Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Confidence-Building Measures (CBMs) - often seen as the fastest growing sector on the post-Cold War diplomatic agenda - are increasingly viewed by the international community as useful instruments for addressing a range of security and diplomatic issues. Rethinking Confidence-Building Measures warns against an uncritical pursuit of CBMs, arguing that the idea has been oversold. The author asserts that obstacles to meaningful agreements are much more important than usually acknowledged, and the political and military ramifications have been generally ignored. She concludes that the same effort, painstaking negotiation, and possibilities for failure are inherent in CBMs as in the wide array of other potential solutions for managing interstate security relations, but with far fewer substantial results.

Download or read book Measuring Compliance written by Melissa Rorie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-02-24 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compliance, or the behavioral response to legal rules, has become an important topic for academics and practitioners. A large body of work exists that describes different influences on business compliance, but a fundamental challenge remains: how to measure compliance or noncompliance behavior itself? Without proper measurement, it's impossible to evaluate existing management and regulatory enforcement practices. Measuring Compliance provides the first comprehensive overview of different approaches that are or could be used to measure compliance by business organizations. The book addresses the strengths and weaknesses of various methods and offers both academics and practitioners guidance on which measures are best for different purposes. In addition to understanding the importance of measuring compliance and its potential negative effects in a variety of contexts, readers will learn how to collect data to answer different questions in the compliance domain, and how to offer suggestions for improving compliance measurement.
Download or read book The Converging Roles of Arms Control Verification Confidence building Measures and Peace Operations written by Patricia Bliss McFate and published by The Division. This book was released on 1994 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report explores the interrelationships among three processes: arms control verification, confidence-building and peacekeeping. It argues that in the current dangerous and unstable world, these three processes are undergoing changed demands, which brings each into closer relationship with the others. underlying this report is the premise that the synergistic relationships among these three processes can further contribute to international security, through both improved effectiveness and better use of limited resources. The study also emphasizes that the roles of the United Nations and other international bodies could be expanded and harmonized to contribute to greater transparency and security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an introduction to Information Technology with regard to peace, conflict, and security research, a topic that it approaches from natural science, technical and computer science perspectives. Following an initial review of the fundamental roles of IT in connection with peace, conflict and security, the contributing authors address the rise of cyber conflicts via information warfare, cyber espionage, cyber defence and Darknets. The book subsequently explores recent examples of cyber warfare, including: • The Stuxnet attack on Iran’s uranium refining capability • The hacking of the German Federal Parliament’s internal communication system • The Wannacry malware campaign, which used software stolen from a US security agency to launch ransomware attacks worldwide The book then introduces readers to the concept of cyber peace, including a discussion of confidence and security-building measures. A section on Cyber Arms Control draws comparisons to global efforts to control chemical warfare, to reduce the risk of nuclear war, and to prevent the militarization of space. Additional topics include the security of critical information infrastructures, and cultural violence and peace in social media. The book concludes with an outlook on the future role of IT in peace and security. Information Technology for Peace and Security breaks new ground in a largely unexplored field of study, and offers a valuable asset for a broad readership including students, educators and working professionals in computer science, IT security, peace and conflict studies, and political science.

Book excerpt: Confidence-building measures (CBMs) are a unique class of international agreement intended to reduce mistrust between rival states by minimizing the risk of surprise attack, political exploitation of military power, and of inadvertent conflict or escalation. This dissertation offers four related papers that firmly ground the concept of CBMs in international relations theory. The first paper provides a conceptual definition of CBMs premised on the idea that uncertainty over a rival's intentions is a basic cause of mutual fears between states. CBMs attempt to build confidence in intentions by either credibly revealing a state's preferences or demonstrating that specific actions are non-hostile. Three strategic structures enable CBMs to overcome the obstacles of sustaining compliance in the face of incentives to defect. The first two strategic structures are familiar in international relations theory: Harmony and the repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. However, one important type of CBM - notification CBMs - cannot be sustained by either Harmony or the repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. The second paper offers a game theoretic model of notification CBMs that explores their unique strategic structure. They rely on a tradeoff between the utility of exploitation and the cost of accidents to make notification both possible and informative. The third paper explores the empiric landscape of CBM practice. Analysis of a new dataset of CBMs shows wide variation in the prevalence and type of CBM agreements. Statistical analysis of a number of theoretically and empirically derived determinants identifies several factors that are associated with increased probability of CBM agreements. The fourth paper examines the roots and effectiveness of the 1972 U.S.-Soviet Incidents at Sea Agreement, one of the most important early CBMs. The paper is the first quantitative test of whether or not the INCSEA Agreement succeeded in reducing dangerous naval incidents. Collectively, these papers provide a systematic exploration of an important but under-studied class of international agreement.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Compliance written by Benjamin van Rooij and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 1559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.
