  • CONFLICT BAROMETER 2008 Crises - Wars - Coups D’Etat´ Negotiations - Mediations - Peace Settlements
    HEIDELBERG INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT RESEARCH at the Department of Political Science, University of Heidelberg CONFLICT BAROMETER 2008 Crises - Wars - Coups d’Etat´ Negotiations - Mediations - Peace Settlements 17th ANNUAL CONFLICT ANALYSIS HIIK The HEIDELBERG INSTITUTE FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT RESEARCH (HIIK) at the Department of Political Science, University of Heidelberg is a registered non-profit association. It is dedicated to research, evaluation and doc- umentation of intra- and interstate political conflicts. The HIIK evolved from the research project ’COSIMO’ (Conflict Simulation Model) led by Prof. Dr. Frank R. Pfetsch (University of Heidelberg) and financed by the German Research Association (DFG) in 1991. Conflict We define conflicts as the clashing of interests (positional differences) over national values of some duration and mag- nitude between at least two parties (organized groups, states, groups of states, organizations) that are determined to pursue their interests and achieve their goals. Conflict items Territory Secession Decolonization Autonomy System/ideology National power Regional predominance International power Resources Others Conflict intensities State of Intensity Level of Name of Definition violence group intensity intensity 1 Latent A positional difference over definable values of national meaning is considered conflict to be a latent conflict if demands are articulated by one of the parties and per- ceived by the other as such. Non-violent Low 2 Manifest A manifest conflict includes the use of measures that are located in the stage conflict preliminary to violent force. This includes for example verbal pressure, threat- ening explicitly with violence, or the imposition of economic sanctions. Medium 3 Crisis A crisis is a tense situation in which at least one of the parties uses violent force in sporadic incidents.

  • Project Implementation by Indian Companies in Africa
    PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION BY INDIAN COMPANIES IN AFRICA PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION BY INDIAN COMPANIES IN AFRICA From the Director General's Desk The relationship between India and Africa has withstood the test of time, with historical bonds that are being continuously strengthened on an economic, political and people-to-people level. The large Indian community that has made Africa their home have contributed immensely to the growth and development of businesses in the continent, especially in the East and Southern African region. Africa has been called the land of unlimited opportunities and despite attracting investors from all corners of the world, there is still much left to explore in the continent. It is the second largest continent in size, as well as the second most populous region in the world. In fact, Africa is home to the world’s ten youngest populations, as per United Nations data. The continent has large amounts of natural resources and vast expanses of arable land. Therefore, it is only natural that all eyes would be on Africa. India is a powerhouse that shares the desire for growth and development with Africa. It has imbibed the spirit of ‘South-South cooperation’ and is constantly expanding its partnership with the continent. ‘India Inc.’ has left its footprint in a majority of sectors in Africa. However, like the unsung hero, not much is known outside the areas where these projects have been executed. It is with this background that CII brings to you a special compendium on ‘Project Implementation by Indian companies in Africa’ on the occasion of the 13th CII-Exim Bank Conclave on India Africa Project Partnership, New Delhi, India.

Siroky Department of Political Science Duke University Date: Approved: Dr. Donald L. Horowitz, Supervisor Dr. David L. Banks Dr. Alexander B. Downes Dr. Bruce W. Jentleson Dr. Erik Wibbels An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2009 Copyright c 2009 by David S. Siroky All rights reserved Abstract Secession is a watershed event not only for the new state that is created and the old state that is dissolved, but also for neighboring states, proximate ethno-political groups and major powers. This project examines the problem of violent secession- ist conflict and addresses an important debate at the intersection of comparative and international politics about the conditions under which secession is a peaceful solution to ethnic conflict. It demonstrates that secession is rarely a solution to ethnic conflict, does not assure the protection of remaining minorities and produces new forms of violence. To explain why some secessions produce peace, while others generate violence, the project develops a theoretical model of the conditions that produce internally coherent, stable and peaceful post-secessionist states rather than recursive secession (i.e., secession from a new secessionist state) or interstate dis- putes between the rump and secessionist state.
