Endgame in the Western Sahara: What Future for Africa's Last Colony

History

Africa

For a remote strip of Saharan desert along the Atlantic seaboard, the Western Sahara has begun to attract a lot of attention. The European Union, the USA, the UN and Morocco have all declared an interest in this former Spanish colony, not to mention the indigenous Sahraoui people, who have fought for self-determination for over quarter of a century. Toby Shelley has talked to Moroccan, Western Saharan Polisario and other diplomats, as well as contacts in the oil industry. He has visited the territory and had access to both the Moroccan administration and the underground opposition. What emerges is that there is now a real prospect of a definitive resolution to this long-running, often bloody, conflict between Morocco and the Sahraoui people.

This informative survey of the global oil and gas industry covers both its changes and its continuities. The reader is introduced to what is happening in both producer and consumer states, to governments and corporations, to current trends and likely future developments. Fundamental questions are asked: notably who benefits? Why is the economic development record of so many oil exporting states so abysmal? How does oil extraction exacerbate ethnic and regional tensions in the world? What are the human rights and environmental issues involved? Above all, what future for fossil fuels as our climate changes? This account is vital reading for anyone wanting to understand the impact of oil and gas on our world today.

This book explains the fast moving world of the new nanotechnology and who controls it, ranging from medical, energy, computing, and even military interests. It explores the potential consequences--the upsides as well as the downsides - for individuals, the environment, and relations between the powers. Nanotechnology could bridge or widen the gap between developing and industrialised countries - that is a political decision that civil society must address.

Exploited: Migrant Labour in the New Global Economy

This book by a respected Financial Times journalist exposes the enormos scale of contemporary slavery. From cleaning to construction, from agriculture to domestic work, every day migrant laborers are exploited and enslaved. Shelley shows that current unprecedented flows of migrant workers are a direct result of economic liberalization. The appalling conditions and legal abuses which confront these workers are not a pre-modern aberration, but an integral part of the global economy. Shelley argues that even governments, keen to protect big business, are complicit in this exploitation; their "law and order" approach on immigration being part of this complicity.
