  • Mapping historical and contemporary agrarian transformations and capitalist infiltration in a complex upland environment

    Open AccessFraser Sugden, David Seddon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Agrarian Change2018Cited by: 9References: 28

    The relationship that mountain communities have with global capitalism are complex, being mediated by a diverse topography and ecology, both of which provide opportunities for capital accumulation, while also isolating older, "pre-capitalist" modes of production. This paper takes a case study valley from Nepal's eastern hills, tracing over two centuries of agrarian change and evolving interactions between "adivasi" and "semi-feudal" economic form…

    In Arabic al-Maghrib means "the west"; in the Arab world, it is divided from al-Mashriq (the Middle East) by Egypt; to the west of Algeria, it is Al Mamlaka al Maghribiya (the Kingdom of Morocco); while in Morocco, it is the Atlantic coastal plains. For some, the Maghrib is the region once referred to by Europeans as, "Barbary,"—the land of the Berbers. Others refer to it simply as North West Africa, comprising Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, t…

  • The Congo

    Dave Renton, David Renton et al.BOOKThe Congo2007Cited by: 17

    Since well before Henry Morgan Stanley's fabled encounter with David Livingstone on the shore on Lake Tanganyika in the late 19th century and his subsequent collaboration with King Leopold of Belgium in looting the country of its mineral wealth, the Congo's history has been one of collaboration by a minority with, and struggle by the majority against, Western intervention. Before the colonial period, there were military struggles against annexati…

  • Class & protest in Africa

    Open AccessDavid Seddon, Leo ZeiligARTICLEReview of African Political Economy2005Cited by: 14References: 27

    This article considers the relationship between working class struggle and popular protest in Africa over the last 40 years. We argue that the form and content of class relations which developed in the period of nationalist struggle and early ‘national development’ have been fundamentally restructured by the process of globalisation. From the late 1970s, a great wave of widespread popular protest and resistance was noted around the world, includi…

  • South Asian remittances

    David SeddonARTICLEContemporary South Asia2004Cited by: 10

    Remittances are increasingly identified as golden eggs that contribute crucially to the foreign exchange earnings of many developing countries across the world. While their global value may be around US$150–200 billion, remittances to South Asia alone total perhaps US$40–50 billion. This paper seeks to document the flow of remittances into this region in an attempt to reveal the complexity of the procedures associated with the informal internatio…

  • Foreign Labor Migration and the Remittance Economy of Nepal

    David Seddon, Jagannath Adhikari et al.ARTICLEBulletin of Concerned Asian…2002

    Official statistics seriously underestimate the number of Nepali migrant workers abroad and both the volume and value of remittances flowing back into Nepal from those workers. Original research by the authors suggests that many migrant workers abroad are working illegally and unofficially, and that the bulk of remittances also flow back into Nepal informally and illegally. The scale of remittances, consequently, is at least ten times greater tha…

    Finally, we must move towards true public engagement in the rules governing international trade. While we know that our governments are not going to listen to us because we have good arguments, but because we have political muscle, we must seek to create a global democracy in which governments would serve their citizens and honour their commitments on human rights and ecological stewardship. We must not sit silently by and allow these rights to b…

  • Britain and western sahara

    Open AccessDavid SeddonARTICLEReview of African Political Economy2000

    Over the last six months, the British Government has come under sustained pressure from MPs and Lords urging them to implement the UN Appeal Agreements. We estimate that a 100 MPs have written to the Government, either because of all the constituents' letters (your letters) or because they share the concerns of the Campaign. This shows how much concern there is in Parliament for the Saharawis

    Open AccessDavid SeddonARTICLEReview of African Political Economy1998

    Government sources explain this swinging cut in official development assistance ODA in terms of the need to restructure Japan's high deficit budget and reduce its very sizeable public debt. But there is more to it than that. The economic and financial crisis which has followed the bursting of the Japanese 'bubble' has been associated with increasing concern expressed regarding the high levels of overseas aid spending

Under terms of the contemplated agreement, DeBeers could develop its finds through a 50% stake in a joint venture with the DRC (holding 40%), MIBA (5%) and Sibeka, a Belgian mining company 20% owned by DeBeers (5%). However, such vast prospecting rights might not be legal under a proposed new draft mining code that currently would bar any individ…

  • DIV-Aids in Nepal

    David SeddonARTICLEBulletin of Concerned Asian…1998Cited by: 2References: 1

    The number of officially reported cases of HIV infection and of AIDS in Nepal remains low in comparison with numbers in many other Asian countries. But Nepal's open border with India (where HIV infection rates are rapidly rising) and the high level of physical mobility within Nepal and abroad, associated with widespread labor migration and encouraged by the recent development of road transport, means that there is a real danger of a rapid spread …
