The World Bank will soon be publishing its 2011 World Development Report, on “Conflict, Development, and Security.” If you want a preview of the thrust of the volume, check out theinteresting blog the Bank launched earlier this year to provide a window into the process of producing the report. (They’ve also got a Facebook page, if you’re into that sort of thing.)
In our new issue we feature Jessica Whyte’s piece on Just War, Decolonization and the Geneva Conventions. Also in this issue are essays on humanitarianism, postcolonialism and the fiction of Bessie Head, the international movement for Iranian political prisoners, Mexico’s contribution to International Economic Order, filming force feeding in Guantanamo, and a photo dossier on Asylum/Home. We end with a review essay on the humanitarian conscience.
