We apologize for the delay, and hope you agree with us that the results are well worth waiting for. This issue focuses specifically on reviewing violence research in the Global South; this is the part of the world worst affected by violence, least able to manage its manifestations and consequences, but also most neglected by research. Promoting the scientific study of the Global South, especially by researchers from or based there, has always been one of this journal’s priorities. So we are especially pleased to present a set of literature surveys that provide a picture of the findings to date and will hopefully serve as a valuable resource for further research: four geographical reviews covering the entire geographical sweep of LDCs and NICs from Manchuria to Cape Horn are complemented by thematic contributions on resources and conflict and on the regional diffusion of violence. Of the other four contributions in this issue, two fittingly originate from Brazil: an examination of the problems involved in interpreting crime statistics and a study of the effects of affirmative action on ethnic identity. But to show that our remit is truly global, we also have two pieces concerning Europe, on prejudice in Germany and ethnic stereotypes in Estonia. And now of course, we turn our full attention to preparing the next issue, with a focus section on youth and violence, to appear in the fall. July 2011 Wilhelm Heitmeyer Douglas S. Massey Steven F.

ISSN: 1864–1385 IJCV : Vol. 5 (1) 2011, pp. 4 – 12 Imbusch and Veit: The Nexus of Violence, Violence Research, and Development 5 The Nexus of Violence, Violence Research, and Development Introduction to the Focus Section Peter Imbusch, University of Wuppertal, Germany Alex Veit, University of Bremen, Germany This focus section of the International Journal of Conflict and Violence is dedicated to violence and violence research in the Global South. It examines the causes, forms, perpetrators, processes, and outcomes of violence. While the contributions go into detail on what is commonly understood as politically moti- vated violence, they also examine societal, criminal, urban, and gendered violence, as well as the involvement of youth. Four articles explore the significance of violence in specific regions: Africa south of the Sahara, West Asia and North Africa, East Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The authors describe and assess the state of research
