      abstract = {This edited book is written by six authors from Asia and  Africa. The individual authors focus on their own country's  case or cases that they have been working on. The book  features local conflicts in six countries in Asia and  Africa and identifies how the local conflicts are affected  by the forces of globalization. Cases include Nigeria's  oil-related conflicts, the Democratic Republic of Congo's  timber conflicts, continuing instability in Mozanbique,  Thailand's conflict with regard to AIDS medicine, Myanmar's  local conflicts after its reforms, and the Afghanistan's  conflicts over minerals. From these diverse case studies,  the book examines how globalization and international  politics affect local politics and conflicts, and vice  versa. Even seemingly internal conflicts are shown to be  significantly influenced by globalization forces and to  create new dynamism in local politics. While there are  other books that explore globalization and conflicts, many  of them are conceptually organized with a small number of  case studies. The present volume examines local conflicts  in relation to globalization and demonstrates how  structural inequality vis-a-vis weak stateness and  statehood are significantly affected by global political  economy.--},
