Taylor & Francis Ltd Genocide and Victimology
Book SynopsisGenocide and Victimology examines genocide in its diverse features, from different yet connected perspectives, to offer an interdisciplinary, victimological imagination of genocide. It will include in its exploration critical and cultural victimologies and criminologies of genocide, accompanied by, and recognising, the rich scholarship on genocide in the fields of religion and history, theatre studies and photography, philosophy and existentialism, post-colonialism, and ethnography and biography. Bringing together theory with empirical research and drawing on a range of case studies, such as the Treblinka extermination camp, the Bosnian and Rwandan genocides, the Sagkeeng First Nation in Manitoba, Canada, and genocidal violence in Syria and Iraq, this book engages the victimological imagination towards an interdisciplinary, cosmopolitan victimology of genocide. Bundled and intertwined, the wide yet integrated variety of perspectives on genocide gives readers a victimTrade ReviewThis is an important and sometimes unsettling work. It is a hard truth that victimology has all but neglected the most atrocious of crimes, and has yet to scratch the surface of paths to and limits of understanding genocide victimization. This book is therefore already valuable in highlighting this gap. But Yarin Eski and his contributors go well beyond mere gap-spotting. He has succeeded in bringing together an array of leading scholars, each bringing their A-game to the volume, asking many difficult questions, offering an initial glimpse of what the answers to them might be and much in the way of inspiration for further investigation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Emerging Technologies and International Security
Book SynopsisThis book offers a multidisciplinary analysis of emerging technologies and their impact on the new international security environment across three levels of analysis.While recent technological developments, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics and automation, have the potential to transform international relations in positive ways, they also pose challenges to peace and security and raise new ethical, legal and political questions about the use of power and the role of humans in war and conflict. This book makes a contribution to these debates by considering emerging technologies across three levels of analysis: (1) the international system (systemic level) including the balance of power; (2) the state and its role in international affairs and how these technologies are redefining and challenging the state's traditional roles; and (3) the relationship between the state and society, including how these technologies affect individualTable of ContentsIntroduction: Machines, the State and War Reuben Steff, Joe Burton and Simona R.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Small Countries Big Diplomacy
Book SynopsisThis book shows how small countries use big diplomacy to advance national interests and global agendas from issues of peace and security (the South China Sea and nuclearization in Korea) and human rights (decolonization) to development (landlocked and least developed countries) and environment (hydropower development). Using the case of Laos, it explores how a small landlocked developing state maneuvered among the big players and championed causes of international concern at three of the world's important global institutions the United Nations (UN), the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Mekong River Commission (MRC).Recounting the geographical and historical origins behind Laos' diplomacy, this book traces the journey of the country, surrounded by its five larger neighbors China, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia, and influenced by superpower rivalries, from the Cold War to the post-Cold War eras. The book is written from an integrated perspectiveTrade Review"It is widely recognised that the best diplomats are reasonable and humane sceptics and that the main formative influence in diplomatic theory is common sense. But how does this old wisdom apply to small states of today and what should the representatives of small states do to be good diplomats? This book provides the key answers tested in practice. Both Alounkeo (father) and Anoulak (son) Kittikhoun are respected and experienced practitioners of diplomacy. Their book offers invaluable advice based on real experience that will serve well diplomats of small states in all parts of the world." Danilo Türk, former President of Slovenia and former United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Political Affairs "In international politics and global institutions, small states are at the mercy of ruthless big powers, influence-peddling institutions, greedy multinationals and resourceful actors of all kinds. This I have experienced professionally as the first Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations mandated to advocate for the most vulnerable countries of the world, often "voiceless countries," to get a just and better deal from the unwilling world community. In that role, I have perceived how skillful, pragmatic and determined diplomats of these small countries can make a difference in advancing the best interest of their peoples. Ambassador Alounkeo Kittikhoun is an outstanding representative of such high calibre. The Kittikhouns – father and son duo – have brilliantly articulated in their book some practical and workable, yet profoundly meaningful principles and rules for small states diplomacy in a globalised and interconnected world that allow these countries not only to survive but to thrive. This book has filled in the existing void of a much-needed empowering tool for the small states as they navigate an unjust and unequal international system. It deserves broad-ranging readership as well as regular application of its contents in real life situations." Anwarul K. Chowdhury, former United Nations High Representative for Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries, and Small Island Developing States, former Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Bangladesh to the United Nations, and former Senior Special Adviser to the President of the UN General Assembly"Alounkeo Kittikhoun was one of the most respected and trusted UN Ambassadors among the UN community. This book reminds us of the importance of appointing a talented person at a vital position in order not only to pursue a country’s own diplomatic goals, but also to contribute to international cooperation."Kitaoka Shinichi, President, Japan International Cooperation Agency "This rare and valuable book puts Laos on the mental mapping of world affairs, too often thought to be one of big country preferences. Readers can learn to appreciate how strenuous an effort it has been for a small and land-locked country to have established a footprint in sustainable development goals championed by the United Nations, particularly that in the Mekong River system. Most highly recommended." ZhaDaojiong, Professor, Peking University, China "This is an inspirational insider view of two generations of Laotian diplomat/practitioners and their efforts to help maneuver their small landlocked country through the shoals of regional powers and global institutions, all while balancing the views of the East with the West, development with conservation, and a rich and storied past with a promising future. We’re fortunate to have both the breadth and depth of the experience of these two scholars as they so eloquently and personally answer the seemingly insurmountable question: How do small countries conduct big diplomacy? The answers they come to, laid out clearly in their concluding chapter, are nuanced, insightful, and practical (and in contrast with much that has been written on the topic by theoreticians and outsiders). While nominally a story about Laos, the lessons learned about how to affirm one’s destiny even when surrounded by power are universal."Aaron T. Wolf, Professor, Oregon State University, United States "Dr. Anoulak Kittikhoun, a citizen of Laos, has for almost a decade played a leading role in building cooperation among the six ‘riparian’ nations through with which the Mekong River flows. He left his position in the United Nations in New York to return home to join the MRC as coordinator for the ‘Basin Development Plan’, at a time when the MRC senior management team (under an international CEO) mostly comprised contract expatriate staff funded by bilateral development agencies. This has changed, with Dr. Kittikhoun playing a leading role, within and beyond the Basin, in advocating Mekong riparian cooperation and development. This book captures this wonderful story with a refreshing perspective that brings back the development consensus of the past in order to chart new days for the mighty Mekong."David Grey, Oxford University, United Kingdom and former Senior Water Advisor, World Bank "Expertly, and perceptively, analyzes how Laos has successfully punched well above its weight in championing causes of international concern at a number of the world’s pre-eminent global institutions. An added bonus is the well-balanced perspective of Anoulak Kittikhoun, who is from Laos but is very much an internationalist leading the water diplomatic efforts in the Mekong for many years. A genuine must read for diplomats, academics, international policy makers, and anyone with an interest in international relations, diplomacy, the Mekong and Asia generally."
