More precisely, why do some countries that show every sign of having successfully emerged from civil war fall once again into armed conflict? What explains why peace \"sticks\" after some wars but not others? In this illuminating study, Charles T. Call examines the factors behind fifteen cases of civil war recurrence in Africa, Asia, the Caucasus, and Latin America. He argues that widely touted explanations of civil war - such as poverty, conflict over natural resources, and weak states - are far less important than political exclusion. Call's study shows that inclusion of former opponents in postwar governance plays a decisive role in sustained peace. \"Why Peace Fails\" ultimately suggests that the international community should resist the temptation to prematurely withdraw resources and peacekeepers after a transition from war. Instead, international actors must remain fully engaged with postwar elected governments, ensuring that they make room for former enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45989987385396,"sku":"9781589018945","price":71.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781589018945.jpg?v=1774739946"},{"product_id":"9781589019423","title":"Persuasion and Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow more than ever, in the arenas of national security, diplomacy, and military operations, effective communication strategy is of paramount importance. A 24\/7 television, radio, and Internet news cycle paired with an explosion in social media demands it. According to James P. Farwell, an expert in communication strategy and cyber war who has advised the U.S. Special Operations Command and the Department of Defense, and worked nationally and internationally as a media and political consultant, this book examines how colorful figures in history from Julius Caesar to Winston Churchill, Napoleon to Hugo Chavez, Martin Luther to Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan, have forged communication strategies to influence audiences. Mark Twain said that history doesn't repeat itself, but rhymes. In showing how major leaders have moved audiences, Farwell bears out Twain's thesis. Obama and Luther each wanted to reach a mass audience. Obama used social media and the Internet. Luther used the printing press. But the strategic mindset was similar. Hugo Chavez identifies with Simon Bolivar, but his attitude towards the media more closely echoes Napoleon. Caesar used coins to build his image in ways that echo the modern use of campaign buttons. His \"triumphs,\" enormous parades to celebrate military victories, celebrated his achievements and aimed to impress the populace with his power and greatness. Adolph Hitler employed a similar tactic with his torchlight parades. The book shows how the US government's approach to strategic communication has been misguided. It offers a colorful, incisive critical evaluation of the concepts, doctrines, and activities that the US Department of Defense and Department of State employ for psychological operations, military information support operations, propaganda, and public diplomacy. Persuasion and Power is a book about the art of communication strategy, how it is used, where, and why. Farwell's adroit use of vivid examples produce a well-researched, entertaining story that illustrates how its principles have made a critical difference throughout history in the outcomes of crises, conflicts, politics, and diplomacy across different cultures and societies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45989988696116,"sku":"9781589019423","price":63.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781589019423.jpg?v=1774739954"},{"product_id":"9781589794559","title":"Moon Loon","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the dark, soft night, the haunting call of a single loon echoes over a moonlit lake.

In 1901, it played host to the prestigious Pan American Exhibition, which attracted millions of visitors to the city; its thriving downtown area was graced by buildings and mansions designed by some of the country's best architects; the city was the third largest producer of steel and, with the largest inland port, was a hub of commerce at the end of the Erie Canal. Today, due to financial distress and decades of mismanagement, the city has been put under the supervision of a financial control board. Population drain and an inability to attract new business have brought the city to the brink of financial collapse. The question on everyone's lips is, 'What went wrong?' Community development expert and Buffalo native Diana Dillaway analyses the history of planning and decision making in Buffalo that led to the current malaise.  A member of the Wendt family, whose great grandfather founded one of Buffalo's oldest manufacturing businesses, Dillaway has used her access to the city's most powerful political, economic, and community leaders to reconstruct the factors that created the city as it exists today. She examines the most divisive debates of the past, including strategies for downtown and neighbourhood development, planning for a rapid transit system, and battles over the location of a proposed university campus and a professional football stadium. A consistent theme is the protection of the status quo and turf battles among the WASP business and financial elite, ethnic Catholic communities centred on neighbourhood parish life, and the Democratic machine with its entrenched patronage system. She finds that the only people interested in change were African Americans, whose efforts were consistently thwarted by a multi-term mayor who diverted community development funds for his own pet projects. At a time when Buffalo is trying to build a brighter future, Dillaway's insights, revelations, and prescriptions for change comprise urgent reading for community leaders and citizens alike.  \"Power Failure\" speaks to issues of leadership and power facing every city and local government today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLOBE PEQUOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990001639476,"sku":"9781591024002","price":52.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781591024002.jpg?v=1774740023"},{"product_id":"9781591024842","title":"Defending the West","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first systematic critique of Edward Saids influential work, \"Orientalism\", a book that for almost three decades has received wide acclaim, voluminous commentary, and translation into more than fifteen languages. Saids main thesis was that the Western image of the East was heavily biased by colonialist attitudes, racism, and more than two centuries of political exploitation. Although Saids critique was controversial, the impact of his ideas has been a pervasive rethinking of Western perceptions of Eastern cultures, plus a tendency to view all scholarship in Oriental Studies as tainted by considerations of power and prejudice. In this thorough reconsideration of Saids famous work, Ibn Warraq argues that Saids case against the West is seriously flawed. Warraq accuses Said of not only wilfully misinterpreting the work of many scholars, but also of systematically misrepresenting Western civilization as a whole. With example after example, he shows that ever since the Greeks Western civilization has always had a strand in its very makeup that has accepted non-Westerners with open arms and has ever been open to foreign ideas. The author also criticizes Said for inadequate methodology, incoherent arguments, and a faulty historical understanding. He points out, not only Saids tendentious interpretations, but historical howlers that would make a sophomore blush. Warraq further looks at the destructive influence of Saids study on the history of Western painting, especially of the 19th century, and shows how, once again, the epigones of Said have succeeded in relegating thousands of first-class paintings to the lofts and storage rooms of major museums. An extended appendix reconsiders the value of 18th- and 19th-century Orientalist scholars and artists, whose work fell into disrepute as a result of Saids work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GLOBE PEQUOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990006751284,"sku":"9781591024842","price":60.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781591024842.jpg?v=1774740022"},{"product_id":"9781591027775","title":"Freedom of Assembly and Petition","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe First Amendment of the US Constitution's Bill of Rights provides expressive freedoms through a number of 'clauses'. Among these, the least explored clauses are the Assembly and Petition Clauses, which provide that 'Congress shall make no law...abridging...the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances'. Most scholarly literature about the First Amendment omits consideration of these core concepts, which date back at least as far as the Magna Carta. This omission exists despite the fact that the US Supreme Court has termed these rights 'among the most precious of liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights' (United Mine Workers v. Illinois Bar Association [1967]). This is the first anthology of scholarship about the Assembly and Petition Clauses, and as such it is a valuable addition to First Amendment literature. Editor Margaret M Russell has assembled articles that shed light on the origins, history, scope, and contemporary relevance of the rights of petition and assembly.

Did you know that the caterpillar tread, common on bulldozers and tanks, originated from the design of Lombard's steam log hauler; or that the dry plate photographic process was created by the Stanley brothers, who also invented a speed-record setting steam powered car and whose sister, Chansonetta, was a well-known photographer in her own right? Maxim's machine gun forever changed the practice of warfare. The humble peavey is a simple tool well-known to any forester or lumberjack. The ubiquitous lobster boat, the microwave oven, earmuffs, and Monopoly-all came from the minds of Mainers. This book is a celebration of Maine's creative ingenuity-from the very large, such as Portland Head Light and the Penobscot Narrows Bridge to the very small, such as the toothpick and the Bean boot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GLOBE PEQUOT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45990071009332,"sku":"9781608936311","price":63.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781608936311.jpg?v=1774740274"},{"product_id":"9781608936496","title":"Maine: Life in a Day","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat better way to celebrate 50 years of book publishing than to celebrate everyday life in Maine.

By the end of that week Susan sent a tiny story back that talked to the photograph. Stop Here, This Is The Place tells the story of a year in which children's arms and legs get longer, and traces of babyhood fade--a year that feels interminable to a ten-year-old looking forward and fleeting to that ten-year-old's mother, who can always stop here, go back and remember. This delightfully evocative gift book is a reminder to stop and enjoy the precious time we have with our kids while we have them.

When she was not found, the family, the wardens, and the Navy personnel who searched for her were devastated. The Maine Warden Service continued to follow leads for more than a year. They never completely gave up the search. Two years after her disappearance, her bones and scattered possessions were found by chance by two surveyors. She was on the U.S. Navy's SERE (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape) School land, about 2,100 feet from the Appalachian Trail. This book tells the story of events preceding Geraldine Largay's vanishing in July 2013, while hiking the Appalachian Trail in Maine, what caused her to go astray, and the massive search and rescue operation that followed. Her disappearance sparked the largest lost-person search in Maine history, which culminated in her being presumed dead. She was never again seen alive. The author was one of the hundreds of volunteers who searched for her. Gerry's story is one of heartbreak, most assuredly, but is also one of perseverance, determination, and faith. For her family and the searchers, especially the Maine Warden Service, it is also a story of grave sorrow. Marrying the joys and hardship of life in the outdoors, as well as exploring the search \u0026amp; rescue community, When You Find My Body examines dying with grace and dignity.
