Violent conflict within developing countries is the critical issue for the 21st century, causing hardship to millions and providing fertile soil for terrorists. This book offers the first major comparative study of the causes and consequences of conflict to integrate and address the issue of self-determination and globalization, revealing the complex and contradictory interaction between economic and cultural globalization. This unique study , carried out by an international team of scholars and based on original field research, makes an important contribution to the field of development and security at a time when international institutions, conflict prevention and external intervention are undergoing a critical phase of re-evaluation and transition. Comparative analyses of international conflict funding, the role of diaspora communities, and cultural and media influences are combined with major new case studies from critical regions. The authors make radical policy proposals to the international community on the means to prevent violent conflicts that arise in the context of movements for self-determination
