Nuclear Arms Control - Tom Sauer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Nuclear Arms Control - Tom Sauer - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The proliferation of nuclear weapons has been defined as the gravest potential threat to international peace and security. The concept of nuclear deterrence has to be revisited in this regard. The longer the Nuclear Weapon States hold on to their nuclear weapons, the bigger the chance that nuclear weapons will be spread and will be used (once again) by accident, in an authorized or unauthorized way, or that nuclear terrorism becomes reality. The marginalizing of nuclear weapons resulting in a Nuclear Weapon Free World should be considered as a viable alternative.

Constructing Regional Security - W. Durch - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Constructing Regional Security - W. Durch - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In this book William Durch examines conventional weapons proliferation since World War II, the role of arms transfers in fueling regional conflict, and prospects for curbing the global arms trade. Noting that supply side arms control efforts, which seek to constrain the companies and countries that produce and distribute major conventional weapons, have a poor international track record, Durch argues for a broader approach that tries to get at the demand side of the equation. Addressing the political and regional dynamics that impel arms acquisitions, he looks at how arms control might be combined with confidence and security-building measures to contain demand, and how value-based arms trade control measures like ''codes of conduct'' could be implemented in stepwise fashion consistent with US national interests in regional stability.

Soviet Science under Control - Jeffrey L. Roberg - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Soviet Science under Control - Jeffrey L. Roberg - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Roberg examines the relationship between the political leadership of the Soviet Union and Soviet science. Previously, this relationship was typically characterized as one of Communist Party dominance over the sciences. He argues that the relationship between scientists and the leadership is better viewed as bi-directional. The author concludes that scientists had an influence on policy-makers in the areas of nuclear policy and human rights although not to the same degree as the Party had on science and scientists.

Gender, Work and Social Control - Jackie Gulland - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Gender, Work and Social Control - Jackie Gulland - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book uses previously unknown archive materials to explore the meaning of the term ''incapable of work'' over a hundred years (1911-present). Nowadays, people claiming disability benefits must undergo medical tests to assess whether or not they are capable of work. Media reports and high profile campaigns highlight the problems with this system and question whether the process is fair. These debates are not new and, in this book, Jackie Gulland looks at similar questions about how to assess people''s capacity for work from the beginning of the welfare state in the early 20th century. Amongst many subject areas, she explores women''s roles in the domestic sphere and how these were used to consider their capacity for work in the labour market. The book concludes that incapacity benefit decision making is really about work: what work is, what it is not, who should do it, who should be compensated when work does not provide a sufficient income and who should be exempted from any requirement to look for it.

John Maurice Clark - L. Shute - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

John Maurice Clark - L. Shute - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The first comprehensive study of the life and works of John Maurice Clark (1884-1963), who continued the work of his father, John Bates Clark (1847-1938) by developing a new dynamic economic theory, often referred to as ''Social Economics''. Although J.M. Clark''s contributions anticipated much of Keynes'', he went much further: exploring ethics, overhead costs, business cycles, methodology, and social control. Clark argued that costs were not precise terms and new forms of social control were needed in addition to the market.

International Immigration Policy - Eytan Meyers - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

International Immigration Policy - Eytan Meyers - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Immigration control policy is a burning issue in the domestic sphere and on the international scene. This book offers a theory of international immigration policy, based on an analysis of immigration policies in the United States, Britain, Germany and the Netherlands. It explains how governments decide on the number of immigrants they will accept, whether to differentiate between various ethnic groups, whether to accept refugees and on what basis, and whether to favor permanent immigration over migrant workers. The book demonstrates how the interaction between socioeconomic trends, foreign policy considerations and the type of immigration shapes immigration control policies, and it evaluates the relative importance of each of these factors.

Globalization and Borders - L. Weber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Globalization and Borders - L. Weber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Winner of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Criminology Christine M Alder Book Prize 2013Controlling border crossing has become an urgent concern under conditions of globalization, leading Western governments to introduce increasingly coercive control measures. Far from eradicating spontaneous border crossing, this defensive geography has fuelled illicit people-smuggling markets, and forced asylum seekers and illegalized travellers into increasingly hazardous journeys. Drawing on data from official sources, media reports and lists of deaths collated by non-governmental organizations in Europe, Australia and North America, this book draws direct parallels between the border control policies adopted across the Global North, and a mounting death toll of illegalized border crossers. It analyses the political and material conditions driving contemporary border control policies and discusses the processes that mediate popular and official understandings of border-related fatalities. In seeking to account for, rather than merely count, border-related deaths the book is intended to shift the debate about contemporary border controls towards the acceptance of a more mobility-tolerant future.
