Originally published in 1914, this text describes L.T. Headland and
his wife's experience in China in the early twentieth century. With
a focus on home life this study explores issues such as children,
marriage and education as well as food, religion and concubinage as
well as presenting anecdotes and personal stories from the families
Headland interacted with. This title will be of interest to
students of Asian Studies and Anthropology.
States across the globe spend billions of dollars fighting
terrorism annually. As well as strategic questions about the way in
which the money should be spent, we are also confronted with a host
of moral issues here, many of which are poorly understood. The
Ethics of Counterterrorism offers the first systematic normative
theory for guiding, assessing, and criticising counterterrorist
policy. Many commentators claim that state actors combating
terrorism should set aside ordinary moral and legal frameworks, and
instead bind themselves by a different (and, generally, more
permissive) set of ethical rules than is appropriate in other
areas. The book assesses arguments for this view, and more
specifically investigates whether widely-endorsed restrictions on
state action in the areas of surveillance, policing, armed
conflict, criminal justice, diplomacy, and cultural integration
need to be weakened when we are confronted with terrorist threats.
With its novel overall framework for assessing counterterrorist
strategies, its comprehensive analysis of existing practices, and
its bringing the tools of analytic philosophy to bear on new
questions regarding how states can fight terrorism both effectively
and morally, The Ethics of Counterterrorism promises to be an
important point of reference for future debates in this area.
