Between the tide of identity politics, with its incapacity to address global issues, and the vicissitudes of abstract universalism, Kapoor and Zalloua develop a powerful case for a reinvention of universality that does justice to radical philosophical thought and to the invigoration of the politics of solidarity. * Mladen Dolar, University of Ljubljana, The European Graduate School *\u003cbr\u003eUniversal Politics by Ilan Kapoor and Zahi Zalloua comes at a moment that could not have been more timely—when the world seems to be exploding with particularisms and when capital appears as the only universal.

But what strategies have worked to build lasting peace in conflict zones, particularly for ordinary citizens on the ground? And why should other ordinary citizens, thousands of miles away, care? In The Frontlines of Peace, Séverine Autesserre, award-winning researcher and peacebuilder, examines the well-intentioned but inherently flawed peace industry. With examples drawn from across the globe, she reveals that peace can grow in the most unlikely circumstances. Contrary to what most politicians preach, building peace doesn''t require billions in aid or massive international interventions. Real, lasting peace requires giving power to local citizens.Now including teaching and book club discussion guides, The Frontlines of Peace tells the stories of the ordinary yet extraordinary individuals and organizations that are confronting violence in their communities effectively. One thing is clear: successful examples of peacebuilding around the world, in countries at war or at peace, have involved innovative grassroots initiatives led by local people, at times supported by foreigners, often employing methods shunned by the international elite. By narrating success stories of this kind, Autesserre shows the radical changes we must take in our approach if we hope to build lasting peace around us--whether we live in Congo, the United States, or elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving worked as an international aid worker in 12 different conflict zones, Autesserre, through her memoir and reporting, lays down a compelling account advocating for the need for grassroots initiatives for peacebuilding. The book comes as another addition to the authorâs extensive work addressing the failure of international interventions in building sustainable peace. * India Quarterly  *\u003cbr\u003e[Autesserre] offers a crucial contribution to the growing body of literature which seeks to challenge the common assumptions, narratives, methodologies and strategies that have dominated the aid and peacemaking industry thus far. ... [The book] provides a great introductory insight into the world of peacebuilding, both theoretically, in terms of both mainstream and critical strategies and discourses, and practically, in terms of working with (or rather to ameliorate) international peacebuilding organizations. * The International Spectator *\u003cbr\u003eAutesserre's contrast of Peace, Inc., with local, creative initiatives that can build peace (in the United States as well as around the globe) offers a clear picture of two very different approaches, and it provides a compelling argument for why ordinary people can have outsized effects on violence. * African Conflict \u0026amp; Peacebuilding Review *\u003cbr\u003eAutesserre's book provides some fascinating insights into how localised peace approaches can work, and some of the paths that have not worked. The book represents an excellent introduction for students, as well as an important step forward in providing greater clarity around localized peace for both academics and peacebuilders. * The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding *\u003cbr\u003eAutesserre is the rare breed of academic who writes with passion, clarity, and a storyteller's eye for detail... she brings to the table nuance, rigor, passion, and firsthand knowledge, having previously cut her teeth as a peacebuilder herself... her contribution to this discussion, given the enormity of the stakes, is a much needed one. The UN is in dire need of critics like Autesserre—thoughtful observers to assess its shortcomings and hold it accountable. This is a bone worth picking. * Lionel Beehner, Political Science Quarterly  *\u003cbr\u003eSéverine Autesserre has persistently made noteworthy and invaluable contributions to the literature on peacebuilding and conflict management, and The Frontlines of Peace is no exception to this trend... Séverine Autesserre has provided her readers with a roadmap for changing the world of peacebuilding; such change, however, will take time, as well as willingness and collaboration from both insiders and outsiders engaging in conflict management withinconflict zones. * Sven Botha, South African Journal of International Affairs *\u003cbr\u003e...the book is worth mining for serious scholars of peacekeeping. * Paul F. Diehl, International Peacekeeping *\u003cbr\u003eFor anyone who really cares about improving the work of this flawed but still all too necessary field, Autesserreâs book makes for essential and uncomfortable reading. * Gordon Peake, Devpolicy Blog *\u003cbr\u003eSeverine Autesserre's The Frontlines of Peace is a story above anything else. It is a story that encompasses other mini-stories from different areas in the world that have suffered different kinds of conflict and violence... While providing well-thought but yet simply structured answers... Autesserre's book also contains her witty and sharp sense of humor... What makes this page-turner even more worth reading is the fact that Severine Autesserre not only criticizes what doesn't work, but she also gives readers and practitioners great examples of what works. * Shadi Rouhshahbaz, Peacemaker 360 *\u003cbr\u003eA fascinating book. * Colette Braeckman, Le Soir *\u003cbr\u003eSeverine Autesserre tells the story of ordinary women and men who manage to reduce violence in their communities every day, whether in the Congo, Colombia, or the United States. It's a captivating and inspiring story that invites readers to act. I hope it will encourage you to get more involved in the fight against violence and impunity, and to build peace at home and for our common humanity. * Denis Mukwege, 2018 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate *\u003cbr\u003ePeace is possible but difficult. No one is omniscient about what turns swords into ploughshares, and it's essential that we always question our assumptions, learn from experience, and listen to experts who know both the big ideas and the facts on the ground. The Frontlines of Peace offers new insights into one of humanity's most noble endeavors. * Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature and Enlightenment Now *\u003cbr\u003eSeverine Autesserre combines a scholar's rigor and an activist's passion. With authority gained from hard experience, she shows how true peace must be built from the ground up and the inside out. A world in flames should heed her message. * Gideon Rose, Editor, Foreign Affairs *\u003cbr\u003ePeacebuilding rests on the courage and wisdom of those people closest to conflict, and we must invest in them in ways that dignify their work and commitment. Severine Autesserre's book makes clear how to do this. The Frontlines of Peace is a must-read. * John Paul Lederach, Professor Emeritus of International Peacebuilding, University of Notre Dame *\u003cbr\u003eIn this remarkable book, Severine Autesserre draws on decades of experience in conflict zones and offices of international organizations to show how meaningful peace depends on local peacebuilding initiatives. Building on her inspiring and sometimes heart-breaking encounters with local activists about their work to address violence, redress suffering, and manage emergent conflict, it offers compelling recommendations for how to effectively support the necessary work of activists on the ground. * Elisabeth Jean Wood, Crosby Professor of the Human Environment, Yale University *\u003cbr\u003eNot just another book about international politics. It will change the way you see the world around you. * Leymah Gbowee, 2011 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate   *\u003cbr\u003eA seamless blend of autobiography, research reports from zones of peace, and Auteserre's scholarly discussion of how peacebuilding actually works in places that have suffered from violent conflict, The Frontlines of Peace will reward specialists, students, and general readers. * Ronald Edsforth, Peace \u0026amp; Change *\u003cbr\u003e[A] fascinating and insightful book. * Dr Anurug Chakma, Australian Outlook *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword    Preface: War, Hope, and Peace    PART I: PEACE POSSIBLE    Chapter 1: Island of Peace    Chapter 2: Role Models    PART II: PEACE, INC.

In the wake of the whistle-blower Edward Snowden''s revelations about the extent of surveillance conducted by the security services in the United States, Britain, and elsewhere, concerns about individual privacy have significantly increased. The Internet generates risks, unimagined even twenty years ago, to the security and integrity of information in all its forms. The manner in which information is collected, stored, exchanged, and used has changed forever; and with it, the character of the threats to individual privacy. The scale of accessible private data generated by the phenomenal growth of blogs, social media, and other contrivances of our information age pose disturbing threats to our privacy. And the hunger for gossip continues to fuel sensationalist media that frequently degrade the notion of a private domain to which we reasonably lay claim.In the new edition of this Very Short Introduction, Raymond Wacks looks at all aspects of privacy to include numerous recent changes, and considers how this fundamental value might be reconciled with competing interests such as security and freedom of expression.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

A native of the former Soviet Union, he lived as an exchange student in North Korea in the 1980s. He has studied it for his entire career, using his fluency in Korean and personal contacts to build a rich, nuanced understanding. In The Real North Korea, Lankov substitutes cold, clear analysis for the overheated rhetoric surrounding this opaque police state. After providing an accessible history of the nation, he turns his focus to what North Korea is, what its leadership thinks, and how its people cope with living in such an oppressive and poor place. He argues that North Korea is not irrational, and nothing shows this better than its continuing survival against all odds. A living political fossil, it clings to existence in the face of limited resources and a zombie economy, manipulating great powers despite its weakness. Its leaders are not ideological zealots or madmen, but perhaps the best practitioners of Machiavellian politics that can be found in the modern world. Even though they preside over a failed state, they have successfully used diplomacy-including nuclear threats-to extract support from other nations. But while the people in charge have been ruthless and successful in holding on to power, Lankov goes on to argue that this cannot continue forever, since the old system is slowly falling apart. In the long run, with or without reform, the regime is unsustainable. Lankov contends that reforms, if attempted, will trigger a dramatic implosion of the regime. They will not prolong its existence.Based on vast expertise, this book reveals how average North Koreans live, how their leaders rule, and how both survive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn his accessible and refreshingly fair-minded new book, Andrei Lankov does a fine job of making sense of the worlds most inscrutable state. ...
