The destruction of indigenous, tribal peoples in remote and/or frontier regions of the developing world is often assumed to be the outcome of inexorable, even inevitable forces of progress. People are not so much killed, they become extinct. Terms such as ethnocide, cultural genocide or developmental genocide suggest a distinct form of "off the map" elimination. By concentrating on a little-known case study, that of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh, this article argues that this sort of categorisation is misplaced. The relationship between a flawed state power and genocide can be located. (DSE/DÜI)

Experience shows that it is hard for some poor countries to attain the Millennium Development Goals without addressing the challenges of security and governance. The nexus between armed conflict, fragile states, and the lack of progress on the MDGs is an emerging regional trend in West Africa. At least half the states in the subregion are either in post-conflict recovery or greatly weakened by creeping or endemic crisis situations. This article discusses the challenges faced by the MDGs via the impact of small arms and light weapons proliferation and subsequent regional security programs and it looks at the new phase in efforts to address regional insecurity in order to promote development.
