Confronting Terrorism
This work focuses on terrorism and the struggle against it in Europe - on contemporary experiences, threat perceptions and the policies of several European countries, including the effects produced by the 11 September, 2001 attacks in the US.
Insurgency Online
In Insurgency Online, Michael Dartnell focuses on a new form of conflict made possible by global communications. The Internet, Dartnell argues, is affecting extensive changes to the way politics are carried out, by inserting a range of non-state actors onto the global political stage. He demonstrates that Web activism raises issues about the organization of societies and the distribution of power and contends that the development of online activism has far-reaching social and political implications, with parallels to the influence of the invention of the printing press, the telegraph, and the radio. Dartnell concentrates on Web activists who use the Net as a media tool, distinguishing this u...
Considering the Creation of a Domestic Intelligence Agency in the United States
With terrorism still prominent on the U.S. agenda, whether the country's prevention efforts match the threat the United States faces continues to be central in policy debate. One element of this debate is questioning whether the United States should create a dedicated domestic intelligence agency. Case studies of five other democracies--Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and the UK--provide lessons and common themes that may help policymakers decide. The authors find that * most of the five countries separate the agency that conducts domestic intelligence gathering from any arrest and detention powers * each country has instituted some measure of external oversight over its domestic intelligence agency * liaison with other international, foreign, state, and local agencies helps ensure the best sharing of information * the boundary between domestic and international intelligence activities may be blurring.
Dartnell's Public Relations Handbook
One of the most important trends in recent years has been the integration of public relations into the marketing mix. No longer do corporations view it as a separate, narrow, objective tactic -- a tactic that is isolated from other marketing activities. Today, most marketers understand that public relations must be linked with other marketing disciplines. They recognize that the planning and implementation of a public relations program must harmonize with overall marketing objectives. It is no longer enough for a PR agency executive to be a great press release writer or to establish terrific media contacts. Today, many PR duties are often performed by non-PR personnel. "Dartnell's Public Rel...

To Deter and Punish
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, governments in North America and Western Europe faced a new transnational threat: militants who crossed borders with impunity to commit attacks. These violent actors cooperated in hijacking planes, taking hostages, and organizing assassinations, often in the name of national liberation movements from the decolonizing world. How did this form of political violence become what we know today as “international terrorism”—lacking in legitimacy and categorized first and foremost as a crime? To Deter and Punish examines why and how the United States and its Western European allies came to treat nonstate “terrorists” as a key threat to their security and ...
Action Directe
In defining Action Directe's mixture of millenarianism, workerism and nihilism, this study explains why the group turned to a strategy of murderous strikes and how a revolutionary political faction emerged in a stable western society.
Cartographie de l'anarchisme révolutionnaire
Dans les années 1990 et 2000, les militants anticapitalistes de l’ère postsoviétique ont stupéfait les commentateurs du monde entier en adoptant des idées et des pratiques inspirées de l’anarchisme révolutionnaire, un mouvement prolétaire que beaucoup avaient laissé pour mort sur les barricades de Barcelone en 1939. Le présent ouvrage réaffirme l’importance historique et la portée planétaire de l’anarchisme organisé, en retraçant sa diffusion au-delà des frontières de l’Europe occidentale et de l’Amérique du Nord, vers l’Amérique latine, les Antilles, le Proche-Orient, l’Asie, l’Océanie et l’Afrique. Il raconte ainsi plus de 150 ans d’histoire d’un mouvement dont le destin a suivi cinq vagues de militantisme ouvrier. L’auteur présente et commente les documents théoriques fondamentaux produits au cours de ces cinq vagues pour tenter de répondre à la question qui s’impose à tous ceux qui aspirent à une véritable démocratie populaire : comment la minorité militante doit-elle se situer par rapport aux masses des ouvriers et des démunis ?
