Beschreibung

"Artificial Borders Conflicts" examines how artificially imposed borders, often drawn by colonial powers with little regard for existing populations, continue to fuel conflict and instability worldwide. The book argues these borders aren't just lines; they actively shape political landscapes. It's crucial to understand the history of imperialism, such as the scramble for Africa, to understand the contemporary geopolitical landscape. These borders often disrupt social structures and exacerbate inter-group tensions, directly causing conflict. The book explores the historical context of artificial border creation, the socio-political ramifications for affected populations, and the long-term impact on international relations.

Beginning with a theoretical framework for border studies, the book progresses chronologically and thematically, analyzing specific cases across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Consider the Sykes-Picot Agreement, where arbitrary lines redrew the Middle East, impacting current conflicts. The book analyzes potential solutions and strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of these borders.

Through historical records, treaties, maps, demographic data, and case studies, the book demonstrates the impact of artificial borders. Readers will gain insights into the underlying causes of ongoing conflicts and critically evaluate policy proposals related to border management, conflict resolution, and international development. The book also addresses debates surrounding sovereignty, self-determination, and the legacy of colonialism.

The Wagner Group - Yevgeny...

Owen Wilson

Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.
