Patterns of American Terrorism

Patterns of American Terrorism

Brent L. Smith; Kelly R. Damphousse; Jeff Gruenewald

Routledge
2023
nidottu
Patterns of American Terrorism provides a detailed empirical examination of the patterns of behavior exhibited by persons indicted in federal criminal courts for "terrorism-related activities" in the United States over the past 35 years. Not intended to be a theoretical treatise on the etiology of terrorism, nor to be an indictment of federal counterterrorism efforts, this book seeks to provide a definitive guide to what we know about the behavior of terrorists who have targeted the United States and the country’s efforts to prosecute and punish them. Utilizing data from the American Terrorism Study, this volume provides an in-depth analysis of the temporal and spatial patterns that shaped the manner in which terrorists in the United States planned and carried out their attacks; how terrorists are investigated, prosecuted, and punished in federal courts; and how counterterrorism efforts have affected the behavior of individual terrorists and groups. Smith, Damphousse, and Gruenewald delve into the demographic characteristics and geospatial and temporal patterns of terrorist behavior as an outgrowth of research they conducted over many years in the American Terrorism Study. Building on this foundation, the authors compare "lone actor" or "lone wolf" terrorists with the patterns of behavior exhibited by groups or cells and examine more recent behaviors of ISIS conspiracies in the United States with those of terrorists from other types of groups. Providing a comprehensive overview of the nature and evolution of modern international and domestic terrorism, this book offers a wealth of findings that will be useful in setting policy and developing guidelines for counterterrorism efforts as well as in formulating hypotheses to test theoretical models. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of terrorism and political violence, criminology, sociology, international security, and political science.

Navigating Global Environmental Sustainability

Navigating Global Environmental Sustainability

Bret L. Billet

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2023
sidottu
The Great Recession provided an opportunity to reconsider how to simultaneously enhance the well-being of individuals, corporations, countries, and the global environment. A half-century of vital environmental data demands examining several questions pertaining to the impact of a recession on sustainable environmental consumption. Does a recession provide an occasion for productive dialogue that might reconcile the ostensible incompatibility of economic and ecological rationales? Does it constitute an artificial “turning point” whereby appropriate incentives may induce productive change? Are post-recession environmental consumption patterns indicative of government encouragement, and corporate willingness, to pursue transformative environmental technologies? Alternatively, are the patterns illustrative of countries transferring their environmental consumption to other countries via international trade?Bret L. Billet argues that the simultaneous investigation of both the Ecological Modernization theory and the Ecological Unequal Exchange theory strengthens the present quantitative analysis, enhancing understanding of the recession, well-being, sustainable environment nexus. Each ecological theory is rooted in the politicized evolution of traditional theories of economic development. The introduction of an Aristotelean conception of development as well-being, an exceptionally large number of cases, and the analysis of multiple country subsets, results in a more robust inquiry as to the impact of the Great Recession on the global sustainable environment.

Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbors?

Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbors?

Brent L. Sterling

Georgetown University Press
2009
sidottu
A number of nations, conspicuously Israel and the United States, have been increasingly attracted to the use of strategic barriers to promote national defense. In "Do Good Fences Make Good Neighbours?", defense analyst Brent Sterling examines the historical use of strategic defences such as walls or fortifications to evaluate their effectiveness and consider their implications for modern security. Sterling studies six famous defences spanning 2,500 years, representing both democratic and authoritarian regimes: the Long Walls of Athens, Hadrian's Wall in Roman Britain, the Ming Great Wall of China, Louis XIV's Pre Carre, France's Maginot Line, and Israel's Bar Lev Line. Although many of these barriers were effective in the short term, they also affected the states that created them in terms of cost, strategic outlook, military readiness, and relations with neighbours. Sterling assesses how modern barriers against ground and air threats could influence threat perceptions, alter the military balance, and influence the builder's subsequent policy choices. Advocates and critics of strategic defences often bolster their arguments by selectively distorting history. Sterling emphasizes the need for an impartial examination of what past experience can teach us. His study yields nuanced lessons about strategic barriers and international security and yields findings that are relevant for security scholars and compelling to general readers.

Other People's Wars

Other People's Wars

Brent L. Sterling

Georgetown University Press
2021
sidottu
Case studies explore how to improve military adaptation and preparedness in peacetime by investigating foreign wars Preparing for the next war at an unknown date against an undetermined opponent is a difficult undertaking with extremely high stakes. Even the most detailed exercises and wargames do not truly simulate combat and the fog of war. Thus, outside of their own combat, militaries have studied foreign wars as a valuable source of battlefield information. The effectiveness of this learning process, however, has rarely been evaluated across different periods and contexts. Through a series of in-depth case studies of the US Army, Navy, and Air Force, Brent L. Sterling creates a better understanding of the dynamics of learning from “other people’s wars,” determining what types of knowledge can be gained from foreign wars, identifying common pitfalls, and proposing solutions to maximize the benefits for doctrine, organization, training, and equipment. Other People’s Wars explores major US efforts involving direct observation missions and post-conflict investigations at key junctures for the US armed forces: the Crimean War (1854–56), Russo-Japanese War (1904–5), Spanish Civil War (1936–39), and Yom Kippur War (1973), which preceded the US Civil War, First and Second World Wars, and major army and air force reforms of the 1970s, respectively. The case studies identify learning pitfalls but also show that initiatives to learn from other nations’ wars can yield significant benefits if the right conditions are met. Sterling puts forth a process that emphasizes comprehensive qualitative learning to foster better military preparedness and adaptability.

nidottu
In the 1950s, North Dakota experienced its first oil boom in the Williston Basin, on the western side of the state. The region experienced unprecedented social and economic changes, which were carefully documented in a 1958 report by four researchers at the University of North Dakota. Since then, western North Dakota has undergone two more booms, the most recent from 2008 to 2014. Sixty Years of Boom and Bust republishes the 1958 report and updates its analysis by describing the impact of the latest boom on the region's physical geography, politics, economics, and social structure.Sixty Years of Boom and Bust addresses topics as relevant today as they were in 1958: the natural and built environment, politics and policy, crime, intergroup relations, and access to housing and medical services. In addition to making hard-to-find material readily available, it examines an area shaped by resource booms and busts over the course of six decades. As a result, it provides unprecedented insight into the patterns of development and the roots of the challenges the region has faced.

Biochemical Adaptation

Biochemical Adaptation

George N. Somero; Brent L. Lockwood; Lars Tomanek

Oxford University Press Inc
2017
sidottu
Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press. The abiotic characteristics of the environment--including temperature, oxygen availability, salinity, and hydrostatic pressure--present challenges to all biochemical structures and processes. This volume first examines the nature of these perturbations to biochemical systems and then elucidates the major adaptive strategies that enable organisms from all Domains of Life--Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya--to conserve common types of biochemical structures and processes across a wide range of environments. In addition to these conservative adaptations that foster a biochemical unity among diverse species, other adaptations can be viewed as innovative changes that enable organisms to exploit new features of the environment that may themselves be the result of biological activities. The opening chapter outlines the basic principles of biochemical adaptations and raises the questions that serve as the focal points for the detailed analysis found in the next three chapters, which are devoted to the study of relationships involving oxygen, temperature, and water-solute effects. In these three chapters, the effects of the variable in question on fundamental biochemical processes and structures are examined. This analysis forms a basis for the subsequent analysis of how adaptive changes modify biochemical systems to establish environmental optima and tolerance limits. This analysis includes examples from all Domains of Life to emphasize the commonality of the fundamental strategies of biochemical adaptation. The final chapter examines the challenges organisms face from the rapid environmental changes that are occurring in the Anthropocene. The effects of co-occurring changes in multiple stressors are examined to provide a realistic and integrative analysis of effects of global change. The underlying genetic capacities of different types of organisms to adapt to rapid environmental change are discussed to provide a basis for predicting the relative success different species--including our own--face in a rapidly changing world.
