Global Security Fellows Initiative: An Annotated Bibliography

by
Dr. Jack Shepherd and Rebecca Eldredge


ABSTRACT

In 1993, the Global Security Fellows Initiative began analysing four significant transboundary forces impacting on the peace and security of peoples in regions undergoing rapid transformation: the environment, ethnic and sectarian conflict, economic dislocations and population/migration. As part of its research programme, GSFI teams and individual Fellows began publishing their analyses of these issues as GSFI Occasional Papers. This created a rich intellectual and public policy resource. The bibliographies from these papers were viewed as having value to others working in the same fields. Therefore, each GSFI Fellow contributed at least five significant references to this annotated bibliography. One purpose is to encourage others to follow these research paths and to widen and deepen the work. Another is, through this work, to broaden the scope of human discource and debate in Central and Eastern Europe and in Southern Africa during their transition to democracy.
