  • Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability an Exploration Into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1St Edition)
    Human Security and Mutual Vulnerability An Exploration into the Global Political Economy of Development and Underdevelopment (1st edition) by Jorge Nef IDRC 1995, 110 pp., ISBN 0-88936-795-7 Jorge Nef responds to one of the most pressing intellectual challenges of the post-Cold War era: the search for an analytical framework that will help us understand this turbulent and chaotic period in human history. His lucid and visionary analysis rests on the concept of mutual vulnerability: that in an increasingly interdependent world, global security is only as strong as the weakest link in the chain. The Author Jorge Nef, PhD, is currently professor of political studies and international development at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada. He has been a visiting professor both in Canadian and foreign universities and institutes and is a past president of the Canadian Association of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CALACS). Professor Nef is a Fellow of the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) and the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS), both at York University. In addition, he is currently the Editor of the Canadian Joumal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies. His numerous publications, including books, journal articles, and book chapters, deal with development issues, food security, terrorism, ethics and technology, comparative public administration, authoritarian regimes, social theory, international relations and Latin American politics. Professor Nef has worked as a consultant or cooperant with various national and international agencies in the field of international development (UN- PAHO, CIDA, and IDRC). He also represented IDRC as Canadian delegate to the Expert Groups of the South Commission in Geneva in 1989.
