Not Only Syria? The Phenomenon of Foreign Fighters in a Comparative Perspective
The term ‘foreign fighters’ describes nationals of one state who – for whatever variety of reasons and motives – travel abroad to take part in a conflict in another state without the promise of financial reward. The majority of attention has so far been focused on the nationals of Western European states who have gone to fight for the so-called Islamic State in Syria. There exist, however, other examples of contemporary European foreign fighters whose travails, motivations and returns have been largely unnoticed and underappreciated. This books attempts to balance this state of affairs by bringing to the fore some lesser known cases of non-terrorist but foreign fighters related to th...
Assassin
The discovery by a rookie police officer of the headless and mutilated body of a middle-aged woman in the residential area of Indianapolis triggers a joint CIA/British Intelligence Directorate (BID) investigation to reveal highly placed moles in both agencies. John Gunn from BID and Doyle Barnes from the CIA are sent to Russia to find evidence identifying the moles and to verify the contents of a message on a CD found at the crime scene of the murdered woman. The CD informs the CIA and BID that all the pasengers on the South Korean KAL flight shot down by the Soviet Union in 1983 survived the crash and are alive in Russian gulags. Did anyone survive the shoot-down of the KAL flight? Has a South Korean scientist who was a passenger on the flight escaped with plans for a revolutionary fuel cell? John Gunn and Doyle Barnes have the formidable task of searching the wild Russian Taiga for the scientist while being pursued by the brutal, sadistic and self-styled 'Assassin' who has left a trail of decapitated bodies across the USA and Europe.

Prosecuting International Crimes
This 2005 book discusses the legitimacy of the international criminal law regime. It explains the development of the system of international criminal law enforcement in historical context, from antiquity through the Nuremberg and Tokyo Trials, to modern-day prosecutions of atrocities in the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda and Sierra Leone. The modern regime of prosecution of international crimes is evaluated with regard to international relations theory. The book then subjects that regime to critique on the basis of legitimacy and the rule of law, in particular selective enforcement, not only in relation to who is prosecuted, but also the definitions of crimes and principles of liability used when people are prosecuted. It concludes that although selective enforcement is not as powerful as a critique of international criminal law as it was previously, the creation of the International Criminal Court may also have narrowed the substantive rules of international criminal law.

The Lands in Between
Russia's stealth invasion of Ukraine and its assault on the US elections in 2016 forced a reluctant West to grapple with the effects of hybrid war. While most citizens in the West are new to the problems of election hacking, state-sponsored disinformation campaigns, influence operations by foreign security services, and frozen conflicts, citizens of the frontline states between Russia and the European Union have been dealing with these issues for years. The Lands in Between: Russia vs. the West and the New Politics of Russia's Hybrid War contends that these "lands in between" hold powerful lessons for Western countries. For Western politics is becoming increasingly similar to the lands in be...
Law and the Management of Disasters
Disasters raise serious challenges for contemporary legal orders: they demand significant management, but usually amidst massive disruption to the normal functioning of state authority and society. When dealing with disasters, law has traditionally focused on contingency planning and recovery. More recently, however, ‘resilience’ has emerged as a key concept in effective disaster management policies and strategies, aiming at minimising the impact of events, so that the normal functioning of society and the state can be preserved. This book analyses the contribution of law to resilience building by looking at law’s role in the different phases of the disaster regulatory process: risk assessment, risk management, emergency intervention, and recovery. More specifically, it addresses how law can effectively contribute to resilience-oriented distaster management policies, and what legal instruments can support effective resilience-building.
