Jihadi Discourse in the Wake of the Arab Spring
ISBN: 9781503189454 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The fall of dictators brought about by the initial wave of the "Arab Spring" is an aspiration many Arabs dreamed about, prayed for or attempted to pursue through political channels - an exercise that for decades seemed futile. The jihadis did not settle for dreaming or praying - although there is no shortage of either in the jihadi cultural universe. Convinced by the futility of peaceful reforms, they set out on the path of jihad intent on bringing down dictators and fighting against the Western countries that they believed supported these dictators.1 For decades jihadis - despite their...

Usama bin Ladin's 'Father Sheikh - Yunus Khalis and the Return of al-Qaida's Leadership to Afghanistan
ISBN: 9781497529656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The year 1996 was a watershed moment for Usama bin Ladin. It was a time of transition in which he fled Sudan in exile, returned to Afghanistan with the leadership of al-Qaida and wrote a letter (risala) declaring war against the Saudi Kingdom and the United States. Prior to publishing his risala in August of that year, Usama bin Ladin sought legal backing for a declaration of jihad against the ongoing American presence in Saudi Arabia from prominent religious scholars (ulama) including Yunus Khalis. The scant available evidence suggests that at that time Bin Ladin and Khalis had a friendly...

ISBN: 9781511636520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Despite technological advances, hand-to-hand combat remains a persistent aspect of the contemporary operating environment (Wojadkowski, 2007).

Potential Partners in the Pacific? Soft Power and the Sino-NATO Relationship
ISBN: 9781502892270 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Is there mutual benefit in a relationship between China and NATO? What shape might such a relationship take, and what are the ramifications for both China and NATO member states? This paper argues that China and NATO share a common interest in maintaining security of the global commons, and that such a relationship could appeal to NATO's desire to extend cooperative security beyond the Euro-Atlantic area while offering the Chinese a means for protecting their interests on the global stage in a constructive, non-threatening manner. While both NATO and China have interests in Afghanistan, the...

George W. Bush's Foreign Policies: Principles and Pragmatism
ISBN: 9780367204204 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a fresh assessment of George W. Bush's foreign policies. It is not designed to offer an evaluation of the totality of George W. Bush's foreign policy. Instead, the analysis will focus on the key aspects of his foreign and security policy record, in each case considering the interplay between principle and pragmatism. The underpinning contention here is that policy formulation and implementation across Bush's two terms can more usefully be analysed in terms of shades of grey, rather than the black and white hues in which it has often been painted. Thus, in some key policy...

Challengers from the Sidelines: Understanding America's Violent Far-Right
ISBN: 9781535214513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work seeks to explain how both exogenous and endogenous factors may shape the characteristics of American far right violence, including political, demographic, and economic factors. Findings indicate that contentious and conservative political environments as well as the political empowerment are positively associated with the volume of violence; thus, it is not only feelings of deprivation that motivate those involved in far right violence, but also the sense of empowerment that emerges when the political system is perceived to be increasingly permissive to far right ideas. These trends...
