Taylor & Francis Ltd Understanding Civil Wars Continuity and change in
Book SynopsisThis volume explores the nature of civil war in the modern world and in historical perspective. Civil wars represent the principal form of armed conflict since the end of the Second World War, and certainly in the contemporary era. The nature and impact of civil wars suggests that these conflicts reflect and are also a driving force for major societal change. In this sense, Understanding Civil Wars: Continuity and change in intrastate conflict argues that the nature of civil war is not fundamentally changing in nature.The book includes a thorough consideration of patterns and types of intrastate conflict and debates relating to the causes, impact, and changing nature' of war. A key focus is on the political and social driving forces of such conflict and its societal meanings, significance and consequences. The author also explores methodological and epistemological challenges related to studying and understanding intrastate war. A range of qTrade Review'Edward Newman has provided civil war scholars and educators with a unique and important book. In addition to analyzing the societal and political determinants of civil war, the volume provides unique insights into its consequences, management, and epistemological debates. The case studies provide a broad geographic, type, and temporal range, including the often-ignored 19th-century conflicts and wars with statebuilding implications. I highly recommend this timely contribution to an extremely important subject matter.'-- Karl DeRouen, Jr, University of Alabama, USA'In an incisive and provocative new study, Edward Newman makes a compelling case for considering state-building as one of the key political drivers of civil war. Wide-ranging, knowledgeable and erudite, Understanding Civil Wars is an excellent addition to current scholarship on one of the world's most pressing issues. Written by a leading scholar in the field, this book is essential reading for the expert and lay reader alike.' -- Richard Jackson, University of Otago, New Zealand'Edward Newman always produces imaginative and informed contributions to debates on contemporary security. This book is no exception, providing an insightful and timely exploration of key debates related to civil war in the modern world.' -- Caroline Kennedy, University of Hull, UK'This book addresses the seemingly pervasive problem of civil war in a novel way. It argues that this phenomenon – which today draws unprecedented attention by scholars and practitioners – is not as recent or different as many would think. Furthermore, it has many of the same roots through history. This is documented in a fresh, empirical and critical analysis of a number of well-known civil wars. Thus, the work of Newman provides challenging insights, particularly on factors relating to the state, local power politics and the strategies of liberal peacebuilding.'--Peter Wallensteen, Uppsala University and the University of Notre Dame'In this thought-provoking volume, Newman evaluates major strains in the often contradictory scholarship on civil wars.' -- Journal of Peace Research'The book presents a useful examination of the modern state and the challenges posed, particularly in light of liberal state-building efforts so prevalent in the post-Cold War era...

Taylor & Francis Interpreting International Politics
Book SynopsisInterpreting International Politics addresses each of the major, traditional subfields in International Relations: International Law and Organization, International Security, and International Political Economy. But how are interpretivist methods and concerns brought to bear on these topics? In this slim volume Cecelia Lynch focuses on the philosophy of science and conceptual issues that make work in international relations distinctly interpretive. This work both legitimizes and demonstrates the necessity of post- and non-positivist scholarship.Interpretive approaches to the study of international relations span not only the traditional areas of security, international political economy, and international law and organizations, but also emerging and newer areas such as gender, race, religion, secularism, and continuing issues of globalization. By situating, describing, and analyzing major interpretive works in each of these fields, the book draws out the critical resTrade Review"A major triumph—and an essential text. Lynch not only demystifies interpretivism and illuminates its longstanding presence in IR and contributions across the discipline’s subfields, but also presents original–and urgently needed–work on race and religion in international politics. The text’s exceptional clarity and accessibility will please students, facilitate teaching, and impress scholars; hence, a welcome and timely addition to IR."—V. Spike Peterson, University of Arizona"This impressive book comprehensively surveys the contribution interpretive scholarship has made to the discipline of International Relations. Furthermore, it critically evaluates how a range of interpretivist concerns have been pushing forward the boundaries of our theoretical, conceptual, and empirical knowledge across a range of IR's established and emerging subfields."—Oliver Daddow, University of Leicester"In Interpreting International Politics, Cecelia Lynch compellingly illustrates the intellectual and political importance of interpretivism in all areas of International Relations (IR) while documenting both the longstanding and the contemporary achievements of interpretivist IR. This excellent volume is a ‘must read’ both for those teaching and studying interpretivist IR and for those conducting interpretivist IR research."—Jutta Weldes, University of Bristol"The book provides the validation that comes with decades of interpretive interventions in IR, showing that there is a distinct interpretive tradition in IR. It empowers researchers to locate their own work in that tradition and to respond to those who remain skeptical of the legitimacy, rigor or purpose of interpretivism. Lynch’s clarion call should inspire scholars to continue the rich tradition of interpreting international politics."—Deepa Prakash, International Journal of Feminist PoliticsTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Weapons for Peace Weapons for War
Book SynopsisOn the debate over whether or not arms transfers increase or deter the chances of war, Cassady B. Craft offers a balanced assessment of the effect of arms transfers on war involvement and outcomes. He considers correlations at the state and global level, supplier and recipient relationships, and the extent of the relationship in the perceptions of individual leaders. This is the first study to examine the influence of arms transfers on combined interstate and civil wars. Drawing on a variety of theories and quantitative methods, including force-on-force attrition models, it uses innovative techniques that have the potential to change the way analysts weigh the impact of weapons sales. This book will provide both analysts and policymakers with a comprehensive examination of the various tradeoffs between weapons sales and the probability of conflict.Trade Review"Weapons For Peace, Weapons For War is a valuable studyand makes a major contribution toward the understandingof a topic we need to know more about--the impact ofweapons sales on war and peace." -- Gary K.

Taylor & Francis Naval Strategy and Operations in Narrow Seas 5 Naval Policy History S
Book SynopsisMany books and articles have been written on wars in narrow seas. However, none deals in any comprehensive manner with the problems of strategy and conduct of naval operations. The aim of this book is to explain in some detail the characteristics of a war fought in narrow seas and to compare and contrast strategy and major operations in narrow seas and naval warfare in the open ocean..Trade Review"Naval Strategy and Operations in Narrow Seas is unique in littoral warfare literature because it is not written from an amphibious operations/Marine Corps perspective. By both merit and default it now is the very best published study of its type. I hope Vego"s contentions succeed in challenging all serving naval professionals to think and write about what we plan to do in littoral waters."Table of ContentsThe factor of space; positions; bases; theatre and its elements; strategic objectives and fleet distribution; sea control and sea denial; methods; securing command; exercising command; contesting command; attacks on maritime trade; protection of maritime trade; support of the army flank.
