at the core of analysis, assuming that the reality of war is what we make of it; and that the only insurmountable limit to our comprehension of war is our way of knowing and representing it. Fabio Armao teaches courses in Politics and Globalisation Processes, and Criminal Systems. He has been Visiting Professor at Cornell University, and co-convenor of the Standing Group on Organized Crime, European Consortium for Political Research. Founding member of T.wai (Torino World Affair Institute), he is also member of the Editorial Board of 'Global Crime'. His research interests and publications focus on international wars and geopolitics, on violent non-state actors and transnational organised crime, and on urban security.

"Why have the struggles of the African Diaspora so resonated with South Pacific people? How have Maori, Pasifika and Pakeha activists incorporated the ideologies of the African diaspora into their struggle against colonial rule and racism, and their pursuit of social justice? This book challenges predominant understandings of the historical linkages that make up the (post- )colonial world. The author goes beyond both the domination of the Atlantic viewpoint, and the correctives now being offered by South Pacific and Indian Ocean studies, to look at how the Atlantic ecumene is refracted in and has influenced the Pacific ecumene. The book is empirically rich, using extensive interviews, participation and archival work and focusing on the politics of Black Power and the Rastafari faith. It is also theoretically sophisticated, offering an innovative hermeneutical critique of post-colonial and subaltern studies. The Black Pacific is essential reading for students and scholars of Politics, International Relations, History and Anthropology interested in anti-colonial struggles, anti-racism and the quests for equality, justice, freedom and self-determination"--Back cover.

L'Arabie du sud et l'Ethiopie - au sens le plus large - ont entretenu, du début, du premier millénaire avant J.-C. jusqu'au milieu du premier millénaire après, des relations régulières. Si elles ont connu des périodes plus intenses, notamment au temps des royaumes de Himyar et d'Axoum, les échanges commerciaux et les mouvements de population (agriculteurs, artisans et tailleurs de pierre) ont relié les deux rives de la mer Rouge sans discontinuité. Notre propos, qui s'inscrit dans cette perspective, se limite à l'architecture et aux techniques de construction. Toutefois, les questions de chronologie, de langues et de cultures, fournissant la trame de cette histoire croisée, ne sont pas écartées. L'ouvrage, conçu sous la forme d'un manuel français-anglais, tend à fournir un répertoire aussi systématique que possible des matériaux, des techniques de construction, des éléments architecturaux, des types de bâtiments (fortifications, temples, maisons, palais, etc.) et de leur conception. Il insiste tant sur les emprunts et les similitudes que sur les spécificités de chaque région car l'Ethiopie et l'Arabie du Sud se présentent comme deux mondes isolés par périodes l'un de l'autre.
