All About Terrorism
Answers all the questions you're too afraid to ask about terrorism. Did the events of September 11 really change the world? Why would a person agree to become a suicide bomber? How effective are our intelligence agencies? Should the govenment bring our troops home from Iraq? Would a national ID card system make Australians safer? In this book, Keith Suter, author of the popular Local Notebook and Global Notebook, answers all the questions you're too afraid to ask about terrorism. In simple, no-nonsense language, Suter gives a concise overview of the history and politics of terrorism, examining conflicts in the Middle East, Russia, Northern Ireland, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and other parts of the world. He discusses all the big issues, both local and international - from the best way to deal with 'rogue states' to the likelihood of a terrorist attack on Australia. This book is the perfect backgrounder for anyone who wants a better understanding of the events covered every day in the news.
Global Order and Global Disorder
Describes the changing global structure at the beginning of the twenty-first century. Posits the end of the current world order, the decline of the nation-state and the rise of globalization. Examines the increasing influence of transnational corporations in national economies, the growing recognition of intergovernmental organizations to defend human rights and the capacity of civil society networks to raise public awareness and effect change.
In Defence of Globalisation
Globalization has polarised the community. Economic commentators and political leaders extol its virtues, yet many people see it as a source of insecurity and instability. Gobalization need not disadvantage less well-off groups in the community, says Keith Suter, one of Australia's leading commentators on global issues. Suter argues that we need to harness the benefits of globalization to ensure that the next century is not a period of deepening inequality and social conflict. This book should be a useful insight for readers with an interest in current affairs, politics, and contemporary issues.
