I'm hesitant to recommend Mark Duffield's book because it is fairly dense and slow-going. But if you have the willpower and the time, it's undoubtedly worth it, especially the first half (and if you're interested in goings-on in Sudan, also the last half). Duffield takes on the project of attempting to articulate and critique the new configurations and apparatuses of power being brought together by NGOs, IGOs (inter-governmental organizations), corporations, states, and new forms of 'legitimate' force and authority, including paramilitaries and for-hire military contractors. All these come together to form what Duffield calls 'the complex of global liberal governance,' aiming to create 'liberal peace,' by which he means a certain level of 'stability' and 'development' as outlined by U.S. and European government/aid agency policy. Some of the main results of liberal peace include the blurring of traditional government, military, and civilian lines, as well as of the distinction between times of war and times of 'peace'. Duffield certainly levels criticism at all of this, but he focuses his critique on the policy of aid agencies, for numerous reasons: their inability to see themselves as part of a political complex, both in their home country and in the country of operation, rather than as some entity merely in-putting economic wealth; their movement to a consequentialist ethics, focused on outcomes rather than actions, effectively approving and normalising violence, if a greater gain can be had from it; and a general inability to divorce themselves from military discourse, evidenced by facts such as that 'development' agencies now speak in terms of 'security,' and aim not so much to help people as to create a certain level of economic stability to prevent 'outright' war, ignoring other social needs and injustices. He demonstrates some of how this happens through a case study of Sudan (he was a lead director for an NGO working in Sudan for a number of years before beginning his research), showing the inability of aid agencies through nearly 20 years of work to actually effectively help the Dinka people. I'm still trying to sort out the sheer amount of information that I received from this book; I can sort of feel it altering my conception of the world, a drop at a time, as it seeps through. It's a little sad that I have absolutely no will to re-read it because it took me so long to slog through it the first time. Maybe some day...

Yes ... I read another book tied to As the World Turns. It all starts at one of the biggest events of the year. The hospital is hosting a major gala to recognize a local famil for many, many years of financial support. The Marron family is one of the wealthiest in America, but they have nothing on the rest of the people in Oakdale. It really becomes clear when Gregory Marron, Jr arrives, not-so-fashionably late. When he goes to step out of his limo, he ends up collapsing. He is dead of poisoning, and their is no shortage of possible suspects as it turns out that Gregory had no shortage of enemies. Katie Peretti, the event's planner, worries about the possible involvement of her boyfriend Mike Kasnoff. While few would question his integrity, he seems to have some sort of secret tying him to the Marrons, and whatever it is, it involves bad blood. Maddie Coleman worries her brother might be involved. He was Gregory's limo driver, and his fingerprints have turned up on the wine bottle that contained the poison. He also owed the Marrons a ton of money. Carly Snyder has a bad feeling about her husband Detective Jack Snyder. She had a romantic past with Gregory, and he got into a fight that included less than polite comments about her reputation with her husband about it. Could Jack have done something to make sure that Gregory didn't spread the word around? It would not have been the first time he broke the law to protect her. Then there is Gregory's family. There seems to be no lack of dislike among him, his father, his wife, and his stepdaughter. The Oakdale police, under Jack's leadership are on the case, but Katie, Maddie, and Carly feel like they will have to put their differences aside and get down to the root of things in order to protect the men in their lives. As with the last book I reviewed relating to the show, this book really does a great job capturing the feel for all the characters. It is also a pretty good mystery, too.
