Paper short abstract:

This study intends to show an anthropological perspective toward the post-globalization era with the ethnographic case study on internally displaced persons (IDPs) in East African Pastoral Societies. The IDPs has created the minute local flow of democratic power, reciprocal distribution, and local peace building effort with ICT against the national neglect to the reckless global flow of corrupted power, smuggling of weapons, and overheating media. I believe those practices of the IDPs have much implications on the anthropological perspective toward the post-globalization era.

Paper long abstract:

In this paper, the post-globalization era can be defined as the period when marginalized communities face the negative impact of neoliberal globalization after the end of ideologies of neoliberalism. The ethnic group A have been devastated by the conflict since 2004 caused by the negative impact of globalization: identity politics of corrupted politician, smuggling of weapons, and unregulated ICT. The death toll amounts to 564 according to my research. However, the conflicts and the IDPs have been ignored both from national and international agencies. Therefore, the IDPs were forced to confront the negative effect of globalization without national and international protection. They constructed the "clustered settlements" as the basis of the local security and mutual aids that work as a "breakwater" to the global reckless flow. The IDPs has created the minute local flow of democratic power, reciprocal distribution, and local peace building effort with ICTs. I believe those practices of the IDPs have much implications on the anthropological perspective toward the post-globalization era.
