A War on Terror?
Marianne Wade and Almir Maljevi? Although the worries about terrorism paled in comparison to the economic crisis as a topic during the last US election, one can find plenty of grounds to assume that they remain issue number one in the minds of politicians in Europe. As the German houses of Parliament prepare to call in the mediation committee in the discussion of legislation which would provide the Federal Police – thus far mandated purely with the post-facto investigation of crime – with powers to act to prevent acts of terrorism, Spain’s struggle with ETA and the British Government licks its wounds after a resounding defeat of its latest anti-terrorist proposals by the House of Lords...
Financial Crimes
Financial market reform has focused chiefly on the threats to stability arising from the risky, uncontrolled activity of the leaders of financial institutions. Nevertheless, organized crime, white-collar crime, and corruption have a huge impact on financial systems worldwide and must also be confronted if true reform is to be achieved. A collection of articles written by experts in their fields of study, Financial Crimes: A Threat to Global Security spotlights the importance of addressing the problem of illegal financial activity as part of a greater comprehensive plan for reforming the financial sector. Drawn from the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Academic Council on the United Nations System ...
Fraud and Corruption
This textbook provides an overview of the major types of fraud and corrupt activities found in private and public agencies, as well as the various methods used to prevent fraud and corruption. It explores where opportunities for fraud exist, the personal characteristics of those who engage in fraud, as well as their prevention and control.

Politiker, Patrioten, Profiteure
Die Europäische Union ist ihrer größten Belastungsprobe seit Beginn der europäischen Integration nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ausgesetzt. Nicht nur geht das Gespenst des Nationalismus wieder um, auch die anhaltende globale Finanzkrise, die Turbulenzen innerhalb der Europäischen Währungsunion, eine historisch hohe Arbeitslosenquote und wachsende Zuwanderung stellen den Gemeinsinn in Europa auf die bislang größte und schwierigste Probe. Wolfgang Hetzer zeigt mit bislang unerreichter strategischer Klarheit, welche wirtschaftlichen und friedensbedrohenden Folgen in der gegenwärtigen Lage allen Menschen eines ganzen Kontinents drohen können.
Finanzkrieg
Der Kapitalismus ist heute zu einer akuten Bedrohung der Stabilität des Weltwirtschaftssystems geworden. Der amoralische Irrwitz der Finanzmarktakteure und die Entscheidungsschwäche der Politik haben nicht nur zur flächendeckenden Vernichtung von Volksvermögen geführt. Sie haben sogar Feindseligkeiten zwischen Staaten hervorgerufen, die sich nach der Katastrophe zweier Weltkriege in Gemeinschaften und Bündnissen zusammengeschlossen hatten. Inzwischen prallen die unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen über Ziele und Methoden kapitalistischen Wirtschaftens immer härter aufeinander. Wolfgang Hetzer untersucht als erster, wie es zu dieser gefährlichsten Bedrohung des Weltfriedens seit dem Ende der Ost-West Spaltung kommen konnte.
Die Euro-Party ist vorbei
Mehr Europa oder kein Europa? In der Europäischen Union entscheidet sich das Schicksal von über 500 Millionen Menschen. Die politische und wirtschaftliche Stabilität eines ganzen Kontinents scheint mittlerweile vom Erfolg der Europäischen Währungsunion abzuhängen. Die Identität und das Selbstbewusstsein der Völker Europas sind zwar nicht vornehmlich in Geld auszudrücken. Der Wille zum weiteren friedlichen Aufbau Europas durch Solidarität und Solidität sowie die Sicherung des allgemeinen Wohlstands durch fairen Wettbewerb kann durch den Euro aber dann gestärkt und gefördert werden, wenn die Folgen politischer Fehlentscheidungen beseitigt sind. Der Autor beweist, dass es allerhöc...
Corruption and Democracy
Political corruption contributes to the decline of citizens' trust and confidence in democracy and weakens democratic principles and processes. The contributions in this book identify risks that corruption poses to the future of democracy in Europe, and propose a wide range of measures for action which are aimed at preventing political corruption (including undue influence on the justice system), enhancing transparency and accountability, and rebuilding confidence in democracy.--Publisher's description.
Aboriginal Justice and the Charter
Aboriginal Justice and the Charter explores the tension between Aboriginal justice methods and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, seeking practical ways to implement Aboriginal justice. David Milward examines nine legal rights guaranteed by the Charter and undertakes a thorough search for interpretations sensitive to Aboriginal culture. Much of the previous literature in this area has dealt with idealized notions of what Aboriginal justice might be. Here, David Milward strikes out into new territory to examine why Indigenous communities seek to explore different paths in this area, and to identify some of the applicable constitutional constraints. This book considers a number of specific areas of the criminal justice process in which Indigenous communities may wish to adopt different approaches, tests these approaches against constitutional imperatives, and offers practical proposals for reconciling the various matters at stake. Milward grapples with the difficult questions of how Aboriginal justice systems can be fair to its constituents while complying with the protections guaranteed all Canadians by the Charter.
Citizenship and Collective Identity in Europe
This book is the first monograph to systematically explore the relationship between citizenship and collective identity in the European Union, integrating two fields of research – citizenship and collective identity. Karolewski argues that various types of citizenship correlate with differing collective identities and demonstrates the link between citizenship and collective identity. He constructs three generic models of citizenship including the republican, the liberal and the caesarean citizenship to which he ascribes types of collective identity. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book integrates concepts, theories and empirical findings from sociology (in the field of citizenship ...
