Firearms Seizures and Trafficking: a «Local» Phenomenon
Volume 1, Issue 1 Firearms Seizures and Trafficking: A «Local» Phenomenon NICHOLAS MARSH1 Abstract This article presents findings from the 2015 UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Study on firearms trafficking, which was based upon information collected from 48 governments. It outlines the methodology and sources used in the UNODC Study, and discusses their strengths and limitations. The UNODC Study is then located within three wider bodies of research on firearms trafficking. Three key findings from data reported by the states that took part in the Study are summarized. In those states firearms trafficking is mostly small scale and local – occurring across neighbouring borders or within regions. Trafficked firearms tend to be obtained by people engaged in other forms of criminal activity. In many states there is a marked lack of capacity to collect and analyse data on firearms trafficking. These findings suggest the need to re-evaluate how firearms trafficking is often perceived. Keywords Firearms, small arms, illicit, trafficking, United Nations, arms trade Introduction The illicit trade2in firearms, also referred to as ‘small arms’ and often combined in policy processes with light weapons, and their parts and ammunition, has been a key area of international concern since the late 1990s. For example, in a 2015 resolution the United Nations Security Council notes that it is: 1Nicholas Marsh is a Research Fellow at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO) where he runs a database project that tracks the illicit and licensed trade in small arms and light weapons. He has been the Chair of a European research network on small arms, a Consultant to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime and to the SmallArms Survey, and is a founder member of the Small Arms Data Observatory. -

The Fulla Doll, Identity, and Consumption in a Globalizing Arab World

For Ummi and Abbi: I love you both. ABSTRACT: This thesis uses the case study of the Arab-Islamic Fulla doll to examine the relationships among globalization, consumption and cultural identities. Beginning with the question of how cultural products like the Fulla doll come to exist, I argue that the Fulla doll serves as an example of the process of creolization whereby non-Western peoples mobilize local customs and beliefs to transform globally-distributted consumer goods, thus re-contextualizing and assigning new meanings to these goods. Through an analysis of thirteen animated Fulla doll advertisements, I argue that the Barbie doll’s ethnic, religious and gendered identity has been re-contextualized to transform her into an Arab-Muslim woman, the Fulla doll. -
