Exploring Hate
Charlottesville. Pittsburgh. New Zealand. The threat of real-world violence from hateful extremism is growing. In the wake of these and other attacks, there is an increasing public outcry for governments, tech companies, and others to address the deadly effects of hate-inspired violence. As extremists and hate groups become savvier at mobilizing through social media, there will be ever more intense calls for stronger, swifter responses. Yet these responses must be based on research and data, rather than fear and intuition. In order to formulate the right responses, there are still many unanswered questions that must be addressed. What are the actual constellations and contours of hate groups...
US Counter-terrorism Strategy and Al-Qaeda
This book examines the communicative aspects and implications of US counter-terrorist policies towards al-Qaeda. Recent US counter-terrorist strategy has been largely based upon projecting certain perceptions of America as an actor to those drawn to al-Qaeda, and this book investigates in what ways, and to what extent, US officials believed that the signals sent by what America did and said could influence the behaviour of the terrorist and would-be terrorist. The study then draws on a growing understanding of that audience to analyse how those drawn to al-Qaeda were and, indeed, still are likely to be influenced by the perceptions of America that Washington's policies generated. The study's...

Cybercrime
This concise volume takes care of two major issues at once; providing readers with a more worldwide view than American-centric information, and educating readers about cybercrime. This volume of essays from international sources explores the vulnerability of countries and people to cybercrime. Readers will explore cybercrime law worldwide, and take a look at the role of organized crime in cybercrime. They will also take a deep dive into cyber espionage and cyber terrorism. Countries and cultures that readers will learn about include South Africa, Singapore, Pakistan, China, Canada, Thailand, Australia, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
Bluster
Defeating terrorism was one of Donald Trump's key campaign promises. But there is no easy way to make sense of Donald Trump's war on terror. Is it all bluster, aimed at mobilising his base, or does it represent a genuine shift from previous administrations? Since Trump took office, American counterterrorism has become more militaristic and less interested in causes and consequences. Relationships with foreign partners have deteriorated and right-wing extremists feel powerful and emboldened. The most significant change of paradigm-the conflation of terrorism, immigration, and Islam-has not just resulted in costly failures, such as the "Muslim ban," but also undermined the trust of immigrant communities and multiculturalism in the US. In Bluster, Peter Neumann assesses Trump's approach to countering terrorism, and argues that his war on terror looks strong and powerful in the short term, but will cause damage over time. The president has not just failed to provide a strategic framework for defeating terrorism; his entire approach has made the world less safe and undermined America's greatest 'soft power' asset-the very idea of America.
Cashing In on Cyberpower
As the world has become increasingly digitally interconnected, military leaders and other actors are ditching symmetric power strategies in favor of cyberstrategies. Cyberpower enables actors to change actual economic outcomes without the massive resource investment required for military force deployments. Cashing In on Cyberpower addresses the question, Why and to what end are state and nonstate actors using cybertools to influence economic outcomes? The most devastating uses of cyberpower can include intellectual property theft, espionage to uncover carefully planned trade strategies, and outright market manipulation through resource and currency values. Offering eight hypotheses to addres...
Coming Home
THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the nine-time WNBA all-star and two-time Olympic gold medallist Brittney Griner - a raw, revelatory account of her unfathomable detainment in Russia and her journey home. On 17 February 2022, Brittney Griner arrived in Moscow ready to spend the WNBA off-season playing for the Russian women's basketball team for which she had been the centrepiece of previous championship seasons. Instead, a security checkpoint became her gateway to hell when she was arrested for mistakenly carrying less than one gram of medically prescribed cannabis oil. Brittney's world was violently upended, a crisis she has never spoken in detail about publicly - until now. In Coming ...
