This volume provides a framework for analyzing security sector
reform under international tutelage. Following violent conflict and
military interventions, international organizations or coalitions
of countries increasingly engage in post-conflict reconstruction.
Part of the international post-conflict agenda is the
'reconstruction' or 'reform' of the security sector (SSR). In
post-conflict situations, the security sector is often
characterized by politicization, ethnicization, corruption of the
security services, excessive military spending, lack of
professionalism, poor oversight and inefficient allocation of
resources. At the same time, there is great need for effective and
efficient (re-)establishment of a legitimate monopoly of force.
While initially this is in the purview of the external intervention
forces, they also face the task of the building up of effective,
efficient accountable and democratically legitimized security
forces as quickly as possible. The contributors analyze six
pertinent cases: Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Haiti, Kosovo,
Sierra Leone and Timor Leste, focusing on issues such as priorities
for security and for security sector reform, sequencing of
reconstruction and reform, tensions between requirements of
security and security governance and the interaction of domestic
and external actors in security sector reform. This book was
previously published as a special issue of International
Peacekeeping.
Contains primary texts relating to the British slave trade in the
17th and 18th century. The first volume contains two 18th-century
texts covering the slave trade in Africa. Volume two focuses on the
work of the Royal African company, and volumes three and four focus
on the abolitionists' struggle.

Compact Heat Exchangers: Selection, Design, and Operation, Second
Edition, is fully revised to present the most recent and
fundamental ideas and industrial concepts in compact heat exchanger
technology. This complete reference compiles all aspects of theory,
design rules, operational issues, and the most recent developments
and technological advancements in compact heat exchangers. New to
this edition is the inclusion of micro, sintered, and porous
passage description and data, electronic cooling, and an
introduction to convective heat transfer fundamentals. New revised
content provides up-to-date coverage of industrially available
exchangers, recent fouling theories, and reactor types, with
summaries of off-design performance and system effects and
installations issues in, for example, automobiles and aircraft.
Hesselgreaves covers previously neglected approaches, such as the
Second Law (of Thermodynamics), pioneered by Bejan and co-workers.
The justification for this is that there is increasing interest in
life-cycle and sustainable approaches to industrial activity as a
whole, often involving exergy (Second Law) analysis. Heat
exchangers, being fundamental components of energy and process
systems, are both savers and spenders of energy, according to
interpretation.
