Polity Press The Causes of War
Book SynopsisIn this book, David Sobek argues that there is no single explanation for war: factors leading to war in one case may well lead to peace in another. Understanding the onset of war, he contends, requires a movement away from single theories towards one that embraces the multi-faceted causes of war.Trade Review"Provides good summaries of a wide range of debates in conflict theory alongside a diverse array of historical material and case studies. The book commends itself to the attention of researchers, advanced undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of international relations theory, security studies and peace and conflict studies." Acta Politica "A fine overview of the major factors influencing decisions for interstate war – power, democratic peace, and trade – across different levels of analysis. The inclusion of frequent case applications and a discussion of civil war are bonuses." Paul F. Diehl, University of IllinoisTable of ContentsIntroduction. Section I: The Behavior of States.

Taylor & Francis Ltd International Peacekeeping The Library of Essays
Book SynopsisPeacekeeping has been the technique most frequently used by, and associated with, the United Nations to end conflicts and to preserve peace. In addition, international and regional organizations have also performed peacekeeping functions. Since the establishment of the first UN peacekeeping mission, UNEF I, in 1956, international lawyers have raised questions about the legal aspects of these operations. Traditionally, they analyzed the constitutional basis for peacekeeping and tried to allocate the authority under the UN Charter for peacekeeping among the Security Council, the General Assembly and the Secretary General. They discussed the use of force by peacekeepers, the applicability of international humanitarian law, as well as the responsibilities and liabilities of peacekeepers. Since the end of the cold war, peacekeeping operations have become more complex. In the first forty years, peacekeepers functioned mainly as buffer zones between warring parties and monitored cease-fires.Trade Review'This book is an unequalled coherent work which illustrates the range of problems of Peacekeeping Operations comprehensively...this publication has the potential to become a standard work in the area of international peacekeeping.'

Bloomsbury USA 3pl Youth and Conflict in IsraelPalestine
Book SynopsisVictoria Biggs is a researcher at Durham University, UK. Previously she held the Max Batley Postdoctoral Fellowship in Peace Studies at the University of Sheffield, UK. She is also a special school teacher and storyteller working extensively with young people who have experienced violence. Her fieldwork in the Middle East was supported by the Council for British Research in the Levant.Trade Review[I]n addition to the book’s empirical contributions, it makes methodological and theoretical contributions by adding to the corpus of knowledge on storytelling, narration, and contested histories ... Further, Biggs raises ethical questions regarding carrying out research in overstudied areas and explains how she adjusted her own approach to better listen to and empower the youth with whom she worked; thus, this book is of relevance to students of fieldwork methods more broadly, not only to those working in Israel/Palestine. * Journal of Palestine Studies *Victoria Biggs writes a compelling book that brings young people’s stories into the foreground, troubling familiar narratives with a dynamic, rich and highly readable account of lives lived amidst violence, oppression and long-standing conflict. She argues that ‘telling a story is an act of trust’ and ‘listening is an expression of responsibility’. I would urge all interested in the politics and narratives of Israel-Palestine to read this book and take that responsibility. -- James Thompson, Professor of Applied Theatre, University of Manchester, UKThis book focuses on young people as storytellers in the violent and politicized Israeli-Palestinian context and gives us new insights into the worries, dreams and reasoning of Palestinian and Israeli youth. By giving voice to children and youth in Palestinian cities and refugee camps, in Israeli settlements as well as in bilingual educational settings, the author manage to transmit the complexities of identity formation, place-making, political stances and processes of othering. -- Nina Gren, Assistant Professor, Lund University, SwedenTable of ContentsAcknowledgements Once Upon an Intifada At the Edge of Known Stories Field Sites and Fault Lines Story against Narrative Young People as Storytellers Language and the Hidden Landscape Fairy Tale as an Idiom of Terror A Lexicon of Symbols Mother Tongues and Other Tongues Violence in the Narration of Self and Other Face to Face: the Fundamental Violence of Storytelling Storytelling as Self-Expression and Suppression Purity in Narrative?
