Contemporary Suicide Terrorism: Origins, Trends and Ways of Tackling It
Suicide terrorism represents a tangible challenge to national, regional and global security. This much is not in question; but opinions differ, conceptually and normatively, as to its root causes, factors and motives.This book presents the research papers delivered at the conference ‛Contemporary Suicide Terrorism: Origins, Trends and Ways of Tackling it’ held in Astana, Kazakhstan, in September 2010. The conference was funded by the NATO Science for Peace and Security Programme, and provided a forum for dialogue and discussion between scholars and security practitioners from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Israel, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Morocco, Romania and Russia. The foc...

Conflict and Peace in Western Sahara
This book offers the first comprehensive analysis of MINURSO (the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara), focused on its activities, composition, purpose, and operational future in Western Sahara, the world’s last colony. The book’s focus is broad, examining MINURSO from key historical, legal, military and political angles whilst assessing the future of UN peacekeeping missions in the Western Sahara. Supported by a diverse, international mix of perspectives and professions—including academics, lawyers, soldiers, and humanitarian aid workers—an in-depth view of MINURSO is provided, rooted in practical Western Saharan field experience. The authors reveal the compl...
Politics and Power in the Maghreb
The overthrow of the regime of President Ben Ali in Tunisia on 14 January 2011 took the world by surprise. The popular revolt in this small Arab country and the effect it had on the wider Arab world prompted questions as to why there had been so little awareness of it up until that point. It also revealed a more general lack of knowledge about the surrounding western part of the Arab world, or the Maghreb, which had long attracted a tiny fraction of the outside interest shown in the eastern Arab world of Egypt, the Levant and the Gulf. This book examines the politics of the three states of the central Maghreb--Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco--since their achievement of independence from European colonial rule in the 1950s and 1960s. It explains the political dynamics of the region by looking at the roles played by the military, political parties and Islamist movements and addresses factors such as Berber identity and economics, as well as how the states of the region interact with each other and with the wider world. -- Provided by publisher.
La dimension islamique dans la politique étrangère du Maroc
Ce livre s'attache à analyser les usages que le Maroc fait de l'islam dans sa politique étrangère. Il s'agit de décrypter les acteurs, le processus de décision, les moyens, les objectifs et les limites de cette instrumentalisation dans une période qui s'étend sur les années 1991-2008. Dans ce cadre, la diplomatie marocaine a intégré le facteur islamique dans ses relations extérieures depuis- l'indépendance et lui a toujours gardé une place de choix durant la guerre froide. Cette ligne diplomatique a été favorisée et maintenue par Hassan II et Mohamed VI après le 11 septembre, bien qu'elle subisse actuellement des réformes très importantes au niveau de la conception et de l'action. Une étude comparée de la dimension islamique dans la politique étrangère du Maroc, entre les deux chefs de l'État (Hassan II et Mohamed V), est nécessaire pour mettre en perspective les innovations apportées par Mohamed VI à une politique qu'on attribue souvent à Hassan II.
African Development, African Transformation
A deep insight into the emergence and persistence of new continental development institutions in Africa and their capacity to affect development outcomes.
Historical Dictionary of Morocco
A historical reference work on Morocco must take as its subject al-maghrib al-aqsa (the far west) as the Arabic scholars have generally referred to the approximate region of present-day Morocco, roughly the north-west corner of Africa but at times including much of the Iberian peninsula, because the modern nation-state is a relatively recent creation owing much to events in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. External influences on Morocco tend to come across the narrow straits of Gibraltar to the north, from the east along the Mediterranean litoral, or up from the Sahara. In each case, access is constrained by geography and continued control from outside the region has been difficult to...
Mauritania and Newly Emerging Economies in Africa Turkey and China
We are delighted to introduce the latest USAK Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies report, “Mauritania and Newly Emerging Economies in Africa; Turkey and China”, which evaluates Mauritanian relations with Turkey and China, two increasingly dominant actors in this country. After laying out the country’s profile from various perspectives, the report chronicles the overall progress of economic and political relations between Turkey and Mauritania, as well as making a review of relations in the areas of military and national security. The question of how economic relations with Turkey can be further developed is also discussed separately. The report which lays out the various economic resources of the country that trigger the interests of emerging powers has also a separate section on China, which has continually extended its political, cultural and economic spheres of influence in all over Africa. In this sense, the report also provides a brief and valuable analysis of Mauritania’s relations with China. This section is important in the sense of providing a yardstick to see in a comparative manner how much Turkey’s relations with Mauritania have in fact developed.
Future NATO
Future NATO looks at the challenges facing NATO in the 21st century and examines how the Alliance can adapt to ensure its continued success For more than 70 years, the North Atlantic Alliance has helped to preserve peace and stability in the Euro-Atlantic area. It has been able to adjust to varying political and strategic challenges. We must ensure that NATO continues to be effective in the future. This requires looking ahead, challenging habitual approaches, exchanging ideas, and advancing new thinking. I highly recommend Future NATO to policymakers, military professionals and scholars alike, as it offers necessary critical and constructive analysis of current and future challenges posed to...
