Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

In the 1960s only 10% of peace agreements included some element of political-military accommodation – namely military integration. From Burundi to Bosnia to Zimbabwe that number had increased to over 50% by the 2000s. However relatively little is understood about this dimension of power-sharing often utilized during war-to-peace transitions. Through an examination of the case of South Sudan between 2006 and 2013 this book explores why countries undergoing transitions from war to peace decide to integrate armed groups into a statutory security framework. This book details how integration contributed to short-term stability in South Sudan allowing the government to overcome wartime factionalism and consolidate political-military power prior to the referendum on self-determination in 2011. It also examines how the integration process in South Sudan was flawed by its open-ended nature and lack of coordination with efforts to right-size the military and transform the broader defense sector and how this led the military to fragment during periods of heightened political competition. Furthermore the book explains why integration ultimately failed in South Sudan and identifies the wider lessons that could be applied to current or future war-to-peace transitions. This book will be of great interest to students of war and conflict studies peacebuilding post-conflict reconstruction African security issues and International Relations in general as well as to practitioners. | Military Integration during War-to-Peace Transitions South Sudan’s Attempt to Manage Armed Groups 2006-13

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering

An Introduction to Sonar Systems Engineering Second Edition Important topics that are fundamental to the understanding of modern-day sonar systems engineering are featured. Linear planar and volume array theory including near-field and far-field beam patterns beam steering and array focusing are covered. Real-world arrays such as the twin-line planar array and a linear array of triplets which are solutions to the port/starboard (left/right) ambiguity problem associated with linear towed arrays are examined in detail. Detailed explanations of the fundamentals of side-looking (side-scan) and synthetic-aperture sonars are presented. Bistatic scattering with moving platforms is explored with derivations of exact solutions for the time delay time-compression/time-expansion factor and Doppler shift at a receiver for both the scattered and direct acoustic paths. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions and the design of CW LFM and Doppler-invariant HFM pulses are explained. Target detection in the presence of reverberation and noise is examined. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions of MFSK MQAM and OFDM underwater acoustic communication signals are also discussed. Although the book is mathematically rigorous it is written in a tutorial style. Many useful practical design and analysis equations for both passive and active sonar systems are derived from first principles. No major steps in the derivation of important results are skipped – all assumptions and approximations are clearly stated. Particular attention is paid to the correct units for functions and parameters. Many figures tables examples and practical homework problems at the end of each chapter are included to aid in the understanding of the material covered. New to the Second Edition Chapter 15 Synthetic-Aperture Sonar Chapter 13 Section 13. 3 The Rectangular-Envelope HFM Pulse Chapter 10 Section 10. 7 Moving Platforms was rewritten which allowed for the elimination of Appendix 10C from the first edition New explanations/discussions were added to Subsections 1. 2. 1 and 1. 3. 1 in Chapter 1 Appendix 1A was rewritten and the new Table 1A-1 was added to Chapter 1 A solutions manual is available for adopting professors

Migratory Men Place Transnationalism and Masculinities

Migratory Men Place Transnationalism and Masculinities

Foregrounding the ways in which men experience transnational migration Migratory Men: Place Transnationalism and Masculinities considers how we conceptualise and theorise mobile men in a global context. Bringing together studies from around the world (e. g. Australia Pakistan Tunisia Zimbabwe and Italy) this collection foregrounds how the transnational migratory experience profoundly reshapes men’s complex identity practices. Specifically the collection highlights how transnational migratory aspirations and experiences often lead men to reimagine local patterns of masculinity and/or reaffirm prescriptive gender roles as they encounter new spaces/places. In presenting interdisciplinary research the international scholars consider the powerful roles of economics politics and social class in shaping masculinities. Furthermore the contributors emphasise how men affectively and agentically experience migration and how interaction with new spaces/places can often lead to negotiations between disempowerment and empowerment. As such this collection will appeal to both non-academic readers who share transnational migratory aspirations and experiences and academic readers across the social sciences with interests in gender and sexuality migration and diaspora transnationalism and contemporary masculinities.

Multilingual Digital Humanities

Multilingual Digital Humanities

Multilingual Digital Humanities explores the impact of monolingualism—especially Anglocentrism—on digital practices in the humanities and social sciences. The volume explores a wide range of applied contexts such as digital linguistic injustice critical digital literacy digital learning digital publishing low-resourced minoritised or endangered languages in a digital space and multilingual historical intertextuality. These discussions are situated within wider work on language technologies language documentation and international (in particular European) language-based infrastructure creation. Drawing on both primary and secondary research this four-part book features 13 diverse case studies of infrastructural projects pedagogical resources computational models interface building and publishing initiatives in a range of languages including Arabic French Russian Portuguese Italian German Spanish Bengali Hindi Malayalam and Tamil. All the debates are contextualised within a wider cultural frame thus bridging the gap between the linguistic focus of the multilingual initiatives and wider discussion of cultural criticism in DH. Multilingual Digital Humanities recognizes the digital as a culturally situated and organic multilingual entity embedding past present and future worlds which reacts to and impacts on institutional and methodological frameworks for knowledge creation. It is essential reading for students scholars and practitioners working in digital humanities and digital studies.

Introduction to Environmental Management for the NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management

This endorsed handbook is directly aligned to the NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management with each element of the syllabus explained in detail. Includes sample NEBOSH questions and case studies to aid learning Up to date and aligned with the revised 2012 specification Over 100 images tables and diagrams all in full colour Written by an expert in this field of study. Environmental pressures have been increasing on businesses over many years. New legislation has forced companies to look at their impact on the environment through such issues as use of resources emissions energy use transport and waste management. Accidents such as the recent pollution incident by BP in the Gulf of Mexico grab the attention of the media and bring it into the public domain. In addition to its focus on the NEBOSH course this book covers all of the essential elements managers will need to understand correct environmental health and safety management including the broad legal framework risk assessment and pointers to relevant standards. Brian Waters has 15 years experience in the water supply industry and 13 years of experience in senior management roles with the National Rivers Authority and the Environment Agency. He has subsequently worked in training and consultancy giving him a wealth of experience in this area. | Introduction to Environmental Management for the NEBOSH Certificate in Environmental Management

Marketplaces Movements Representations and Practices

Marketplaces Movements Representations and Practices

This edited volume portrays marketplaces from a mobility perspective as dynamic and open entities consisting of flows of people goods and ideas. There is a renewed interest in research and policy arenas in marketplaces as the core of cities’ spatial and economic development and sociocultural life as incubators of urban renewal and platforms of alternative consumption models and as source of livelihood for many people worldwide. Contributions of this book draw on notions of movements representations and practices to illustrate that markets have physical reality but are also culturally and socially encoded and experienced through practice. It brings together empirically evidenced scholarly and practice-based works from the United Kingdom the Netherlands Switzerland Spain Bulgaria Turkey Lebanon Peru Brazil Vietnam South Africa and India. This book is primarily intended for scholars and graduate students of urban geography urban design and planning sociology anthropology who are interested in the relation between place and mobility in general and markets as ‘knots’ in the city in particular. It also informs policy-makers how urban planning policies and design interventions for marketplaces may foster more socially inclusive and environmentally just cities.
