Somewhere in Russia is a man so powerful that no one even knows his name. Yet though he is all but invisible, he is pulling strings - and pulling them hard. For suddenly Russia is a far bigger threat than even the most devoted Cold War warriors ever thought possible. With her finger on the switch to the European economy and her sights on the American jugular, Russia gains a new leader. Not just a president, he has been appointed Tsar, a signal to the world that the old imperial power is back - and plans to have her day. At the same time, a mysterious killer brutally murders an innocent American family, literally blowing up the small midwestern town in which they lived. Just a taste, according to the new Tsar, of what will happen if America does not step aside in preventing Russia's plans to 'reintegrate' her rogue states. Onto this nightmarish stage steps special agent extraordinaire Alex Hawke, the only man - both the British and Americans agree - who can stop the madness.

"The Cold War was more of a global conflict than was either of this century's two major wars; far more than a confrontation between states or even empires, it was, as Martin Walker puts it, "a total war between economic and social systems, an industrial test to destruction."".

Zalor is a world filled with secrets Trapped in the high-tech world of broadcast journalism, news writer Jason McSwain dreams of the good old days when reporters worked on real newspapers. Then his dream comes true. Banentine Inc., the company that owns the twenty-second century broadcast station transfers Jason to the recently purchased Zalor Observer -- a news publication on the Earth colony of planet Zalor. Due to communication restrictions and a lack of support from Earth, Zalor has evolved into a ranching frontier culture. There, the colonists have learned to domesticate indigenous species as livestock, and to farm edible plants. They also have developed their own folklore; such as the four Strangers -- hooded figures who appear as specters and visit only a select few of the colonists. And then there is the Zalor secret, which the locals do not discuss. On Earth, a growing demand for Zalorian solar crystals has created an upswing in the off-world mining industry and a financial boom is expected to follow. But after Jason arrives and begins to adjust to a lifestyle much different than urban Los Angeles, he learns that one mining company is working to establish an illegal cartel. The colonists, divided over property rights issues and the promise of wealth, split into factions. Faced with the threat of civil war on Zalor, and military intervention from Earth, Jason launches an investigation that reveals dangers far more insidious than anything he could have imagined. He needs to get the information to Earth, but the mining interests have blocked his passage. As his fact finding mission continues, Jason discovers that Zalor is a world that hosts many secrets. But will this revelation stop a pending war? Time is running out for Jason McSwain and the colonists on planet Zalor.

This mediation how-to manual brings together the collective wisdom of two of the field's most renowned founders, John Michael Haynes and Larry Sun Fong. The book not only covers a range of mediation cases, but also uniquely provides feedback from the clients as they reflect on the sessions and report on what worked best for them. Beginning with a review of the theoretical underpinnings of the Haynes model of mediation, the book then presents six case studies with each demonstrating one or more of the organizing principles of mediation. The sessions examined reflect the different mediation areas currently being practiced—business, employment, neighborhood, adoption, education, and family. The book goes beyond simply reporting what mediators experience as it shares the insights and motivations of Fong and Haynes. This well-rounded approach includes the exploration of the clients' thoughts, helping readers to incorporate successful organizing principles into their own mediation practices.

This book provides an in-depth assessment of the modern geopolitics of hydrocarbon resources in the territorial waters of the Eastern Mediterranean, highlighting the current conflicts and disputes in the maritime territories of Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Turkey. Further, these geopolitical aspects are analyzed within the broader context of the tensions between and competing interests of big powers such as the USA, Russia, and the European Union. To what extent can major powers influence regional actors and guide them toward rational outcomes? To what extent can economic self-interest contain nationalistic impulses? What are the most practical and sustainable ways of promoting win-win scenarios? This book focuses on such questions and presents a number of clear policy guidelines to help the conflict-laden Eastern Mediterranean region gain a more peaceful and sustainable footing for the greater benefit of the peoples living there.

Democratization and state building are fundamental political processes, yet scholars cannot agree on which process should be prioritized in order to put countries on a positive path of institutional development. Where much of the existing literature on the state-democracy nexus focuses on quantitative cross-national data, this volume offers a theoretically grounded regional analysis built around in-depth qualitative case studies. The chapters examine cases of successful democratic consolidation (South Korea, Taiwan), defective democracy (Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor), and autocratic reversal (Cambodia, Thailand). The book's evidence challenges the dominant 'state first, democracy later' argument, demonstrating instead that stateness is neither a sufficient nor a necessary condition for democratic consolidation. The authors not only show that democratization can become trapped in path-dependent processes, but also that the system-level organization of informal networks plays a key role in shaping the outcome of democratic transitions.
