Reordering the World: Geopolitical Perspectives on the Twenty-First Century
Geographic aspects of genocide: A comparison of Bosnia and Rwanda
The study of genocide requires a geographic approach that looks at how genocidal actions are purposefully planned to target specific groups and areas, methodically implemented through expulsions and murder, and politically intertwined with popular aspirations of territorial nationalism. A geographic focus is used here to discuss the concept of genocide, its recurrence in the twentieth century, its formulation under international law, and its erup…
Complex emergency response planning and coordination: Potential GIS applications
Complex emergencies continue to pose a significant challenge to the international community. Geographic information systems (GIS) offer those involved in planning for and responding to complex emergencies an analytically powerful information management tool for georeferenced data. The article discusses GIS‐based programmes in Kosovo, as well as potential applications for response coordination, rapid provision of basic needs and public security, p…

Forced Migration: Local Conflicts and International Dilemmas
Current patterns and trends in forced migration are increasingly a result of ethnic conflict, inequitable access to natural resources, declining living conditions, and chronic and pervasive human rights abuses. As a result of these overlapping causal factors and an international trend towards tighter immigration and asylum policies, many of those who have been forcibly uprooted, particularly those who remain within their country, are without adeq…

Long Time Coming: The Repatriation of Afghan Refugees
The return of several million Afghans, in the years following the complete Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan in February 1989, will be one of the largest refugee repatriations in history. Refugees are a unique category of international migrants, protected and assisted by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Afghan refugees, like those in other Third World regions, are caught in a complex and rapidly changing political and military …
Urbanization within the Indonesian economy: A policy dilemma
Intermediate Cities on a Resource Frontier
This study examines two intermediate-sized cities, located in East Kalimantan, a resource-rich province of Indonesia. Both cities experienced rapid economic and demographic growth during the 1970s as a result of resource extraction for an international market. The future of such cities depends on both the international market and internal governmental policies. THE focus of this study is two intermediate-sized cities that function within an inter…
