This book examines British responses to genocide and atrocity in
the Ottoman Empire during the aftermath of World War I. The authors
analyze British humanitarianism and humanitarian intervention
through the advice and policies of the Foreign Office and British
government in London and the actions of Foreign Officers in the
field. British understandings of humanitarianism at the time
revolved around three key elements: good government, atrocity, and
the refugee crises; this ideology of humanitarianism, however, was
challenged by disputed policies of post-war politics and goals
regarding the Near East. This resulted in limited intervention
methods available to those on the ground but did not necessarily
result in the forfeiture of the belief in humanitarianism amongst
the local British officials charged with upholding it. This study
shows that the tension between altruism and political gain weakened
British power in the region, influencing the continuation of
violence and repression long after the date most perceive as the
cessation of WWI. The book is primarily aimed at scholars and
researchers within the field; it is a research monograph and will
be of greatest interest to scholars of genocide, British history,
and refugee studies, as well as for activists and practitioners.

Security threats today are increasingly complex, dynamic, and
asymmetric, and can affect environmental factors like energy,
water, and food supply. As a result, it is becoming evident that
the traditional model of nation-state based security is incomplete,
and that purely military capabilities, though necessary, are
insufficient to protect the United States and other democracies
from the array of threats that challenge liberty and the free flow
of people and commerce. A more complete picture of modern national
security requires a more complete integration of the question of
environmental security. The purpose of text is to better address
the many aspects of environmental security and to represent this
major area of academic research in an introductory text format that
can be used in the rapidly growing number of homeland security
studies programs as well as related degree programs. The concepts,
challenges, and case studies in this text vitally extended such
curricula, giving students a deeper appreciation for the critical
role environmental security plays in overall state security, as
well as for our nation, our way of life, and indeed for the human
race at large.
