    Book SynopsisThis book is a critical exploration of the war on terror from the prism of armed drones and globalization. It is particularly focused on the United States' use of the drones, and the systemic dysfunctions that globalization has caused to international political economy and national security, creating backlash in which the desirability of globalization is not only increasingly questioned, but the resultant dissension about its desirability appears increasingly militating against the international consensus needed to fight the war on terror. To underline the controversial nature of the war on terror and the pragmatic weapon (armed drones) fashioned for its prosecution, some of the elements of this controversy have been interrogated in this book. They include, amongst others, the doubt over whether the war should have been declared in the first place because terrorist attacks hardly meet the United Nations' casus belli an armed attack.

    Book SynopsisThis new handbook is a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge essays that investigate the contribution of Critical Terrorism Studies to our understanding of contemporary terrorism and counterterrorism.Terrorism remains one of the most important security and political issues of our time. After 9/11, Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS) emerged as an alternative approach to the mainstream study of terrorism and counterterrorism, one which combined innovative methods with a searching critique of the abuses of the war on terror. This volume explores the unique contribution of CTS to our understanding of contemporary non-state violence and the stateâs response to it. It draws together contributions from key thinkers in the field who explore critical questions around the nature and study of terrorism, the causes of terrorism, state terrorism, responses to terrorism, the war on terror, and emerging issues in terrorism research.

    Book SynopsisDisorder erupted in Ukraine in 2014, involving the overthrow of a sitting government, the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula, and a violent insurrection, supported by Moscow, in the east of the country.This Adelphi book argues that the crisis has yielded a ruinous outcome, in which all the parties are worse off and international security has deteriorated. This negative-sum scenario resulted from years of zero-sum behaviour on the part of Russia and the West in post-Soviet Eurasia, which the authors rigorously analyse. The rivalry was manageable in the early period after the Cold War, only to become entrenched and bitter a decade later. The upshot has been systematic losses for Russia, the West and the countries caught in between.All the governments involved must recognise that long-standing policies aimed at achieving one-sided advantage have reached a dead end, Charap and Colton argue, and commit to finding mutually acceptable alternativeTrade Review‘Everyone Loses expertly captures the origins and tragic consequences of the Ukraine crisis. Charap and Colton have produced a balanced, highly readable volume arguing that all sides have miscalculated. They off er constructive ideas for how relations can be improved. As tensions are now running dangerously high, that makes their book required reading for policy communities on both sides of the Atlantic.’ Igor Ivanov, President, Russian International Aff airs Council, and former Foreign Minister of Russia‘Charap and Colton provide a timely, thoughtful and insightful account of a complicated region during a complicated historical period. A must-read for anyone looking to navigate disorder in Eurasia and the very real risks it poses to international peace and security.’ William J. Burns, President, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and former US Deputy Secretary of State‘Understanding the Ukraine crisis is no easy task. This book deftly traces the regional and global roots of this major challenge to the post-Cold War order. It offers valuable recommendations on the steps needed to stabilise both Ukraine and the region as a whole.’ Javier Solana, former Secretary-General of NATO, and former EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy‘Historically informed and analytically penetrating, this account of the crisis in Ukraine and other “in-between” areas should be at the top of the reading lists for scholars, policymakers and members of the interested public. What is revealed could be called a comedy of errors if the results were not so tragic. And if leaders in Russia and the West are to cope with the confl ict they have created, they should start by reading this study.’ Robert Jervis, Adlai E. Stevenson Professor of International Politics, Columbia University'This is a balanced and very readable book that also contains helpful maps and chronology. Given these qualities, as well as the book’s scope and skilled review of various economic and security issues in Eurasia, the volume would serve as an ideal text for graduate and upper division undergraduate courses on international politics of central and eastern Europe and Eurasia.'

    Book SynopsisThis book examines a wide array of phenomena that arguably constitute the most noxious, extreme, terrifying, murderous, secretive, authoritarian, and/or anti-democratic aspects of national and international politics. Scholars should not ignore these dark sides of politics, however unpleasant they may be, since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways.The first volume in this two-volume collection focuses on the history of underground neo-fascist networks in the post-World War II era; neo-fascist paramilitary and terrorist groups operating in Europe and Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s; and the manipulation of those and other terrorist organizations by the security forces of various states, both authoritarian and democratic. A range of global case studies are included, all of which focus on the lesser known activities of certain secular extremist milieus.This collection should prove to be essential reading for students and researchers interested in unTrade Review"Drawing from a remarkably broad array of sources and cases, Jeffrey Bale sheds light on the politics, tactics and ideology of various extremist groups in Europe's recent history. Masterful." - Lorenzo Vidino, Director, Program on Extremism, George Washington University, USA. "In an age where ahistorical tunnel visions, politically corrected half-truths, and socially mediated platitudes dominate the understanding of extremism, and where specialist academic insights have been devalued by an abundance of journalistic counterfeits, this is a refreshing volume, exciting even. Anyone keen to get to grips with the threat posed by the contemporary far-right or appreciate its long-term roots without recourse to sensationalist clichés is recommended to start here. With its companion volume covering more recent developments, The Darkest Sides of Politics is a rare example of a history of post-1945 extremism by someone with the language-ability, scholarship, passion for forensic investigation, and iconoclastic attitude towards established and establishment perspectives that are needed to reconstruct violent events on the right with due regard to their profound socio-political, ideological, and religious drivers. It is the sort of book that counter-terrorism agencies should read, but almost certainly will not." - Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University, UK."Jeffrey Bale is the world’s leading expert on right-wing terrorism and one of the most scrupulous and intellectually provocative researchers in modern social sciences. This long-awaited volume is a meticulously researched, uniquely informative and genuinely fascinating treatise of post-war international fascism and extremist subversion in Europe and elsewhere." Anton Shekhovtsov, author of Russia and the Western Far Right: Tango Noir"I know of no other expert worldwide with the depth and breadth of knowledge of extremist ideologies possessed by Dr. Bale. The Darkest Sides of Politics reveals what for many readers – even seasoned scholars – will be new facets of the complex undercurrents of political extremism that plague global society."Gary Ackerman, Ph.D., Director, Unconventional Weapons and Technology Division, National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), USA.Table of Contents1 Introduction: ideologies, extremist ideologies, and terrorist violence2 Political paranoia versus political realism: on distinguishing between bogus conspiracy theories and genuine conspiratorial politics3 Postwar neo-fascist internationals, part 1: Nazi escape networks, the Mouvement Social Europeenne, Europaische Neu-Ordnung, and Jeune Europe4 Postwar "neo-fascist" internationals, part 2: Aginter Presse and the "strategy of tension" in Italy5 The December 1970 "Borghese coup" in Rome6 The May 1973 terrorist attack at Milan police HQ: anarchist ‘propaganda of the deed’ or ‘false-flag’ provocation?7 Concluding thoughts on the terrorist "strategy of tension" in Italy8 The ultranationalist right in Turkey and the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II9 ‘National revolutionary’ groupuscules and the resurgence of ‘left-wing’ fascism: the case of France’s Nouvelle Resistance

    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.

    Book SynopsisUnderstanding NATO in the 21st Century enhances existing strategic debates and clarifies thinking as to the direction and scope of NATO's potential evolution in the 21st century.The book seeks to identify the possible contours and trade-offs embedded within a potential third Transatlantic Bargain in the context of a U.S. strategic pivot in a Pacific Century. To that end, it explores the internal adaptation of the Alliance, evaluates the assimilation of NATO''s erstwhile adversaries, and provides a focus on NATO's operational future and insights into the new threats NATO faces and its responses. Each contribution follows a similar broad tripartite structure: an examination of the historical context in which the given issue or topic has evolved; an identification and characterization of key contemporary policy debates and drivers that shape current thinking; and, on that basis, a presentation of possible future strategic pathways or scenarios Trade Review'There is widespread agreement that the world is moving from unipolarity to a multipolar system, in which a handful of great powers will hold sway. What is debated is whether this return to multipolarity will be peaceful. This collection of essays does not give a clear answer, but the authors do provide a useful survey of the geopolitical landscape.' G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs"Herd and Kriendler have assembled a group of experts to produce a study that is both incisive and provocative. Smart and policy-relevant, the book raises tough questions about how NATO needs to adapt to our changing global security environment. A must read for anyone interested in the future of NATO and transatlantic security."-- Andrew A. Michta, Woodrow Wilson Center "This is a serious, original, and provocative work that deserves to be read widely. The book’s appearance is timed to coincide with the US strategic pivot toward the Asia-Pacific. This is the right time for reflection on NATO's past accomplishments and for looking ahead. It is clear that NATO's future will not be like the past. The authors question NATO's role, purpose, utility, and scope in such a thoughtful way that the book will become a benchmark for informed speculation on the questions of global security governance in the 21st century."-- Igor Zevelev, formerly Washington Bureau Chief for the RIA Novosti Russian News and Information Agency"This book represents an important landmark in the study of international security of the new century. It convincingly demonstrates that in the 21st century NATO’s future will be as much shaped by trans-Pacific as trans-Atlantic dynamics, and that the perception of power shifts and partnerships are as important as the shifts themselves. This thesis and the policy insights provided within each of the discrete chapters – particularly those addressing the relationship between NATO and nuclear, energy, and cyber security – will be of interest to policy and decision-makers, as well as scholars, analysts, and students, in this pivotal Asia-Pacific region."-- Wang Li, Jilin University Republic of China"The book is a timely reminder that an understanding of NATO requires both an historical update and a fresh reintroduction to the full spectrum of multiple issue areas and policy questions on the Alliance's agenda. The editors have managed to strike a fine balance here in covering the diverse fields of NATO's activities, while also focusing sharply on the essential question: what is NATO's purpose? They have done a splendid job in highlighting what is at stake in the third 'Transatlantic Bargain' concerning the future of the Alliance in a world of changing power relations and emerging new threats."-- Tuomas Forsberg, University of TampereTable of Contents1.

    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 Routledge Handbook of Ethics and War

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis new Handbook offers a comprehensive overview of contemporary extensions and alternatives to the just war tradition in the field of the ethics of war. The modern history of just war has typically assumed the primacy of four particular elements: jus ad bellum, jus in bello, the state actor, and the solider. This book will put these four elements under close scrutiny, and will explore how they fare given the following challenges: What role do the traditional elements of jus ad bellum and jus in belloand the constituent principles that follow from this distinctionplay in modern warfare? Do they adequately account for a normative theory of war? What is the role of the state in warfare? Is it or should it be the primary actor in just war theory? Can a just war be understood simply as a response to territorial aggression between state actors, or should other actions be accommodated under legitimate recourse to armed conflict? Trade Review'...the book as a whole covers contemporary just war thinking with a philosophical breadth rarely found in ethics of war treatments.

  • Taylor & Francis Ltd The Securitisation of Climate Change

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book provides the first systematic comparative analysis of climate security discourses. It analyses the securitisation of climate change in four different countries: USA, Germany, Turkey, and Mexico. The empirical analysis traces how specific climate-security discourses have become dominant, which actors have driven this process, what political consequences this has had and what role the broader context has played in enabling these specific securitisations. In doing so, the book outlines a new and systematic theoretical framework that distinguishes between different referent objects of securitisation (territorial, individual and planetary) and between a security and risk dimension. It thereby clarifies the ever-increasing literature on different forms of securitisation and the relationship between security, risk and politics. Whereas securitisation studies have traditionally focused on either a single country case study or a global overview, consequently failing to reconTrade Review'The Securitisation of Climate Change is a welcome and important contribution to the literature. The authors provide detailed empirical analysis of the way securitisation practices play out in a range of national settings, and make the important point that the different forms of linking climate change and security are crucial to the types of practices securitisation encourages. In the process, this book not only provides much needed empirical depth and theoretical nuance to literature on climate security, it also makes a broader contribution to debates about the construction of security- and the normative implications of this construction- in international relations.' -- Matt McDonald, University of Queensland, Australia'In addressing the great challenge of our time, The Securitisation of Climate Change brings unprecedented analytical sensitivity, nuance and breadth to the politics of climate change. Reflecting the fascinating diversity of securitizations exposed in their comparative study, the authors compellingly advance the conceptual and ethical frontiers of securitization theory.' -- Stefan Elbe, University of Sussex, UK 'The Securitisation of Climate Change is a great read for anyone seeking to understand how and why climate change gets connected to ideas of security. Cross-country comparisons provide a sophisticated look at the variation in ways that climate change-security links are made by actors in different political, economic and social contexts. The authors provide some much-needed depth to existing debates while remaining accessible to readers.' -- Nicole Detraz, University of Memphis, USATable of Contents1 Introduction 2 Analysing climate security discourses 3 The United States: climate change as danger to the state 4 Germany: ambivalent forerunner in individual security 5 Mexico: A case of politicised securitisation? 6 Turkey: no climate for change? 7 Conclusion: the politics of securitising climate change

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Strategic Survey is a journal of records that includes all relevant names and titles, chronologies and dates. But it is also much more: the hard facts are embossed in considered and nuanced analysis over 300 pages of text. The Strategic Survey opens with 'Perspectives', an assessment of the effect of major events and trends on the strategic landscape. Next, particular strategic policy issues, such as terrorism and weapons of mass destruction, missile defence and the future of peacekeeping, are examined in separate chapters. Another eighteen to twenty chapters of similar length, written along thematic rather than merely chronological lines, cover developments in particular regions or countries. The Strategic Survey concludes with 'Prospectives', an essay setting forth strategic priorities for the coming year. Also included are thirty-two pages of maps depicting strategically important activity and political change - such as piracy and Russia's new federal districts - globally, regionally and locally. The interplay of political developments and the actual or potential use of military force remains The Strategic Survey's chief concern. Nevertheless, since the end of the Cold War and of the first distinct post-Cold War period, the Institute has recognised that any survey of matters strategic needs to broaden its scope to embrace economic Table of ContentsEvents at a Glance July 2008-June 2009 -- Chapter 1 Perspectives -- Chapter 2 Strategic Policy Issues -- Countering Modern Terrorist Threats -- Europe's Energy Security -- Towards a New Asian Security Architecture -- Chapter 3 North America -- The United States: The Primacy of Politics -- Canada: Conservatives'Tenuous Hold -- Chapter 4 Latin America -- Mexico: Drug-war Escalation -- Colombia: FARC Down but not Out -- Venezuela: A Decade of the Bolivarian Revolution -- Bolivia:'Refounding'a Polarised Nation -- Ecuador's New Constitution -- Peru: Domestic Backlash -- Brazil: Lula's Leadership -- Argentina: The Kirchners'Decline -- Cuba's Shifting Relationships -- Nicaragua: Ortega's Move toward Autocracy -- Haiti: Steps toward Stability -- Chapter 5 Europe -- Developments in European Defence -- France: A Year of Paradoxes -- Germany: Vulnerabilities in an Election Year -- United Kingdom: Political Drift -- Sluggishness in the Balkans -- Turkey: Continuing Domestic Wrangles -- Chapter 6 Russia -- Chapter 7 Middle East / Gulf -- Iran: Election Sparks Protests, Nuclear Programme Advances -- Middle East: New US Impetus Faces Old Challenges -- Iraq: Nation Gathers Strength Saudi Arabia and the -- Gulf: Cautious Modernisation -- Chapter 8 Africa -- Crossroads in South Africa -- Cohabitation in Zimbabwe -- Somalia: Anarchy and Piracy -- Persisting Intra-state Crises -- Chapter 9 South Asia and Afghanistan -- Pakistan: Political Fragility -- Afghanistan: Insurgency Grows -- India: Elections Bolster Stability -- Sri Lanka: Civil War Ends -- Bangladesh: Military-backed Rule Ends -- Nepal: Arguments Obstruct Peace Process -- Chapter 10 Asia-Pacific -- China: Caution Tempers Rising Status -- Southeast Asia: Political and Security Questions -- Australia and New Zealand: Defence Policy Shifts -- The Korean Peninsula: Diplomacy Derailed -- Japan: Politics Overshadows Security Issues -- Chapter 11 Prospectives -- Index -- Strategic Geography (after p. 212) -- Global Issues Global recession -- Slump in container trade -- Africa Anti-piracy operations off Somalia -- Middle East/Gulf West Bank settlements -- Iran's disputed election -- Asia-Pacific Afghanistan: military supply routes -- The rise of Pakistan's Taliban -- Confrontation in the Korean peninsula -- The Americas America's decaying infrastructure -- Drug-cartel violence in Mexico -- Index of Regional Maps -- North America -- Latin America -- Europe -- Russia / Eurasia -- Middle East -- Africa -- South Asia -- Asia-Pacific.

  • Cambridge University Press At Wars End Building Peace After Civil Conflict

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisAll fourteen major peacebuilding missions launched between 1989 and 1999 shared a common strategy for consolidating peace after internal conflicts: immediate democratization and marketization. Transforming war-shattered states into market democracies is basically sound, but pushing this process too quickly can have damaging and destabilizing effects. The process of liberalization is inherently tumultuous, and can undermine the prospects for stable peace. A more sensible approach to post-conflict peacebuilding would seek, first, to establish a system of domestic institutions that are capable of managing the destabilizing effects of democratization and marketization within peaceful bounds and only then phase in political and economic reforms slowly, as conditions warrant. Peacebuilders should establish the foundations of effective governmental institutions prior to launching wholesale liberalization programs. Avoiding the problems that marred many peacebuilding operations in the 1990s wiTrade Review'At War's End is the state of the art treatment of the dilemmas of reconstruction and peacebuilding after war, intervention and civil conflict.' Michael Ignatieff, Director, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University'At a moment when politicians and pundits are debating the wisdom of nation-building, Roland Paris brings us an important and groundbreaking book. Theoretically rich, historically informed, and analytically innovative, this authoritative volume will be invaluable to scholars and practitioners alike who are interested in understanding what it takes to build peace after civil wars' Thomas G. Weiss, Presidential Professor and Director, Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies, CUNY Graduate Center'This is the best book yet written on peacebuilding operations, a must for both academics and practitioners.' Peter Viggo Jakobsen, Associate Professor in International Relations, University of Copenhagen'It is hard to imagine a more timely study than Roland Paris's superb analysis of the peacebuilding experience of the last decade. As the United States gropes its way through the morass of Iraq, its leaders need to read At War's End and concentrate on developing timetables and building institutions.' Robert A. Pastor, Vice President of International Affairs, American University'This book will surely stand as the definitive treatment of the intellectual and ideological origins of international peacekeeping and peacebuilding in the post-Cold War era. The breadth of cases, the rigorous assessment of outcomes, and depth of policy insight are most impressive.' Fen Osler Hampson, Professor of International Affairs and Director, Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, Carleton University'Few studies of peacekeeping and peacebuilding merit the description 'breakthrough.'…This is one of them.' Michael Pugh, Director, University of Plymouth International Studies Centre and Editor, International Peacekeeping Journal'At War's End is a major contribution to an understanding of the theory, practice, and consequences of peacekeeping that should be read by scholars and practitioners alike. Roland Paris expertly demonstrates how peacekeeping has evolved from the modest attempt to keep the peace into the much more ambitious agenda of engineering the socio-political conditions for a stable peace. But, as Paris documents, the road to hell can be paved with good intentions; the attempt by the international community to promote democracy and markets has created, in various places, not a liberal peace but instead renewed competition and violence. His recommendations should be debated seriously by all those who are concerned about the future of peacekeeping.' Michael Barnett, Professor of Political Science and Director, International Relations Program, University of Wisconsin'… At war's end deserves to become the essential text on peacebuilding operations for practitioners and analysts alike.' International Affairs'At War's End is a timely and very good addition to the growing literature in post-conflict studies. … Paris's book is appropriate for any liberalization or conflict studies, as both are covered aptly. It is a strong addition to the literature on peacebuilding methods and strategies.' Journal of Peace Research'Roland Paris does us a great service in At War's End by stripping peacebuilding back to its ideological origins and providing the reader with a useful assessment of the theoretical assumptions which underlie it.'
