Announcing New Titles in Security Studies NEW RELEASES ONLINE CATALOGS READ AN EXCERPT The Political Impossibility of Modern Counterinsurgency Strategic Problems, Puzzles, and Paradoxes M. L. R. Smith and David Martin Jones The counterinsurgency (COIN) paradigm dominates military and political conduct in contemporary Western strategic thought. It assumes future wars will unfold as "low intensity" conflicts within rather than between states, requiring specialized military training and techniques. Through an extensive investigation into COIN's theories, methods, and outcomes, this book undermines enduring claims about COIN's success while revealing its hidden meanings and effects. Interrogating the relationship between counterinsurgency and war, the authors question the supposed uniqueness of COIN's attributes and try to resolve the puzzle of its intellectual identity. Read More - More titles in Security and Terrorism Studies - More titles in the Columbia Studies in Terrorism and Irregular Warfare Series $45.00 $31.50 / Hardcover / 272 pages / £30.95*   USE COUPON CODE "EMAIL" AND SAVE 30%   *Customers in UK, Europe, and Middle East please contact customer@wiley.com NEW RELEASES ONLINE CATALOGS READ AN EXCERPT Dangerous Trade Arms Exports, Human Rights, and International Reputation Jennifer L. Erickson Jennifer L. Erickson explores the reasons top arms-exporting democracies have put aside past sovereignty, security, and economic worries in favor of humanitarian arms transfer controls, and she follows the early effects of this about-face on export practice. She begins with a brief history of failed arms export control initiatives and then tracks arms transfer trends over time. Pinpointing the normative shifts in the 1990s that put humanitarian arms control on the table, she reveals that these states committed to these policies out of concern for their international reputations. She also highlights how arms trade scandals threaten domestic reputations and thus help improve compliance. Read More - More titles in International Relations $50.00 $35.00 / Hardcover / 288 pages / £34.50*   USE COUPON CODE "EMAIL" AND SAVE 30%   *Customers in UK, Europe, and Middle East please contact customer@wiley.com STAY CONNECTED
