Originally published in 2003. Justice and Violence brings together a fascinating and varied volume that focuses on the ethics of both political violence and pacifism. Incorporating historical, geopolitical and cultural case studies, it takes a unique look at comparative analyses of these two phenomena and contending world views. The volume is a 'must read' for political scientists, ethicists, historians, sociologists, anthropologists and policy analysts. As we move deeper into the twenty-first century, the contradictory and conflicting forces of globalization and cultural fragmentation make it increasingly crucial to give serious consideration to the issues raised here.

“This is a brilliant and hardheaded book. It will frighten those who prefer not to dwell on the unthinkable and infuriate those who have taken refuge in stereotypes and moral attitudinizing.”—Gordon A. Craig, New York Times Book Review Originally published more than fifty years ago, this landmark book explores the ways in which military capabilities—real or imagined—are used, skillfully or clumsily, as bargaining power. Anne-Marie Slaughter’s new introduction to the work shows how Schelling’s framework—conceived of in a time of superpowers and mutually assured destruction—still applies to our multipolar world, where wars are fought as much online as on the ground.

Czy NATO, istniejące już ponad 60 lat, pozostaje nadal fundamentalną strukturą polityczno-wojskową gwarantującą bezpieczeństwo i stabilizację w Europie - jak było to przez minione dziesięciolecia? W jakim stopniu Pakt powinien być elementem i czynnikiem bezpieczeństwa w skali globalnej - czego wymagają wyzwania współczesności? Czy w obecnych warunkach i wobec nowych zagrożeń NATO może jeszcze skutecznie działać, być wiarygodnym aliansem? Między innymi takie pytania należy postawić, zanim przystąpi się do opracowania nowej doktryny strategicznej Sojuszu. Ta z kolei musi rozstrzygnąć kilka zasadniczych kwestii, ważnych dla zdynamizowania NATO i wyprowadzenia go z krytycznego punktu.

Povratnici s ratišta u Siriji i Iraku - iskušani u borbama, vješti u rukovanju oružjem i eksplozivom, i ideološki motivirani - općenito se smatraju izravnom prijetnjom ne samo po sigurnost Bosne i Hercegovine nego i po regionalnu i međunarodnu sigurnost jer se vjeruje da bi se nakon povratka u matičnu zemlju mogli priključiti već postojećim mrežama ideološki radikaliziranih osoba i zajednica ili uspostaviti nove. Smatra se također da bi se takve osobe mogle angažirati u procesu radikalizacije i vrbovanja novih boraca za sukobe u Siriji i Iraku ili da bi njihova znanja i iskustvo mogli biti privlačni nekoj od organiziranih kriminalnih skupina.

The National Defence College is a unique discussion environment that is widely appreciated at the national and international level. Therefore, we have invited to these debates some notorious academic personalities who - we believe - have managed to transform the scientific communication session Romania Centenary into a milestone of the year 2018.This volume is structured into three chapters that reflect the objectives that had been established by the time we initiated this endeavour. The volume is opened by the chapter 1st of December 1918 - 100 Years Since Building the National State. The section has the ambition to revive the spirit of 1918 and to invigorate the speech related to the role that the civil society and the military had in forging the national unitarian state.

The author takes the reader on a swift and sweeping ride through different aspects of defence. What is the core of defence in general ? And what is defence today for the most prominent of all defensive alliances, for NATO, which is in the midst of a reflection process on what its role in the future should be ? The notoriously vague and shadowy term 'defence' is illuminated from different angles, culminating in the newly introduced model of 'strategical analysis'. The historical perspective comprises examples varying from China's Great Wall to the Israeli-Arab Six Days War and NATO's history with a specific focus on its understanding of defence from its foundation, through all three ages of its existence and into today's still and again changing world. More insights are drawn from the application of the prevalent judicial, political and military strategic approaches and terms. From this kaleidoscopic view, the author draws practical conclusions and formulates clear and pointed recommendations for the persistent and particularly in NATO very current discussion about how the understanding of defence should - or should not - evolve.
