These essays explore the increase in interest in non-lethal
weapons. Such devices have meant that many armed forces and law
enforcement agencies are able to act against undesirables without
being accused of acting in an inhumane way.
Topics for discussion in this volume include: an overview of the
future of non-lethal weapons; emerging non-lethal technologies;
military and police operational deployment of non-lethal weapons; a
scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of non-lethal weapons;
changes in international law needed to take into account non-lethal
technologies; developments in genomics leading to new chemical
incapacitants; implications for arms control and proliferation; the
role of non-lethal weapons in human rights abuses; conceptual,
theoretical and analytical perspectives on the nature of non-lethal
weapons development.
Exploring archaeology, community engagement and cultural heritage
protection in South Asia, this book considers heritage management
strategies through community engagement, bringing together the
results of research undertaken by archaeologists, heritage
practitioners and policy makers working towards the preservation
and conservation of both cultural and natural heritage. The book
highlights the challenges faced by communities, archaeologists and
heritage managers in post-conflict and post-disaster contexts in
their efforts to protect, preserve and present cultural heritage,
including issues of sustainability, linkages with existing
community programmes and institutions, and building administrative
and social networks. The case-studies illustrate larger-scale
projects to small micro-level engagement, across a range of
geographical, political, social and economic contexts, providing a
framework that links and synchronises programmes of archaeological
activities alongside active community engagement. The chapters
'Introduction', 'Community Engagement in the Greater Lumbini Area
of Nepal: the Micro-Heritage Case-Study of Dohani' and 'Conclusion'
