Problematic from the very beginning, even its contemporaries saw the treaty as a mediocre compromise, creating a precarious order in Europe and abroad and destined to fall short of ensuring lasting peace. At the time, observers read the treaty through competing lenses: a desire for peace after five years of disastrous war, demands for vengeance against Germany, the uncertain future of colonialism, and, most alarmingly, the emerging threat of Bolshevism. A century after its signing, we can look back at how those developments evolved through the twentieth century, evaluating the treaty and its consequences with unprecedented depth of perspective.The author of several award-winning books, Michael S. Neiberg provides a lucid and authoritative account of the Treaty of Versailles, explaining the enormous challenges facing those who tried to put the world back together after the global destruction of the World War I. Rather than assessing winners and losers, this compelling book analyzes the many subtle factors that influenced the treaty and the dominant, at times ambiguous role of the Big Four leaders: Woodrow Wilson of the United States, David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio Emanuele Orlando of Italy, and Georges Clémenceau of France.The Treaty of Versailles was not solely responsible for the catastrophic war that crippled Europe and the world just two decades later, but it played a critical role. As Neiberg reminds us, to understand decolonization, World War II, the Cold War, and even the complex world we inhabit today, there is no better place to begin than with World War I and the treaty that tried, and perhaps failed, to end it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface    1.

When George W. Bush famously asked Why do they hate us?, the President echoed the confusion, anger and fear felt by millions of Americans, while also creating a politicized discourse that has come to characterize and obscure discussions of both phenomenon in the media.Since then the American public has lived through a number of domestic attacks and threats, and watched international terrorist attacks from afar on television sets and computer screens. The anxiety and misinformation surrounding terrorism and radicalization are perhaps best detected in questions that have continued to recur in the last decade: Are terrorists crazy?; Is there a profile of individuals likely to become terrorists?; Is it possible to prevent radicalization to terrorism? Fortunately, in the two decades since 9\/11, a significant body of research has emerged that can help provide definitive answers. As experts in the psychology of radicalization, Sophia Moskalenko and Clark McCauley propose twelve mechanisms that can move individuals, groups, and mass publics from political indifference to sympathy and support for terrorist violence. Radicalization to Terrorism: What Everyone Needs to Know synthesizes original and existing research to answer the questions raised after each new attack, including those committed by radicalized Americans. It offers a rigorously informed overview of the insight that will enable readers to see beyond the relentless new cycle to understand where terrorism comes from and how best to respond to it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.

Even today, both rivals continue to devote enormous resources to their military competition even as they face other pressing challenges at home and abroad. Why and when do rival states pursue conflict or cooperation? In The Difficult Politics of Peace, Christopher Clary provides a systematic examination of war-making and peace-building in the India-Pakistan rivalry from 1947 to the present. Drawing upon new evidence from recently declassified documents and policymaker interviews, the book traces India and Pakistan''s complex history to explain patterns in their enduring rivalry and argues that domestic politics have often overshadowed strategic interests. It shows that Pakistan''s dangerous civil-military relationship and India''s fractious coalition politics have frequently stymied leaders that attempted to build a more durable peace between the South Asian rivals. In so doing, Clary offers a revised understanding of the causes of war and peace that brings difficult and sometimes dangerous domestic politics to the forefront.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is written chronologically across eight chapters, spanning the creation of the partition in 1947 to the recent Modi and Khan leadership pairing...Clary's detailed focus on the impact of these factors throughout the entire history of the two nations makes this book a useful addition to any collection on South Asian conflict studies. * Choice *\u003cbr\u003eClary's provocative new theory to explain the oscillations in India-Pakistan ties between peacebuilding and warmaking is a remarkable contribution to the field of international relations. Grounded in the history, domestic politics and geopolitics of South Asia over the past seven decades, this forensic examination is bound to challenge conventional wisdom and traditional arguments about the subcontinent. * Sushant Singh, Senior Fellow, Centre for Policy Research \u0026amp; visiting lecturer, Yale University *\u003cbr\u003eBy focusing on domestic politics and developing a theory of leader primacy—how leaders control foreign policy authority—The Difficult Politics of Peace sheds new light on when rivalries are more peaceful, and when they are more conflictual. This book deserves to be widely read, for its illuminating, careful study of the India-Pakistan rivalry, and for its insights into the domestic politics of war and peace. * Elizabeth N. Saunders, School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University *\u003cbr\u003eTheoretically sophisticated and empirically rich, The Difficult Politics of Peace is an outstanding analysis of the long rivalry between India and Pakistan. This carefully and closely argued account challenges and revises much of the received wisdom on the sources of cooperation as well as conflict in the subcontinent. * Srinath Raghavan, author of Fierce Enigmas: A History of the United States in South Asia *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a spectacular book. It is empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated. Clary successfully debunks the age-old typification of the India-Pakistan rivalry as an 'unending' conflict. He clearly shows how and why leaders in both South Asian countries made choices about peace-making efforts, not just as a temporary measure between wars, but those with unique motivational characteristics. This excellent book will appeal to not only those interested in the history and politics of South Asia, but to any reader of war and peace in the modern world. * Rudra Chaudhuri, Director, Carnegie India *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Introduction  Chapter 1: Rivals, Leaders, and Change  Chapter 2: Partition, the First Kashmir War, and the Origins of the Rivalry  Chapter 3: War Scares and the Failure of Kashmir Talks, 1948-1954 Chapter 4: Nehru, Ayub, and the Indus Waters Treaty  Chapter 5: The Rise of Bhutto, Sino-Indian Conflict, and the Second Kashmir War  Chapter 6: Dhaka, Simla, and an Incomplete Peace  Chapter 7: Dictatorship, Democracy, and the Bomb in South Asia  Chapter 8: From Musharraf to Modi  Conclusion Index","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732664070487,"sku":"9780197638415","price":38.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197638415.jpg?v=1719997858"},{"product_id":"the-causes-of-war-and-the-spread-of-peace-9780198795025","title":"The Causes of War and the Spread of Peace","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAzar Gat sets out to resolve one of the age-old questions of human existence: why people fight and can they stop. Spanning warfare from prehistory to the 21st century, the book shows that, neither an irresistible drive nor a cultural invention, deadly violence and warfare have figured prominently in our behavioural toolkit since the dawn of our species. People have always alternated between cooperation, peaceful competition, and violence to attain evolution-shaped human desires. A marked shift in the balance between these options has occurred since the onset of the industrial age. Rather than modern war becoming more costly (it hasn''t), it is peace that has become more rewarding. Scrutinizing existing theories concerning the decline of war - such as the ''democratic peace'' and ''capitalist peace'' - Gat shows that they in fact partake of a broader Modernization Peace that has been growing since 1815. By now, war has disappeared within the world''s most developed areas. Finally, Gat explains why the Modernization Peace has been disrupted in the past, as during the two World Wars, and how challenges to it may still arise. They include claimants to alternative modernity - such as China and Russia - anti-modernists, and failed modernizers that may spawn terrorism, potentially unconventional. While the world has become more peaceful than ever before, there is still much to worry about in terms of security and no place for complacency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be a welcome addition to any military history or international relations syllabus lacking an accessible and thought-provoking text on the causes of war...

The book has advanced to a new level the debate about the role of political leadership in state-building and nation-building in Africa’s newest country and filling an important gap in the literature on South Sudan. It is part political history, part sociology and largely deep ethnography about how people live with and overcome daunting ravages of more than half a century of vicious and devastating Sudanese state violence, fratricidal violence, and politico-military rivalries between the leaders. Sonja Theron has demonstrated how challenging and yet important it is to define such terms as “leadership”, “political will” and “national identity” in their historical specificity and contingency. She convincingly argues that South Sudan is trapped between efforts to build a nation out of multitude of competing entities and the ambition by some groups, regions, and cultural identities to remain autonomous. The result is a brilliant expose of a long struggle for freedom that has now culminated in an independent state but being hamstrung by divisions that are rooted in that long history of conflict, violence and war. This book is a must read for anyone wishing to understand, not just this complex political and social history, but also the difficult question of whether South Sudan will survive as a viable nation. * Professor Jok Madut Jok, Syracuse University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important contribution to scholarly work seeking to understand why South Sudan has been unable to build a nation that sustains peace. It also makes for stark reading for those working on peacebuilding efforts in the country and beyond. Theron skilfully interrogates South Sudan’s chaotic and destructive leadership patterns and processes and how these have prevented any chance of peace. Her book untangles the complex realities of how nation and state-building efforts, whether in South Sudan or elsewhere are held hostage to the violent competing visions of a country’s political elites. Theron’s book comes at an opportune time in the arduous effort to secure a viable future for South Sudan after the painstakingly crafted 2018 peace agreement. Her insights are a reminder of what is at stake for this young country: if dangerously repetitive leadership patterns of relying on coercion, rewards and identity to create state and nationhood are not replaced with societal trust, mutuality, or collective responsibility – key ingredients for peacebuilding – fragmentation, violence and war will continue to mar the South Sudan’s progress. * Comfort Ero, President and CEO of Crisis Group *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction   \u003ci\u003ePART ONE: Origins: The Southern Sudan as People, Polity and “Problem” (c. 1821-1983)\u003c\/i\u003e     Conquest      and Colonisation  Independence      and Rebellion   \u003ci\u003ePART TWO: The War Continues: The Fight for Nation and State (1983 – 2002)\u003c\/i\u003e     War and New      Leadership  Inner      Turmoil   \u003ci\u003ePART THREE: Independence and Civil War: Building a State, Forgetting a Nation (2002 – 2015)\u003c\/i\u003e     Negotiating      and Implementing Peace  Freedom,      Fragility and Fragmentation     Conclusion","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48737164427607,"sku":"9780755622139","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780755622139.jpg?v=1723811021"},{"product_id":"peace-movements-in-islam-9780755643189","title":"Peace Movements in Islam","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJuan Cole\u003c\/b\u003e is a public intellectual, prominent blogger and essayist, and the Richard P.

From Afghanistan to Iraq, from Ukraine to South Sudan and Syria, from Kashmir to the West Bank, conflict is as contagious and poisonous as Japanese knotweed. Living through it are people just like us with ordinary jobs, ordinary pressures and ordinary lives.

In Kabul, the royal gardens are tended by a centenarian gardener, though the king is long gone; in Camp Bastion, bored soldiers improvise tiny gardens to give themselves a moment's peace; on both sides of the dividing line in Jerusalem families tend groves of olives and raise beautiful plants from the unforgiving, disputed landscape; in Ukraine, families tend their gardens in the middle of a surreal, frozen war.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWar Gardens\u003c\/i\u003e is a surprising, tragic and beautiful journey through the darkest places of the modern world, revealing the ways people make time and space for themselves and for nature even in the middle of destruction.

In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly adopted by consensus the norm-setting, forward-looking “Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace”. Governments, institutions, NGOs, other civil society entities and, in particular, individuals – all are encouraged therein to contribute to the global movement for the culture of peace.  Related to this vision, this rich and varied dialogue discusses how the culture of peace can be achieved in the world. Based on the extensive personal and professional experiences of two high-profile thinkers and activists, they analyse the challenges unfolding at local, national and global levels and how these relate to humanity’s quest for peace, human security and happiness. Although coming from very different positions – one a Buddhist philosopher, educator and leader; the other a UN diplomat renowned for his international work in peace, development and human rights – these interlocutors are united in their search for justice and better quality of life for all and their conviction that women and young people are the most effective means to achieving positive change in the world.  The dialogue provides ideas on the key challenges that face our planet: poverty and deprivation, war and violence, nuclear weapons and small arms, climate change and environmental degradation, weak governance and financial crises, marginalization of women and alienation of youth and the relentless drive for materialism. They also invite us to consider how the culture of peace can be practically achieved through an individual, collective and institutional transformation. Recognizing that global citizenship, multilateralism, women’s equality and value-creating education are central and inter-linked themes, this dialogue also underscores the inherent strength of spirituality, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, respect for diversity and empowerment that comes from the trials and tribulations of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Bangladesh Beginnings  2 The Struggle for Independence  3 Rabindranath Tagore, Poet of Humanity  4 Education of the Whole Person  5 Children’s Rights  6 A Constant Renewal of Strength  7 An Effective United Nations  8 The Congress of Humanity  9 To Protect the Vulnerable  10 Redefining Development  11 No Peace Without Women  12 The Road to Hope  13 The School of Life  14 Opening the Book of the World  Epilogue  Appendix 1.

As America prepares for conflict with Russia and China, wars continue in the Middle East and North Africa, tens of millions are exiled from their homes whilst many more face famine. But there is not only hope for change in the air, there is active resistance. People all over the world are challenging the status quo by taking nonviolent action. Voices for Peace features some of the world’s leading thinkers, journalists and activists, offering insight, inspiration and solutions to the world’s most critical problems: nuclear war, environmental destruction and refugee flows.   In the wealth of material presented here, Kathy Kelly talks about the Afghan Peace Volunteers and Standing Rock protesters in the USA, calling for global unity. Bruce K. Gagnon’s piece on space weapons discusses South Korean activists’ opposition to American weapons in their country. Brian Terrell challenges the legality of drone warfare and outlines the grassroots links being forged between US and Russian citizens. Noam Chomsky discusses US policies towards Russia and Syria, as well as South America, trade, ISIS and Ukraine. John Pilger talks about the Trump-Obama naval build-up around China and exposes Britain’s `deep state’ connections to the Manchester terror attack. Former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney analyses the Charlie Hebdo attacks and the deep state in recent US history. Ilan Pappé offers an exclusive analysis of Israel’s actions to ethnically cleanse Israel of Palestinians. Finally, Robin Ramsay exposes the unconditional support given to the USA by successive UK governments.

Volkan\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe International Dialogue Initiative (IDI) is a private, international, multidisciplinary group comprised of psychoanalysts, academics, diplomats, and other professionals who bring a psychologically informed perspective to the study and amelioration of societal conflict. It aims to provide a reflective space to enable an understanding of how the emotional and historical background of hostile relations – often related to trauma – is being experienced in the present. By doing so, antagonists can overcome resistances to dialogue and facilitate the discovery of peaceful solutions to intergroup problems. This book brings together key members of the IDI to present the theory and practice of the important work they do. At its heart, the book holds the idea that, while traumatic experiences may happen to an individual or a family, they also affect society and large-group identity over long periods of time. In that way, trauma plays out between generations and between countries.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into three parts: theory, application, and methodology. Trauma is the key thread running throughout and the distinguished contributors investigate healing, dehumanisation, memory, the pandemic, war, terrorism, identity, culture, the law, justice, and religion, among many other fascinating topics. The authors bring in case studies from all over the world, including the United States, Northern Ireland, Russia, Israel, Turkey, Germany, Egypt, and Palestine. To make sense of these, they draw on a wide range of approaches: group relations theory, group analytic theory, psychoanalysis, large-group psychology, psychodynamic theory, psychology, economics, sociology, political science, history, journalism, and the law, to name but a few. This must-read book brings theory to vivid life and brings hope that our fractured world can learn to heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘In \u003cem\u003eWe Don’t Speak of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e, Vamık Volkan, Regine Scholz, and M.

At the same time, they offer a much-needed vision for how human beings might heal these deep wounds and begin to live on the presumption that we are one human family, despite our differences. \u003cem\u003eWe Don’t Speak of Fear\u003c\/em\u003e is a wonderful contribution to the global family and deserves to be read, pondered, and decisively acted upon.’\u003c\/p\u003e -- Hugh O’Doherty, Founding Member, the Leadership and Peacemaking Global Network\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘After the Iraq war, politicians talked about power sharing amongst the Sunni and Shiite militias.

It engages with questions of how a society can move from the civil war conditions of discursive dehumanisation to peaceful cooperation in post-civil war settings and how peacebuilders can help communities utilise the transformative capacity of communication to encourage the reimagining of and engagement with former enemies as co-citizens. Ultimately, civil and peaceful cooperation depends on the observance of discursive civility and the building of safe discursive spaces in which civil engagement between different groups of society (including former combatants and survivors) can safely take place.

Through their analysis, the authors illustrate how the seemingly contradictory perspectives of deterrence optimists, disarmament idealists, and warfighting pessimists can be reconfigured into a unified approach towards achieving regional and global peace. They suggest that these strategies can be reconciled as complementary, rather than substitute approaches, to achieve the common goal of nuclear stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo achieve this objective, the book employs a game-theoretical framework to analytically define the conditions for nuclear war. Drawing from extensive observations of significant crises, the model incorporates identifiable systemic regularities that influence the strategic decision-making process during severe crises and establish the prerequisites for different levels of nuclear confrontation. Additionally, by tracing the strategic-technological trajectories of nuclear powers, the authors present a novel analysis that explores the potential for stable coexistence to replace unstable confrontation between global powers, ultimately fostering nuclear peace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author's theoretical explorations lead to the policy conclusion that establishing a nuclear oligopolistic hierarchy, under the leadership of preponderant global powers committed to a no-first-use pledge, presents the most effective international system for enhancing both regional and global nuclear stability.

Introduction\u003cp\u003eThis chapter overviews currently contradictory nuclear arguments by advocates of disarmament, deterrence, and warfighting.  Outside of the realm of deterrence looms the possibility that non-state agents will acquire and use dirty bombs.  Strategies to deal with this increasingly likely contingency are not in place.  As we move to a nuclear world beyond deterrence, we emphasize a need for the new strategic guidance to prevent the critical threats to human existence as we face an increasingly complex array of nuclear challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e2.     2. The Size and Scope of Nuclear Arsenals \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis chapter provides a chronological snapshot of nuclear proliferation. We show that evolving technology and lack of commitment to established deterrence strategies causes the drastic rise in the size and composition of nuclear arsenals.  We e valuate the implications of primary events of nuclear competitions, including the arms race of strategic weapons, the deployment of tactical warheads, the transfer of weapons to regional powers. The decision of voluntary denuclearization is an important step that because of the lack of commitment by global nuclear powers has not secured societies that choose to do so. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e3.   3. The Evolution of Nuclear Deterrence in Theory and Practice\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis chapter documents and analytically defines how and why the nuclear deterrence postures have shifted from Bernard Brodie's no-first-use doctrine under Massive Retaliation (MR) to Kenneth Waltz's neorealist principle of balance of terror under Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD). We identify theoretical and practical inconsistency shared by both perspectives and evaluate the recent emergence of nuclear warfighting philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e  4. 4.The Evolution of Disarmament in theory and Practice\u003c\/p\u003e  Past works view deterrence and disarmament as alternate but contradictory paths to nuclear stability. We show that they are two sides of the similar attempts to reduce the likelihood of nuclear war.  Although the Global Zero movement has been endorsed by a vast number of academics and practitioners, this chapter shows that a major obstacle to such a disarmament proposal is the lack of trust among global powers that voids any attempts at enforceability. The practical alternative are regional nuclear-free zones first implemented after the Treaty of Tlatelolco that have now been adopted by the majority of nations south of the Equator. We show how and why NFZ can complement nuclear stability provided that the global nuclear powers guarantee regional stability.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e5.     5. The Rise of Nuclear Warfighting Strategies\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis chapter investigates the dynamics of nuclear escalation and the development of tactical nuclear strategies.  Exploring the evolution of warfighting strategies from their early inception, we first examine salient aspects of early counterforce and countervalue strategies. We then assess the tactical aspects of escalation theory evaluating the likely success if tactical nuclear strikes to prevent escalation.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e6.     Based on discussions from previous chapters, we develop a novel model that identifies and addresses all domains of nuclear challenges capable of inflicting grave loss of life and economic devastation. Unlike previous perspectives, our specification incorporates (a) the interaction between conventional and nuclear capabilities, (b) the policy motivation based on status quo evaluations and inter-state trust that can alter the perception of the security environment, and (c) the physical exposure to retaliation as the measurable component in the calculus of war. Our model Integrating Deterrence, Disarmament and War Fighting Strategies identifying the necessary but not sufficient conditions for different levels of nuclear war and those required for peace.  requirements\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e7.     6. Long Term Stability Beyond Deterrence\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis chapter summarizes the implications of our perspective on nuclear stability. We show that deterrence under Massive Retaliation (MR) is unstable since a dissatisfied challenger with military superiority likely makes nuclear blackmail. Deterrence under Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) is tenuous at global or regional levels since only under the balance of terror generated by nuclear parity military disputes can escalate to massive all-out nuclear war. We show that formulating and adopting warfighting strategies may potentially reduce costs of limited nuclear war but is unlikely to avert escalating conflicts at nuclear parity.  Lack of experience at this level of carnage and the lack of effective escalation theory identifying the cost threshold when war would stop is still missing (conventional conflict seldom exceeded 25% loss in any nation – such levels can be achieved in the nuclear era in days not years).  On the positive side we show that disarmament at the regional level can induce regional stability. We show that particularly to the Middle East a NFZ can enhance stability.  To generalize the benefits of NFZ we advocate the creation of a new, veto free Nuclear Security Council composed only of the few global nuclear powers. Once in place this institution would allow any global nuclear power to respond to a first strike in any region and particularly against any member of an NFZ. On a less optimistic note, we show that “global-zero” is not a feasible option today and can be considered only after establishing a trust-based security scheme.  The preconditions for such a venture are simply not in place.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Systematic Analysis of Nuclear Crisis Outcomes  \u003c\/p\u003e  This work summaries using an agent-based perspective the evolution and resolution of all nuclear crisis. We refer to these cases throughout the book.  The overall analysis shows that outcomes of crisis where threats of nuclear weapons use were involved did not differ from those where no such threats were used.  Based on structural conditions, the the number, intensity, and structure of outcomes do not differ from those in the pre-nuclear period.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e8.     Appendix 2.
