Deterring Rational Fanatics
ISBN: 9780812246681 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cold War-era strategic thinking was driven by the belief that individuals, organizations, and foreign states could be deterred from offensive action by the threat of reprisal. That assurance was shaken with the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001; suddenly, it seemed that no threat was powerful enough to deter individuals or organizations that valued political objectives over their own lives and the lives of their members. More than a decade later, new research and theory are bringing deterrence back into currency as a viable counterterrorism strategy. Alex S. Wilner updates deterrence...

Symbolism in Terrorism: Motivation, Communication, and Behavior
ISBN: 9781442235779 / Angielski / Twarda / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The symbolic value of targets is what differentiates terrorism from other forms of extreme violence. Terrorism is designed to inflict deep psychological wounds on an enemy rather than demolish its material ability to fight. The September 11, 2001 attacks, for example, demonstrated the power of symbolism. The World Trade Center was targeted by Al Qaeda because the Twin Towers epitomized Western civilization, U.S. imperialism, financial success, modernity, and freedom. The symbolic character of terrorism is the focus of this textbook. A comprehensive analysis, it incorporates descriptions,...

Explaining Islamist Insurgencies: The Case of Al-Jamaah Al-Islamiyyah and the Radicalisation of the Poso Conflict, 2000-2007
ISBN: 9781783264858 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 9/11 many books have been published on Islamic terrorism, but few of these have considered the issue from the perspective of strategic studies or in terms of an “insurgency.” As a result, much of this literature ignores the process of radicalisation and fails to ascertain why some people turn to terrorism, while others from the same background do not. To counter this trend, Explaining Islamist Insurgencies explains how and why the process of Islamist radicalisation is an important step towards acts of terrorism and in the formation of terrorist organisations by focusing on...

Al Qaeda's Global Crisis: The Islamic State, Takfir and the Genocide of Muslims
ISBN: 9781138789975 / Angielski / Twarda / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the crises facing Al Qaeda and how the mass killing of Muslims is challenging its credibility as a leader among Islamist jihadist organizations. The book argues that these crises are directly related to Al Qaeda's affiliation with the extreme violence employed against Muslims in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan in the decade since 9/11. Al Qaeda's public and private responses to this violence differ greatly. While in public Al Qaeda has justified those attacks declaring that, for the establishment of a state of 'true believers', they are a necessary...

Legal Response to Terrorism: Case Study of The Republic of Kenya
ISBN: 9781499743777 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Terrorism remains a major threat to Kenya's national-security interests. However, efforts to combat the menace are hampered by an insufficient legal framework. Previously, terrorism-related offenses were primarily handled under the provisions of the penal code, with the result that offenders received lenient sentences or even were acquitted. On the other hand, efforts to formulate specific counter terrorism legislation in the past were met with criticism from human rights bodies, the clergy, legal bodies, and the public at large. This book examines the development of counter terrorism...

This book examines the 7/7 London bombings, the Murrah building attack by Timothy McVeigh, and the Japanese religious terrorist group Aum Shinrikyo. The three groups are analyzed against the recognized forms of human rights, as defined by the United Nations agreement to which all three countries in the case studies are signatories.

ISBN: 9781499762303 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are some cases in which terrorists had second thoughts about harming other people. Their conscience, specifically their guilty conscience, forced them to reconsider their plan. This raises thought-provoking questions: are there other examples of terrorists pulling back from an operation because of their guilty conscience, and can countries take advantage of this phenomenon to reduce the prevalence of terrorism? This book will answer these questions in an exploration of how exploiting guilty consciences can be an element of a country's counter-terrorism strategy that focuses on the...

A New Mindset for Countering Terrorism
ISBN: 9781499762402 / Angielski / Miękka / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since September 11, 2001, the United States has been gripped in an epic struggle against terrorism. The attacks on the United States homeland paralyzed the nation with a sense of vulnerability, but instilled a resolve to retaliate and take the offensive to defeat terrorism. This has manifested itself in the Global War on Terror and led to the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq to force regime change upon a terrorist sanctuary and a rogue state respectively. After nearly a decade of pursuing a war on terror, it appears that U.S. efforts are failing to effectively combat terrorism and...

Boko Haram: Inside Nigeria's Unholy War
ISBN: 9781784530747 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. An insurgency in Nigeria by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram has left thousands dead, shaken Africa s biggest nation and worried the world. Yet they remain a mysterious-almost unknowable-organization. Through extensive on-the-ground reporting, Smith takes readers inside the violence and provides the first in-depth account of the conflict. He traces Boko Haram from its beginnings in Nigeria s remote northeast to its transformation into a hydra-headed monster, deploying suicide bombers and abducting schoolgirls. Much of the book is told from the perspective of Nigerians who have found...

The Terrorist Threat: Implications for Homeland Security
ISBN: 9781500101572 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 9/11, the United States implemented radical changes to its counterterrorism strategy and capabilities. Recently, critics have called into question the current strategy for fighting a war on terror. This thesis provides a summary of the two most common competing criticisms of the U.S. counterterrorism strategy. On the one hand, critics argue that the threat has been exaggerated. On the opposite side of the spectrum, critics argue that we are engaged in a war between Islam and the West. An examination of the evidence used by these competing criticisms, combined with a review of existing...

Axis of Evil
ISBN: 9781500190699 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. G.W. Bush's first inaugural address used the right language but named the wrong actors. If evil is knowingly exploiting or harming others for one's own gain, we need to look closer to home. Terrorism is a process of desperation, a traditional way to fight an empire that cannot be defeated on the battlefield. Today the empire and its oligarchs have hijacked revolution to empower themselves through fear politics and enrich themselves through disaster capitalism. This is easy to do: make people desperate, strip them of hope, arm them and turn them on other victims. The empire is so desperate and...
