 Throughout
the 1990s, a great deal of research was conducted on the military value of
landmines, the legal and moral arguments against their use, the technologies of demining, and the needs of survivors. Recently, attention has been given to the
mine ban movement as an example of transnational politics that brings together
North and South through state and non-governmental (NGO) and international
organizations. Working with the Landmine Survivors Network,
our research extends
the agenda by exploring the social and ecological impacts of landmines;
impacts which appear to be enormous. This work is of great value to policy
makers in mine infested countries as well as aid agencies and others groups
involved in the effort to rid the world of landmines.
A workshop
in May 2000 brought together senior government officials, directors of
leading NGOs, and scholars was held at UCI. A research program developed out
this workshop has resulted in an edited volume,
Landmines and Human Security:
International Politics and War's Hidden Legacy
published in 2004. A follow on workshop considering the lessons
of the volume and other topics relevant to "Landmines and Human Security"
was held at UCI in
April of 2004.
