Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Originally published in 1995 Social Changes Crime and the Police studies the relationship of social change and crime the role of the police amidst changing social conditions and the reaction of society and the state to the criminal problem. It examines the essential differences and challenges which confronted countries in Western and Eastern Europe after the collapse of the socialist system. In recent years many areas of Europe had experienced a period of rapid technological development which had changed economic and cultural structures creating temporary instability. Within a relatively short period of time traditional values and beliefs had been undermined. National boundaries and geographical differences had gradually lost their significance and the opening of frontiers had created easier conditions for crime. The nature of crime itself had been transformed by the increasingly close relationships between countries. While many Eastern European countries sought to undo the authoritarian legacies of the socialist period Western Europe faced new challenges to its urban order. The editors and the contributors also examine the kinds of new policing concepts which may be formulated and the new practices which may develop during the next few decades. Governments must determine the role of the police and the law in accordance with public demands for powerful policing combined with consideration of the individual’s rights thus maintaining the vital balance between personal freedom and social peace. | Social Changes Crime and Police International Conference June 1– 4 1992 Budapest Hungary

Youth Technical Sessions Proceedings VI Youth Forum of the World Petroleum Council - Future Leaders Forum (WPF 2019) June 23-28 2019 Sain

Over a decade ago the World Petroleum Council launched an initiative to hold an international professional youth forum. The first forum took place in October 2004 in China and had as its motto: Young people and innovations are the future of the oil industry. It was the first major event in the history of the WPC in which young professionals and academics had the leading role and had the opportunity to exchange their ideas in insights on the oil and gas industry with industry leaders and main representatives of the oil and gas industry. Since then issues of professional development and the disclosure of the creative potential of young industry professionals have been on the agenda of the World Petroleum Council as one of the key areas for the development of international cooperation focused on a strategic perspective. The Future Leaders Forum of the World Petroleum Council VI is the largest international platform for professional communication of young specialists in the oil and gas industry. The contributions in this book are much of interest to professionals and scientists interested or involved in the oil and gas industry or related areas. | Youth Technical Sessions Proceedings VI Youth Forum of the World Petroleum Council - Future Leaders Forum (WPF 2019) June 23-28 2019 Sain

A Key to Soviet Politics The Crisis of the Anti-Party Group

A Key to Soviet Politics The Crisis of the Anti-Party Group

First Published in 1962 A Key to Soviet Politics is the first full scale attempt to analyse the internal struggle for power in Russia since 1957. The changes in the Soviet government after the ‘Crisis’ of June 1957 are probably better documented than perhaps any other political upheaval in Soviet history because Soviet press and party journals devoted an unusual amount of attention to the June Crisis and because information on the crisis was allowed to leak out slowly in the subsequent fall of Zhukov in 1957 and Bulganin in 1958 and the renewed attack on the ‘Anti-party’ group at the Party Congresses in 1959 and 1961. Roger Pethybridge argues that this crisis of the ‘Anti-party’ group in fact illuminated many other related topics in Soviet politics. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of Soviet history Soviet politics European history Russian history and comparative politics. | A Key to Soviet Politics The Crisis of the Anti-Party Group

The Arab–Israeli Conflict 1956–1975 From Violent Conflict to a Peace Process

The Arab–Israeli Conflict 1956–1975 From Violent Conflict to a Peace Process

The Arab–Israeli Conflict 1956–1975 contains a collection of articles that examine select issues between the end of the Suez Campaign in November 1956 and the Sinai II or Interim Agreement signed by Israel and Egypt in September 1975. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the struggle between the three superpowers – the UK the United States and the Soviet Union – and the effects this had on the region. It also explores the circumstances that led to the Six Day War in June 1967 such as the use of air power and the Israeli retaliatory raids. Two chapters look at the two leaders during the war: Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser leader of the Arab world – a charismatic and dominant persona – and Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol considered weak and inconspicuous. Three chapters focus on the period between the two wars – June 1967 and October 1973 – and one explores the aftermath. Emphasis is placed on Israeli policy between 1967 and 1973 which primarily focused on the use of military power and foreign policy inaction. It is argued that it was this policy that hindered all progress in the peace process and ultimately led among other factors to the Yom Kippur War. The final chapter is on Kissinger and the road to the Sinai II Agreement. It discusses the huge shift in American policy – from avoiding a significant role in the prevention of an imminent war during May and June of 1967 to deep involvement in every detail of the dispute during and following the Yom Kippur War. Providing an in-depth examination of this important period of the Arab–Israeli conflict this book will appeal to students and scholars of Middle Eastern History and Politics Conflict Studies and International Relations. | The Arab–Israeli Conflict 1956–1975 From Violent Conflict to a Peace Process

Power and Privilege at an African University

Power and Privilege at an African University

To the best of the author's knowledge this study conducted from July 1968 to June 1969 is the first comprehensive sociological survey of an African university. This study did not begin with a set of specific hypotheses to be tested nor does the research include everything of conceivable relevance to the University of Ilosho (U . I. ). Instead the focus is on the political structure of U. I. on social stratification and mobility and on problems of ethnicity. These closely interrelated problems are of great importance to the development of Nigeria where U . I. is located. | Power and Privilege at an African University

The Green Movement in Iran

The Green Movement in Iran

The Green Movement in Iran contains Hamid Dabashi's most important writings on the Iran's June 2009 election its tumultuous aftermath and the characteristics and aspirations of the emerging Green Movement. These analyses range from close analysis of the nature of the events to the Green Movement's historical background and future political consequences. The writings have been modified and updated for book publication. The volume presents Dabashi's account of the events since June 12 2009 the Election Day itself and his recap of highlights of the build-up period to the mass protests. He provides insightful background for events on the ground dealing with debates about the credibility of the election. He then discusses political continuity in Iran as well as the characteristics of the Green Movement. Dabashi argues that the reaction of the custodians of the Islamic Republic to the charge of the election being a fraud only affirms its lost legitimacy and casts the system as being neither Islamic nor a republic. Dabashi also comments on US politics and its relations to Iran and the Green Movement pointing out shortcomings in American media culture. The role of the Iranian opposition in the Green Movement and American political policies the political and economic consequence of the U. S. sanctions against Iran and the way these may be interpreted by Iranian society are all viewed from an enlightening perspective. Dabashi argues that the Iranian regime suffering deeply from legitimacy issues makes use of its bureaucratic economic and political leverage to stage a show of support and project division among the people.

The Golan Heights Political History Settlement and Geography since 1949

The Golan Heights Political History Settlement and Geography since 1949

Presenting the settlement landscape of the Golan before and after June 1967 The Golan Heights deals with the issue of the border between Israel and Syria and with the Israeli settlement process in the area following the Six Day War. The story of the Golan Heights and its position between Syria and Israel does not belong only to the past; it is still interwoven in the political present of the two countries. Public discourse in Israel on the political future of the Golan and the direct and indirect political discussions between Israel and Syria rest to a great extent on personal and collective memories and these by nature are based on the past. The perceptions of the Israeli public were constructed upon the image of a mountain that became a monster. This image reached its peak on the eve of the Six Day War in June 1967 but continued to be consolidated and preserved in the Israeli collective memory and so it has remained until the present. Addressing the question of the political future of the Golan a central issue for both Israel and the wider Middle East this book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars of Political History Settlement Geography and Geopolitics. Dr. Yigal Kipnis teaches International Relations at Haifa University. He received a BS in Civil Engineering from the Technion in Haifa and an MA and PhD in Land of Israel Studies from Haifa University. His first book The Mountain That Was as a Monster: The Golan Between Syria and Israel was published in 2009. His second book 1973: The Way to War published in 2012 immediately became a bestseller. It reveals the continuing political process which led to the Middle East war of October 1973. | The Golan Heights Political History Settlement and Geography since 1949
