When The Walking Defeats You
Deep in the Congo’s Garamba National Park in the dead of night, Joseph Kony – the notorious warlord wanted by the International Criminal Court – made a shocking admission. Loosened by home-made wine, exposing a vulnerability he could never show the world, Kony looked George Omona in the eye, ‘You need to know that if I had a choice I would not be doing this ... I wish I could be a man of books, like you.’ Three years earlier George was expelled from one of Uganda’s best schools, just weeks before he was due to graduate with exemplary grades, destroying his dreams of becoming a teacher. In desperation, his uncle found him a role in Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). George’s education and fluent command of English allowed him to rapidly rise through the ranks, eventually becoming one of Kony’s bodyguards, before he finally made his escape. George’s story – based on many hours of interviews with acknowledged LRA expert Ledio Cakaj – provides a vivid, personal and fascinating insight into the inner workings of the LRA, and the mind of Kony, its self-appointed prophet.
Drivers of Integration and Regionalism in Europe and Asia
This book examines the drivers of regionalism and integration in both Europe and Asia and seeks to forge comparative perspectives between the two regions. Comprising contributions from scholars, analysts and policymakers, this volume explores and debates how and why regional bodies such as the European Union (EU) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) are formed and sustained. Furthermore, it examines the drivers of, and impediments to, regionalism and integration. The debates regarding what and who constitute drivers are presented in a fresh, thematic and comprehensive manner. Leadership and core states are also critically examined, whilst material, ideational and normative factors are all assessed comparatively. Significantly, in light of the global financial crisis, the book considers the role of crisis as a driver of regionalism and integration. This book will be of interest to students, scholars and policymakers interested in Asian and European politics and comparative politics.
À mots couverts
A mi-chemin entre récit de voyage et évocation historique, cet ouvrage se réfère aux cinq années que George Orwell a passées comme policier en Birmanie, et aux écrits que ce séjour peut lui avoir inspirés. Si Une histoire birmane évoque de manière évidente le pays qu'Orwell a connu, deux autres de ses oeuvres majeures semblent caractériser la Birmanie actuelle. La ferme des animaux et, surtout, 1984, frappent aujourd'hui par leur aspect visionnaire : la Birmanie des généraux, au dire même des Birmans, endure au quotidien les situations cauchemardesques imaginées voici plus d'un demi-siècle par le romancier britannique. Emma Larkin parcourt les lieux où Orwell a vécu; elle...
Madagascar
Madagascar appartient encore aux desti nations à l’abri du tourisme de masse. Restée longtemps dans l’ombre, conséquence d’une politique en pleine mutation, ses infra structures touristiques sont modestes, par endroits quasi inexistantes. Et c’est presque tant mieux, car la Grande Ile ne se consomme pas. Elle se vit, se découvre et s’explore au rythme lent de ses habitants, de ses pirogues à balancier et de ses pistes bourbeuses. Mais l’exubérance de sa forêt tropicale ou la sérénité tout asia tique de ses rizières en terrasses ne doivent pas tromper. Mena cée de déforestation, l’île est devenue une priorité des organi sations de protection de la nature afin de préserver, entre autres, l’extra ordinaire diversité de sa faune et de sa flore. Demeurée secrète, Madagascar saura vous séduire. Le sourire, la gentillesse et l’authenticité des Malgaches ne s’achètent pas, et leur goût de la fête vous comblera.
