Publisher's Synopsis
Given the changes in international divisions of labour and power associated with globalization, this text investigates the relations between ethnicity and governance in Asia and Africa. This set of original, carefully-edited case studies compares and contrasts issues arising from the impact of the changing political economy on ethnicity and the effects of ethnic group politics on economic growth and forms and practices of governance. - - The broad political economy approach to analysis extends the debates on ethnicity and governance well beyond traditional and orthodox treatments, making this volume not only a stimulating text, but also an invaluable tool for original and innovative research.
