   Because of changes in some underlying factors, land is increasingly becoming a source of conflicts in Africa. We estimate the determinants of land conflicts and their impacts on input application in Kenya by using a recent survey of 899 rural households. We find that widows are about 13 percent more likely to experience pending land conflicts when their parcels are registered under the names of their deceased husbands than when titles are registered under their names.

The empirically basis of this paper is primarily derived from field work in Kibaale District, during the period January to July 2004.

   Abstract:
   Millions of people from Burma have migrated into neighboring countries over the past decade.
   Most have left their country in search of security and safety as a direct result of internal conflict
   and militarization, severe economic hardship and minority persecution. This exodus represents
   one of the largest migration flows in Southeast Asia.
   Fearing persecution, the vast majority of those migrating from Burma find themselves desperate
   to survive, obtaining work in underground and, often, illegal labor markets. The majority of those

   Abstract: This paper examines the securitization process of unauthorised migration in Thailand, in particular how the cross-border flows of marginalised minorities, the so-called 'hill tribes' came to be seen as an 'existential threat' to Thai national identity by the state. The paper aims to present a case of societal security by highlighting the importance of national identity. It intends to explore the reasons for portraying cross-border mobility of border minorities as existential threats to the integrity of the Thai state.

   Preserving Burmese traditions in Thailand...

   "In 1886 the British finally conquered Mandalay, the historic capital of the last independent Burmese kingdom. San Toe, a servant of the beleaguered King Thibaw and a devout Buddhist, fled the newly colonized city, bringing with him an image of the Buddha crafted by Mandalay artisans. He worked in the logging business as an employee of the Bombay Burma Trading Corporation before settling in the town of Mae Sariang in northern Thailand. There he built a Burmese monastery in 1909 to house his cherished Buddha image.

    In addition to greater international attention on their plight in exile, Thailand’s growing community of Burmese Muslims wants a voice in the political future of their country...
