Syria as we knew it does not exist anymore. However, all conflicts change countries and their societies. Such an obvious statement needs to be unpacked in specific relation to Syria. What has happened, what does it mean, and what comes next? In order to consider the future of Syria, it is crucial to assess not only what has been destroyed, but also how it was destroyed. It is equally vital to address the structural and possibly enduring results of large-scale destruction and displacement. These dynamics are not only at play in Syrian society, but are tearing at the economic fabric and very territorial integrity of the country. If war is a powerful process of human and material destruction, it is equally a powerful process of spatial, social and economic reconfiguration. Nor does it stop at national borders—the unravelling of Syria, and of the idea of Syria, has affected and will continue to affect the entire Middle East. War-Torn explores these transformations and the processes that fuel them. It is an indispensable account throwing light on neglected aspects of the Syrian war, and a much-needed contribution to our understanding of conflicts in the twenty-first century.

Atlantska inicijativa od 2012. godine radi na razmatranju sudskih praksi u oblasti nasilja nad ženama, a posebno nasilja u porodici. Rezultat je niz publikacija i resursa koji se koriste prvenstveno u pravosuđu, ali i u drugim sektorima zaduženim za pružanje podrške žrtvama nasilja u Bosni i Hercegovini (BiH). Rad Atlantske inicijative temelji se na saradnji sa vladinim i nevladinim sektorom i zajedničkom razvijanju istraživanja, priručnika i preporuka s ciljem unapređenja prakse i znanja u oblasti nasilja nad ženama. Svima koji rade u oblasti nasilja nad ženama pandemija COVID-19 pokazala je koliko je nasilje kompleksan problem i postavila je nove izazove pred uspostavljen sistem zaštite. S tim u vezi u novembru i decembru 2020. godine Atlantska inicijativa je provela istraživanje koje je dalo uvid u situaciju vezanu za pandemiju COVID-19 i njen uticaj na odgovor institucija i sigurnih kuća na nasilje u porodici. Analiza je pokazala razmjere problema nasilja tokom pandemije; učestalost prijava nasilja; razlike u odnosu na prethodnu godinu; specifične teškoće i specifične slučajeve nasilja; ukazala je na problem brige za mentalno zdravlje pomagača; te su na osnovu analize definirane preporuke za predstavnike institucija i sigurnih kuća za unapređenje rada u oblasti nasilja ne samo tokom kriznih situacija nego i u normalnim okolnostima. Istraživanje je bilo početna osnova za rad grupe stručnjaka i stručnjakinja iz sektora: socijalna zaštita, policija, pravosuđe i gender institucionalni mehanizmi koja je tokom pet sastanaka razmatrala na koji način je pandemija uticala na odgovor svih ovih sektora i šta je potrebno uraditi da se izazovi prevaziđu. Ovaj dokument daje sažetak istraživanja s fokusom na ključne preporuke i prijedloge kako ih realizirati.

Whether physical or metaphorical, institutional or interpersonal, violence is everywhere. A seemingly immutable fact of life, it is nonetheless rarely engaged with at the conceptual level. What does violence actually mean? And is it an inevitable part of the human condition? Violence: An Anthology brings together many of the world's leading critical scholars, artists, writers and cultural producers to provide a kaleidoscopic exploration of the concept of violence. Through in-depth interviews with thirty figures including Marina Abramovic, Russell Brand and Simon Critchley, Brad Evans and Adrian Parr interrogate violence in all its manifestations, including its role in politics, art, gender discrimination and decolonization. Provocative, eye-opening and bracingly original, Violence: An Anthology sheds light on a defining philosophical concern of our age.

Les auteurs ont constitué une base inédite de 6 000 épisodes de violence politique survenus de 1986 à nos jours. Leur approche, quantitative et narrative, portant sur une trentaine d'années, fait tomber nombre de présupposés du débat politico-médiatique. Les actes violents commis au nom d'une cause ne sont pas quantifiés, contrairement à ceux de la délinquance dont les statistiques se voient diffusées régulièrement. Pourtant, les images des violences politiques s'invitent chaque jour dans nos salons : attentats, dégradations d'équipements publics, séquestrations, etc. Prenant froidement le parti des chiffres, les auteurs ont constitué une base inédite de quelque 6 000 épisodes de violence politique survenus de 1986 à nos jours, en les catégorisant selon la nature de la cause défendue : idéologique, indépendantiste, religieuse, professionnelle ou sociétale. Leur approche à la fois quantitative et narrative, portant sur une trentaine d'années, fait tomber nombre de présupposés du débat politico-médiatique. Sans masquer la tragédie des attaques terroristes ni les manifestations émeutières des années récentes, elle nuance l'idée d'un regain de violence politique en France, où le nombre d'atteintes aux personnes est aujourd'hui très inférieur à celui des atteintes aux biens. Elle confirme un net recul de la violence indépendantiste, mais révèle aussi toute la palette d'expressions d'une colère grandissante contre la démocratie représentative.

Family Violence in the United States takes an ecological approach to examining violence and abuse within the context of families. Easy-to-read chapters are organized by exploring the “Scope of the Problem”, definitions of key terminology, predictors, and consequences of different forms of maltreatment. Attention is paid to larger social systems that can contribute to abuse, as well as community, relationship, and individual predictors of both perpetration and victimization. Additionally, there is an emphasis on both prevention and intervention of family violence at various levels of the ecological model. Authors Denise A. Hines, Kathleen Malley-Morrison, and Leila B. Dutton help students explore what family violence is and the reasons why it happens. Their approach covers contemporary and controversial topics across the lifespan, including maltreatment of male partners by women, of parents, within sexual minority relationships, and on college campuses. This 3rd edition is filled with chapter-opening cases to prompt discussion within the classroom as well as considerations of context and application in the larger community. Rich in scholarly references and case materials, it is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals alike.
