ISBN : SUH The end of a war is generally expected to be followed by an end to collective violence, as the term postconflict that came into general usage in the 1990s signifies. In reality, however, various forms of deadly violence continue, and sometimes even increase after the big guns have been silenced and a peace agreement signed. ** Peace building; Conflict management 305 SOCIAL GROUPS 2 Corlett, J. Angelo Heirs of oppression / J. Angelo Corlett.-- Lanham: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, p. ISBN : COR Packing his case with moral argument and relevant facts, Angelo Corlett offers the most comprehensive defense to date in favor of reparations for African Americans and American Indians. As Corlett see it, the heirs of oppression are both the descendants of the oppressors and

2 the descendants of their victims. Corlett delves deeply into the philosophically related issues of collective responsibility, forgiveness and apology, and reparations as a human right in ways that no other book or article to date has done. He recommends specific policies and tests the basic arguments of this book with a lengthy chapter considering several objections to the line of reasoning grounding the project. ** African Americans - Reparations; Indians of North America - Reparations; United States - Reparations for historical injustices; United States - Race discrimination - History 306 CULTURE AND INSTITUTIONS 3 Amenga-Etego, Rose Mary Mending the broken pieces: indigenous religion and sustainable rural development in northern Ghana / Rose Mary Amenga-Etego.-- London: Africa World Press, p. ISBN : ETE Addressing the existing polarised debate on the subject, MENDING THE BROKEN PIECES debunks the popular notion that Africa's religio-cultural traditions are stalling development. Using the Nankani of Northern Ghana as an example, Rose Mary Amanga-Etego illustrates how the religio-cultural traditions of Africans constitute a frame of thought that can be very beneficial to sustainable development given the right context. ** Frafra (African people) Religion; Sustainable development - Religious aspects; Economics - Religious aspects; Religion --Economic aspects; Ghana - Religion 327 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS 4 Cyberspaces and global affairs / edited by Sean S.

Yang.-- New York: Palgrave Macmillan, p. ISBN : YAN While the rest of the world was mired in the Great Recession, the economies of Brazil, China and India stood out for their resilience. Yet these societies did not stand still. In this volume, leading China scholars from multiple disciplines dissect how China responded to the raging tides of global financial crisis at the macroeconomic level and in key sectors. They also analyze how the efforts to promote economic rebalancing and trade adjustment have affected state-society relations and governance in China. Taken as a whole, this important volume reveals much about the dynamics and dilemmas of China's political economy and governance. ** China - Economic condition; China - Economic policy; Global financial crisis 355 MILITARY ART & SCIENCE 7 Stewart-Ingersoll, Robert Regional powers and security orders: a theoretical framework / Robert Stewart-Ingersoll and Derrick Frazier. -- London: Routledge, p. ISBN : ING he regional level in this text is defined on the basis of regional sub-systems, more specifically Regional Security Complexes. Within this context, the authors utilize their framework to address how security orders are defined and how regional powers are identified. The focus then turns to an analysis of how the roles and foreign policy orientations of regional powers, conditioned by the presence of material capabilities, affect the development of regional security orders. The authors then present a comparative analysis of Russia, Brazil and India within their own security complexes to demonstrate an application of the framework. ** Security, International; Middle powers; Regionalism (International organization); International relations

4 MILITARY SITUATION AND POLICY 8 South Asian security: 21st century discourses / edited by Sagarika Dutt and Alok Bansal.-- London: Routledge, p. ISBN : BAN The book makes a distinction between traditional and nontraditional security. While state-centric approaches such as bilateral relations between India and Pakistan are considered to be traditional realist approaches to security, the promotion of economic, environmental and human security reflect global concerns, liberal theories and cosmopolitan values. The book goes beyond traditional security issues to reflect the changing security agenda in South Asia in the twenty-first century, and is a useful contribution to studies on South Asian Politics and Security Studies. ** South Asia - Security, International; South Asia - Foreign relations; South Asia - Politics and government 943 CENTRAL EUROPE GERMANY 9 Lynch, Michael Hitler / Michael Lynch.-- London: Routledge, p. ISBN : LYN Adolf Hitler is the most notorious political figure of the twentieth century. The story of his life, how he became a dictator, and how he managed to convince so many to follow his cause is a subject of perennial fascination. Balancing narrative and analysis, this biography employs a chronological approach to describe the main features of Hitler's career. ** Hitler, Adolf; Germany - Heads of state - Biography; Germany - Politics and government; National socialism PALESTINE ISRAEL - GENERAL HISTORY 10 Perry, Donna J. Israeli-Palestinian peace movement: combatants for peace / Donna J. Perry.-- New York: Palgrave Macmillan, p. ISBN : PER This book provides the results of research conducted with members of the Israeli-Palestinian peace movement Combatants for Peace. This organization was formed in 2005 through the unlikely partnering of Palestinians who had formerly participated in violent resistance and Israelis who had once served as soldiers in the IDF but now refuse to serve in the occupied territories. These individuals have committed themselves to work together through nonviolent action for a peaceful two-state solution. Their stories offer an inspiring message of peace and hope. The book provides recommendations for transformative peace building based on the research results. ** Combatants for Peace; Palestine - Peace movements; Palestine - Peace-building; Israel - Peace movements; Israel - Peace-building; Arab-Israeli conflict
