Blood Revenge in Irregular Warfare

Blood Revenge in Irregular Warfare

Roberto Colombo; Emil Souleimanov

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
This book offers an original assessment of the ways in which the sociocultural code of blood revenge and its modern remnants shape irregular warfare. Despite being a common driver of communal violence, blood revenge has received little attention from scholars. With many civil wars and insurgencies occurring in areas where the custom lingers, strengthening our understanding of blood revenge is essential for discerning how conflicts change and evolve. Drawing upon extensive multidisciplinary evidence, this book is the first in the literature on civil war and insurgency to analyse the impact of blood revenge and its modern remnants on irregular warfare. Even when blood revenge undergoes erosion, its unregulated version still shapes the social fabric of insurgency, although in different ways than its institutionalised counterpart. At times of political instability, the presence of a culture of retaliation weighs heavily on the dynamics of violent mobilisation, target selection, recruitment, and disengagement. This book brings in evidence from dozens of conflicts, providing unprecedented insights into how a better understanding of blood revenge can improve military blueprints for irregular warfare. This book will be of much interest to students of insurgency, terrorism, military and strategic studies, anthropology, and sociology, as well as to decision-makers and irregular warfare professionals.

Managing and Preventing Pandemics

Managing and Preventing Pandemics

Roberto De Vogli

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
Using an evidence-based, critical, population health approach, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the key errors and most effective interventions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. It also examines the root determinants of pandemic risk on a global scale and addresses the policy changes to be implemented to prevent future health crises.Part One of the book discusses the lethal errors in the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing particularly on those countries that failed to limit the death toll caused by the health crisis. These mistakes include lack of preparation, disinformation, medicalization, adoption of a “laissez-faire the virus” approach and inequity. Part Two analyzes the vital actions that enabled “virtuous” countries to effectively limit the most deadly effects of the pandemic: prevention, immunization and support.Part Three looks at what we should do to prevent the next pandemic. This part examines the proximal social and environmental causes of pandemic risk (e.g., deforestation, industrialized animal farming and climate change), as well as the “causes of the causes,” which include our model of global economic development and its philosophical and ideological underpinnings.

Respect and Power

Respect and Power

Roberto Mordacci

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
This book presents a historically informed, theoretically systematic, and critically articulated theory of respect that challenges many of the presuppositions of the current debate in ethics and politics. It develops a theory of respect as the rule of power relations, which draws connections between Kant’s critical philosophy and Critical Theory.The concept of respect is the foundation of normative theory. Any human practice is subject to a judgment in terms of respect, and a comprehensive theory is needed to critically assess our individual and social practices. This book elaborates an uncommon understanding of respect through a historical reconstruction of the practices of respect and a theoretical analysis of the limits of current theories of respect. Power is the fundamental force at work in social relations, and respect is the recognition of power with a critical stance that defines how power is to be used and regulated. A close confrontation with Hannah Arendt’s and Michel Foucault’s conceptions of power offers the opportunity to clarify in which sense respect is the rule of power relations. This also helps to overcome the anthropocentric bias inherent in many theories of respect. It is important to recognize that living beings and nature possess power, and that we must acknowledge this and understand the limitations of our power over them.Respect and Power will appeal to researchers and graduate students working in moral and political philosophy, political theory, critical theory, and the social sciences.

The Cybersecurity Game Master

Roberto Dillon

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
In today’s digital landscape, no company is immune to cyberattacks, making preparedness essential for any organization, regardless of size. Enter the world of Tabletop Exercises (TTXs), a cost-effective and results-driven approach to test cyber crises proactively. However, workplace dynamics can hinder effective participation as the fear of proposing wrong decisions and the apprehension of appearing less competent in front of colleagues can still stifle creativity, even during a simple exercise. This book addresses these concerns by injecting a fresh perspective, seamlessly integrating elements from Role-Playing Games (RPGs) into the design and execution of TTX scenarios to make them more engaging and fun. The Cybersecurity Game Master invites readers not only to master the TTX mindset but also to embrace it as a gamified experience, fostering a dynamic learning environment without the fear of judgment. By infusing fun into the serious business of cybersecurity, this book redefines TTX design, allowing teams to enjoy the process of understanding their company, procedures, and future challenges in a stress-free manner.

Diletante sin causa

Roberto Madrigal

Blurb

pokkari
Como no puede ser de otro modo si se trata de Roberto Madrigal, una parte del t tulo de este libro tiene su origen en el cine y, espec ficamente, en Rebel Without a Cause (1955) de Nicholas Ray. La otra se explica a partir de una intenci n modesta: no pretende que sus juicios sean tomados como los emitidos por un profesional sino m s bien por un aficionado, en el sentido de amateur, de los asuntos sobre los cuales escribi para su blog Diletante sin causa entre 2010 y 2019. En realidad, quien sabe de su experiencia como editor de la revista T rmino (1982-1984), de su novela Zona congelada (2005), o de sus cr ticas de cine semanales para Cubaencuentro, muchas reunidas en Cr ticas desde afuera (2016), comprobar sin esfuerzos que l es mucho m s que un diletante capaz de explicar y de defender sus juicios. Basta con leer las cr nicas para cerciorarnos de que, adem s de la excelente prosa y de la claridad expositiva, es un lector y espectador consumado, cuyo registro de curiosidad intelectual es tan vasto como los libros, las pel culas, la m sica, el deporte (sobre todo ajedrez y b isbol), las an cdotas, las vivencias personales y la pol tica narradas en estas p ginas.

Spatial Justice

Spatial Justice

Roberto Rocco

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Spatial Justice: The Basics offers a concise and accessible introduction to spatial justice as both a theoretical framework and a practical agenda for urban transformation. It examines how urban space is produced, contested, and governed, and how it is implicated in broader dynamics of inequality, recognition, and participation. Drawing on key thinkers such as Henri Lefebvre, Nancy Fraser, Iris Marion Young, Edward Soja, and Susan Fainstein, the book articulates spatial justice through its distributive, procedural, and recognitional dimensions, while also tracing its intellectual genealogy across critical theory, planning thought, and Southern urbanism. The book centres spatial planning as a normative, political, and ethical practice capable of fostering solidarity, democratising decision-making, and addressing structural injustices. Real-world examples from Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, the US, and more illustrate how spatial justice is negotiated in practice, while discussions of neoliberal governance, democratic backsliding, and epistemic justice ground the analysis in urgent global challenges. Designed for upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates, and early-career professionals in planning, geography, architecture, and related fields, the book includes a detailed glossary of key terms, visual diagrams, and analytical tables to support critical engagement and classroom use.

"As Flores de Walhalla" o livro de estreia do autor Roberto Prado, e que estreia Formado em Direito pela PUC Minas, o autor explora a alma humana de forma realmente sublime.A partir da experi ncia de Voltaire em seu "C ndido", constr i um romance hist rico denso, sensual, violento e fluido. Dividindo a narrativa em tr s partes, o autor usa a manh , tarde, e a noite para empregar ao texto um car ter mais sombrio como a noite, ou mais claro e feliz como a manh .Descri es de batalhas incrivelmente bem contadas e realistas fazem da experi ncia do leitor algo vivo e presente, como se o leitor pudesse sentir as agruras ou mesmo os cheiros explorados na narrativa.Longe de ser um livro revisionista, a hist ria busca observar a segunda guerra mundial, sob a tica dos alem es. N o , definitivamente, um livro para leitores iniciantes.A narrativa principia apresentando a personagem Gustavo, descendente da fam lia Stumpf, alem es emigrados para o Brasil na d cada de 1970, em sua vida cotidiana no centro de S o Paulo, seu desgastado casamento com C lia e a aproxima o, cada vez mais er tica, com a bela secret ria Cleide; Estabelece, em escrita coloidal, um panorama sobre a pol tica mundial e nacional. Na medida em que a est ria se aprofunda, a vida de seu av como soldado da SS-Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler - LAHSS - o batalh o pretoriano do F hrer, vai assumindo o protagonismo da narrativa. Ra a, orgulho, preconceitos, atrocidades, batalhas picas e dilemas morais permeiam por toda a est ria. A vida familiar de Gustavo, em especial seus filhos, fornece um necess rio al vio, dada a seriedade dos temas centrais: "Da mesma maneira que para entender uma guerra preciso retroceder no tempo, aos sutis meandros da pol tica, necess rio ter em mente que uma guerra n o raro produz ecos, distor es que se propagam muito al m de seu t rmino, e de cujas imagens nascem dem nios e brotam anjos tortos. Em ltima an lise, todos, s o v timas em uma guerra, sem exce es." (...) "Iam marchando e adquirindo fama como as melhores, e tamb m as mais brutais tropas nazistas, deixando atr s de si atos de bravura e resist ncia inigual veis, mas tamb m sem igual foram seus atos de crueldade e bestialidade."
