Book excerpt: War, genocide, and foreign occupation have taken their toll on Cambodia. These events have demolished infrastructure, overturned ruling parties, and led to the deaths of millions. Although these events are now past, many of the resulting ramifications still linger. One such remnant of the past are the landmines--abundant in number and pervasive in their propagation, landmine-related contamination continues to impact lives more than 30 years after the last war effort.The residual ordnance problem in Cambodia is being confronted by a team of well-intentioned, motivated, and hardworking professionals. Current efforts, however, do not consider, account for, or target economic vulnerabilities that individuals and family structures encounter. This study analyzes the relationship between economic vulnerability and landmine-related incidents. Specific accountability for vulnerability is given in terms of poverty assessment, agricultural vulnerability, and the relationship between the price of metal and tampering-specific behavior.This book provides the first and only comprehensive historical account of landmine-related contamination in Cambodia. This historical account contextualizes the magnitude, origin, and impact of ordnance in Cambodia by analyzing each of the ordnance contributing factions. In addition to providing an historical analysis of landmine-related contamination, this book assesses various types of vulnerability in conjunction with landmine-related incidents. More precisely, poverty, agricultural vulnerability, and the price of metal are all examined separately in accordance with landmine-related accidents and tampering rates.The author Wade Roberts presents research that has enabled the first-ever analysis to take place testing the response of tampering behavior to changing metal prices at the Cambodia-Thailand border. This book also provides a unique approach to the landmine problem, bringing in and comparing various socioeconomic variables of poverty and economic need. Measures of poverty that prove statistically significant in predicting landmine-related incidents include levels of single parenting, the use of firewood for cooking, migration proportions, population densities, male-female sex-ratios, and with low levels of formal education. Critical agricultural measures that are statistically correlated to landmine-related incidents include net rice output, the supply of water, rice yields, crop diversification, floods and droughts, and nonrice agricultural production. The statistical analysis of the price of metal reveals that tampering responds directly, and more than proportionately, to a change in the price of scrap metal. Suggested policy recommendations follow each of these analyses.Given the rich combination of quantitative and qualitative data coupled with the practical recommendations delineated, this book will be of immense value to scholars in poverty management studies, policy studies, and sociology.

Book excerpt: War of the Mines is the first illustrated study of the impact of landmine warfare on communities in Cambodia. After several visits to the country, Davies and Dunlop have meticulously documented the history of landmine warfare in a country where, it is estimated, there are more landmines than there are people. This book focuses on one particular district, Rattanak Mondul in Battambang province - the region which has had one of the highest concentrations of landmines. Through hard-hitting, yet unsensational, photographs and the personal accounts of landmine victims and military personnel, War of the Mines offers a powerful description of the horrors of landmine warfare.

Download or read book After the Guns Fall Silent written by Shawn Roberts and published by Oxfam. This book was released on 1995-01-01 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Years after peace treaties have been signed and military conflict is nominally over, anti-personnel mines continue to claim innocent lives. This text offers data showing that landmines victimize civilians in direct contravention of the Geneva convention and examines the impact landmines have on people, on their communities and on their outlook and view of life. The report, commissioned by the VVAF, examines the consequences of landmine use on post-conflict reconstruction and development, on refugee movement and resettlement and on the environment. It also investigates mine clearance and mine awareness and medical, rehabilitative and psychological costs. Using original research, the report uses case studies from countries including Angola, Mozambique, Cambodia and the former Yugoslavia. Scholarly and accurate analysis combines with people's own words and real personal stories to present a detailed evaluation of the effect of this most potent of weapons. This work is published by the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation and distributed in the UK and Ireland by Oxfam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the rate that government and nongovernmental organizations are clearing existing landmines, it will take 450-500 years to rid the world of them. Concerned about the slow pace of demining, the Office of Science and Technology asked RAND to assess potential innovative technologies being explored and to project what funding would be required to foster the development of the more promising ones. The authors of this report suggest that the federal government undertake a research and development effort to develop a multisensor mine detection system over the next five to eight years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Masterfully researched . . . destined to become a classic study of one of the most horrific weapons ever utilized during the Civil War—landmines.” —Jonathan A. Noyalas, director, Shenandoah University’s McCormick Civil War Institute Despite all that has been published on the American Civil War, one aspect that has never received the in-depth attention it deserves is the widespread use of landmines across the Confederacy. These “infernal devices” dealt death and injury in nearly every Confederate state and influenced the course of the war. Kenneth R. Rutherford rectifies this oversight with America’s Buried History: Landmines in the Civil War, the first book devoted to a comprehensive analysis and history of the fascinating and important topic. Modern landmines were used for the first time in history on a widespread basis during the Civil War when the Confederacy, in desperate need of an innovative technology to overcome significant deficits in material and manpower, employed them. The first American to die from a victim-activated landmine was on the Virginia Peninsula in early 1862 during the siege of Yorktown. Their use set off explosive debates inside the Confederate government and within the ranks of the army over the ethics of using “weapons that wait.” As Confederate fortunes dimmed, leveraging low-cost weapons like landmines became acceptable and even desirable. Dr. Rutherford, who is known worldwide for his work in the landmine discipline, and who himself lost his legs to a mine in Africa, has written an important contribution to the literature on one of the most fundamental, contentious, and significant modern conventional weapons. “A MUST for military history buffs! A thrilling and chilling read.” —His Royal Highness Prince Mired Raad Al-Hussein, UN Special Envoy for Landmine Prohibition Treaty
