Crises of Governance in Asia and Africa (The International Political Economy of New Regionalisms)

Given the changes in international divisions of labour and power associated with globalization, this text investigates relations between ethnicity and governance in Asia and Africa. This set of case studies compares and contrasts issues arising from the impact of the changing political economy on ethnicity and the effects of ethnic group politics and forms and practises of governance. The broad political economy approach to analysis extends the debates on ethnicity and governance beyond traditional and orthodox treatments, aiming to make the volume an invaluable tool for research.
