| 520 | |a Part of a special issue on war, crisis, and transition. The writer explores the challenges relating to toxic waste disposal and the global character of some forms of “resolving” this problem. He presents a case study of a toxic event that occurred in August 2006 in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, which is reverberating legally and politically within the West African nation and in Europe, the U.K., and Jamaica. The writer describes the toxic waste dumping event, the reaction of “responsible” parties, and the aftermath of the event. He identifies multiple players, diverse interests, and conflicting purposes underpinning toxic waste disposal, and he highlights the importance of the internationalization and globalization of the problem in understanding how such events as the dumping in Abidjan occurred. | ||
