Book excerpt: "Contributors, many with practical military experience, argue that strategic planners and political leaders must reconcile the historical reality of special operations with the new circumstances in which countries like Canada must now pursue international security and stability, especially when the line between special and conventional is being redrawn. [This book] considers the historical experiences of several countries to [forecast] the future of special operations and address two crucial questions: Does Canada have a special forces? Can land, sea, and air forces incorporate elements of the special to respond to new threats?"--Publisher's description.
Download or read book Force and Freedom written by Arthur Ripstein and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this masterful work, both an illumination of Kant’s thought and an important contribution to contemporary legal and political theory, Arthur Ripstein gives a comprehensive yet accessible account of Kant’s political philosophy. Ripstein shows that Kant’s thought is organized around two central claims: first, that legal institutions are not simply responses to human limitations or circumstances; indeed the requirements of justice can be articulated without recourse to views about human inclinations and vulnerabilities. Second, Kant argues for a distinctive moral principle, which restricts the legitimate use of force to the creation of a system of equal freedom. Ripstein’s description of the unity and philosophical plausibility of this dimension of Kant’s thought will be a revelation to political and legal scholars. In addition to providing a clear and coherent statement of the most misunderstood of Kant’s ideas, Ripstein also shows that Kant’s views remain conceptually powerful and morally appealing today. Ripstein defends the idea of equal freedom by examining several substantive areas of law—private rights, constitutional law, police powers, and punishment—and by demonstrating the compelling advantages of the Kantian framework over competing approaches.

Download or read book The Use of Force for State Power written by Michael Warner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies force, the coercive application of power against resistance, building from Thomas Hobbes’ observation that all self-contained political orders have some ultimate authority that uses force to both dispense justice and to defend the polity against its enemies. This cross-disciplinary analysis finds that rulers concentrate force through cooperation, conveyance, and comprehension, applying common principles across history. Those ways aim to keep foes from concerting their actions, or by eliminating the trust that should bind them. In short, they make enemies afraid to cooperate, and now they are doing so in cyberspace as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our society tells us that if we are not constantly moving, we are not being productive. Yet often the most productive choice we can make is the choice to slow down-before our hectic lifestyle catches up and forces us to focus on our own self-care as outlined in personal testimonies in the book. In Slow Down by Choice or Lay Down by Force: 7 Keys to Restore Wholistic Balance in Your Life, Trina Pitts-Khalfani outlines the seven steps that lead to a more balanced, healthy life. While contemporary science only begins to recognize that the health of the mind can shape the health of the body, we can and should embrace this truth whole-heartedly. Speaking from over twenty years of experience in health promotion and disease prevention, Khalfani shows us how we can return to the tried-and-true natural health practices that different cultures have been using for thousands of years in order to heal the Mind, Body, and Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A team of expert contributors provides an in-depth exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons from a dozen countries across five continents. Police Use of Force: A Global Perspective is a fascinating, international exploration of police use of force, firearms, and less-than-lethal weapons in nations around the world. The book is comprised of three sections: the first focuses on the use of force generally, the second explores firearms and deadly force, and the final section considers less-than-lethal weapons, including pepper spray, TASERs, and other emerging technologies currently on the horizon. The essays gathered here will provide readers with an understanding of the vast differences in how police use force in various countries, as well as why police use force differently under different forms of government. Topics covered include use-of-force definitions, training procedures, policy issues, abuse of police authority, use of force during interrogations, and the use of firearms by armed and unarmed police forces. Finally, there is an essay focusing on how shooting and killing a suspect impacts an officer in the months and years that follow.
