The Rebirth of Area Studies

The Rebirth of Area Studies

Publishing date: 2019
Area Studies became increasingly common after World War II as a means of responding to perceived 'external threats' from the Soviet Union and China. After the Cold War and in the face of increasingly rapid globalisation, it seemed inevitable that Area Studies - institutionally and intellectually - would slowly degenerate. But this has not been the case, and there has recently been a resurgence of interest in it as an effective and positive research paradigm. Responding to this renewed interest, this book brings together an esteemed group of contributors at the cutting edge of the field to consider the state of Area Studies today and its prospects for the future. The Rebirth of Area Studies demonstrates that numerous aspects of the research paradigm in fact recommend

The West's Road to 9/11 offers a detailed explanation of the handling of the challenge of terrorism by the USA, the UK and the West over the last thirty years.

Understanding Trust in Government

Author: Arnold Vedlitz
James Stoutenborough
Scott Robinson
Publishing date: 2017
Growing disenfranchisement with political institutions and policy processes has generated interest in trust in government. For the most part, research has focused on trust in government as a general attitude covering all political institutions. In this book, Scott E. Robinson, James W. Stoutenborough, and Arnold Vedlitz argue that individual agencies develop specific reputations that may contrast with the more general attitudes towards government as a whole. Grounded in a treatment of trust as a relationship between two actors and taking the Environmental Protection Agency as their subject, the authors illustrate that the agency's reputation is explained through general demographic and ideological factors - as well as policy domain factors like environmentalism.

War Games The Story of Aid and War

Author: Linda Polman
Publishing date: 2010
From Rwanda to Afghanistan, from Sudan to Iraq, this brilliantly written and at times blackly funny work of reportage shows how the humanitarian aid industry, the media and warmongers the world over are locked in a cycle of mutual support. Drawing on her decades of first-hand experience, Linda Polman's gripping narrative introduces us to the key players in this twisted game, to the aid-workers and the warlords themselves. Among many others, there is the Bible-bashing one-man NGO who rescued two Sierra Leonean girls from life in an amputee camp - only to change his mind and try to send them back again; the director of the World Bank in Kabul who estimates that 35-40 per cent of all aid in Afghanistan is looted or lost; and, the rebel soldier who explains that war does

IX Einleitung In der aktuellen sicherheitspolitischen Diskussion überschlagen sich seit den Terroranschlägen des 11.

Es werden zum Teil drastische Maßn- men empfohlen und auf den Gesetzesweg gebracht, die gravierende Auswirk- gen auf das rechtsstaatliche und politisch verfasste System, nicht nur der Inneren Sicherheit, sondern auch des gesamten gesellschaftlichen Systems der Bundes- publik enthalten. Zudem werden die unterschiedlichsten technischen Begriffe in die Diskussion geworfen, bei denen die Kenntnisse über Folgewirkungen und die Verkettungen von nicht intendierten Wirkungen oftmals diffus sind.
