Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the political economy of so-called new wars, this book presents a series of studies that analyse the complexities of current warfare by moving from the global sphere to local spots of organised violence.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Conflict by : Robert G. Patman
Download or read book Globalization and Conflict written by Robert G. Patman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume highlights the gap between the new security environment and the notion of state-centred national security favoured by Washington, showing how a Cold War phenomenon known as the national security state, in which defence and foreign policy interests essentially converge, remains largely intact. The conventional wisdom since the suicide attacks of 9/11 is that the world has been transformed and, according to President Bush, "September 11 changed the strategic thinking" of the US. This book challenges these assumptions. Indeed, the Bush administration’s National Security strategy of 2002 has reinvigorated and even extended the idea of national security. Paradoxically, the renewed emphasis on a distinctly state-centred approach to security, including the War on Terror, has unfolded during an era of deepening globalization. Drawing on the international expertise of fourteen specialists, the book examines four inter-related themes: the impact of globalization on the concept of security the strategic outlook of the world’s only superpower, the US the new conflicts that have come to characterize the post-Cold War era efforts to regulate the emerging patterns of conflict in the world. Globalization and Conflict will be essential reading for students of strategic studies, security studies and international relations.
Book Synopsis Peace, Security and Development in an Era of Globalization by : Gelijn Molier
Download or read book Peace, Security and Development in an Era of Globalization written by Gelijn Molier and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the integrated security approach in general, and more in particular in relation to states after regime-change and post-conflict states. The integrated security approach is analyzed from various perspectives and starting from various scientific disciplines. On the one hand this raises highly specific questions like: what is CIMIC (civil-military cooperation) and how does it function in practice? On the other hand the book has broader ambitions and tries to see the current debate on regime change in dictatorial or fundamental regimes and the process of reconstruction afterwards against the background of a wider discussion on globalization and the war against terrorism. Contributors include: Rob de Wijk, Ko Colijn, Georg Frerks, Afshin Ellian, Gerd Junne, Mient Jan Faber & Martijn Dekker, Mark Heirman, Isabelle Duyvesteyn, Christa Meindersma, Bas Rietjens & Robert Beeres & Myriame Bollen, Diederik de Boer & Stella Pfisterer, Koos van der Bruggen, Eva Nieuwenhuys and Gelijn Molier.

Book Synopsis Globalization and War by : Tarak Barkawi
Download or read book Globalization and War written by Tarak Barkawi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the interconnections between globalization and war, Barkawi (Centre of International Studies, U. of Cambridge, UK) first analyzes how war interconnects and reshapes places and how developments in the nature and utility of military force shape transregional and worldwide contexts, utilizing the relations among India, the British empire, and the Indian Army is illustrative material. He then examines cultural dimensions of war and globalization such as "geographic imaginaries" of a modern and advance West and a barbarous Orient. The themes developed in these chapters are then applied to the "War on Terror."
Book Synopsis Armed Drones and Globalization in the Asymmetric War on Terror by : Fred Aja Agwu
Download or read book Armed Drones and Globalization in the Asymmetric War on Terror written by Fred Aja Agwu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical exploration of the war on terror from the prism of armed drones and globalization. It is particularly focused on the United States’ use of the drones, and the systemic dysfunctions that globalization has caused to international political economy and national security, creating backlash in which the desirability of globalization is not only increasingly questioned, but the resultant dissension about its desirability appears increasingly militating against the international consensus needed to fight the war on terror. To underline the controversial nature of the war on terror and the pragmatic weapon (armed drones) fashioned for its prosecution, some of the elements of this controversy have been interrogated in this book. They include, amongst others, the doubt over whether the war should have been declared in the first place because terrorist attacks hardly meet the United Nations’ casus belli – an armed attack. There are critics, as highlighted in this book, who believe that the war on terror is not an armed conflict properly so called, and, thus, remains only a law enforcement issue. The United States and all the states taking part in the war on terror are obligated to observe International Humanitarian Law (IHL). It is within this context of IHL that this book appraises the drone as a weapon of engagement, discussing such issues as personality and signature strikes as well as the implications of the deployment of spies as drone strikers rather than the Defence Department, the members of the U.S armed forces. This book will be of value to researchers, academics, policymakers, professionals, and students in the fields of security studies, terrorism, the law of armed conflict, international humanitarian law, and international politics.

Book Synopsis Globalization and Mental Health by :
Download or read book Globalization and Mental Health written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Globalization and armed conflict have created population shifts that displace people and families, bringing critical issues around humanitarian emergencies into our communities. More researchers have taken an interest in the global community, but there remains a paucity of mental health research on the problems of people in war-affected countries as well as countries that eventually house them. In this dissertation, I evaluate the impact of armed conflict in developmental phases across the life course: childhood/adolescence, early adulthood (as new parents), and adulthood (after migrating to a host country). Using a mixed-methods approach, I aim to understand the effects of armed conflict on children, the intergenerational stress when they become adults and have children of their own, and the predictors of mental distress when survivors of torture migrate to a host country. To demonstrate the complexity between individual mental health and the social context, the dissertation populations are a reflection of the true nature of globalization - in high and low income countries, with a lifespan lens, to provide a framework for a public health model that emphasizes globalization in mental distress. This more contextualized concept considers the importance of developmental stages and the influence of socio-cultural context on both the local perceptions of mental health and the social determinants of mental health at the family-, community-, and wider society- levels, which departs from a narrow biomedical approach focused on individual pathology."--Samenvatting auteur.
Book Synopsis War and Power in the Twenty-First Century by : Paul Hirst
Download or read book War and Power in the Twenty-First Century written by Paul Hirst and published by Polity. This book was released on 2002-01-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Future developments in war, armed conflict and international relations are central to our collective fate in this century. This book looks forward by considering the forces that will drive changes in military organizations, sources of conflict, the power of states and the nature of the international system. New military technologies will alter how wars are fought and will influence the balance of power. Changes in the global environment will provide new causes of conflict and will change economic priorities. As a result, the state will survive as the key social institution and populations will look to it to acquire and to distribute scarce resources like water, energy and land. Many of the changes that seem transformatory today, like globalization, the internet and mass consumerism, will be shown to be less significant than we believe them to be. Hirst puts such changes into perspective by comparing them with the revolutionary changes in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe: the firepower revolution, the rise of the sovereign territorial state and the parallel development of the international system, and the creation of world trade. These basic structures of the modern world are still with us and will remain, despite major changes in twenty-first-century society. This book will appeal to students of politics, political sociology & international relations as well as the interested general reader.

Ökonomie, Note: Metrit (good), King`s College London (War College), 52 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: With Globalisation and its Discontents, economist and writer Joseph Stiglitz wrote a devastating critique of globalisation approach and its results. His work caused much discontent among those he attacked, as much for his argument as for his apparent self-righteousness. We seek to answer two questions: Firstly, does Stiglitz' work help us to identify the causes of contemporary conflicts and secondly, could it be that Stiglitz overlooks deeper interrelations between globalisation and contemp
Book Synopsis Globalization, Marginalization and Conflict by : Borna Fuerst-Bjeliš
Download or read book Globalization, Marginalization and Conflict written by Borna Fuerst-Bjeliš and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at marginality from a less conventional perspective by analyzing complex social, cultural, political and economic relations between the aspects of globalization and various forms of marginalization. It focuses specifically on the conflict potential that results from the globalization-driven inequality and marginalization of many segments of societies. This view is further illustrated in sections on border regions, identity issues, minorities and poverty. The book gives a comprehensive but in-depth analysis of the various aspects of the relations between globalization, marginalization and conflict issues, based on a number of case studies and regions worldwide. It shows how the same issues of globalization and marginalization manifest themselves in different ways under different circumstance, obviously requiring different solutions. Based on original research, this book provides new insights on the globalization-marginalization relations and a good resource to academics, scientists and students in various fields of social, political science and humanities.
Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Armed Conflict by : Karen Ballentine
Download or read book The Political Economy of Armed Conflict written by Karen Ballentine and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, suggest the authors of this collection, is creating new opportunities--some legal, some illicit--for armed factions to pursue their agendas in civil war. Within this context, they analyze the key dynamics of war economies and the challenges posed for conflict resolution and sustainable peace. Thematic chapters consider key issues in the political economy of internal wars, as well as how differing types of resource dependency influence the scope, character, and duration of conflicts. Case studies of Burma, Colombia, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka illustrate a range of ways in which belligerents make use of global markets and the transnational flow of resources. An underlying theme is the opportunities available to the international community to alter the economic incentive structure that inadvertently supports armed conflict.
