Genocide and Human Rights: A Philosophical Guide
By John K. Roth

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Palgrave Macmillan
Number Of Pages:  376
Publication Date:  2005-10-14
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  1403935475
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9781403935472
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


Genocide is evil or nothing could be. It raises a host of questions about humanity, rights, justice, and reality, which are key areas of concern for philosophy. Strangely, however, philosophers have tended to ignore genocide. Even more problematic, philosophy and philosophers bear more responsibility for genocide than they have usually admitted. In Genocide and Human Rights: A Philosophical Guide, an international group of twenty-five contemporary philosophers work to correct those deficiencies by showing how philosophy can and should repsond to genocide, particularly in ways that defend human rights.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Routledge
Number Of Pages:  407
Publication Date:  2008-04-28
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0415428742
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415428743
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:



The last Asian financial crisis, coupled with the western series of corporate scandals, has caused investors and citizens to doubt mangers' ability to guarantee credible financial information about organizations. Consequently, legislators all over the world have come to realise the necessity of legislating in the area of corporate governance.


This book explores several national corporate governance reform experiences from around the world (including Canada, China, the United States, and the European Union) and offers an explanatory theory with regard to national systems of corporate governance. It also underlines corporate governance as a management tool and principle. The author argues that each country should be encouraged to build its own system of corporate governance which should be harmonized with its history, culture and the level of its economic development.

The Strategy of Terrorism: How it Works, and Why it Fails (Contemporary Terrorism Studies)
By M.L.R. Smith, Peter R. Neumann

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Routledge
Number Of Pages:  126
Publication Date:  2007-12-11
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0415426189
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415426183
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:


This is the first book to set out a comprehensive framework by which to understand terrorism as strategy. It contends that even terrorism of the supposedly nihilist variety can be viewed as a bona fide method for distributing means to fulfil the ends of policy, that is, as a strategy.

The main purpose of the work is to describe the dynamics of terrorism and evaluate their effectiveness, as well as to theorize upon, and clarify the correlation between, political ends and terrorist means. The text explains the modus operandi of terrorism, and demonstrates how terrorism relies on manipulating the psychological impact of (usually) relatively small-scale attacks. Using a variety of case studies, The Strategy of Terrorism shows how many campaigns of terrorism end in failure when they lose their power to terrify. The authors spell out what a proper understanding of terrorism as a strategy implies for those who want to make terrorism ineffective, and offer a number of policy recommendations derived directly from their critique.

This is the first contribution of strategic studies to the study of terrorism, and will be of much interest to students of terrorism, strategy and security studies, as well as military professionals and policy makers.

Terrorism Versus Democracy: The Liberal State Response (Cass Series: Political Violence)
By Paul Wilkinson

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Routledge
Number Of Pages:  276
Publication Date:  2006-08-18
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  041538477X
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415384773
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

This new, revised and updated edition of Prof. Wilkinson's acclaimed Terrorism Versus Democracy examines the problem of liberal democratic response. It draws some key lessons from the recent experience of democracies, and in particular from the response of the US, and UK and the international community to the horrific events of 9/11.
New chapters attempts a candid interim balance sheet on the success and failures of the War on Terrorism and highlights major dangers which were emphasized in the first edition, such as over-reaction, over-reliance on the use of military force in an effort to suppress terrorism, and the adoption of measures which involve major curtailments of democracy, human rights and the rule of law which could undermine the very democracy one is trying to defend. The author argues that prior to 9/11 the general international response to terrorism was one of inconsistency, confusion and under-reaction. However, at the other extreme, resort to full-scale war in the name of combating terrorism risks the sacrifice of far greater numbers of innocent lives than have ever been killed in non-state terrorist attacks. All these questions and many others are examined in Terrorism Versus Democracy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

Research in the field of terrorism has increased dramatically since 9/11, responding to the sudden need by policy makers, journalists and the general public to understand terrorism. A unique feature of this field of research is that it expands beyond typical academic categories such as macroeconomics, development studies, international relations or peace science, instead, a range of analysts have applied their various skills of different sub-disciplines to a common theme since 9/11, providing inter-disciplinary insights characterized by a clear focus.

Whilst most books look at the political response to terror, this unique book takes an economic approach and includes contributions from Todd Sandler, Sanjay Jain, Andrew Chen, Valpy Fitzgerald and Dennis Mueller.

Root Causes of Terrorism: Myths, Reality and Ways Forward
By Tore Bjorgo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Routledge
Number Of Pages:  288
Publication Date:  2005-08-10
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0415351499
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780415351492
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

What are the main factors and circumstances that give rise to terrorism? This is a question commonly addressed in political discourse on terrorism and is considered an alternative to dealing with terrorism through military force. However, there have been surprisingly few attempts to analyze the causes of terrorism in a book format.

Root Causes of Terrorism is one of the first to provide a detailed account of the motivations behind terrorism. The questions raised include:

· What are the main factors and circumstances that give rise to various forms of terrorism?
· What factors provide the preconditions for the emergence of various types of terrorism?
· What are the typical precipitants for terrorist acts?
· To what extent is it possible to reduce the problem of terrorism by influencing these root causes?
· Is it possible to identify root causes in advance of an attack?
· Should we address those factors that sustain terrorist campaigns rather than root causes?

Written by a team of leading international experts, this book provides a sophisticated analysis of one of the most pressing issues facing the world today and is essential reading for those with a research and professional interest in Terrorism and Security Studies.

A Democracy Is Born: An Insider's Account of the Battle Against Terrorism in Afghanistan
By Matthew J. Morgan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Praeger Security International General Interest-Cloth
Number Of Pages:  184
Publication Date:  2007-09-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0275999998
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780275999995
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

In October 2004, more than eight million citizens of Afghanistan turned out to vote in the first democratic election in the turbulent, 5,000-year history of the country. This incredible voter turnout in the face of horrific threats and actual bullets, rockets, and bombs was a shout of defiance and a significant setback to the former Taliban regime and their al Qaeda allies. It was a stunning success and serious step forward for the Afghan people and for the United States in the campaign against international terrorism. The change is more dramatic than the American Revolution, in the aftermath of which the new American democracy maintained a representative form of government similar to its British roots. The change is also more positive than the French Revolution, which degenerated into tyranny and anarchy. The Afghan Revolution of democratic governance, albeit aided and guided by international military and political powers, is thus one of the most historic events of our time. Written by a former U.S. Army intelligence officer, this book provides readers with a candid account of Afghanistan's first presidential election and its subsequent transition to democratic self-governance. In particular, Morgan speaks to the security apparatus and the measures protecting the election. The election's security process marked a defeat for the al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorist insurgents attempting to frustrate Afghanistan's transformation into a democratic nation. Morgan's narrative of Afghan development is interspersed with firsthand, personal accounts from the author's eleven-month deployment as an officer serving in the U.S. military in Afghanistan. His stint there, embedded within the United Nations in a civilian-clothes role, enables him to write from the perspective of a UN security officer, offering insights beyond those that might be gained on the battlefield.

American Capitalism and the Changing Role of Government
By Harry G. Shaffer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Publisher:  Praeger Publishers
Number Of Pages:  152
Publication Date:  1999-07-30
ISBN-10 / ASIN:  0275965783
ISBN-13 / EAN:  9780275965785
Binding:  Hardcover


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product Description:

The conventional wisdom has it that a balanced budget is the height of economic rationality, that social security should be privatized, and that most adult welfare recipients could and should get jobs. All our social and economic problems, we are told, are due to too much government; if we only left the American free enterprise system alone, the free market would heal all that ails our society and lead to lasting prosperity. Challenging these widespread stereotypes and myths, this book starts with the fundamental theory underlying capitalist ideology, showing that even in theory an unfettered free market cannot deal effectively with the many needs of a modern economy. Our society has many social goals to which the great majority subscribe--goals such as sustained full employment, universal health care, and quality education for all. The free market will not, the author argues, bring us quality education for every American child, affordable universal health care, Social Security for the elderly, assistance for the poor, or protection of the environment. Only an active, participant government can affect positive change in such areas of social concern.

In Legal Pragmatism, Michael Sullivan looks closely at the place of the individual and community in democratic society. After mapping out a brief history of American legal thinking regarding rights, from communitarianism to liberalism, Sullivan gives a rich and nuanced account of how pragmatism worked to resolve conflicts of self-interest and community well-being. Sullivan's view of pragmatism provides a comprehensive framework for understanding democracy, as well as issues such as health care, education, gay marriage, and illegal immigration that will determine its character in the future. Legal Pragmatism is a bold, carefully argued book that presents a unique understanding of contemporary society, law, and politics.
