Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: imagine you were given the opportunity to go back to any one day in your life and relive it. A complete redo. Think about that for a moment. Imagine the possibilities. What if? We’ve all had days in our lives that we’ve regretted. Maybe you made a mistake or a bad choice. This would be your chance to undo that mistake. Or maybe it was a missed opportunity. A date you turned down or a relationship you didn’t pursue. What if you’d actually followed through? Or what if you could spend just one more day with a loved one that had passed on? Maybe it was a choice of colleges or a career choice. Maybe it was a choice between single life and marriage. Or whether or not to have children. We all come to forks in the road of life, where we have to choose between one of several paths. Did you ever wonder if you chose the right path? Ever wonder what would have happened if you chose the other fork? This is my story about being given the opportunity to go back and relive twenty-four hours and how my life changed as a result.

Download or read book Power Vacuums and Global Politics written by Hanna Samir Kassab and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-23 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Hanna Samir Kassab develops a theoretical framework that explains the formulation of power vacuums and examines their impact on the international system. A power vacuum is the fundamental absence of legitimate state authority over a geographic territory, and it is a space free of governance. With no state authority governing a geographical region, opportunistic states and organized criminal and terrorist networks may attempt to control that space. Using a variety of historical examples and centering his analysis on ungoverned spaces rather than great powers, Kassab uncovers neglected areas of great power competition. Part 1 discusses state actors: specifically, the strategic space of the Arctic, the Middle East and Africa, and Afghanistan and Central Asia. Part 2 examines non-state actors, such as terrorist networks and organized criminal networks, and the formulation of paramilitaries. Power Vacuums and Global Politics is the perfect volume for both undergraduate and graduate courses in international relations, security studies, political science, comparative politics, international political economy, and war and peace.

Download or read book Terrorism and Transnational Security Threats in West Africa written by Adebayo E. Adeyemi PhD and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it could be arguably stated that West Africa has achieved remarkable and sustainable progress in the areas of democratic governance and economic growth, the subregion, over the past few years, has been challenged by terrorism and other transnational security threats. Innocent civilians are continuously killed, security operatives and providers of humanitarian assistance are targeted, and properties and infrastructures are wantonly destroyed, thus culminating in significant displacement of people and acute poverty. If these developments are not carefully and timely addressed, they are capable of eroding progress so far recorded. It is against this background that this book examines the different manifestations of terrorism and related transnational security challenges in West Africa, with a view to exploring the internal and external sources and drivers of instability, establishing the linkages between terrorism and transnational threats, and reviewing the various steps taken in recent time to strengthen the subregions capacity to prevent and address the menace of terrorism and other security challenges and make necessary policy recommendations based on comprehensive best practices.

Download or read book State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law Versailles to Rome written by Jackson Maogoto and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative text is shows how there has been a concerted effort, since the end of World War I, to curb a state's power and freedom of action through the concept of international accountability to a set of recognized rules and norms. A state not only is to adhere to these rules but also can be sanctioned by an international penal process through enforcement of international criminal law. Adoption of the Rome Statute and the creation of the International Criminal Court are the culmination of many years of effort to challenge the power of state action. Scholars and students of international law with an interest in international criminal law will find this volume an interesting narrative of how the developments of international penal mechanisms of the 20th century have contributed to a diminution of state sovereignty. Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.

Download or read book Terrorism and the State written by Tal Becker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2007 Paul Guggenheim Prize! Today's terrorists possess unprecedented power, but the State still plays a crucial role in the success or failure of their plans. Terrorists count on governmental inaction, toleration or support. And citizens look to the State to protect them from the dangers that these terrorists pose. But the rules of international law that regulate State responsibility for preventing terrorism were crafted for a different age. They are open to abuse and poorly suited to hold States accountable for sponsoring or tolerating contemporary terrorist activity. It is time that these rules were reconceived. Tal Becker's incisive and ground-breaking book analyses the law of State responsibility for non-State violence and examines its relevance in a world coming to terms with the threat of catastrophic terrorism. The book sets out the legal duties of States to prevent, and abstain from supporting, terrorist activity and explores how to maximise State compliance with these obligations. Drawing on a wealth of precedents and legal sources, the book offers an innovative approach to regulating State responsibility for terrorism, inspired by the principles and philosophy of causation. In so doing, it presents a new conceptual and legal framework for dealing with the complex interactions between State and non-State actors that make terrorism possible, and offers a way to harness international law to enhance human security in a post-9/11 world.
