Since ancient times, terror tactics have been used to achieve
political ends and likely will continue into the foreseeable
future. Preserving national security and the safety of civilian
populations while maintaining democratic principles and respecting
human rights requires a delicate balancing act. In democracies,
monitoring that balance typically falls to the courts. Courts and
Terrorism examines how judiciaries in nine separate nations have
responded, not just to the current wave of Al Qaeda threats, but
also to nacro-trafficking, domestic terrorism, and organized crime
syndicates. Terrorism is not a new phenomenon, and even though the
reactions have varied significantly, common themes emerge. This
volume discusses eleven case studies and analyzes the experiences
of these various nations in their battles with terrorism to reveal
the judicial quandary for democratic governance and the rule of law
in the twenty-first century.
Now in a fully revised and updated edition, this balanced and
clearly written text explores globalization and its impact from
economic, political, social, environmental, and cultural
perspectives. Providing a framework and platform for student
learning, the book gives readers the tools to unravel the
complexities of globalization in all its facets. Lui Hebron and
John Stack note that as a hot-button term, globalization is used to
describe any number of changes within, among, and between societies
and states. Their goal is to reduce the noise engulfing debates and
interpretations of one of the most dynamic, contested, applauded,
and disparaged phenomena of the twenty-first century. Arguing that
current assessments-both positive and negative-of globalization are
overblown, the authors treat the dramatically changing landscapes
of world politics as less a revolution than an evolution of already
established structures and patterns of transnational relations.
They trace how globalization has affected individuals, societies,
states, and intergovernmental and supranational organizations.
Making sense of a world seemingly smaller and incomprehensibly
larger, simultaneously centralizing and fragmenting, Globalization:
Debunking the Myths offers both an indispensable introduction for
undergraduates and a concise review for more advanced students.
