Avoiding the Abyss: Progress, Shortfalls, and the Way Ahead in Combating the WMD Threat $49.95 In December 1993, Secretary of Defense Les Aspin announced the Counterproliferation Initiative, a response to President Clinton’s assertion that if we do not stem the proliferation of the world’s deadliest weapons, no democracy can feel secure. This timely book brings together contributions from a wide range of experts to help readers understand how far the nation has come since then—and what still needs to happen.Insightful essays examine: arms control treaty programs; export control regimes; interdiction; diplomatic/economic/political persuasion and sanctions; deterrence; counterforce; active and passive defense; and consequence management. Many positive changes have occurred since 1993. Regime changes in Iraq and South Africa have removed some WMD proliferation threats. Saddam Hussein has been overthrown, and a new Iraq is beginning to emerge. South Africa’s clandestine WMD program has apparently ended. Libya announced it has given up its efforts to have active WMD programs. The Taliban and al Qaeda have been routed in Afghanistan, probably delaying efforts to develop or buy WMD.Yet, states continue to develop and export WMD and/or their delivery systems. As many as 30 states are still believed to have either a nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons program. Some have all three. India and Pakistan have acknowledged programs. Abdul Qadeer Khan, the scientist who directed the Pakistani A-bomb program, has admitted selling nuclear weapons designs, and nuclear enrichment equipment to Libya, Iran, and North Korea. His colleagues have held discussions with al Qaeda representatives. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, number two in the al Qaeda chain of command, claims that the terrorist organization has several suitcase A-bombs from the Former Soviet Union. It appears clear to many that Iran has a desire to develop nuclear weapons. Syria still has a chemical weapons program. North Korea’s WMD profile has escalated.As Avoiding the Abyss so |

Somalia: State Collapse, Terrorism and Piracy $139.58 The situation in Somalia today embodies some of the most pressing issues in international relations. How should the international community deal with the collapsed state that is Somalia? From the presence of al-Qaeda operatives to pirates, to what extent is Somalia a threat to global peace and commerce?

The book is written to appeal to a wide audience, from specialists in international security, development and/or humanitarian issues, to students and casual readers.

Terrorism Financing and State Responses: A Comparative Perspective $64.63 Financial and material resources are correctly perceived as the life blood of terrorist operations, and governments have determined that fighting the financial infrastructure of terrorist organizations is the key to their defeat. Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, a good deal has been learned about sources and mechanisms used to finance the “new” terrorism, which is religiously motivated and exponentially more deadly than previous generations of terrorist organizations. New policies have been devised to combat the threat and existing policies have been enacted with greater vigor than ever before. Five years into the battle against terrorist financing, it is time to take stock of the emerging literature on terrorist financing, cut through a number of myths that have developed around the issue, and assess the current policy debates.Through a series of thematic chapters and organizational and regional case studies—examining terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, and regions such as East Africa, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and South East Asia—the authors provide a comprehensive assessment of the state of our knowledge about the nature of terrorism financing, and the evolution and effectiveness of terrorist strategies and government responses. This volume focuses on the preferences of major actors within terrorist networks and government agencies and the domestic and international contexts in which they make decisions and execute their strategies. It argues that both terrorism financing and government responses face problems of coordination, oversight, and information asymmetries that render them vulnerable to disruption. |

Terrorism and the Olympics: Major Event Security and Lessons for the Future $127.67 The book aims to outline the progress, problems and challenges of delivering a safe and secure Olympics in the context of the contemporary serious and enduring terrorist threat. The enormous media profile and symbolic significance of the Olympic Games, the history of terrorists aiming to use such high-profile events to advance their cause, and Al Qaeda’s aim to cause mass casualties, all have major implications for the security of London 2012.Drawing on contributions from leading academics and practitioners in the field the book will assess the current terrorist threat, particularly focusing on terrorist targeting and how the Olympics might feature in this, before addressing particular response themes such as transport security, the role of surveillance, resilient designing of Olympic sites, the role of private security, and the challenge of inter-agency coordination. The book will conclude by providing an assessment of the legacy of Olympic security to date and will discuss the anticipated issues and dilemmas of the future.This book will be of interest to students of terrorism studies, security studies, counter-terrorism and sports studies. |

The Cannons of Armageddon: A Terrorist Perfect Storm $18.84 The Cannons of Armageddon is a chilling illustration (64 pages non-fiction, 222 pages fiction) of a very plausable nuclear terrorist attack by al Qaeda and Iran against an America whose populaton and electronic infrastructure is currently so vunerable and unprepared that modern technological civilization is destroyed in most of our country. As was the case in the use of large airplanes loaded with thousands of gallons of aviation fuel as potential WMD prior the 911 attacks, few people realize how easily crude Hiroshima size atomic bombs (uranuim “gun assembly” devices) could be built and what an existential threat to America terrorists represent once they posses weapons grade nuclear material for the small explosive cores these devices. The non-fiction chapters form the scientific, geo-political and theological basis for a frightening plot: In an attack later in this decade America suffers damages of biblical proportions and suddenly people find themselves in a world turned upside down with a government helpless to return the country to a semblance of civilization. When no city is safe from sudden nuclear destruction & critical infrastructure on which our high tech civilization depends ceases to exist, chaos and a desperate struggle to survive ensues as millions are without the last 100 years of technical progress, including a family fighting to survive the winter in a New England cut off from the outside world and plunged into a mid-evil darkness. |

Understanding Violent Radicalisation: Terrorist and Jihadist Movements in Europe $37.77 This is the first book to address in depth the interplay between radicalisation and political violence in Europe, as well as the effectiveness of counter-measures. As evidenced from the multitude of intercepted plots across several European cities since 2001, the threat level and the intensity of the desire to perpetrate mass-casualty attacks within Europe is not diminishing. While violent radicalization has gradually moved to the top of the EU counterterrorism agenda, it has been accompanied by a relatively embryonic understanding about the processes and interplay of factors that contribute to radicalization, which are played out differently in cities like Paris, Rome, London and Copenhagen. Undoubtedly, there are common factors at the global and regional levels that facilitate radicalization, but it is also clear that radicalization is very context dependent. This book provides crucial insights into different ways to understand violent radicalization within national contexts and the challenges addressing the many pathways into terrorism inspired by al-Qaeda and other forms of Islamic extremism. This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism studies and political violence, counter-terrorism, EU politics, security studies and IR in general.Magnus Ranstorp is Research Director of the Center for Asymmetric Threat Studies at the Swedish National Defence College and a Member of EU Expert Groups on (Violent) Radicalisation. He has twenty years of experience in research on counterterrorism issues and testified at the 9/11 Commission Hearing. |
