Accepted Paper:
Another Yugoslavia, another Malaysia: new global futures and impossibility of politics
Deborah Durham
Paper long abstract:
Doing research in Botswana, then later in Turkey, I was struck by the frequency with which people compared their countries' trajectory with that of other countries. This paper explores the sense of commensurability of national futures of decline, war, and political failure in contexts in which local effective political action seems impossible.
