Terrorist organizations and international criminal networks pose an increasingly severe danger to US security. Who are these rivals who threaten us? What do they want to achieve? This book looks at diverse groups such as Al Qaeda, its jihadist fellow travelers as well as Hezbollah and its terrorist sponsor, Iran. Other chapters examine Hamas, Jemaah Islamiyah, the FARC, the Mexican drug cartels, and the criminal gang, Mara Salvatrucha 13. Pakistan, where jihadists pose an extreme security threat, is another focus as is a chapter on terrorist WMD threats. This look at sub-state rivals is recommended to all serious students of international security.

This title was first published in 2003. In the 1980s, discussions on urban, regional and international development were dominated by those advocating liberalism and free markets. In the 1990s, the experiences of many countries from the previous Soviet Union and those following socialist development models in the South have led to a renewed interest in the democratic institutions that underpin economic development processes. Thus, the state has come back into focus as an "enabler", a co-ordinating agency working with a variety of other organizations in different forms of partnership aimed at urban and regional development. At the same time, increasing disparities between rich and poor have led poor urban households to organize collectively against poverty and to promote community and neighbourhood development. This title examines how both these processes take place, looking at patterns of fundamental re-aligning between state, civil society and the market in an integrated manner. It focuses on urban and regional development, because at the local and regional levels the direct interface between local government, the local and global market, and civil society organizations occurs. The question of re-alignment is considered from three main perspectives: governance and community organization issues at local level, urban areas as motors of economic development and their interface with globalization processes, and urban areas as the nodes of regional development. In each part of the book, one of these perspectives is taken. The contributions of the different authors are grouped around these complementary perspectives. Changing alignment patterns also have far-reaching implications. In the last section, the relation between research and policy around these issues is considered, based on reflections by policy makers and academics who have been influential both nationally and internationally.

Wenn auch die Anzahl derjenigen, die den Inhalt dieses Buches durcharbeiten und in sich aufnehmen werden, nicht allzu gross sein wird, so meinten wir doch. es herausgeben zu mussen. Ausser bei denjenigen, die auf dem Gebiet des Garten- baus arbeiten, wird es zweifellos auch bei anderen Interesse finden. Durch die weitere Entwicklung der Forschung ist es notwendig geworden, dass diejenigen. die die Ergebnisse verarbeiten und die Folgerungen daraus ziehen mussen, gut orientiert sind uber die Methoden, die hierfur bestehen. Statt dass alle Unter- sucher sich in diese nicht immer einfache Materie einarbeiteten, hielten wir es fur wunschenswert, dass einer sich hierin spezialisierte. Alle diejenigen, die diese Ergebnisse bei ihrer Arbeit noetig haben, werden Herrn Dipl. -Ing. J. J. POST dankbar sein, dass er ihnen das Ergebnis seiner Arbeit in dieser Form zur Verfugung stellt. A. W. van de Plassehe. Vorwort zur deutschen Ausgabe. Die Bemuhungen um eine richtige Deutung der Ergebnisse biologischer Unter- suchungen haben in den vergangenen Jahren die Herausgabe einer Anzahl von Lehrbuchern und kurzeren Anleitungen fur die statistische Auswertung von Ver- suchsdaten veranlasst. Die groesseren Werke, die sich mit den Grundlagen der biologischen Statistik befassen, sind aber so umfangreich, dass vielen die Zeit fehlen wird, sie grundlich durchzuarbeiten, wahrend die kurz gefassten Anleitungen sich fast ausschliesslich mit den einfachen Methoden befassen, die fur eine ausreichende Auswertung von umfangreichen Versuchsreihen nicht genugen.

Following in the path of her distinguished Puritan forebears, Hannah Mather Crocker used her skills as a writer primarily to persuade. Unlike those forebears, however, she did not begin her career as a published writer until well into middle age, after the death of her husband, Joseph Crocker, and after having raised ten children. The works collected here include previously unpublished poetry, drama, memoirs, sermons, and essays on American identity, education, and history, as well as the three texts published in her lifetime. This volume is named for her most famous work, "Observations on the Real Rights of Women." Originally published in 1818, it is widely considered the first published treatise on women's rights written by an American woman and serves as a rare example of women's views of their own roles within the early American republic. This collection also mirrors the many changes that occurred in the United States during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, highlighting the shift in attitude toward women's rights, education, and other reform movements as well as the American Revolution. Crocker's writing provides a rare and valuable window into the concerns of women who embodied Enlightenment ideals during the years of the early republic.
