Summary
"Discussions about the meaning of terrorism are enduring in everyday language, government policy, news reporting and international politics. Disagreements about both the definition and the class of violent events that constitute terrorism contribute to the difficulty of formulating effective responses aimed at the prevention and management of the threat of terrorism and the development of counterterrorism policies. This collection makes a major contribution to understanding terrorism through the inter-disciplinary perspectives through which the contributors confront the problem"--Provided by publisher.

Summary
Sylvia focuses on the impact of the "If You See Something, Say Something" advertising campaign in the New York City subway system. She demonstrates how ideas regarding security and terrorism are socially constructed; it shows how the narrative of the war on terrorism as a political project was linked to the narrative of a local urban security campaign. Her thesis suggests that this advertising campaign perpetuates the politics of fear connected to the greater war on terrorism and that this advertising campaign is a mechanism of social control. Sylvia's research draws upon and supports Michel F.

Summary
This report presents the findings of research into the involvement of organized crime and terrorist groups in counterfeiting products ranging from watches to automobile parts, from pharmaceuticals to computer software. It presents detailed case studies from around the globe in one area of counterfeiting, film piracy, to illustrate the broader problem of criminal -- and perhaps terrorist -- groups finding a new and not-much-discussed way of funding their activities. Piracy is high in payoff and low in risk, often taking place under the radar of law enforcement. The case studies provide compelling evidence of a broad, geographically dispersed, and continuing connection between film piracy and organized crime, as well as evidence that terrorist groups have used the proceeds of film piracy to finance their activities. Counterfeiting is a threat not only to the global information economy, but also to public safety and national security. Cooperation among law enforcement and governments around the world is needed in the battle against intellectual-property theft, and meaningful progress will require increased political will, strong legislation, consistent enforcement, deterrent sentencing, and innovative solutions. The report lays out an agenda of measures. Increased global intelligence-gathering and sharing is needed to further illuminate the scope and nature of the connections between piracy and organized crime, and policymakers and law enforcement worldwide should reexamine the common but erroneous assumption that counterfeiting is a victimless crime.

Summary
"In this remarkable portrait of what it means to be a mother in time of war, Susan Galleymore tells of her unusual step of traveling to Iraq to visit her son on a military base." "What she found there prompted her to continue that journey interviewing mothers in war zones including Iraq, Israel and the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Afghanistan and the United States. These powerful first-person accounts offer dramatic insight into the impact of war on families and communities in many countries." "Long Time Passing gets to the heart of extreme social experiences - war and warriors, mothers and children, communities and cultures - and explores the meaning of courage, fear, and leadership."--Jacket.
