Shaping markets through competition and economic regulation is at the heart of addressing the development challenges facing countries in southern Africa. The contributors to Competition Law and Economic Regulation: Addressing Market Power in southern Africa critically assess the efficacy of the competition and economic regulation frameworks, including the impact of a number of the regional competition authorities in a range of sectors throughout southern Africa. Featuring academics as well as practitioners in the field, the book addresses issues common to southern African countries, where markets are small and concentrated, with particularly high barriers to entry, and where the resources to enforce legislation against anti-competitive conduct are limited. What is needed, the contributors argue, is an understanding of competition and regional integration as part of an inclusive growth agenda for Africa. By examining competition and regulation in a single framework, and viewing this within the southern African experience, this volume adds new perspectives to the global competition literature. It is an essential reference tool and will be of great interest to policymakers and regulators, as well as the rapidly growing ecosystem of legal practitioners and economists engaged in the field.

The high ideals of anarchism have inspired generations of activists and political thinkers for over a century and a half, winning respect from even the fiercest of opponents. As the 'conscience of politics', anarchism's opposition to all forms of power and its emphasis on responsibility and self-determination has provided a constant benchmark for other areas of political philosophy and practice. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, with popular movements challenging the logic of globalisation, Western military imperialism and the assumptions of 'democratic' governments, anarchist theory and practice has once again made its presence felt. 'Changing anarchism' documents the links between these movements and contemporary anarchism and demonstrates how anarchist ideas are evolving in a global age. In particular, the book examines strands within anarchism concerned with technology, the environment and identity, and suggests that these are useful sociological tools for understanding the pervasive and interconnected nature of power. The contributors also offer practical insight into how power is being resisted in a variety of social and political contexts and how anarchist ideals are impacting on many different areas of everyday life. The balance of activist perspectives on anti-capitalism, sexuality, narcotics, education and mental health, combined with theoretical material drawn from post-structuralism, ecologism, the complexity sciences and social movement theory, ensures that Changing Anarchism will appeal to the general reader as well as to students of politics, sociology and cultural studies.

Accessible to non-specialists and researchers interested in ethnography, this volume offers an introduction into the uses of anthropology for engaging contemporary social issues. The editors’ essay surveys the development of anthropological research from its early exotic, non-Western focus to today’s debate over increasingly engaged approaches within a globalized society. The case studies utilize anthropology’s hallmark ethnographic methodology to address issues ranging from refugee reception and recognition to fair trade, intercultural education, and encounters with Gypsy populations.

What does 'anticapitalism' really mean for the politics and culture of the twenty-first century?Anticapitalism is an idea which, despite going global, remains rooted in the local, persisting as a loose collection of grassroots movements and actions. Anticapitalism needs to develop a coherent and cohering philosophy, something which cultural theory and the intellectual legacy of the New Left can help to provide, notably through the work of key radical thinkers, such as Ernesto Laclau, Stuart Hall, Antonio Negri, Gilles Deleuze and Judith Butler. Anticapitalism and Culture argues that there is a strong relationship between the radical tradition of cultural studies and the new political movements which try to resist corporate globalization. Indeed, the two need each other: whilst theory can shape and direct the huge diversity of anticapitalist activism, the energy and sheer political engagement of the anticapitalist movement can breathe new life into cultural studies.

Social movements throughout the world have been central to history, politics, society, and culture. Observing Protest from a Place examines the impact of one such campaign, the global justice movement, as seen from the southern hemisphere. Drawing upon a collective survey from the 2011 World Social Forum in Dakar, the contributions explore a number of vital issues, including the methodological problems of studying international activist gatherings and how scholars can overcome those challenges. By demonstrating the importance of the global justice movement and the role of non-governmental organizations for participants in the southern hemisphere, this volume is an important addition to the literature on community action.

Die Begriffe »links« und »nicht-antisemitisch« sind längst nicht mehr gleichzusetzen. Dies zeigt sich auch in Argumentationen von Teilen des globalisierungskritischen Akteurs Attac. Aber worin bestehen eigentlich die Verknüpfungen zwischen globalisierungskritischer Rhetorik und antisemitischen Narrativen? Und wie verhält sich Attac selbst zu dem Argument antisemitischer Affinitäten? Holger Knothe geht diesen Fragen nach und analysiert die Positionierungen von Attac zwischen universalistischem Anspruch einerseits sowie Erinnerungsabwehr und stereotypen Wahrnehmungen des Nahostkonfliktes andererseits. »Das Fazit dieses äußerst lesenswerten Buches macht still und weist auf die Möglichkeit antisemitischer Anschlussfähigkeit eigener Argumentation hin, der man nur durch wache Reflexion begegnen kann. Solange in Bewegungen wie ›Attac‹ dieser Umstand bewusst nicht wahrgenommen wird, legt die Analyse von Holger Knothe die Finger in die Wunden und kann als unwiderlegt gelten.« Wilhelm Schwendemann, www.socialnet.de, 31.12.2009 Besprochen in: Sozialismus, 4 (2010), Guido Speckmann

Plötzlich war sie mit ihren Zelten da: Die Occupy-Bewegung formierte sich 2011 scheinbar über Nacht, besetzte weltweit öffentliche Plätze und protestierte gegen Bankenmacht. Auch in Deutschland entstanden Occupy-Gruppen, die teils mehrmonatige Camps in den Stadtzentren errichteten. Von hier aus sollte sich ihr Protest entfalten - offen, basisdemokratisch, vielstimmig. Was bewegte die Aktivisten und wie blickten sie auf Politik, Staat und Gesellschaft? Wie organisierten sie sich? Und was könnte von Occupy bleiben? Anhand von Beobachtungen, Interviews und Diskussionsrunden mit Occupyern eröffnet Lars Geiges einen materialreichen Blick auf das junge und kaum erforschte Protestphänomen. »Das Buch liefert eine umfassende, seriös recherchierte und spannende Analyse der deutschen Occupy-Bewegung. Es ist damit ein wichtiges Zeitdokument und ein guter Beitrag zur Bewegungsforschung.« Ruth Simsa, www.socialnet.de, 14.09.2016 »Die Dissertation von Geiges [trägt] dazu bei, Occupy differenzierter zu sehen und weder auf bunte Bilder noch auf gewaltsame Ausschreitungen zu reduzieren. Und sie bietet Anschlusspunkte für die Protestforschung und die Erforschung sozialer Bewegungen.« Karin Urich, Soziale Bewegungen, 2 (2015) »Occupy ist nicht einfach ein linkes Projekt. Lars Geiges hat da für viel Aufklärung gesorgt.« Tilman Mayer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 01.09.2015 »Geiges' Untersuchungsergebnisse bieten einen gelungenen Einblick in die Denkweisen und Wertevorstellungen deutscher Occupy-Aktivisten.« Björn Allmendinger, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 12.02.2015 Besprochen in: www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 17.02.2015, Oliver Neumann Arbeit - Bewegung - Geschichte.

Das Label «Fair Trade» bezieht sich heute auf den Kleinbauern und seinen beschränkten Warenkorb an tropischen Rohstoffen. Dahinter steht jedoch die Reduktion einer komplexen makroökonomischen Debatte auf ein schriftloses Symbol. Dieses Buch zeigt auf, wie sich die Idee eines gerechten Nord-Süd-Handels in der Dritte-Welt-Bewegung ins Gegenteil verkehrte. In den 1960er Jahren forderten Aktivisten die Industrialisierung der Entwicklungsländer und eine Öffnung der westlichen Absatzmärkte für sämtliche Produkte aus dem Süden. Doch ab Mitte der 1970er Jahre brachte die Wachstumskritik eine Umkehr dieser Forderungen. Die lokale kleinbäuerliche Landwirtschaft gilt seither als Gegenentwurf zum grenzenlosen Wirtschaftswachstum. Ab den 1980er Jahren verkauften professionelle NGOs einer breiten Spenderbasis die Idee der Solidarität zwischen Kleinbauern im In- und Ausland. So ergab sich eine «unheilige Allianz» zwischen der grünen Fair-Trade-Bewegung und den konservativen Nationalisten, die nun als gemeinsame politische Schnittmenge den westlichen Agrarprotektionismus unterstützten. The focus of this study is on the role played by the Western third-world movement in the 1970s and 1980s. The African continent's share of total macroeconomic performance plummeted, and decades of lavish aid assistance payments ended up with Africa's ill-fated exclusion from world trade. How was it that instead of promoting trade, Africa was given foreign aid? Andrea Franc explores this question.
