Given the dramatic changes that have taken place in global politics in recent years (especially following September 11, 2001), it is time to examine a series of critical issues confronting the global political economy. One of the most important of these issues is terrorism and its relationship with weak states. This book examines the weak state-terrorism nexus with particular emphasis on Africa. Specifically, it provides an in-depth analysis of state weakness, poverty, and the opportunities offered by the latter for the breeding of terrorism and terrorists. It also looks at the part played by radical Islam in transnational terrorism in Africa. Emerging from this study is recognition of a need for the international system to analyze a wide range of issues that contribute to the weakening of African states.

But what about those for whom these issues matter the most? In this book, Natasha K.

Free Download Brian Frederking, "Resolving Security Dilemmas: A Constructivist Explanation of the INF Treaty"
English | 2019 | ISBN: 0415791820 | EPUB | pages: 184 | 0.6 mb
This title was first published in 2000. The book applies constructivist arguments about culture, norms and identity to explain the superpower negotiations that produced the INF Treaty. It contributes to the constructivist research program in two ways. First, it develops a speech act model of social interaction to illustrate constructivist arguments and second, it develops a constructivist theory of security dilemmas that suggests practical ways to resolve them. The substantive conclusion of the book is that the dominant understanding of the end of the Cold War (the buildup argument) is not correct as it advocates policies that tend to perpetuate conflicts. Instead this book argues that the ‘new thinking’ explanation is more coherent and suggests improved practical ways to resolve other security dilemmas.

Free Download Frontiers in Social Dilemmas Research By Wim B. G. Liebrand, David M. Messick (auth.), Prof. Dr. Wim B. G. Liebrand, Prof. Dr. David M. Messick (eds.)
1996 | 438 Pages | ISBN: 3642852637 | PDF | 32 MB
Social dilemmas are situations in which individuals, groups or nations face a choice between their own short-term interests and the longer-term interests of all parties involved, including themselves. As a consequence, in the end they all regret the way they have acted. Examples of social dilemmas are easy to find: depletion of vital resources, arms races, over-production of hazardous substances and environmental pollutants, information hoarding, and the failure to provide and maintain public goods. Understanding the dynamics of social dilemmas constitutes a major challenge. One prominent feature that distinguishes this book is the focus on computer simulations as a methodology for the exploration of the dynamic interplay of individual level processes and aggregate outcomes.

Free Download Windy Dryden, "Therapists′ Dilemmas"
English | 1998 | pages: 203 | ISBN: 0761953949, 0761953930 | PDF | 4,4 mb
`This book is really about how therapists resolve discomforting conflicts and what such conflicts reveal about the nature of therapy. Windy Dryden approaches this task by way of a series of interviews with experienced therapists from a range of therapeutic backgrounds… the interviews are both readable and engaging… and often give us as much insight into the therapists themselves as to the dilemmas… This book would clearly serve as a useful source of discussion for students of therapy or counselling. It is also a thoughtful and interesting read for any practitioner′ -Clinical Psychology Forum
