The International Criminal Court was established in 2002 to
prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide. At its
genesis the ICC was expected to help prevent atrocities from
arising or escalating by ending the impunity of leaders and
administering punishment for the commission of international
crimes. More than a decade later, the ICC's ability to achieve
these broad aims has been questioned, as the ICC has reached only
two guilty verdicts. In addition, some of the world's major powers,
including the United States, Russia and China, are not members of
the ICC. These issues underscore a gap between the ideals of
prevention and deterrence and the reality of the ICC's functioning.
This book explores the gaps, schisms, and contradictions that are
increasingly defining the International Criminal Court, moving
beyond existing legal, international relations, and political
accounts of the ICC to analyse the Court from a criminological
standpoint. By exploring the way different actors engage with the
ICC and viewing the Court through the framework of late modernity,
the book considers how gaps between rhetoric and reality arise in
the work of the ICC. Contrary to much existing research, the book
examines how such gaps and tensions can be productive as they
enable the Court to navigate a complex, international environment
driven by geopolitics. The International Criminal Court and Global
Social Control will be of interest to academics, researchers, and
advanced practitioners in international law, international
relations, criminology, and political science. It will also be of
use in upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate courses related
to international criminal justice and globalization.
Zao Wou-Ki (1920–2013) was the first artist of the Chinese
diaspora to achieve international recognition and was one of
France’s most important painters of the postwar era and beyond.
His large abstract canvases were in step with those of New York
School artists of the late 1940s and ‘50s and emerged from the
growing international impulse for non-objective painting. Zao
married western vanguard painting with Chinese traditions of
calligraphy and ink drawing and in doing so created a powerful
personal aesthetic that was uniquely his own. Drawn largely from
European private collections, the works of art in this catalogue
have almost never been exhibited before and were deeply personal to
Zao. The ceramics consist of two main groups – plates produced in
the late 1970s in association with Sèvres, bearing designs created
by Zao expressly for this purpose, and later designs from the 2000s
painted directly on vases, bowls and plates that were subsequently
editioned by Maison Bernardaud in Limoges. Zao worked in
watercolour throughout his long life and this catalogue features
examples from as early as 1960. But during his last years, the
artist rediscovered the medium with newfound enthusiasm and turned
increasingly to nature as the source of inspiration. In 2008, he
gave up oil painting entirely, and for the next two years,
watercolour was his primary form of expression.
This book is a comprehensive treatment of the theory of persistence
modules over the real line. It presents a set of mathematical tools
to analyse the structure and to establish the stability of such
modules, providing a sound mathematical framework for the study of
persistence diagrams. Completely self-contained, this brief
introduces the notion of persistence measure and makes extensive
use of a new calculus of quiver representations to facilitate
explicit computations. Appealing to both beginners and experts in
the subject, The Structure and Stability of Persistence Modules
provides a purely algebraic presentation of persistence, and thus
complements the existing literature, which focuses mainly on
topological and algorithmic aspects.
This book adopts a critical criminological approach to analyze the
production, representation and role of crime in the emerging
international order. It analyzes the role of power and its
influence on the dynamics of criminalization at an international
level, facilitating an examination of the geopolitics of
international criminal justice. Such an approach to crime is
well-developed in domestic criminology; however, this critical
approach is yet to be used to explore the relationship between
power, crime and justice in an international setting. This book
brings together contrasting opinions on how courts, prosecutors,
judges, NGOs, and other bodies act to reflexively produce the
social reality of international justice. In doing this, it bridges
the gaps between the fields of sociology, criminology,
international relations, political science, and international law
to explore the problems and prospects of international criminal
justice and illustrate the role of crime and criminalization in a
complex, evolving, and contested international society.
Providing you with a wide-ranging introduction to key international
issues in crime and its control, this book covers all essential
theories, and clearly explains their relevance to the world today.
Going beyond just looking at organized crime, the book covers a
range of topics including: Human rights Terrorism Trafficking
Cybercrime Environmental crime International Law Plenty of case
studies and examples are included throughout, including the Bali 9,
Rana Plaza and the shooting of Charles De Menezes , and tips on
further reading make it easy to know where to go to engage with
more debates in the field. Making sure you're up to date with
current issues, this book will be essential reading for students in
Criminology and Criminal Justice, as well as those in Law and
International Relations.

Geometric and topological inference deals with the retrieval of
information about a geometric object using only a finite set of
possibly noisy sample points. It has connections to manifold
learning and provides the mathematical and algorithmic foundations
of the rapidly evolving field of topological data analysis.
Building on a rigorous treatment of simplicial complexes and
distance functions, this self-contained book covers key aspects of
the field, from data representation and combinatorial questions to
manifold reconstruction and persistent homology. It can serve as a
textbook for graduate students or researchers in mathematics,
computer science and engineering interested in a geometric approach
to data science.

Based on the success of the original edition, The Business 2.0
continues to offer Business English students the confidence,
language and fundamentals skills they need to succeed in the
competitive international business environment. Based on feedback
from users, research into business English studies and the
ever-evolving needs of employers The Business 2.0 has been improved
in a number of ways. There is a strong focus on the 'intangible'
business skills - emotional intelligence and interpersonal
abilities. So not only is the student prepared with the business
language and knowledge but also as a well-rounded and receptive
approach to dealing professionally with others. The Business
eWorkbook - an integral part of the course on a personal computer
or laptop. This includes extra language practice, tests and word
lists, and audio and video you can download to a tablet, phone or
MP3 player for on-the-go learning. This replaces the DVD-ROM from
the first edition and new videos for the Advanced and Upper
Intermediate level offer good/bad models for the final speaking
task, including commentaries by a communications expert. This
content is also available for use on a Learner Management System
such as Moodle or Blackboard. This is a compact course that makes
the most of new media to ensure the package is relevant for both
students and teachers. Key Features / What's New - Business
fundamentals - an introduction to business with language and topics
including: business organization, financial control, CVs and
covering letters. - Transparent business links - each module is
clearly linked to either: Personal development, Service, Supply
chain, Management, Sales and marketing, Enterprise, Finance,
International trade - Focus on interpersonal skills - the best
