Chechnya - Russia's 'War on Terror'
Providing a comprehensive overview of the Russo-Chechen War, the author examines the origins of the conflict historically, and traces how both sides were dragged inexorably into war in the early 1990s.
communicating in conflict
In conflict and post-conflict environments, international organization staff work and communicate with a variety of stakeholders: governments, militaries, international non-governmental organizations (INGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), media, local nationals, and other audiences. Each of these stakeholders make decisions on, for example, provision of aid, military attacks, political demonstrations, and kidnappings. Effective communication on these issues and others can mean the difference between life and death for hundreds of thousands of people. Communicators working in challenging environments must be properly trained and prepared prior to their arrival. They also need to know how to protect themselves and their colleagues from physical risk. This book presents best practices learned by these professionals with decades of experience in the field and provides contemporary case studies of communication in current conflicts.
Terror in Chechnya
A riveting history of Russia's crimes in Chechnya Terror in Chechnya is the definitive account of Russian war crimes in Chechnya. Emma Gilligan provides a comprehensive history of the second Chechen conflict of 1999 to 2005, revealing one of the most appalling human rights catastrophes of the modern era—one that has yet to be fully acknowledged by the international community.

In Terror in Chechnya, ...
Insurgent Feminisms
Insurgent Feminisms: Writing War brings together ten years of writing published in Warscapes magazine through the lens of gender and advances a new paradigm of war writing. War is always, ultimately, fought upon the backs of women, often under the pretense of saving them. Yet, along the way, the brutalities unleashed on women during wartime remain relentless. In this collection, insurgency emerges in the raw and meticulous language of witnessing, and in the desire to render the space of conflict in radically different ways. There are no paeans to courageous soldiers here, nor pat nationalist rhetoric, nor bravado about saving lives. These perspectives on war come out of regions and positions...
The Return of the Cold War
This book examines the crisis in Ukraine, tracing its development and analysing the factors which lie behind it. It discusses above all how the two sides have engaged in political posturing, accusations, escalating sanctions and further escalating threats, arguing that the ease with which both sides have reverted to a Cold War mentality demonstrates that the Cold War belief systems never really disappeared, and that the hopes raised in the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union for a new era in East-West relations were misplaced. The book pays special attention to the often ignored origins of the crisis within Ukraine itself, and the permanent damage caused by the fact that Ukrainians are killing Ukrainians in the eastern parts of the country. It also assesses why Cold War belief systems have re-emerged so easily, and concludes by considering the likely long-term ramifications of the crisis, arguing that the deep-rooted lack of trust makes the possibility of compromise even harder than in the original Cold War.
