War, Peace and Progress in the 21st Century
The history of development has been marked by insecurity, violence and persistent conflict. It is not surprising therefore, that development is now thought of as one of the central challenges of world politics. However, its complexities are often overlooked in scholarly analysis and among policy practitioners, who tend to adopt a technocratic approach to the often violent character of the contemporary crisis of development.
This book brings together a wide range of contributions aimed at investigating different aspects of the development-security nexus in relation to the crisis of the nationstate and the crisis of global development. From environmental concerns to the legacies of armed conflicts during and after decolonization, the different chapters examine a range of issues related to the contradictory history and politics of progress and their relationship to war and peace.
The book offers a wide range of perspectives on development, domination, violence and resistance. At the same time it highlights alternative conceptual approaches to the challenges of war, peace and progress in the 21st century.
This book was published as a special issue of Third World Quarterly.

Thirdworlds
Edited by Shahid Qadir, University of London
THIRDWORLDS will focus on the political economy, development and cultures of those parts of the world that have experienced the most political, social, and economic upheaval, and which have faced the greatest challenges of the postcolonial world under globalisation: poverty, displacement and diaspora, environmental degradation, human and civil rights abuses, war, hunger, and disease.
THIRDWORLDS serves as a signifier of oppositional emerging economies and cultures ranging from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Middle East, and even those Souths within a larger perceived North, such as the U.S. South and Mediterranean Europe. The study of these otherwise disparate and discontinuous areas, known collectively as the Global South, demonstrates that as globalisation pervades the planet, the south, as a synonym for subalterity, also transcends geographical and ideological frontiers.
