Taylor & Francis Ltd Humanitarian Negotiations with Armed Groups
Book SynopsisHumanitarians operate on the frontlines of today's armed conflicts, where they regularly negotiate to provide assistance and to protect vulnerable civilians. This book explores this unique and under-researched field of humanitarian negotiation. It details the challenges faced by humanitarians negotiating with armed groups in Yemen, Myanmar, and elsewhere, arguing that humanitarians typically negotiate from a position of weakness. It also explores some of the tactics and strategies they use to overcome this power asymmetry to reach more favorable agreements.The author applies these findings to broader negotiation scholarship and investigates the implications of this research for the field and practice of humanitarianism. This book also demonstrates how non-state actors both humanitarians and armed groups have become increasingly potent diplomatic actors. It challenges traditional state-centric approaches to diplomacy and argues that non-state actors constitute an increasinglTable of ContentsIntroduction: Negotiating on the Frontlines 1.

Taylor & Francis The Soviet Union and National Liberation
Book SynopsisThe Soviet Union and National Liberation Movements in the Third World (1988) is a systematic comparison of Soviet theory about, and actual behaviour toward, movements for national liberation in the Third World. In this definitive study, Professor Golan demonstrates that Soviet behaviour toward such movements is consistent with Soviet theory as stated in the writings and speeches of high-level influential within the Party, military and academic communities. In so doing, she advances our understanding of the ârules of thumbâ that Soviet leaders appeared to follow in deciding whether and how to assist the varied types of âanti-imperialistâ and separatist movements in the developing world. The first part of the book provides a detailed analysis of the various schools of thought among Soviet writers concerning different aspects of national liberation movements, and the second part analyses actual Soviet behaviour toward numerous movements around the world.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Conventional Military Strategy in the Third
Book SynopsisThis volume delves into the way conventional deterrence operates between nuclear-armed states in the third nuclear age. Unlike the first and second ages the advent of this new age has witnessed greater strain on the principles of mutual vulnerability and survivability that may result in increased risks of advertent or inadvertent escalation and horizontal nuclear proliferation.The book looks at the sum of three key simultaneous developments in the third nuclear age that merit attention. These include the emergence of asymmetric strategies, the introduction of unmanned platforms and the expansion of nuclear arsenals. The volume discusses how these concurrent developments might shape the practice of conventional deterrence and provides useful insights into conventional military dynamics, not just among the current nuclear dyads but also ones that may emerge in future. It seeks answers to several key issues in state security not limited to:What purpose and scope doesTable of ContentsIntroduction. 1. Conventional Military Purpose in the Third Nuclear Age 2. From Kill Chain to Kill Web 3. Unmanned Systems in Conventional Forces 4. Offense-Defence Integration and Nuclear Ambiguity: Effect on Conventional Stability. Conclusion

Taylor & Francis Ltd Climate Change Conflict and InSecurity
Book SynopsisThis book offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how climate change is impacting conflicts, contention, and competition in the world.The volume examines how climate change is creating and exacerbating insecurities for millions of people globally, and how states, inter-governmental bodies, and others are attempting to meet challenges today and in the near and medium term. It shows that climate change insecurity is relevant to a battery of security areas, including warfighting, stabilisation, human security, influence, and resilience and capacity building. The volume provides insights into how climate change has and will impact security at different scales and in different localities, including national and ethnic tensions, food and water security, resource competition, mass displacement, and even the recruitment profiles and operations of violent and extremist organisations. With contributions from pioneering researchers and practitioners, the book discusses shifting operatTrade Review'The book completes its mission to show that climate change is a driver of conflict, an obstacle to conflict resolution, and a creator of strategic shocks, tensions, opportunities, and risks… A must read for anyone interested in defence, security, or climate change.'General Tom Middendorp, International Military Council on Climate & Security (former Chief of Defence of The Netherlands)'Climate change is the single most significant long-term defence issue.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Dispossession
Book SynopsisThis volume examines Russia's war on Ukraine. Scholars who have lived through the Russian invasion or who have conducted ethnographic research in the region for decades provide timely analysis of a war that will leave a lasting mark on the twenty-first century.Using the concept of dispossession, this volume showcases some of the novel ways violence operates in the Russian-Ukrainian war and the multiple means by which civilians, within the conflict zone and beyond, have become active participants in the war effort. Anthropological perspectives on war provide on-the-ground insight, historically informed analysis, and theoretical engagement to depict the experiences of dispossession by war and the motivations that drive the responses of the dispossessed. Such perspectives humanize the victims even as they depict the very inhumanity of war.Dispossession is geared towards upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, and the general reader who seeks to hTable of ContentsIntroduction: War and dispossession; Part I: Experiencing loss through dispossession and displacement; 1.The time that was taken from us: Temporal experiences after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine - Natalia Otrishchenko; 2.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Battlefield Coalitions
Book SynopsisThis book improves our understanding of battlefield coalitions, providing novel theoretical and empirical insight into their nature and capabilities, as well as the military and political consequences of their combat operations. The volume provides the first dataset of battlefield coalitions, uses primary sources to understand how non-state actors of varying types form such groupings, reports interviews with policymakers illuminating North Atlantic Treaty Organization operations, and uses cases studies of various wars waged throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries to understand how other such collectives have operated. Part I introduces battlefield coalitions as an object of study, demonstrating how they are distinct from other wartime collectives. Using a novel dataset of actors fighting in 492 battles during interstate wars waged between 1900 and 2003, it provides, for the first time, a comprehensive portrait of the universe of battlefield coalitionsTrade Review'Many wars are fought by alliances and coalitions, yet we have very little systematic study of how such groupings fight together on the battlefield. Cappella Zielinski and Grauer amass a terrific team of analysts to ask and answer important questions about how wartime cooperation works or fails on the ground.'Stephen Saideman, Carleton University, Canada'Understanding Battlefield Coalitionsis an impressive effort to consider the political and operational challenges of an increasingly common aspect of war-fighting.

Taylor & Francis Sexualised Crimes Armed Conflict and the Law
Book SynopsisFrom ancient to modern times, sexualised war violence against women was tolerated if not encouraged as a means of reward, propaganda, humiliation, and terror. This was and is in defiance of international laws that have criminalised acts of sexualised war violence since the 18th century. Ad hoc international tribunals have addressed especially war rape since the 15th century. The International Criminal Court (ICC), however, is the first independent, permanent, international criminal court that recognises not only war rape but also sexual slavery and other sexualised crimes as crimes against humanity, war crimes, and acts of genocide in its statute and supporting documents.This book explores how the ICC definitions of rape and forced marriage came about, and addresses the ongoing challenge of how to define war rape and forced marriage in times of armed conflict in a way that adequately reflects womenâs experiences, as well as the nature of the crimes. In addition to deepTable of Contents1. Introduction2. Theories and Methods3. Theories and Legislative Histories of War Wape and Forced Marriage4.

The second section tackles important cross-cutting themes, such as technology, religion, the economy, refugees and migration, and the role of civil society, examining how these issues contribute to international conflicts and how they can be leveraged to help address such conflicts. Each chapter includes a brief historical overvieTrade Review'The editors have come up with a solid text that will prove useful for undergraduates and graduates alike. Its well-known contributors provide insight on a wide range of subjects, and the inclusion of nonviolent civil resistance as a key component of the field sets this text apart from many others.

The volume will be a must-read text for students and also a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners. '--Julie M. Norman, University College London (UCL), UK'Understanding International Conflict Management is essential reading for anyone interested in the practical utility of peace and conflict studies. It is theoretically sophisticated and introduces readers to the fundamentals of negotiation theory, resistance studies, and long term peacebuilding, justice and reconciliatory processes. It does all of this while focusing a conflict management lens on critical 21st century issues such as social media for the public good, gender based conflict, refugees and migration and the biggest existential dilemma of all climate change and conflict. I heartily endorse it for everyone interested in peaceful social change and transformation.'--Kevin P Clements, National Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Otago, New Zealand'Understanding International Conflict Management provides an exhaustive overview of international conflict management mechanisms ranging from negotiations to peacekeeping to transitional justice.

Taylor & Francis Military Neuroscience and the Coming Age of
Book SynopsisKrishnan describes military applications of neuroscience research and emerging neurotechnology with relevance to the conduct of armed conflict and law enforcement. This work builds upon literature by scholars such as Moreno and Giordano and fills an existing gap, not only in terms of reviewing available and future neurotechnologies and relevant applications, but by discussing how the military pursuit of these technologies fits into the overall strategic context. The first to sketch future neurowarfare by looking at its potentials as well as its inherent limitations, this book's main theme is how military neuroscience will enhance and possibly transform both classical psychological operations and cyber warfare. Its core argument is that nonlethal strategies and tactics could become central to warfare in the first half of the twenty-first century. This creates both humanitarian opportunities in making war less bloody and burdensome as well as some unprecedented threats and dangers in terTable of ContentsTable of Contents:1 Introduction 2 Cold War Brain Research and Germ Warfare 3 Neuroscientific Enhancement 4 Intelligence and Prediction 5 The Degradation Technologies I 6 The Degradation Technologies II 7 The Strategic Context 8 Neurowarfare 9 Dangers and Solutions

Book SynopsisPakistan's nuclear arsenal the fastest growing in the world raises concerns on many grounds. Although far from the scale of the Cold War, South Asia is experiencing a strategic arms race. And the more weapons there are, the more potential for theft, sabotage and nuclear terrorism. Worries that Pakistan's nuclear-weapons technology might again be transferred to nuclear aspirants have not been expunged. Being outside the nuclear club makes it harder to ensure nuclear safety. Of gravest concern is the potential for a nuclear war, triggered by another large-scale terrorist attack in India with Pakistani state fingerprints as in the 2008 Mumbai atrocity, this time followed by an Indian Army reprisal. Lowering the nuclear threshold, Pakistan has vowed to deter this with newly introduced battlefield nuclear weapons.

Featuring contributions from some of the world's premier researchers and practitioners in the field of naval strategy and security, this handbook covers naval security issues in diverse regions of the world, from the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean to the Arctic and the piracy-prone waters off East Africa's coast.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Ties that Divide
Book SynopsisThis book explores the historical relationship between China and Japan, and how this has exacerbated their dispute over the Senkaku/ Diaoyu Islands in the East China Sea. There are three paradoxes in the bilateral relationship â complex interdependence does not preclude the possibility of open conflict; cool-headed assessments are quickly being overtaken by nationalism and a proclivity for irrational behaviour and lastly, both countries have invested so much resources in claiming the islands, such that they have neglected the costs of conflict. These paradoxes in turn stem from two fundamental issues â differing interpretations of historical issues and the intractability of China and Japanâs positions on the island dispute. It is argued that a festering dispute over the islands â and even conflict â would undermine security in the Asia Pacific and disrupt trade in the worldâs most economically vibrant market. Therefore, it behoves China and Japan to work out mutually-acceptable arraTable of ContentsAcknowledgements -- Glossary -- Events at a glance -- Introduction -- Chapter One The historical context -- Two millennia of relations -- The modem period -- The politics of economic interdependence -- The burdens of history -- Saving face -- Chapter Two The Senkaku /Diaoyu dispute -- Histories and controversies -- The 'shelving' agreement -- Competing claims -- Chinese salami slicing -- Chapter Three Perceptions, postures and instability -- Action-reaction dynamics -- The erosion of stability -- Potential stabilisers -- Conclusion -- Tackling the causes -- Treating the symptoms -- The art of the possible -- Tables and maps -- Index.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Researching the Military
Book SynopsisResearching the Military focuses on the experiences of researchers who study the military around the world. It explores the historical, social, institutional and personal factors that frame research and scrutinize the way knowledge in this area impacts society and policy. More than merely analyzing research experiences (yet necessarily including them), it is also about the experiences of researchers, their position with regard to the object of their studies, the institutional context where they work and the way their research impacts the academic and policy-making fields in the respective countries. The common theme to the various chapters is reflexivity, a conscious effort at addressing the conditions of research and the position of the researcher and the research participants in that interface. By collecting diverse experiences of researchers from across the world, this volume aims to enhance reflexivity in the field of military studies and to encourage the exchangTrade Review'Summing Up: Recommended.

Taylor & Francis Ltd High G Flight
Book SynopsisThis book provides a unique, authoritative and detailed examination of the physiological and clinical consequences of human exposure to high G forces. Pilots of military fast jets, civilian aerobatic pilots and astronauts during the launch and re-entry phases of spaceflight are frequently and repetitively exposed to high G forces, for which the human body is not fundamentally designed. The book examines not only the nature of the high G environment, but the physiological effects of exposure to high G on the various systems of the human body. In particular, the susceptibility of the human cardiovascular system to high G is considered in detail, since G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (G-LOC) is a serious hazard for high G pilots. Additionally, the factors that influence tolerance to G and the emerging scientific evidence of physiological adaptation to high G are examined, as are the various countermeasures and techniques that have been developed over the years to protect pilots from the pTrade Review’This is the book we have all been waiting for. Dr Newman has skilfully provided a unified understanding of the current state of knowledge on human exposure to high G forces. Clearly written, the reader is taken from basic physics, through the mechanics of flight exposure, to current methods of G protection. Highly recommended.’ Michael Bagshaw, King’s College London and Cranfield University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword, Lieutenant General (Dr) Thomas W. Travis; Preface.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Burden of Collective Goodwill: The
Book SynopsisThe book is the first to discuss in detail the extensive external involvement in the Liberian civil war, a war that claimed up to 200,000 lives, created a massive refuge crisis and brought West Africa to the tribunal of international attention. The book is conceived against the background that the international response to the conflict has features that are unprecedented in the management of civil conflicts in the post-cold war era. For example, the regional peacekeeping mission was the first after the end of the cold war, while the dispatch of UN Observer mission was the first ever joint peacekeeping mission between the UN and a regional organisation. The extensive involvement of international organisations in the conflict has not been witnessed in the region since the Biafran war of 1967-1970.Trade Review’...a fascinating study which illuminates our understanding of the failed state and the role of external actors in coping with its implications. The author’s pioneering study is a model of scholarly endeavour providing a host of valuable insights, based on extensive fieldwork in difficult circumstances.’ Professor J.E. Spence, Royal Institute of International Affairs, UK ’...this new study helps to fill gap in our understanding of the international involvement in the Liberian conflict, the forces that shaped it and the degree of success in the outcome. The author argues that the extensive international response (mainly West African ECOMG forces) offers important lessons for the management of complex emergencies in Africa.’ African Book Centre ’...this unprecedented case...is therefore particularly welcome and represents the first attempt to assess the international involvement in the entire civil war. he deals competently and painstakingly with the tortuous peacemaking process...’ International AffairsTable of ContentsContents: State failure, international intervention and the collapse of the Liberian state; The politics and economics of the Liberian civil war; Regional involvement in the Liberian conflict: ECOWAS and ECOMOG in Liberia; The United Nations and the Liberian conflict; Allies as rivals: ECOMOG and UNOMIL in Liberia; Non-governmental organizations and the Liberian emergency; Whither the Godfather? the United States and the Liberian civil war; The international community and post-conflict Liberia.
