This book examines how different techniques for organizing support were applied in Singapore and Malaya over the period 1945-1963. It focuses on the point of contact between the revolutionaries and the public and follows the fortunes of the countries following the defeat of revolutions.

First published in 1990, Richard Clutterbuck's fascinating analysis of European security confronts the problems of internal European community frontiers and technological aids in combating terrorism and international crime. He looks at what the EC countries have done in the past, describes the technology now becoming available, and makes radical proposals for airport security, fighting drugs, and overcoming the intimidation of witnesses and juries. Above all, he foresees he exciting prospect of the USSR, the USA, and a united Europe co-operating for the first time to overcome the common enemies of terrorism and international crime.

First published in 1990, this book will be of great interest to anyone concerned about conflict and stability in the 1990s, especially governments, police, and buisnesses involved in anti-terrorist technology. It will also be of value to students of politics who want to understand terrorism, and to people who want to take account of future technology in handling poltical and social problems.

Is there a risk that Malaysia's racial mixture and its weighted political and economic structures could again explode into the kind of violence which, in 1969, was only just prevented from setting the whole country on fire? And has Singapore's success been bought at a price in civil liberties too high for its health in the future? Four years of th

Political changes since 1989 have led to a far more unstable and dangerous world. The ways in which the international community deals with international crime and particularly terrorism and drug trafficking need rethinking. Richard Clutterbuck assesses the technological developments in modern weapons as well as advances in detecting explosives and spotting and convicting terrorists, criminals and drug traffickers. He looks at trials of some identification techniques which could revolutionize the safety and convenience of air travel, and asks whether this new technology could lead to a "big brother" invasion of civil liberties. Finally, he looks at peacekeeping and peacemaking and examines the possibilities for international organizations, such as the UN and NATO, to take a more proactive role in international law enforcement. The author has also published "Terrorism, Drugs and Crime in Europe After 1992" (Routledge 1990).

In 49 out of 50 crimes in Britain the criminals go free. Many are young and become persistent criminals. Where do the answers lie? Home environment? Education? Criminal intelligence? Technology? The law and judicial procedures? Prison or its alternatives? How can we protect civil liberties - for suspects, accused and victims?

In an attempt to expose the links between crime, drugs, corruption, and terrorism throughout the world, expert Richard Clutterbuck here provides a profile of drug use world-wide. Drawing on the dramatic examples of Peru and Colombia as case-studies, the book describes in detail the manufacture and distribution of cocaine, crack, heroin, cannabis, "speed", "ice", and LSD. An entire chapter is devoted to chronicling how the $500 billion a year that is paid for these drugs - more than the GDP of all but the world's seven richest nations - is efficiently laundered. Solutions lie, Clutterbuck argues, not in Latin America or Asia, but on the streets of the West. At a time when policies of suppression and prohibition are faltering and when the War on Drugs is widely seen as having failed, Clutterbuck weighs the pros and cons of the alternatives: What would need to be done to make prohibition work? Should some drugs be decriminalized? How effective has the Dutch experiment been? Is the licensing of drugs to cure addictions an effective remedy? Should certain drugs be licensed like alcohol and tobacco? An international security and political risk consultant, Richard Clutterbuck is the author of numerous books, including Terrorism in an Unstable World and Terrorism and Guerrilla Warfare. In 1994, he spent ten days in Peru, advising the armed forces and visiting the main coca-growing area in the Huallaga Valley.
