Enough to Make You Sick...
● Are there maggots in your mushrooms? ● Is your drywall reeking of sulfur and turning your silver black? ● What are the secrets that restaurants don't want you to know? ● What's worse...tainted or counterfeit products? ● Has China turned a blind eye or tried to cover up? ● What is the price to pay for food safety? ● Is it time to ban all imports from China? While the Chinese knowingly and intentionally export inferior products and dangerous toys, food, prescriptions and any type of goods to America, we keep buying them and putting our lives in danger. There is enough going on to make you sick, as most imports are not inspected! Even Wal-Mart cracked down on Chinese suppliers. After years of F.D.A. and congressional investigations, testimony and posturing, are we any safer? Basically, the government has failed to improve the safety of products ─ the cheapest stuff is the riskiest! Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy and if it says 'MADE IN CHINA' or 'PRC' just choose another product or none at all. Is this the decline and fall of the American Economy? Is off-shoring our security Enough to Make You Sick...?
Food Safety Law in China
This book is the first major study of the making of transnational food safety law in China. Francis Snyder shows how the 2008 melamine infant formula crisis led to China’s first food safety law and new food safety standards, substantial reforms in government policy and closer relations with international organisations. He also identifies current and future challenges and makes recommendations for dealing with them. Chinese food safety law today is influenced strongly by cross-border factors. While transnational regimes help to shape domestic decisions, many institutions deeply embedded in Chinese society have played key roles in this transformation. Francis Snyder emphasises that, in finding its own path toward ensuring food safety, China can both learn from and teach other countries. In May 2017 this title has been awarded a 'Gourmand World Cookbook Award' in Yantai, Shandong Province, China: 'Best in the World' in two categories: 'Best Wine Law Book' and 'Food Safety Institutions'.
Understanding Non-State Actors
Understanding Non-State Actors aims to reduce the scarcity of academic literature on armed non-state actors (NSAs) that have always been a part of world politics and wars. This monograph offers, possibly for the first time, a systematic historical review as well as a substantive theory of NSAs and their arming efforts. From the Jewish rebellions against Rome to the war between the Ukrainian separatists and the Ukrainian government, NSAs’ weapons acquisition has been vital for the build-up of their force, enabling both the employment of that force and its sustainability. While weapons are not necessarily the most important factor in military build-up, NSAs need weapons to fight, and revolts...
Let My People Go
As today's events unfold in the world we live in, we should learn and remember, and we shall overcome all of our enemies if not, forgive them. The people of Israel have made a commitment that no country shall ever succeed in enslaving them again. The lore of revolt and the spirit of freedom will sustain the people of Israel and their children, as they become their own enemies as well. This is the story of one country and its people, their life as a struggle; their death heroism; their sacrifice sacred; their memory eternal. Because Jewish history through the ages has a rich record of martyrs who willingly laid down their lives for the principles of right and justice. Many were those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of the Jewish faith and of the Jewish homeland, including those in the second century BCE. Let My People Go is based on actual correspondence, some of which was presented by Prime Minister Menachem Begin about Dov Gruner. Dov is author Jerry Grunor's cousin, who fought with Mr. Begin in the early 1940s for the independence of Israel.
How Terror Evolves
This book contextualizes the use of terror as part of wider movements of political contention, demonstrating that terroristic innovation occurs as part of wider historical processes rather than in a vacuum. Drawing on evolutionary theory, this study explains how terroristic groups innovate upon, transform, and abandon techniques of political violence in order to advance their causes against the state. The book further traces the processes through which the use of aircraft as weapons of destruction developed, from the first instances of aircraft hijacking in 1930s Peru, through Palestinian terrorism in the 1960s and 1970s, up to its adoption by al-Qaeda in the 1990s and leading to the 9/11 attack in 2001. This examination provides an essential focus on the techniques through which terror is achieved, offering a novel understanding of the mechanisms of political violence and the implications of counterterrorism on the evolution of terrorism
Israel’s Civil-Military Relations and Security Sector Reform
This book examines Israel’s civil-military relations (CMR) in order to explore alternatives to orthodox Western models of security sector reform (SSR) in post-conflict societies. This book argues that the guidelines of SSR have always tended to draw on theoretical work in the field of CMR and focus too heavily on Western, liberal democratic models of governance. Consequently, reform programs based on these guidelines, and intended for use in post-conflict and conflict-affected states, have had, at best, mixed results. The book challenges the necessity for this over-reliance on traditional Western liberal democratic solutions and instead advocates an alternative approach. It proposes that b...
Catastrophe and Redemption
Challenging the prevalent account of Agamben as a pessimistic thinker, Catastrophe and Redemption proposes a reading of his political thought in which the redemptive element of his work is not a curious aside but instead is fundamental to his project. Jessica Whyte considers his critical account of contemporary politics—his argument that Western politics has been "biopolitics" since its inception, his critique of human rights, his argument that the state of exception is now the norm, and the paradigmatic significance he attributes to the concentration camp—and shows that it is in the midst of these catastrophes of the present that Agamben sees the possibility of a form of profane redemption. Whyte outlines the importance of potentiality in his attempt to formulate a new politics, examines his relation to Jewish and Christian strands of messianism, and interrogates the new forms of praxis that he situates within contemporary commodity culture, taking Agamben's thought as a call for the creation of new political forms.
