Institute
This book, with contributions in both English and French, is a product of collaborative research between the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD, France), the University of Ghana, Legon and CODESRIA. It examines various economic, social and environmental challenges of urbanization that critically affect the capital of Ghana, which has experienced high demographic growth and territorial expansion. The study analyses the Greater Accra city dwellers residential practices, and focuses on two main factors influencing land and rental markets. On the one hand, it interrogates the constraints and dynamics of urban families, their needs and gender characteristics in terms of accommodation. On the other hand, it explores the opportunities and interests in investment on the part of land owners and real estate developers. At these two levels of describing the social and spatial discriminations, the book attempts to explain the difficult choices that this fragmented city faces. It emphasizes the role of mobility in structuring the metropolitan area, and the negative impact of lack of mobility which results in some households and communities suffering more than others. Light is thrown on diagnostics and prospects in the matter of urban planning.

Die Meteor Expedition M70 erforscht spezielle Tiefenwasserökosysteme am Meeresboden von submarinen Bergen und den Kontinentalrändern des zentralen und östlichen Mittelmeers. Im Rahmen des EU Projekts HERMES werden bathyale Korallenökosysteme im westlichen Tyrrhenischen Meer, dem Ionischen Meer sowie der südlichen Adria untersucht (Fahrtabschnitt M 70/1 unter Leitung Prof. Dr. A. Freiwald). Anschließend werden erst kürzlich entdeckte Ökosysteme an Methanquellen des tiefen Nilfächers in einer gemeinsamen Aktivität des ESF EUROCORES-Projekts MEDIFLUX und des deutschen Geotechnologien-Projekts MUMM II erforscht (Fahrtabschnitt M 70/2 unter Leitung Prof Dr. A. Boetius). Schließlich stehen Prozesse von submarinen Fluidzirkulation an Gas- und Fluidaustritten vor Israel und an den "Anaximander Seebergen" südlich der Türkeiküste im Fordergrund der Forschung (Fahrtabschnitt M70/3 unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. G. Bohrmann). Die Reise wird am 24.09.2006 in La Valetta (Malta) beginnen und am 09.12.2006 in Limassol (Zypern) enden.

This book explores the emergent character of social orders in Sudan and South Sudan. It provides vivid insights into multitudes of ordering practices and their complex negotiation. Recurring patterns of exclusion and ongoing struggles to reconfigure disadvantaged positions are investigated as are shifting borders, changing alliances and relationships with land and language. The book takes a careful and close look at institutional arrangements that shape everyday life in the Sudans, probing how social forms have persisted or changed. It proposes reading the post-colonial history of the Sudans as a continuous struggle to find institutional orders valid for all citizens. The separation of Sudan and South Sudan in 2011 has not solved this dilemma. Exclusionary and exploitative practices endure and inhibit the rule of law, distributive justice, political participation and functioning infrastructure. Analyses of historical records and recent ethnographic data assembled here show that orders do not result directly from intended courses of action, planning and orchestration but from contingently emerging patterns. The studies included look beyond dominant elites caught in violent fights for powers, cycles of civil war and fragile peace agreements to explore a broad range of social formations, some of which may have the potential to glue people and things together in peaceful co-existence, while others give way to new violence.
