The Social Sciences at Brill
The Social Sciences at Brill are central to our mission of publishing superior scholarship that addresses the complex needs and struggles of the ever-changing political and cultural landscape of a globalized world.
Anchored in well-established critical and comparative publications, the Social Sciences at Brill are experiencing dynamic expansion and diversification by reason of our three core principles for achieving enduring growth in ways that are uniquely relevant to the 21st century: 1) social responsiveness; 2) multi-/inter-/transdisciplinarity; and 3) innovation and revitalization.

As in 2005, the Darfur crisis dominated domestic and foreign politics during 2006. Insecurity mounted in the east and southeast of Chad. The number of refugees continued to rise. Now included among them were refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR), where a fresh rebellion had broken out in the northeast, and from Chad itself, with masses of new IDPs feeling compelled to leave their homes in the affected areas in the east of the country. There were numerous battles between three rebel groups and the Chadian army culminating in a surprise attack by the ‘Front Uni pour le Changement Démocratique’ (FUCD) on N'Djaména, the Chadian capital, on 13 April. Domestic issues were dominated by the presidential elections on 3 May, which resulted in the re-election of Idriss Déby Itno. The conflict with the World Bank over the allocation of oil revenues ended in July with a Memorandum of Understanding specifying new conditions for spending oil revenues. Food security improved somewhat following a record harvest in both 2005 and 2006 and sustained emergency aid efforts by the international community in the east and south of the country.
