Book SynopsisTerrorism in East and West Africa provides a highly interpretative analysis of under-focusing in intelligence assessment. Essential reading for students of terrorism and anti-terrorist practitioners.'- Barry Rider, Jesus College, University of Cambridge, UK'This is an interesting and challenging book that will be of interest to those who know nothing of terrorism in Africa but also to those who are familiar with the patterns of conflict in that continent. A former practitioner, the author brings practical analysis to a range of terrorist groups on the continent that range over significant areas of East, West and Central Africa, producing a book that is of considerable value and that fills a clear gap in current analysis.'- Paul Jackson, University of Birmingham, UK'In Dr Ridley's latest volume Terrorism in East and West Africa, practitioner knowledge and academic scholarship have combined to produce a highly effective - and readable - work.'- Euan Grant, International Financial,Tax and Border Control ConsultantSince 9/11, despite extensive international efforts against global terrorism, there has been a worrying lack of focus on terrorist activity in Africa. Terrorism in East and West Africa: The Under-focused Dimension addresses this strategic deficit by drawing together and analyzing the various domestic and international counter-terrorist measures that have been carried out in East-West Africa since this infamous attack.In his analysis Dr Ridley emphasizes the need to avoid apportioning blame, preferring instead to conduct a thorough examination of counter-terrorist financing measures in certain African countries, as well as looking at the problems associated with their implementation. In this context, the author explains how Western impositions, guidance, and assistance have compounded the ineffectiveness of such measures. This timely book draws upon the author's experience as a former intelligence analyst, to give an account of terrorism in East and West Africa in the first two decades after the 9/11 attacks. Throughout the book there is a questioning of why there has been, and continues to be, an incorrect strategic approach to this threat.This book explores counter-terrorism measures in East and West Africa from an original perspective and delivers an important resource for scholars of terrorism laws, strategies, and politics.Trade Review‘Terrorism in East and West Africa provides a highly interpretative analysis of under-focusing in intelligence assessment.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Multimodal Transport Security: Frameworks and
Book SynopsisRapid globalisation has led to the realization that the traditional modal approach to transporting people and goods is insufficient. Multimodal Transport Security illustrates the inevitable shift towards multimodal transportation systems, further enabled by modern technological innovations, and succinctly assesses the demanding and new security challenges that have accompanied this.The emergence of these complex transportation infrastructures has created exceedingly attractive terrorist targets owing to the potential for wide-scale disruption of global supply chains. Providing a conjoint analysis of key issues in both passenger and freight multimodal transportation security, expert contributors provide pivotal case studies highlighting the successes and failures of various policies and practices across several geographical regions. Adeptly drawing these strands together, the editors identify similarities and heterogeneities and in doing so, produce a practical illustration of the potential for further enhancement of multimodal security.An ever-increasing and worldwide concern with the improvement of security in transport places this unique and comprehensive text at the forefront of transportation literature. It will be of great value to students and scholars of public policy as well as policy makers in the fields of transportation and counter-terrorism.Contributors: M. Anderson, M. Bak, J. Burnewicz, E.

Talarico, C. van Gulijk, J. Vilko, M.J. Williams, Y. Wiseman, C. Yu, L. ZampariniTrade Review'With all the excitement in the field of transport surrounding issues like electric propulsion, shared mobility and self-driving vehicles, the way forward to sustainable transport still depends on our ability to integrate the various modes of transport into one efficient and secure transport system. This book and the four expert editors are the much needed voice of advocacy for this, almost forgotten, subject. The book is an important education tool for understanding multimodality and for thinking 'multimodal'. --Moshe Givoni, Tel Aviv University, Israel'Transport - of both people and goods - is a necessary condition for an open and interconnected world. The achievement of efficient transport systems calls for interlinked transport modes that are smart and effective, based on a systemic perspective. To avoid fragile transport operations, transport systems need to be robust with a high level of security, so that transport vulnerability can be avoided, especially in intermodal transport connections. This is a timely publication on a worldwide concern in the modern transport field, highlighting the importance of secure intermodal transport systems. It offers both conceptual and applied research perspectives on currently prevailing issues and challenges in this field, supported by various relevant case studies. The topics addressed are of critical importance for both the research community and transport operators, as well as for policy making agencies.' --Peter Nijkamp, VU University, Amsterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThe NIEMO development effort is as ambitious as any in regional science. In addition to immense data handling issues faced are the numerous conceptual and theoretical hurdles these researchers have cleared so adeptly. The volume's chapters present many of the critical areas of analysis to which analytical frameworks like NIEMO can be put, and demonstrate what can be accomplished when a group of dedicated scholars focus their collective energy on the development of computational models of complex social systems.'- Randall Jackson, Director, Regional Research Institute, West Virginia University, USThe United States has encountered increasing levels of terrorist activity and a number of significant natural disasters in this millennium, a pattern which has also occurred globally. There has been a degree of uncertainty over their impact on the national economy.A unique contribution towards mitigation is offered in this book, which develops a national economic impact model to estimate the effects of simulated terrorist attacks and real world natural disasters on individual US States and economic sectors. The model, NIEMO (The National Interstate Economic Model), examines interindustry relationships and interregional trade, and presents a multiregional input-output analysis of the economic impact resulting from these events.Students and researchers in regional science, planning, economics and geography will find this book offers an informative perspective. Practitioners, policy makers and general readers interested in public policy issues will appreciate the insights.Contributors include: J. Cho, P. Gordon, B. Lee, J.E. Moore II, Q. Pan, C. Park, J.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Benefit–Cost Analyses for Security Policies: Does
Book SynopsisThe opening of the National September 11th Memorial and Museum in 2014 marks a new era of reflection toward enhancing homeland security regulation in the United States. In the context of this new era, it is necessary to consider how policy intended to reinforce homeland security is evaluated.Benefit-Cost Analyses for Security Policies describes how to undertake the evaluation of security policies within the framework of benefit cost analysis and offers a unique contribution to analysis of homeland security regulations in the United States. The authors outline how established procedures for benefit-cost analysis must adapt to meet challenges posed by current security policy, through examining specific security related regulations. The logic of risk assessment, selection of a discount rate, valuation of travelers' time when delayed due to screening, valuation of changes in risks of injury or death, and impacts of terrorist events on the economy as a whole are among the issues discussed. An outline of the research and policy evaluation steps needed to build robust benefit-cost methods to evaluate security related regulations in the future is presented in the book. A series of examples is offered to illustrate how new security regulations should be reassessed to ensure resources are not wasted.Policy analysts will benefit from the insight drawn on how to evaluate homeland security regulation in the United States. Academic researchers interested in homeland security policy evaluation will find this book valuable and informative. Postgraduate students of public policy or applied economics will find examples of the challenges in using the methods of benefit-cost analysis in this new area for policy evaluation.Contributors include: K.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Fighting Terrorism at Source: Using Foreign Aid
Book SynopsisThis book offers a unique and insightful econometric evaluation of the policies used to fight transnational terrorism between 1990 and 2014. It uses the tools of modern economics, game theory and structural econometrics to analyze the roles of foreign aid, educational capital, and military intervention. Jean-Paul Azam and Veronique Thelen analyze panel data over 25 years across 124 countries. They prove that foreign aid plays a key role in inducing recipient governments to protect the donors' political and economic interests within their sphere of influence. Demonstrating that countries endowed with better educational capital export fewer terrorist attacks, they also illustrate that, in contrast, military intervention is counter-productive in abating terrorism. Recognizing the strides taken by the Obama administration to increase the role of foreign aid and reduce the use of military interventions, this book shows the significant impact this has had in reducing the number of transnational terrorist attacks per source country, and suggests further developments in this vein. Practical and timely, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of economics and political science, as well as those working on the wider issue of terrorism. Presenting a series of new findings, the book will also appeal to international policy makers and government officials.Table of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Post
Book SynopsisThe events of 9/11 gave rise to a new epoch in world history. This Handbook examines how the world order and our understanding of war and peace has been transformed since the global war on terror began. Bringing together expert commentators and academics from Asia, US, Europe and the Middle East, the Handbook of Terrorism and Counter Terrorism Post 9/11 assesses regional responses to terrorism and evaluates the emergence of new threats. This timely reflection on the consequences of the global war on terror considers the future of asymmetric conflict in the context of the fourth industrial revolution, and the evolution of cyber warfare. Providing an analysis of terrorism since 2001, from Al Qaeda to Daesh, and a critical evaluation of counter terrorism and counter insurgency, this Handbook is an essential primer for students, at all levels, researching terrorism, insurgency, global warfare and international relations. It will also benefit defence and security personnel enrolled on postgraduate courses in military academies. Contributors include: B. Ahlhaus, R. Basra, B. Blair, B. Clifford, J. Cook, R. Dellios, C.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd China's Rise and Australia–Japan–US Relations:
Book SynopsisThe future of American leadership in the Asia-Pacific under the Trump administration appears uncertain. In this timely book, Michael Heazle and Andrew O?Neil have brought together contributors from across the globe to explore the commitment of Australia and Japan to US leadership in this region, and how this commitment may impact on often tense relations between China and the US. China's Rise and Australia?-Japan?-US Relations discusses the strategic post-war presence of American leadership in Asia, and examines the influence on the region?s geopolitics. This book allows readers to understand how and why China is challenging this external engagement, and conversely why Australia and Japan want to maintain a commitment to US input; their perceptions of American leadership are critical indicators of the prospects for change in the region. This is a vital book for security and international relations scholars, researchers and experts, as it provides detailed analyses of current relations between countries in the Asia Pacific and the US, as well as giving a thorough look into what the future is likely to hold in terms of US commitment in the region.Contributors include: Z. Cooper, I. Hall, R. Hanada, M. Heazle, V. Jackson, R. Kersten, S. Lee, S. Mori, A. O'Neil, M. Rapp-Hooper, R. SahashiTrade Review'This book addresses many of the critical issues confronting contemporary international relations in the Asia-Pacific, including the origins, nature, and development of the region's US led ''rule-based'' order; the future of the hub and spokes alliance system; and in particular the growing importance of ''spoke to spoke'' security cooperation between Japan and Australia and other US partners at a time of growing uncertainty over Washington's regional engagement. I strongly recommended this book to anyone interested in not only better understanding Australia-Japan-US relations, but also the Asia-Pacific security order and its future.' --Tomohiko Satake, National Institute for Defense Studies, Japan'This is a much needed and serious analysis of the stabilising role of the United States in the Asia Pacific region. That role in maintaining the regional balance of power is as important now as it has ever been. Australia's place as one of America's key allies in the region is an important piece of the jigsaw of regional architecture and it needs to continue to play that part with confidence and certainty. Above all, Australia needs to make its role clear and unequivocal and not be deflected by arguments that it should downgrade its part in upholding the US presence in the region.' --Alexander Downer, AC, Australian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom and formerly Foreign Minister of Australia from 1996 to 2007'In the midst of growing uncertainty about US primacy and commitment in the Asia-Pacific, this timely volume assembles an impressive collection of prominent Australian, Japanese, and US experts to focus on how two of America's very most important allies are grappling with the emergent regional order. With rich scholarly analysis and policy insights, the authors rightly foresee the need for Canberra and Tokyo to recalibrate their expectations about the United States, while still doing all they can with Washington and other key partners to shoulder the burden of preserving the rules-based security and economic order which has so greatly benefitted the region. Policymakers and scholars alike-in Australia, Japan and beyond-should read this book to understand how US allies are looking to navigate between a rising China on the one hand and uncertain America leadership on the other.' --Bates Gill, Macquarie University, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents: Preface Part I US Leadership in a Liberal East Asian Order 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Failure to Protect: The Path to and
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the reasons behind, and consequences of, military operations by Western powers. It focuses on those humanitarian interventions aimed at protecting civilians from terror, dictators and criminals in fragile states. Contributing to the cosmopolitan, feminist and post-colonial literature on interventions, 12 case studies from across the globe are explored, including military interventions in: Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Iraq, Kosovo, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.The interventionist era post 1999 has been associated with an increase in conflict fatalities, while the non-interventionist era 1989-1999 is associated with declining conflict violence. This book analyses both quantitatively and qualitatively the interactive discourses of the proponents and opponents of humanitarian protection. Timo Kivimäki explores the need for a representative global agency and legitimate institutions to avoid accusations of partisanship, and calls for the removal of the masculine gender bias in protection to create 'democratic matriotism'.A timely read for advanced international relations scholars, this book analyses the data surrounding military interventions, providing a thorough insight into the last two decades of humanitarian conflict work. Politicians and practitioners of wartime humanitarian protection will also greatly benefit from this book.Trade Review'This is a seminal work on the causes and consequences of humanitarian intervention. It is comprehensive in scope, innovative in analytical discourse, rigorous in empirical analysis, and rich in policy implications.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Precursor Crimes of Terrorism: The
Book SynopsisThis illuminating book offers a timely assessment of the development and proliferation of precursor crimes of terrorism, exploring the functions and implications of these expanding offences in different jurisdictions. In response to new modes and sources of terrorism, attempts to pre-empt potential attacks through precursor offences have emerged. This book examines not only the meanings and effectiveness of this approach, but also the challenges posed to human rights and social and economic development.Featuring contributions from leading academic and practitioner experts in counter-terrorism law, the book covers the broad scope of activities tackled by these new legal interventions, including membership, collaboration, communications, training and financing. Taking a comparative approach that relies on extensive experience in various jurisdictions, including the UK and Spain, the chapters also discuss important related issues such as international cooperation, investigations and penology, offering insights into the context of policies and practices.Scholars and advanced students of criminal and human rights law with an interest in terrorism and terrorism offences will find this book essential reading. It will also benefit legal practitioners and policy makers in fields such as international criminal law cooperation and counter-terrorism.Trade Review‘This impressive collection of chapters, from internationally respected academics and practitioners with expertise on terrorism and criminal law, tackles an important recent phenomenon. As ever more States seek to counter the threat of terrorism in innovative ways, specialised criminal offences proliferate and expand to reach those who fund, plan, encourage, prepare, or glorify terrorism in the physical and online worlds. The perceived threat posed by terrorism permits legislatures to criminalise more widely and punitively. The need for adequate scrutiny and safeguards is obvious as these offences challenge orthodox definitions and structures of criminal laws and their jurisdictional reach as well as traditional trial processes. The book provides an insightful exploration of the theoretical, social and practical dimensions to pre-cursor offences and offenders, drawing particularly on European experience. It will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and policy makers examining the many challenges that such legislation brings.’ -- David Ormerod CBE, QC, University College London, UK'This work explores and updates the study on the limits of criminal intervention against terrorism. It masterfully combines the study of the fundamentals with a common thread in the "advancement" of the punitive barrier to crimes of expression or crimes of belonging to organisations, without neglecting procedural aspects, cooperation or prison execution. And all of this with a comparative law approach that makes this work a genuinely European contribution to a more contained, legitimate and, at the same time, effective anti-terrorist strategy.' -- Jon-Mirena Landa, Director, UNESCO Chair for Human Rights, University of the Basque Country, SpainTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION 1 Introduction to Precursor Crimes of Terrorism 2 Mariona Llobet Anglí, Manuel Cancio Meliá, and Clive Walker 2 Counter terrorism through precursor crimes 20 Clive Walker PART II CRIMINALISATION OF ANTICIPATORY RISK OF TERRORISM ATTACKS 3 Law as reason vs law as will in the fight against terrorism: from a Hobbesian conception of law to an Orwellian society 44 Aniceto Masferrer and Pedro Talavera 4 The criminalisation of terrorism risk within the European Union: a suitable choice? 56 Francesca Galli 5 Voluntary abandonment related to the crime of membership of a terrorist group 72 Mertxe Landera Luri 6 Precursor crimes in Australia’s anti-terrorism legislation 83 Christopher Michaelsen PART III PRECURSOR COMMUNICATION CRIMES IN RELATION TO TERRORISM 7 The legitimacy of offences criminalising incitement to terrorist acts: a European perspective 99 Anneke Petzsche 8 Twitter after Charlie Hebdo and the Paris Bataclan attacks: identifying and measuring the different types of violent speech on the internet 113 Fernando Miró-Llinares 9 Spanish writing on the wall?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Nexus Between Organized Crime and Terrorism:
Book SynopsisIn the post-9/11 era, the nexus between organized crime and terrorism has raised much concern and has been widely discussed in both academic and policy circles, but is still largely misunderstood. This critical book contributes innovatively to the debate by distinguishing three types of nexus—interaction, transformation/imitation and similarities—and identifying the promoting factors of each type.With its multifaceted but complementary chapters, the book provides conceptual and theoretical frameworks for readers, as well as the evidence needed to develop more realistic, effective and humane policies to tackle organized crime, terrorism and the nexuses between them. Bringing together a range of international multidisciplinary specialists, it includes three comparative analyses of worldwide transfers of personnel, weapons and money between organized crime and terrorism and 12 case studies examining local manifestations of the nexus in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Two other chapters further review the national, European and international policies adopted and implemented so far to deal with the different nexuses.This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers in the fields of comparative law, criminal law and justice and public policy, who specialize in the analysis and control of organized crime and terrorism. It will also appeal to senior law enforcement officials and practitioners due to the counterintuitive policy implications drawn from the comparative analysis of the findings.Trade Review‘This book is a milestone on the road towards a better understanding of the linkages in the underworlds of crime and terror.’ -- Alex P Schmid, Perspectives on Terrorism‘Terrorism is a very 21st century global threat. Organized crime has a distinctly 20th century feel to it yet is often related in the public mind with terrorism. This book explores the variable connections of the two. In some places and at some times they complement each other; at other times and places they compete. Paoli, Fijnaut and Wouters have put together an excellent collection of essays that explore the nexus of the two threats.’ -- Peter Reuter, University of Maryland, USTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction to the nexus between organized crime and terrorism 1 Cyrille Fijnaut, Letizia Paoli and Jan Wouters PART I LITERATURE REVIEW AND CONCEPTUALIZATION 2 Taking stock of the literature on the nexus between organized crime and terrorism 17 Letizia Paoli and Cyrille Fijnaut 3 Conceptualizing the nexus between organized crime and terrorism 48 Letizia Paoli and Cyrille Fijnaut PART II TRANSFER OF RESOURCES 4 Criminal pasts, terrorist futures?

Liverpool University Press Defying the IRA?: Intimidation, coercion, and
Book SynopsisAn Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. This book examines the grass-roots relationship between the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the civilian population during the Irish Revolution. It is primarily concerned with the attempts of the militant revolutionaries to discourage, stifle, and punish dissent among the local populations in which they operated, and the actions or inactions by which dissent was expressed or implied. Focusing on the period of guerilla war against British rule from c. 1917 to 1922, it uncovers the acts of ‘everyday’ violence, threat, and harm that characterized much of the revolutionary activity of this period. Moving away from the ambushes and assassinations that have dominated much of the discourse on the revolution, the book explores low-level violent and non-violent agitation in the Irish town or parish. The opening chapter treats the IRA’s challenge to the British state through the campaign against servants of the Crown – policemen, magistrates, civil servants, and others – and IRA participation in local government and the republican counter-state. The book then explores the nature of civilian defiance and IRA punishment in communities across the island before turning its attention specifically to the year that followed the ‘Truce’ of July 1921. This study argues that civilians rarely operated at either extreme of a spectrum of support but, rather, in a large and fluid middle ground. Behaviour was rooted in local circumstances, and influenced by local fears, suspicions, and rivalries. IRA punishment was similarly dictated by community conditions and usually suited to the nature of the perceived defiance. Overall, violence and intimidation in Ireland was persistent, but, by some contemporary standards, relatively restrained. Additional resources supporting this book can be found on the Liverpool University Press Digital Collaboration Hub (https://liverpooluniversitypress.manifoldapp.org/projects/defying-the-ira) Trade ReviewReviews 'Intellectually serious, impressively researched, and very well written, this book will significantly enhance our understanding of the grassroots dynamics of the Irish Revolution.' Tim Wilson'Hughes makes excellent use of both the Irish and British state record... he represents a vast number of stories of people whose allegiances, loyalties or histories cannot be neatly summarised or easily dismissed.' Deaglan Page, Belfast Books'This is a first class piece of work and will be indispensable to those interested in the history of ordinary people in Ireland during the war of independence as well as university level students of Irish and British history.'Declan O' Reilly, British Journal of Military History'Defying the IRA? will certainly entice established readers of the period, and, at the same time, presents frameworks for further research. Moreover, its synthesis of established works on revolutionary violence by Augusteijn, Dolan, Fitzpatrick, and Townshend suggests that Hughes has presented a new starting point for the next generation of Irish scholars.'Justin Dolan Stover, History: Reviews of New Books'The book is meticulously researched, but is particularly effective when combining papers from the Bureau of Military History and the records of the Irish Grants Committee. Collating these Irish and British materials has enabled Hughes to expose the complex ways in which ordinary citizens, caught in the cross-fire of revolution, interpreted the course of events around them, as well as their own loyalties. ... Hughes has established a compelling new dimension within the apparently well-worn story of Ireland's war of independence.'Alvin Jackson, The English Historical Review'Brian Hughes's formidable study Defying the IRA? Intimidation, coercion, and communities during the Irish Revolution succeeds in explaining "everyday" Irish civilian life in the deliberate form of historical enquiry ... This timely volume convinces of the need to discover questions as answers in archives. Its combined weight of archival evidence, and commitment to empirical enquiry, mark this book as an invaluable modern-day document to the traditions of Irish historical studies.'Darragh Gannon, Irish Literary Supplement'This book will be a very useful exemplar for students of the revolution who should now consider this new angle in the many studies of the War of Independence, especially at the local and community level, that are likely to be produced to coincide with the centenary of Irish independence.'Marie Coleman, Journal of Social History Table of ContentsList of Figures and TablesAcknowledgementsList of AbbreviationsNote on the TextIntroduction1 Intimidating the Crown2 Collecting the Rates: Dáil Éireann Local Government and the IRA3 Civilians and Communities I: Non-cooperation and Defiance4 Civilians and Communities II: Coercion and Punishment5 Defying the IRA in Belfast6 Old Enemies?

Liverpool University Press The Strategy of Tension in Italy: Neofascist
Book SynopsisThe third wave of terrorism in Europe has been the subject of numerous studies after David Rapoport's theoretical classification, especially as it relates to New Left/Marxist/Socialist activity. But one of its components has not hitherto been subject to scholarly investigation: the Italian neo-fascist terrorism that committed indiscriminate massacres as part of an alleged strategy of stoking political tension. There is evidence that members of the intelligence services and security forces contributed to cover-ups and indeed the neo-fascist murders that took place may have been aimed at creating an atmosphere favourable to a coup d'etat. While conspiracy theories abound there is little in-depth academic research on the circumstances despite the many sources available to researchers: court rulings, evidence gathered by various parliamentary commissions of enquiry and recently declassified official documents. Juan Avilés' comprehensive study of the neo-fascist killings, the coup plots, the cover-ups and the alleged but unproven involvement of US agents, the Stay Behind paramilitary structure and the P2 Masonic Lodge, draws a firm line of demarcation between the real conspiracies that took place in Italy and unfounded conspiracy theories. He offers an unparalleled interpretation of the alleged strategy of creating political tension based on all the available evidence. At the heart of the investigation is the threat to democracy and the way in which Italy was able to avoid the authoritarian drift to which many countries, from Greece to Chile, succumbed in those years. The lessons learned have far-reaching implications for all nations that subscribe to democratic values.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Italian Mafias Today: Territory, Business and
Book SynopsisDespite a rapidly changing economic and legal landscape, Italian mafias remain prominent actors in the global criminal underworld. This book provides an extensive and up-to-date view of how they adapt to shifting economic opportunities and intensifying legal and civic backlash. Surveying the main Italian mafias active today - Cosa Nostra, the 'Ndrangheta, the Camorra and the Sacra Corona Unita - the contributors provide a broad overview of key themes and research findings, offering new theoretical and methodological lenses for analysing how Italy's four native mafias have adapted to recent challenges. Investigating their global and national impact, this book analyses new insights into the operations and trajectories of Italian mafias in the 21st century. Employing fresh empirical material, this book is essential reading for students of Italian studies at all levels, as well as those of criminology, security, political science, sociology and organised crime studies. Policy-makers and practitioners tackling organised crime will also benefit from this book's critical insight into the history, operation and pathways of Italian mafias today. Contributors include: F.

Massari, R. Merlino, V. Mete, S. Sberna, R. Sciarrone, L. Storti, A. VannucciTrade Review‘This book should appeal, in primis, to criminologists and social scientists. However, I would strongly recommend it to anyone who may have an academic or personal interest in understanding recent Italian history. Above all, I would recommend it to law- and policy-makers internationally, for Italy's long tug-of-war with the mafias has many useful lessons to teach to countries and communities that have not yet experienced the scourge of criminal power syndicates operating in their midst, or that collude with such syndicates by offering far-from-transparent financial services—hence contributing to the enormous human suffering and grave social devastation that the mafias have been causing since the 19 century.’ -- Giorgio Baruchello, Nordicum-Mediterraneum‘By merit of its scope, topics of inquiry and analytical rigor, Italian Mafias Today: Territory, Business and Politics makes valuable, unique contributions to the diversified field of studies on the Italian mafias.’ -- Robin Pickering-Iazzi, Journal of Modern Italian Studies‘Overall, the significant contribution of this book is to represent a landmark in the organised crime literature. It provides theoretical insights into this complex issue which extends the reader’s knowledge and provides a critical understanding of the phenomenon. The language is clear, and the variety of empirical and fresh data presented makes it intriguing for readers. It is highly recommended for students interested in this topic and for academics/practitioners intending to expand their understanding further.’ -- Emanuele Sclafani, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books'This book is a welcome exposure to research on four Italian mafias - the already well-studied Sicilian Cosa Nostra and the Neapolitan Camorra; the less familiar, although hyper-dangerous, Calabrian 'Ndrangheta; and the somewhat peripheral mafia of Puglia, emergent in the 1970s and '80s. We are beholden to the editors of this volume for making this material accessible to English language readers, organizing it so effectively, and providing a comprehensive overview of Italian scholarship on the Italian mafias.' --Jane Schneider, The Graduate Center CUNY, US'This is not a book that lingers long on individual characters. It is a documented assessment of the history and evolution of the four major Italian-based criminal organizations.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book provides an analysis of the central ethical issues that have arisen in combatting global terrorism and, in particular, jihadist terrorist groups, notably Al Qaeda, Islamic State and their affiliates. Chapters explore the theoretical problems that arise in relation to terrorism, such as the definition of terrorism and the concept of collective responsibility, and consider specific ethical issues in counter-terrorism.The book discusses a range of key topics including targeted killing, enhanced interrogation of terrorists, preventive detention, freedom of expression and terrorist content on social media, bulk metadata collection and responding to terrorist attacks that use weapons of mass destruction. It also explores ethical issues that have often been neglected, such as psychological warfare and stings. Taking a practical approach, the book offers recommendations for resolving these ethical problems in counter-terrorism. Integrating philosophical and legal analysis with empirical evidence, this book will be critical reading for scholars and students of human rights, international relations and terrorism and security law. Its use of specific examples of terrorist organisations, tactics and outcomes will also be valuable for policy-makers in the field.Trade Review‘Counter-Terrorism: The Ethical Issues provides a thorough and systematic introduction into the ethics of counter-terrorism. Drawing on leading experts in the field and aimed at a wider audience, it clarifies the philosophical foundations, covers widely discussed special topics, and expands the debate to so far understudied but nonetheless important legal and moral issues. Combining theoretical and analytical depth with a simultaneous realistic focus on practice, it offers excellent politically relevant scholarship on a pressing issue of our times.’Table of ContentsContents: Introduction to counter-terrorism: the ethical issues 1 1 Preventive criminal law: terrorist crimes and liberal democratic values 10 Mitt Regan and Alexandra L.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd EU, Turkey and Counter-Terrorism: Fighting the
Book SynopsisThis perceptive analysis examines the effect of the EU on Turkish counter-terrorism polices towards the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and the Islamic State (ISIL), and aims to investigate the extent to which the EU has developed the capacity to play a role in Turkish counter-terrorism policy through promoting democratisation.The book analyses the EU's normative role in Turkey during four distinct periods: the inertia (1984-1999), the conditional transformation (1999-2004), the social transformation (2004-2015), and the backsliding periods (2015-2020). Ethem Ilbiz and Christian Kaunert consider how the paradigm shifts in Turkish counter-terrorism policies that occurred during these periods have their basis in different domestic and EU-level factors. Exploring the EU's relations with candidate countries, the book highlights how its influence on Turkey is connected to the viable prospect of Turkey's membership.Examining one of the most important policy areas of European integration, this book will be critical reading for academics and students of European politics and policy, international relations, terrorism and security, and regional studies. It will also be beneficial for practitioners, politicians, and non-governmental and civil society organizations.Trade Review'In EU, Turkey and Counter-Terrorism, Ethem Ilbiz and Christian Kaunert offer an original theoretical and empirical account of the EU's norm diffusion role in the transformation of Turkey's counterterrorism policies. While primarily focusing on formal rule adoption and the PKK and ISIL, the authors go beyond the familiar post-9/11 narratives to untangle the EU impact on the counterterrorism policies in a key membership candidate country. As such, the volume offers innovative insights on both the EU's normative power and the EU’s international security actorness.' -- Oldrich Bures, Metropolitan University Prague, Czech Republic‘To sum up, the book provides a critical theoretical and historical framework to understand the EU’s norm diffusion role in the counter-terror domain, with the subject only limited to Tu¨rkiye and its policies toward the PKK and ISIS.’ -- Bu¨sra .ztu¨rk, Insight TurkeyTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Counterterrorism and Investigative Detention:
Book SynopsisCounterterrorism and Investigative Detention explores the practice of investigative detention of terrorist suspects in the legal systems of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. In addition to illuminating the characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of various investigative detention regimes, this book examines ways in which international law and national security imperatives have served as vectors for change and convergence in these otherwise divergent legal systems.The chapters include an examination of the way in which each country has experienced and confronted terrorism; an overview of each country's legal system; a detailed analysis of each country's counterterrorism laws; and a discussion of the ways in which international law has impacted their respective counterterrorism approaches. This book, therefore, is situated at the nexus of comparative law, international law, and national security, providing scholars and policymakers with insight into how different countries with contrasting legal traditions address a common national security threat.This compelling discussion of how different legal systems use their detention laws to address the threat of terrorism will be of interest to comparative lawyers, international lawyers, and national security professionals.Trade Review‘Dan Stigall provides a compelling explanation that the inevitable tension between security requirements and civil liberty imperatives never allows for clean-cut solutions, and instead Americans must insist on processes that allow both requirements to peacefully vie with each other, and accept the reality that the best outcomes result from compromise.’ -- Lieutenant General (retired) Michael K. Nagata, US Army'Dan Stigall is the perfect person to write this important book: an experienced practitioner and skilled academic who carefully navigates the complexities of investigative detention such that expert and novice both walk away better informed and maybe even questioning their own assumptions.' -- Matthew Levitt, The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, USTable of ContentsContents: Foreword by Colonel Christopher P.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Evolution of Information-sharing in EU
Book SynopsisThrough a pioneering analysis of two critical junctures in EU counter-terrorism, this topical book examines the drivers, conditions and impediments for policy integration and information-exchange institutionalisation in EU counter-terrorism. Taking a deep dive into the key questions surrounding EU counter-terrorism, Christine Andreeva utilises distinct terrorism case studies over two decades to investigate the evolution of information-sharing in EU counter-terrorism. Using an innovative theoretical framework combining historical and constructivist institutionalism, the book examines key events in EU counter-terrorism development: the 2015-2016 Paris and Brussels attacks and the 2004-2005 Madrid and London attacks. Identifying a post-2015 paradigm policy shift, the book traces the increased efficiency of cross-border and inter-agency co-ordination in the EU’s counter-terrorism policy. Andreeva demonstrates how institutionalisation, information-sharing and improved legislative frameworks have led to further policy integration and added significant value to international EU counter-terrorism efforts.Illustrating the importance of practitioners’ perception of EU added value in counter-terrorism, this book will be essential to scholars and students of public policy, particularly those studying EU and international politics and EU counter-terrorism. Its empirical findings will also be useful to policymakers and practitioners in security and counter-terrorism fields.Trade Review‘Christine Andreeva’s The Evolution of Information-sharing in EU Counter-terrorism: A Post-2015 Paradigm Shift? makes a timely empirical and theoretical contribution to EU counter-terrorism policy institutionalisation. Drawing upon historical and constructivist institutionalism, this well-researched book explains the institutional changes in EU counter-terrorism by accounting for both structural and cognitive causality. As such, it represents essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of EU tools and instruments in the fight against terrorism.’ -- Oldrich Bures, Metropolitan University Prague, Czech RepublicTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook on Democracy and Security
Book SynopsisThe Handbook on Democracy and Security offers an insightful new interpretation of the topic that reframes the contemporary challenge of democracy away from competing ideologies or external existential threats, and centres on the security of democracy in the minds and lived experience of its citizens. With a global focus, it provides a cutting edge understanding of contemporary developments in democratic breakdown, investigating the role of new media, social media and the Internet. Expert contributors explore how democracy is affected by the resurgence of populism, terrorism and migration alongside the decline of independent mass media and associated conspiracy theories. The Handbook further argues that the security of government by the people is best understood through the security of people and examines the analysis of democratic security. Providing a diverse range of perspectives on how democratic breakdown occurs, this Handbook will be an excellent read for political scientists interested in human security and the effect of social media on democracy. Policymakers interested in policy prescriptions and stabilizing democratic backsliding will also find this an illuminating and informative resource.Trade Review‘This Handbook on Democracy and Security provides a fascinating analysis of the predominant causes of democratic erosion facing the world today. The book's contributors define and bound new threats – such as the double-edged sword of “militant democracy” – as well as reexamine long-standing threats – such as the triumphs and pitfalls of democracy assistance. Part IV of the book, in particular, offers keen insights regarding how online media both bolster and undermine democracy. This Handbook should be required reading for any democratization student, scholar or practitioner.’ -- Brigitte Seim, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, US‘In light of the current “third wave” of autocratization worldwide, understanding the factors that sustain democracy is more critical than ever. This volume makes a valuable contribution to that understanding by exploring this at a micro level, focusing on the human factors and security of individual citizens that undergird democratic institutions. It is an extremely timely and very important work.’ -- Staffan I.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Modern History of Maritime Terrorism: From the
Book SynopsisA Modern History of Maritime Terrorism: From the Fenian Ram to Explosive-Laden Drone Boats is a comprehensive and insightful examination of the evolution of maritime terrorism in the modern era. Navigating the past, present and future of maritime terrorism, Peter Lehr outlines its history and definitions, its current manifestations, locations and actors, and its possible future trajectories.Structured in three key parts, this book takes a critical and historical approach to the study of maritime terrorism. Focussing on the terrorist actors’ perspectives, chapters investigate existing academic literature, official reports, newspaper articles and the actors’ own descriptions of their acts of terrorism. Lehr considers the motivations and expectations behind why terrorists take terrorism to the sea; the weapons and tactics used to do so; where they struck, and against what; and ultimately what they achieved. Considering the lessons learned from the history of maritime terrorism, the book concludes with an examination of the near-future trajectories it could take.A vivid and detailed account of the various forms of maritime terrorism that have emerged in the last century, this topical book will be invaluable to students and scholars of international relations, terrorism and security studies, and maritime politics and policy. Its comparative analysis of the patterns in the actors, locations and tactics in maritime terrorism will prove useful to practitioners seeking to plan and execute counter-terrorism operations.Trade Review‘Peter Lehr has produced an outstanding book on the history of maritime terrorism. By providing historical insights about our understanding of maritime terrorism with an in-depth analysis of highly interesting contemporary case studies, the book makes a substantial contribution to our understanding of both the historical and empirical dynamics of the phenomenon. Indeed, this is an excellent book which provides a very interesting and compelling analysis of an important and largely under-researched topic.’ -- Christian Kaunert, Dublin City University, Ireland and University of South Wales, UK‘Peter Lehr’s A Modern History of Maritime Terrorism addresses an important and neglected area of terrorism studies. The potential for maritime terror has escalated dramatically since the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole. Lehr’s study offers a compelling, thoughtful and well-researched account of the history of maritime terrorism, its current manifestations, locations and perpetrators and potential future trajectories.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Terrorism
Book SynopsisThis two-volume set presents a comprehensive selection of some of the most significant published papers and articles on terrorism. The collection examines terrorism from a variety of perspectives, including state terror. Beginning with a section on concepts of terrorism, it first considers the causes and nature of regimes of terror. It then concentrates on terrorist groups in society and in a search for explanations, it investigates the relationship between terrorism and religion, the underlying causes for the rise of terrorist groups and the relation of these groups to new social movements. Psychological and rational choice explanations are also explored. Several articles study the organization of terrorist groups and their strategy and tactics. A final section deals with methods of counteracting terrorism.The editor has written an authoritative introduction which highlights the centrality to terrorism of the killing of innocents and draws important lessons from the topics covered in the collection.Trade Review'. . . this edition should be on the book lists for all serious courses in terrorism studies. Especially today, when institutes and research centres are newly established to specialize in terrorism research, we should not neglect the knowledge that has already been elaborated and accumulated on this phenomenon. As we know, the view is better from the shoulders of giants.' -- Matenia Sirseloudi, Ethnic Conflict Research Digest'This two-volume set could be considered the mother of all terrorism compilations since its 950+ pages provide a discerning selection of readings on the topic of terrorism. . . For those with an abiding interest in the topic of terrorism and a need for historic precedents in order to understand the present situation, this set of readings would be a valuable addition to their personal library. . . It would appear to be a worthwhile asset for a specialized research center or project team with an ongoing interest in terrorism research.' -- Clare B. Rubin, Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management'Rosemary O'Kane's collection provides a unique and invaluable service. She shows that systematic academic studies of the use of terror started over 50 years ago, that they have encompassed regimes of terror as well as non-state terrorism, and that scholars analysing problems of democratic response to terrorism have constantly warned against the twin perils of over-reaction, which undermines democracy and human rights of law, and under-reaction, which would allow the terrorists to threaten public security and the rule of law. It should be on the booklists for all serious courses in terrorism studies.' -- Paul Wilkinson, University of St. Andrews, UKTable of ContentsContents: Volume I Acknowledgements Introduction: Theorizing Terrorism Rosemary H.T.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Globalisation and the New Terror: The Asia
Book SynopsisThis rigorously analytical yet readable book examines trends in new terror - understood here to be the capacity of sub-state actors to secure religious or politically motivated objectives by violent means. The contributors argue that whilst the use of violence to achieve political ends is scarcely original, what distinguishes new terror is its potential for lethality. This, combined with its evolving capacity to draw upon the resources of globalisation, particularly the revolution in communications which has advanced global markets, has also rendered them, and the more developed core states in the international trading order, increasingly vulnerable to asymmetric threats.The book's objectives are to: examine the character of new terror and its ambivalent relationship to the evolving cybernetic order made possible by technology and globalisation identify emerging trends and threats in terrorism including cyber-terrorism, eco-terrorism, bombings and CBR material consider the implications of these characteristics for the Asia Pacific region. This careful examination of the key paradox facing the modern condition, namely that the freedoms of communication themselves facilitate terror cells aimed at unravelling the prevailing order, will be of great interest to academics and researchers of contemporary politics, international relations, business, and Asian studies. The lay reader will also find the book accessible.Trade Review'This thought provoking and insightful study into the theoretical and policy implications of the new terrorism is particularly timely and welcome because much remains obscure in this field. The book provides valuable insight into not just the nature of terrorism, the tactics and strategies used by terrorists, and the responses available to western states, but also into asymmetric threats as a defining feature of contemporary conflict. It is also one of the few serious attempts to understand the strategies and financing of terror networks in the Asia Pacific region.' -- Alice Hills, Joint Services Command and Staff College, King's College, London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Part I: Theorising New Terror Part II: Terror Tactics and Asymmetric Strategies – New and Old Part III: Implications for the Asia Pacific Part IV: Towards a Conclusion Bibliography Index

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Terrorism in Western Europe: Explaining the
Book SynopsisThis important book examines why terrorism prevails in the otherwise stable and advanced democracies of Western Europe and why some countries have been more severely hit than others.Whilst Western Europe today seems relatively peaceful, some countries in this region have, in fact, experienced significantly high levels of terrorism for decades. Moreover, the threat has not only come from international terrorists operating in Europe but as a result of internal conflicts which have produced terrorist campaigns conducted by groups originating in the countries themselves. The author maps the trends in internal terrorism in 18 Western European countries since 1950 and explains those trends, both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. He uses a unique data set called TWEED, which covers around 9000 terrorist attacks and records the activities of about 200 terrorist groups over the post-war period.Offering a historical and comparative approach to terrorism, unlike the more usual focus on contemporary threats and developments, this book will appeal to political and social scientists and students, especially those working in comparative politics or on the causes of conflict. Academics interested in European studies and more specifically the conditions and developments of European democracy, and policymakers concerned with the development of the terrorist threat in Europe will also find the book of great interest.Trade Review'. . . an important advancement in both the theory and analysis of domestic terrorism. His conceptualization of terrorism as a communicative action undertaken by political actors is lucid and largely convincing. Above all, his TWEED dataset fills a crucial void that has hamstrung empirical scholars of terrorist violence for some time, and represents an indispensable resource for future scholars.' -- Dennis M. Foster, The Journal of Conflict Studies'Jan Oskar Engene's book on terrorism in Western Europe is an analytical tour de force that supplies the badly needed macro-political dimension to comparing Western European systems with regard to the impact of terrorism in the years from 1950 to 1995. Based mainly on events data and casualty statistics, it is impeccably reasoned and carried out with panache.' -- Peter H. Merkl, Professor Emeritus, Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara, US'Since "9-11" terrorism has become a hot topic. In Western Europe it has been simmering and bubbling up for a long time and invites therefore, indeed necessitates, wide-ranging comparative study based on solid empirical evidence collected over time. In this book Jan Oskar Engene has done exactly that. He generates valuable event data and investigates patterns of terrorism throughout Western Europe between 1950 and 1995. Through empirical analysis he also offers an explanation for why some Western European countries are more subject to terrorism than others. His view that terrorist acts are directed not simply against the state but also as a means of communication to the terrorists' audience of supporters and sympathisers is insightful.' -- Rosemary H.T.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Terrorism and the International Business
Book SynopsisThis book was born from the editor's conviction that a wide set of contributors should provide the economic and corporate sectors with guidelines, developed from rigorous research and case studies, to analyse those adjustments made necessary through international terrorism, as known since September 11th 2001. It argues that corporate asset protection and accurate business risk assessment is vital to the longevity, and resilience of business. The volume reveals how the pre-9/11-era of contemporary economic history gave birth to a nexus of a) globalization b) increased systemic vulnerability and complexity and c) the transitions of terrorism. As a result, the post-9/11-era is one which should incorporate risk analysis audits on a regular basis, political and geopolitical risk research, the use of quantitative risk assessment and qualitative risk analysis to implement risk strategy planning, its management and appropriate risk transfer considerations. The formulated call of this work is for diplomacy and business to incorporate the knowledge and lessons of international threat, security and disaster. Their management may reveal important competitive advantages in the long run.Terrorism and the International Business Environment will appeal to a wide audience of risk strategists, CEOs of MNCs, credit risk analysts, as well as academics of international business and politics.Table of ContentsContents: Preface 1.

Liverpool University Press Fatah and the Politics of Violence: The
Book SynopsisThe institutionalisation of Fatah mirrors the evolution of the PLO and the Palestinian national cause generally. Understanding the factors that have influenced Fatah's politics of violence, and its political path -- and the balance between the two -- help to explain the political history of the Middle East in recent decades. Fatah's institutionalisation is marked by alternating bases of the organisation's legitimacy: organisational, communal, and external. Transformations from one phase to another are distinguished by the shifts in relative importance assigned to the different sources of legitimacy, which in turn dictated different courses of action for the organisation.Trade Review"Dr. Kurz's analysis of the origins and evolutionary dynamics of the organizational change of the Palestinian Fatah is a unique contribution to both fields of political science and Middle Eastern politics. By virtue of proceeding beyond the descriptive and idiographic level of analysis, this book elucidates in a most compelling and impressive way the processes by which Fatah emerged as a significant actor on the Middle Eastern stage. These processes incorporated the gradual acquisition of intra-organizational, communal and international legitimacy." -- Professor Abraham Ben-Zvi, Department of Government, Georgetown University, Washington DC."Anat Kurz has written a unique book whose relevance goes beyond its empirical setting. She, among all other scholars, understands that popular fronts are not simply emotional and violent expressions from frustrated political ambitions. She understands that such movements cannot be dismissed and relegated to the periphery of the state or civil society. She understands that in order to confront such movements, in order to live with them, co-opt them, diffuse them, or integrate them, it behoves us to understand their organizational dynamics. Anat Kurz, and Anat Kurz alone, has brought organizational analysis to these 21st century issues. She has combined historical knowledge with political theory, organizational theory, and years of experience to create a book which stands alone in its importance in showing that popular movements are, if nothing else, organizational phenomena. This is an ingeniously clever volume." -- Samuel B. Bacharach, McKelvey-Grant Professor of Labor-Management Relations; Director, Institute for Workplace Studies; Director, Smithers Institute, Cornell University."This is a welcome application of the analytical tools of social science - and of organizational theory more particularly - to explain the political and military behavior of the Palestinian national movement Fatah over nearly five decades. By focusing on Fatah's institutional development, and by situating its fluctuation between violent and non-violent strategies in different phases within this analytical context, Kurz takes us beyond the emotive and Manichean terminology of 'terrorism' to a clearer, hence more useful, understanding of popular struggles and the courses they take." -- Professor Yezid Sayigh, Chair in Middle East Studies, Department of War Studies, Kings College London.Table of ContentsIntroduction; The Institutional Analysis of Popular Struggles; Fatah's Struggle for Institutionalisation; The First Institutional Phase, 1959-65: Regulative Formation; The Second Institutional Phase, 1965-67: Coming to the Surface; The Third Institutional Phase, 1967-1968: Violent Mobilisation in Action; The Fourth Institutional Phase, 1968-1970: Regulative Challenges, Political Opportunities; The Fifth Institutional Phase, 1971-1973: Reconstruction; The Sixth Institutional Phase, 1974-1982: Violent Lead, Political Backup; The Seventh Institutional Phase, 1983-87: Time Out; The Eighth Institutional Phase, 1988-1993: Political Lead, Violent Backup; Epilogue: New Setting, Old Dilemmas; Conclusion.

Liverpool University Press Effectively Countering Terrorism: The Challenges
Book SynopsisSince September 11, 2001, the pressure on Al Qaeda has increased. Training sanctuaries and havens have been eliminated, and numerous fighters of the organisation have been killed, captured or are in hiding. Today, Al Qaeda can be understood -- according to many analysts -- much more as an ideological platform than an operative terror organisation: Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri cannot provide tactical leadership. But they pose a new, more virtual threat insofar as recruitment, training and indoctrination, as well as propaganda, have moved to small cell operations in virtually every country, under the Al Qaeda ideological banner. The stark fact is that the execution of the global war on terrorism has not decreased international terrorism directed against the West. In view of this apparent failure of present strategies, the editors have sought the opinions of eight distinguished scholars and experts in the field to reflect on the following questions: What additional actions are required in counter-terrorism policy to reverse the increase in terror-directed activities? What are the main shortcomings of current policy initiatives? And, what policy recommendations can they make as a result of recent developments in counter-terrorism theory and new data on terror perpetrators and incidents? Their answers set out in this volume provide important contributions -- academic, scientific, and practical -- to the debate on how to effectively counter terrorism, which methods to pursue, and which means to apply. The volume is structured in three parts: Possible anticipatory actions in the context of counter-terrorism and prevention; the question of reasonable reaction to a perceived or real threat; and discussion on the effects of an attack and how to deal with them.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Ideology in Terrorism & Counter-Terrorism: Lessons from Combating al-Qaeda and al-Jemaah al-Islamiyah in Southeast Asia; The Root Causes of Terrorism: How to Address Them; Escaping the Prisoners Dilemma: Securing a Role for Human Rights in Counter-Terrorism; Teaching an Old Paradigm New Tricks: The Poverty of Traditional Security Responses to Transnational Terrorism; When International Counter-Terrorism Succeeds: Lessons from the Defeat of the '17 November Revolutionary Organisation'; The Sinews of War: The Financing of Terrorist Groups; The Effective Countering of Terrorism: Logistical & Operational Countermeasures; The Next Terror Attack: The Centrality of Media & Public Information in Preparedness Planning; Conclusion: How to Increase the Effectiveness of Counter-Terrorism; Index.

Liverpool University Press Global Jihad and the Tactic of Terror Abduction:
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, the taking of hostages has proven to be a particularly effective tactic for Islamic terrorist organizations worldwide, including al Qaeda. The global jihad movement regards citizens of foreign (mainly western) countries as prime targets for abduction, although in fact local residents have constituted the majority of kidnapping victims. This book analyzes Islamic terror abductions over the last 30 years in the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia), Asia (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and the Philippines), Africa (the Maghreb, the Sahel regions, and Somalia), and in Russia as a part of the Russian-Chechen conflict. Discussion also focuses on the abduction by Hizballah of Israeli soldiers, the Second Lebanon War of 2006, the Mumbai terror attack (2008), the Chechen hostage crisis in Moscow and Beslan (2002 and 2004), the kidnapping of employees of the Algerian In Amenas gas facility by al Qaeda of the Maghreb' in January 2013 and the Nairobi "Westgate Mall" hostage crisis in September 2013. The role of Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, and its patronage of terror organizations that utilize the tactic of abduction to promote Iranian interests in Lebanon and Iraq, is highlighted throughout. Discussion focuses on the challenges faced by countries whose citizens have been abducted by Islamic terror organizations and their reactions to these challenges, and provides theoretical classifications of the phenomenon of terrorism in general and terror abduction in particular.

Liverpool University Press Islamic Terror Abductions in the Middle East
Book SynopsisThis book investigates abductions, hostage taking, beheadings, and global jihad influences in four theatres in the Middle East over the last 25 years (1980-2005): Israel (as a part of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict), Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq. It includes discussion of the William Buckley, William Higgins and "Iran gate" abductions. The "Nahshon Waxman" affair -- the Israeli soldier abducted and murdered by HAMAS in 1994 -- is presented as a case study in understanding the four major phases of an abduction -- preparation and planning; carrying out the abduction; negotiations; and the rescue attempt. Terrorist organisations use abduction as a tool for promotion of their and their patrons' interests. Examination of Middle East abductions, and the relations/correlations between Islamic terrorist organisations and Iran, demonstrates Iran's role as a terror supporting state, and the promotion of Iranian interests by its terrorist surrogates. The research examines the challenge posed by terrorist organisations for countries whose citizens have been abducted and the answers to that challenge, and provides theoretical classifications of the terror phenomenon in general and abductions/beheadings in particular.Trade Review"The world of political terror abductions keeps growing, and this book is an excellent introduction.

Liverpool University Press Israel and Islamic Terror Abductions: 1986-2016
Book SynopsisKidnapping constitutes a central component in the attack repertoire of terror organisations. It is a means of promoting the goals of their organisations and their patrons. Since the 1960s, Israel has been extorted by terrorist organisations holding Israeli soldiers and civilians hostage, only to be returned in a deal securing the release of imprisoned members of these terror organisations. Since the 1980s, in the wake of the Islamic revolution in Iran and the ascent of a terror-supporting regime in that country, Islamic terror entities such as the Lebanese Hezbollah organisation and the Palestinian Hamas movement have become preeminent in the Middle East in all matters connected to terror in general, and kidnappings in particular. This study analyses the challenges that radical Islamic groups pose and the response of Israel relating to abductions in Lebanon via the Hezbollah organisation (1983-2016), and abductions in Israel via the Hamas movement (1989-2016). The main debates about prisoner exchange within Israeli society revolve around the following questions: (1) Does conceding to terrorists lead to further kidnappings? and (2) Do the terrorists that are released return to terrorist activity? The challenge issued by terror organisations to Israel whose citizens have been kidnapped, and the way Israel has risen to that challenge, is the prime focus of this study. It follows two earlier books by the author published by Sussex Academic on the regional and global aspects of terror abductions.Trade ReviewReviews of the authors earlier work (2007) include: The world of political terror abductions keeps growing, and this book is an excellent introduction.

Liverpool University Press Las dos Españas: Terror and Crisis in
Book SynopsisThe idea of a divided Spain, where one half is antagonistic to the other half, dates back at least to the 19th-century Spanish satirist Mariano José de Larra who, in his essay 'All Souls Day 1836', wrote 'Here lies half of Spain. It died of the other half.' The narrative of las dos Españas is evident across many political and historical debates operating in the Spanish state, and contemporarily it shadows and informs national issues from Catalan independence to the teaching of history in schools. But it is most polemical in debates concerning the issue of terror in all its manifestations. Las dos Españas takes a multidisciplinary approach in understanding narratives of terror in contemporary Spain, in an attempt to contextualise terrorism socially and politically, as well as ideologically. Selective case studies of terror related events in the Spanish state will include the long-running Basque conflict, the state-sponsored death squad (GAL) scandal in the 1980s, the March 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid, and other terror episodes. The author argues that these terror-related events can be re-read in terms of traces and links to long-standing historical narratives. However, since the onset of the global economic crisis in 2009, and its devastating effect on Spanish society, narratives of economic crisis have begun to supersede narratives of terror in the construction of the two Spains. The conclusion drawn is that the narrative of las dos Españas still has the power to continue to divide Spain ideologically in political discourse. Terror and crisis narratives are intertwined with the narrative of las dos Españas to provide a coherent argument that allows one to better understand the subversive nature of contemporary Spanish politics. Published in association with the Canada Blanch Centre for Contemporary Spanish Studies, LSE.Trade ReviewThe idea of the Two Spains has long been a dominant theme in Spanish historical narrative. Nicholas Manganas achievement in Las dos Espanas: Terror and Crisis in Contemporary Spain is to make it newly relevant by reframing it within todays context of terror politics. Timely, well written and clearly structured, the book guides us through the complexities of identity politics and media narratives in contemporary Spain.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Dealing with Terrorism – Stick or Carrot?
Book SynopsisEmphasising a positive approach to dealing with terrorism (the carrot), this book provides a critique of deterrence policy (the stick) which can be ineffective and even counterproductive, and proposes three alternative and effective anti-terrorist policies: Decentralisation reduces vulnerability to terrorist attacks. A system with many different centres is more stable due to its diversity, enabling one part to substitute for another. Positive incentives can be offered to actual and prospective terrorists not to engage in violent acts. Incentives include: reintegrating terrorists into society, welcoming repentents and offering them valued opportunities. Diverting attention by naming several terrorist groups potentially responsible for a particular terrorist act. The government thus supplies more information than the terrorist responsible would wish.The proposed anti-terrorist policy has two important advantages over a coercive policy. The whole interaction between terrorists and the government transforms into a positive sum game and the strategy undermines the cohesiveness of the terrorist organisation. Surveying empirical results on the effects of terrorism on the economy and society, Bruno Frey demonstrates the strength of an economic approach to terrorism, which will be of great interest to social and also political scientists, public policy scholars, international relations experts and researchers, and above all, economists. The alternatives to deterrence illustrated in the book are advantageous for the general public and politicians, and the actuality that a positive policy is better than a coercive policy will be of great appeal to educators.Trade Review'Bruno Frey has produced a thoughtful and provocative discourse on the application of economic thinking to policies dealing with terrorism.' -- Anthony M.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Economic Impacts of Terrorist Attacks
Book SynopsisFocussing on the economics of terrorism in the post 9/11 world, this book brings together original research based on the collaborative efforts of leading economists and planners.The authoritative and expert contributors use a variety of methodological approaches and apply them to different types of terrorist attacks (on airports, highways, seaports, electric power infrastructure, for example). They also draw analogies between man-made and natural disasters. The results suggest that these issues are extremely complex and that the economic costs of some types of attack are huge, but that increased understanding and estimation can be used to justify resource investments in prevention, mitigation and response. A primary aim of the book is to contribute to developing more cost-effective anti-terrorist policies. Scholars and researchers in the fields of transportation, public sector economics, urban planning, disaster prevention, mitigation and management, and engineers will find The Economic Impacts of Terrorist Attacks a major contribution to a new and rapidly expanding research area.Trade Review'These papers enhance our understanding of numerous aspects of the terrorism problem.' -- Andrew Haughwout, Papers in Regional Science‘The Economic Impact of Terrorist Attacks exposes the reader to a healthy sampling of the current approaches that researchers have taken in addressing a challenging set of economic problems.' -- Jared C.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Controlling Arms and Terror in the Asia Pacific:
Book SynopsisYears after 9/11, the Global War on Terror is still not over. The deepening crisis in Iraq has been accompanied by rising violence in Asia, as the bombings in Indonesia show. The 18 specialists and policymakers who have contributed to this book assess how the security scenario in the Asia Pacific has changed in response to these events.The Asia Pacific is rent by communal conflicts that have generated local jihads, which fuel regional and global jihads. This book assesses state responses to terrorism, paying attention to neglected factors such as money laundering, the emerging role of the EU, the growing fear of the US and increasing concern about the way anti-terrorist legislation curtails civil liberties. With the benefit of extensive fieldwork and access to unique sources in many languages, the contributors analyze key features of the local security scenarios. Pakistan's precarious situation is explored here from many angles, including Islamic militancy, the role of the military and the peace process with India. Again, domestic failures support regional and global terror. Regional anti-terrorist collaboration is also hampered by South-east Asia's counter-terrorism dilemmas, setbacks in the Philippine-US security relationship, the Asian arms race, and growing fears of the US National Missile Defence system and how this system will be perceived by China. The history of state sponsored terrorism and millenarian ideology are crucial to these regional scenarios. The latter, in the particular form of Japan's Aum Shinrikyo movement, reminds us that militant Islamists are not uniquely destructive. An important addition to the literature on terrorism and security, this in-depth and comprehensive analysis of a complex and increasingly unstable region will be welcomed by political scientists, scholars, policymakers, and those seeking a better understanding of whether the Global War on Terror has changed the security architecture of the Asia Pacific in a positive way.Trade Review'. . . well-thought-out approach to the topic and the presentation of needed, broad and deep insights.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Globalisation and the New Terror: The Asia
Book SynopsisThis rigorously analytical yet readable book examines trends in new terror - understood here to be the capacity of sub-state actors to secure religious or politically motivated objectives by violent means. The contributors argue that whilst the use of violence to achieve political ends is scarcely original, what distinguishes new terror is its potential for lethality. This, combined with its evolving capacity to draw upon the resources of globalisation, particularly the revolution in communications which has advanced global markets, has also rendered them, and the more developed core states in the international trading order, increasingly vulnerable to asymmetric threats.The book's objectives are to: examine the character of new terror and its ambivalent relationship to the evolving cybernetic order made possible by technology and globalisation identify emerging trends and threats in terrorism including cyber-terrorism, eco-terrorism, bombings and CBR material consider the implications of these characteristics for the Asia Pacific region. This careful examination of the key paradox facing the modern condition, namely that the freedoms of communication themselves facilitate terror cells aimed at unravelling the prevailing order, will be of great interest to academics and researchers of contemporary politics, international relations, business, and Asian studies. The lay reader will also find the book accessible.Trade Review'This thought provoking and insightful study into the theoretical and policy implications of the new terrorism is particularly timely and welcome because much remains obscure in this field. The book provides valuable insight into not just the nature of terrorism, the tactics and strategies used by terrorists, and the responses available to western states, but also into asymmetric threats as a defining feature of contemporary conflict. It is also one of the few serious attempts to understand the strategies and financing of terror networks in the Asia Pacific region.' -- Alice Hills, Joint Services Command and Staff College, King's College, London, UKTable of ContentsContents: Part I: Theorising New Terror Part II: Terror Tactics and Asymmetric Strategies – New and Old Part III: Implications for the Asia Pacific Part IV: Towards a Conclusion Bibliography Index

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Counter-Terrorism and the Post-Democratic State
Book SynopsisThe 'war on terror' and ongoing terrorist attacks around the world have generated a growing body of literature on national and international measures to counteract terrorist activity. This detailed study investigates an aspect of contemporary counter-terrorism that has been largely overlooked; the impact of these measures on the continued viability of the democratic state. Democratic nations are now facing an unprecedented challenge - to respond to global terrorism without simultaneously overturning fundamental human and political rights. The book addresses the critical question of whether, in the context of the 'war on terror', the national security imperative has compromised the democratic state. This book draws together academics, public policy practitioners, politicians and journalists to discuss policies introduced by democratic governments which threaten the nature of the democratic state. It will be of great interest to graduate and undergraduate students in politics, public policy, international relations, criminology and terrorism and counter-terrorism studies.Table of ContentsContents: 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Terrorism, Security and the Power of Informal
Book SynopsisThis innovative work examines the concept of the informal network and its practical utility within the context of counterterrorism. Drawing together a range of practitioner and academic expertise it explores the character and evolution of informal networks, addressing the complex relationship between kinship groups, transnational linkages and the role that globalization and new technologies play in their formation and sustainability. By analysing the informal branch of networked organization in the context of security policy-making, the chapters in this book seek to address three questions: â?¢ how do informal networks operate? â?¢ which combination of factors draws individuals to form such networks?â?¢ what are their structures? Informal networks are necessarily elusive owing to their ad hoc development, amorphous structures and cultural specificity but they are nonetheless pivotal to the way organizations conduct business. Identifying and manipulating such networks is central to effective policy-making. Terrorism, Security and the Power of Informal Networks argues that informal networks are important to policy-makers and their mastery is critical to success both in tackling the challenges of hostile networks and in the processes of organizational reform currently preoccupying governments. Practitioners, policy-makers and researchers in the fields of international politics, international relations, history and political science will find much to interest them in this timely resource.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction Ann Lane PART I: INFORMAL NETWORKS 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Neojihadism: Towards a New Understanding of
Book SynopsisMany years after 9/11 we are still struggling to categorize groups like Al Qaeda, home-grown cells and others that claim to be perpetrating and justifying terrorist acts under the banner of jihad. This book introduces the concept of 'neojihadism' as a new form of political organization, grand narrative, global subculture, counterculture and theological understanding, with an approach to political violence that is unique to the post-Cold War period. What these groups espouse and enact differs radically from fascism, totalitarianism, cults, jihad - and even jihadism.Neojihadism takes an interdisciplinary approach that fuses comparative politics, subcultural studies, Islamic studies, and terrorism studies. It cites examples from global, regional and nationally based terrorist groups to illustrate the diversity within the movement. Additionally, it draws from unique primary materials including recorded conversations of terrorists preparing for attacks, captured by electronic bugging devices and telephone wiretaps - to help to test the extent to which the term 'neojihadism' is a significant political and theological departure from previous Islamist group experiences.This fascinating book will be an invaluable resource for academics, and undergraduate and postgraduate students of terrorism studies, political science, international relations, comparative religion, and Islamic studies.Contents:1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd A Handbook of Terrorism and Insurgency in
Book SynopsisThis timely and significant book seeks to explain the deep-seated complexities of terrorism and insurgency in Southeast Asia. In the aftermath of 9/11, this region has been designated by the United States to be the 'second front' in the war on terrorism. Yet despite the emergence of this 'new' global terrorism, the authors argue that armed rebellion in Southeast Asia is a phenomenon that predates Al Qaeda and the global Jihadist movement and that much can be learned from the motivations behind it.Written by a group of leading Western and emerging Southeast Asian scholars, this extensive volume demonstrates the difficulty and diversity of rebellion in Southeast Asia, and explores its intricate historical, political, social and economic roots. The book will serve as an excellent reference and educational text, providing an empirical and regional guide to the complex problem of insurgency in Southeast Asia. It will also contribute to a more educated understanding that could provide the basis for appropriate counter-terrorism strategies in this important part of the world.Comprehensive and engaging, this volume will find widespread appeal amongst researchers, students and policymakers interested in terrorism, international relations and Asian studies and will also be an invaluable tool for studies into political violence and security.Trade Review'This is an important and worthwhile book that should be read by anyone seeking to understand the history and evolution of political violence in Southeast Asia, including the origins of contemporary militant Islamist terrorism.' -- Paul J. Smith, Contemporary Southeast Asia'This very fine collection shows how and why Southeast Asia has been afflicted with terrorism from the end of World War II to the present time. No other volume tells us as much about the period and area. Anyone interested in the general theory and practice of terrorism and insurgency will find it indispensable.' -- David C. Rapoport, University of California, Los Angeles, US and Editor of Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence'This stimulating collection of essays underlines how Southeast Asia has again, as at the height of the Cold War, been pushed towards the top of the list of world conflict zones by the collision between long-standing regional problems and more recent external frictions. Anyone needing to learn more about the relationship between the "war on terror" and Southeast Asia, particularly regarding "terrorism" in Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, will need to consult this work.' -- Brian P. Farrell, National University of Singapore, and author of The Defence and Fall of Singapore 1940-1942'This book is an excellent addition to the literature on political violence in Southeast Asia providing a wealth of detail on terrorism, guerilla insurgency, and the use of terror and repression by governments. The book is especially valuable for the broad coverage of many different groups (not just Islamic ones), inclusion of the activities of governments, and a variety of opinions and views on terrorism and political violence. This book should be one of the essential resources for academics, policymakers, or anyone else interested in terrorism, insurgency, and political violence in the region. It is an extremely valuable tool for one and all.' -- James M.
