Описание: Terrorism, a widespread global phenomenon, manifests itself in the actions and the policies of individuals and groups, but also and primarily in the actions and policies of states. Delving into the seldom-discussed question of the motivation for most episodes of terrorism, this book studies terrorism’s effects based on the economic and geopolitical imbalances that frame today's global governance. The main goal of terrorism is to induce terror, and perhaps to influence public opinion for political change. Many states hide their terrorist activities under the “faces” they show the world, masks intended to hide real aims of acquiring or expanding power and wealth. These activities, presented as “self-defense,” “preventive action,” “counter-measures” or even as promoting "progress and development," are forms of state terrorism that are much more widespread, powerful, and destructive than the actions originating from groups labeled terrorist since 9/11. This book examines the numerous illegal measures states use, from unlawful imprisonment and curtailing of civil liberties to torture, in the name of responding to terrorism. At the same time, it considers how trade and industrial activities terrorize people by depriving them of the natural resources they need to survive and by exposing communities to life-threatening hazardous conditions. In closing, the book considers how existing laws might stem the tide of state terrorism. The conclusions are not optimistic: the UN's systems and legal regimes are clear in defense of human rights, but the structure and nature of state power do not permit these mandates to prevail.With a foreword by Tullio Scovazzi.

Описание: This book is intended to focus the attention of scholars and policymakers on the ongoing land grabs that occur in all continents, as corporations, conglomerates and powerful governments ally themselves with those who reap economic profits from the dispossession of those who inhabit the lands. Often the dispossession takes place as a legal transaction, even as an internationally sanctioned form of so-called "sustainable development", something that, in reality, is neither sustainable, nor leading to the development of the communities indigenous to the land, who usually attempt to the best of their ability, to resist, and deny what they view as a forceful hostile occupation, of the lands which constitute their only source of sustenance. This book raises a grave question, as it asks, whether these dispositions might represent grave violations of the rights of peoples to be free from racial discrimination, and to their rights to their own resources and self-determination. When climate change is exacerbated by deforestation, in order to use the land for more profitable cash crops, then it is even possible to view the environmental disasters that ensue as crimes against humanity.
