Afro-Asian Conflcits : Changing Contours, Costs & Consequences

The issues of conflict and peace are of immense relevance in the post-cold war scenario, which has witnessed an unprecedented rise in violent conflicts locally with global ramifications.

Whether it is Asia or Africa or other continents, the conflicts have been protracted with horrendous consequences.

This volume looks at some of the conflicts in Asia and Africa, commonly referred to as the third world, and their political and humanitarian dimensions.

It aims at exploring causes and changing contours of these conflicts with focus on costs and consequences.

By emphasising on these twin aspects, this volume brings into forefront victimisation of common people caught in conflict situations.

The subject of conflict being one of the focal areas in international politics, the book would be of interest to a vast readership globally.

It would be helpful to researchers, international, governmental as well as non-governmental organisations and policy makers dealing with issues related to conflict, peace, displacement and human rights.
