Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Chief among the documents collected are transcripts of Congressional testimony, reports by such federal government bodies as the Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office, and case law covering issues related to terrorism. Most volumes carry a single theme, and inside each volume the documents appear within topic-based categories. The series also includes a subject index and other indices that guide the user through this complex area of the law. Terrorism in Pakistan's value to researchers of Pakistani terrorism issues is immediately evident from the organization of the salient documents therein: first Pakistan's security law (in statutes and international agreements), then Pakistan's reports to the UN, UN resolutions on Pakistani terrorism developments, next some U.S. perspectives on the problem, and lastly the perspectives of international groups (including a message from al-Qaeda). Since Pakistan's national efforts at thwarting internal terrorist activity have largely failed, this volume's combination of perspectives from inside the country with those from elsewhere yields a full and thoughtful picture for researchers delving into this complex arena, where history, religious extremism, and international political imperatives meet. The impact of jihadist training and organization within Pakistan extends far beyond its borders, and so any scholarly treatment of this subject must include both that discussion of domestic measures and that survey of international responses to those measures. Researchers will find in this volume the full spectrum of legal and political debate that revolves around this troubled country.
Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort.

The series also includes a subject index and other indices that guide the user through this complex area of the law. Overall, the series keeps users up to date on the panoply of terrorism issues now facing the U.S. and the world. Terrorism in India takes researchers inside a country currently reeling from its own major terrorist assault: India. For the first time, the Terrorism series devotes a full volume to that country's anti-terrorism policy and security challenges. The documents presented here include both background legislation and recent government responses to the Mumbai attacks.

Cyberterrorism: Evolving Perceptions of the Threat focuses exclusively on the threat of cyberterrorism in the U.S. General Editor Lovelace has for this volume selected authoritative documents demonstrating the current homeland vulnerabilities to such an attack. By presenting these documents and by using his commentary to assess the extent of such threats and vulnerabilities, Lovelace has constructed a valuable one-stop resource for researching the prospect of computer-based and internet-based terrorism.

Use of Contractors in the War Against Terrorists explores the controversial issue of defense contractors. In selecting documents for this volume and in writing expert commentary for it, General Editor Lovelace has focused almost entirely on the current U.S. military's use of contractors in Iraq. Although other books have addressed the problem of military contracting, this volume constitutes a rare combination of primary material and new commentary on this developing issue.

Detainee Treatment, Interrogation and Extraordinary Rendition in the War Against Terrorists leads researchers through the legal background to the headline-grabbing issue of coercive interrogation. The centerpiece of the volume is the section on the Yoo memo, a document prepared by the Bush Administration to lay the supposedly legal foundation for torturing detainees suspected of terrorism. While many press reports have discussed and partially quoted the memorandum, this volume constitutes the first publication of both the memo's full text and expert commentary thereof. General Editor Douglas Lovelace also equips readers with the background treaties and statutes necessary to understand the issue (the U.N. Convention Against Torture, the McCain Amendment to the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, etc.), and he in turn makes those laws more comprehensible with his own thought-provoking analysis of them. Now that the question of torture's legality has become such a prominent topic in law school classrooms and in the halls of Congress, both students and policymakers will find a uniquely comprehensive and accessible resource for their queries in Volume 95 of Terrorism.

Managing the Nation's Borders During the Global War Against Terrorists presents three viewpoints on the problem of securing U.S. borders: the U.S. government's self-assessment, the often critical judgment of independent agencies like the Government Accountability Office ("GAO") and the Congressional Research Service ("CRS"), and General Editor Douglas C. Lovelace's own critique both of the governmental pronouncements and of those GAO/CRS reports. By presenting both the text of border-related regulations and these three perspectives on those regulations' effectiveness, Lovelace provides researchers with a one-volume, comprehensive exposition of the topical issue of border security. Even more importantly, the documents and commentary in this volume will provoke policymakers and other government staff into thinking differently and creatively about the challenge of securing borders that extend for thousands of miles over often harsh terrain. For example, Lovelace and some of the included authors challenge the notion that physical barriers alone will impede the entry of terrorists. Similarly, Lovelace here encourages his readers to envision borders not just as a means to regulate crime but also as a vehicle for international cooperation between, in this case, the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. This volume is essential for any researcher seeking a current, tough-minded analysis of U.S. border security.

Lebanon and Hezbollah charts the course of Hezbollah's rise and Lebanon-based violence over the last five tumultuous years of that country's history. The documents collected in this volume demonstrate not just key details in Hezbollah's direct war on Israel but also the organization's public relations and financial efforts, both over the Internet and in collaboration with Iran. But this volume's usefulness can be found not just in its detailed history of Hezbollah's multi-front campaign but also in several documents' analysis of the suffering endured by Lebanese citizens, including the harm wrought by Israel's response to Hezbollah. To complete the picture of Lebanon's difficult recent history, Volume 92 also provides two classes of UN documents: Lebanon's own reports on its counter-terror work, and the Security Council's measures related to the tribunal investigating Hariri's assassination. For researchers seeking one volume in which all parties affected by the Lebanese crisis present their view, this volume will prove quite valuable.
Volume 89 introduces Terrorism researchers to the realm of European
Union security law. With an ever-expanding immigrant population and
a rising Islamic presence within Europe, the EU's quickly
developing security law demands the kind of topically organized
document collection that Volume 89 constitutes. A key feature of
this volume is the section devoted to case law from the European
Court of Justice, which has addressed the delicate legal issue of
defining and categorizing philanthropic organizations as
terrorist-supporting groups. This volume also features the text of
European Parliament measures that regulate the flow of money to
terrorist groups. Given the prominence of these questions in
non-European countries as well, this volume will serve as a unique
research tool for scholars and policymakers around the world.
This book explores the relationship between strategic planning and doctrine at the joint level.
