A comprehensive, structured, and up-to-date introduction to the law governing the dissemination of information in a computer-mediated world in China, Internet Law in China stresses the practical applications of the law that are encountered by all individuals and organizations in Chinese cyberspace, but always in the light of theoretical underpinnings. Among the overarching topics treated in the Chinese context are the following: intellectual property protection in cyberspace; privacy of communication and data privacy; electronic contract forming and electronic signature; personal, domestic and international jurisdiction; and free expression in cyberspace. This book is particularly valuable to legal, business, and communication professionals, academics, and students concerned with the regulation of the Internet and related activities in China. It is the first book to focus solely on Chinese Internet law. |

Western approaches to Africa's visual culture have until recently separated 'traditional' from 'modern' as if the two categories had no common ground, and as if only the former was authentically African. Yet 'tradition' is also an active process of handing on, one subject to evolution, development and history. This book explores a burgeoning body of West African artistic production that draws upon photography, advertising, graphic design, European art history and Ghanaian history and culture. As such it constitutes an envisioning of a local modernity centred upon Kumasi, a vibrant trading city at the centre of local, national and international networks, whether historical, economic, political, educational, religious or aesthetic. The art described here, whatever its immediate purpose, reflects and interprets this intense and unique local context. Among the Ghanaian painters discussed are E.V. Asihene, Grace Kwami, E.K.J. Tetteh, Ablade Glover, Ato Delaquis, B. Offei Nyako, Atta Kwami, kari'kacha seid'ou, Bob Acheampong and many others whose practice was college based. Kwami also discusses the art and lives of Kumasi's leading sign painters - King Samino (King Samino Sign Art Services), Alex Amofa (Supreme Art Works), Kwame Akoto (Almighty God Art Works), Isaac Azey Otchere (Azey Alberto Art & Sign Service), and Isumaila Moro (Iss Hi-Tech Prints) - thereby exploring the interrelationship of two entwined traditions, two art worlds of modern painting centred at either the university and/or the signpainter's workshop. |

Based on years of research conducted mostly in Arabic sources, Meir Litvak and Ester Webman track the evolution of post-World War II perceptions of the Holocaust and their parallel emergence in the wake of the Arab-Israeli conflict of 1948. Following the establishment of the State of Israel, Arab attitudes toward the Holocaust became entangled with broader anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic sentiments. Litvak and Webman track this discourse through the work of leading intellectuals and turn to representations of the Holocaust in the media and culture of Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, and among the Palestinian people. Their chronological history, which spans sixty years, provides a remarkable perspective on the origins, development, and tenaciousness of anti-
Holocaust belief. |

This book, first published in 1973, was regarded on publication as the definitive study of the 'Young Turks', or Committee of Union and Progress, the name given to a group of Turkish army officers who sought to reform the Ottoman Empire and who in 1908 led a constitutional revolution against Sultan Ahmed Hamid II. The author also discusses the counter-revolution of 1909 and the emergence of the 'Group of Saviour officers' who formed a cabinet determined to destroy the Young Turks. With the rout of the Ottoman armies in the First Balkan War and the loss of Macedonia, the Unionists, led by the charismatic Enver Bey, carried out a coup on 23 January 1913 and regained power. Thereafter they pursued a more moderate and conciliatory policy abandoning the idea of 'union'. The book concludes by examining the impact of territorial losses and of six years of revolution and war on the Ottoman state and society. |

The spicy tang of kimchi, the richness of Korean barbecue, the hearty flavours of bibimbap: Korean cuisine is savoured the world over for its diversity of ingredients and flavours. Michael J. Pettid offers here an illustrated historical account of Korean food and its intricate relationship with the nation’s culture.
Over the last twelve centuries, Korean food dishes and their complex preparations have evolved along with the larger cultural and political upheaval experienced by the nation. Pettid charts this historical development of the cuisine, exploring the ways that regional distinctions and historical transformations played out in the Korean diet – including the effects of wartime food shortages and preparation techniques. Underlying all these dishes are complicated philosophical and aesthetic considerations, and Pettid delves into their impact on everything from the rituals associated with group meals or drinks with friends to the strict rules governing combinations of dishes and ingredients according to temperature, texture, spices, colour and consistency. |

Vietnamese State Industry and the Political Economy of Commercial Renaissance. |
| |
Fforde, Adam/ 9781843342205/ Price:£ 70.00
|
| |
|
| |
This book is based upon extensive and repeated fieldwork, close observation and familiarity with institutional detail. It traces Vietnam’s early attempts to create in State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) a basis for a military-industrial complex, and the ways in which these attempts failed, which explains the nature of state commercialism through the 1980s and into the present. Since the 1990 breakout to a market economy, Vietnam has shown outstanding development success, with rapid GDP growth, macroeconomic stability, swift poverty reduction, maintenance of social spending and extensive globalisation. Her SOEs have played a major role, not only in showing that performance gains in 1989-91 could compensate for loss of the large Soviet bloc aid program, but also as major players in the rapid economic change of the 1990s, during which the officially reported state share of GDP remained high. By the middle of the 2000s, however, a rising private sector was, in harness with a large presence of foreign companies, sharply increasing pressures upon SOEs. Against this background, the book concludes with an assessment of the extent to which Vietnam’s commercialised SOEs are now no longer seen as an effective compromise, but acting as a major hindrance to Vietnam’s development |

Burgess, John/ 9781843342175/ Price:£ 70.00

This book reviews employment conditions in Asian countries. This is the hub of the strongest growth area in the world economy and while attention has focussed on job growth and industrial transformation, there has been very little attention on employment characteristics and employment conditions. In particular, the book addresses the issue of whether globalisation, taken to mean the growing international integration of economies, is a factor that leads to a convergence of employment conditions, and more importantly, an improvement in employment conditions. The book brings together contributions on many Asian economies where these core questions are considered at both the macro level and for specified industries |

The effectiveness of these mechanisms and the appropriate resolution model for the future are both discussed |

Everlasting Flower: A History of Korea.(POD) |
| |
Pratt, Keith/ 9781861893352/ Price:£ 19.95
|
| |
|
| |
South Korea – a democratic high-tech Asian Tiger and flamboyant host of the 2002 World Cup; North Korea – a secretive dictatorship on Bush’s notorious ‘axis of evil’, with a controversial nuclear program and a poverty-stricken population. These two Koreas seem worlds apart, separated along the 38th parallel by the last active ‘cold war’ frontier. But North and South Korea share a common history and culture of which both are deeply proud; the poignant scenes of reunited families when the borders were opened in 2000 show that, even though frustrated, the links between the two populations remain strong.
Keith Pratt tells the story of this common heritage from the ancient states of Old Choson and Wiman Choson to the present relics of Cold War politics. He describes the physical and cultural landscape in which this history unfolds, dealing with religious identities and social aspects like food and drink, as well as more controversial issues such as punishment and torture, and the ‘comfort women’ of the Japanese occupation. In a series of short picture essays he introduces particular aspects of Korea’s past, including the world’s oldest observatory and the country’s famous turtle boats. Everlasting Flower: A History of Korea reveals a country which, although sandwiched between the more familiar worlds of China and Japan, has a distinct and rich cultural identity of its own. |

Karaoke: The Global Phenomenon. |
| |
Zhou, Xun/ 9781861893000/ Price:US$ 14.95
|
| |
|
| |
In Japanese the term Karaoke means, literally, ‘empty orchestra’. One definition disparagingly describes it as the ‘social sensation from Japan where sufficiently inebriated people embarrass themselves in public by singing along to a music track with the lyrics displayed on a TV screen’.
In recent years the world has been witnessing a massive worldwide karaoke explosion. In Karaoke, Zhou Xun and Francesca Tarocco address the complexity of this social craze, exploring its emergence in post-war Japan, its development and spread across the world to become a phenomenon that constantly evolved to keep pace with changes in technology and culture.
Drawing on extensive research and travels around the world, the authors chart the varied manifestations of karaoke, from karaoke taxis in Bangkok to nude karaoke in Toronto, to the role of karaoke in prostitution. Extensive personal anecdotes reveal the dramatic range of social experiences made possible by karaoke and how the obsession with performance and song has touched politics, history and pop culture throughout global society. |

McManus, John/ 9781843341581/ Price:£ 80.00
|
| |
|

In the last 30 years, the world’s software industry has been developing rapidly and the landscape has also been changing dramatically. It is no longer predominately controlled by the developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. This book examines the competitive and strategic issues faced by China and India through a political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal analysis. The book also examines their competitive strengths and weaknesses and the potential risks for organisations looking to expand or invest resources in these two countries. The book also looks at the market strategies of both countries in a global context and identifies the critical success factors that have enabled China and India to gain competitive advantage in their respective markets. Importantly, the book examines the threats that these two countries pose to other countries looking to expand their presence in the global software markets. This book helps practitioners and business managers who are responsible for a firm’s strategy or investment resources to grasp and understand the complexities and challenges faced by those organisations looking to expand their operations in these countries |

Sierra Leone; Destruction and Resurgence charts, in gripping detail based on first-band experience, the decade long civil war that brought Sierra Leone to its knees from 1991-2001. The group spearheading the violence, the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), claimed to be freeing the country from corruption and the brutalities of its political class and their foreign allies, but their insurgency killed more than 75,000 people, displaced half the population and destroyed one third of the country's already feeble infrastructure. The RUF also became notorious for appalling acts of brutality, including rape and the widespread use of mutilation: those deemed supporters of the government or any of its agencies had their limbs hacked off. The RUF is today a spent force, politically, although some claim it has retained its arms in the hope of one day relaunching a military campaign. But where did it spring from? Was it a movement driven by criminal acquisitiveness that adopted the rhetoric of politics? Was it another example of Sierra Leone's tradition of subaltern uprisings by disaffected youths, often manipulated by wily political operators? Or was the RUF an inchoate uprising of the people. |

The Illusion of Cultural Identity. |
| |
Bayart, Jean-Francois/ 9781850656555/ Price:£ 45.00
|
| |
|
| |
Does the West impose its own definition of human rights and democracy on the rest of the world? Does globalisation threaten British, French or other European identities? Was Confucianism really the motor of the Asian economic miracle? Is African culture compatible with multi-party politics? Is Islam an insurmountable obstacle to the integration of North Africans and Turks into Western Europe?
There are so many uncertainties - or false certainties - which we meet and which assume the permanence of culture. It is the very idea of culture that prevents us from grasping the cultural dimension of political action and economic development. For state formation brings into play aesthetic and moral concepts - just as it involves sexual practices, culinary traditions, clothes and hair-styles.
After an ironical, and sometimes comical, journey through the political 'imaginaires' and passions of the contemporary world, Bayart invites the reader to reinvent the democratic concept in its entirety in order to confront those engaged in contemporary identity conflicts or movements. |

Pettifer, James/ 9781850657491/ Price:£ 25.00

| |
|
| |
In this unique eyewitness record, James Pettifer gives a startling and evocative portrayal of the grim and fearful world of Kosova from the imposition of martial law in 1990 till March 1999. As a writer for The Times and Wall Street Journal Europe, he witnessed most key events, from the emergence of the Kosova Liberation Army in May 1996 to the massive refugee movements of 1998 and 1999, the ground war between the KLA and the Serbs and the NATO bombing campaign and subsequent liberation of Kosovo. Many of the drama's key personalities, such as the Serb war criminal Arkan (who at one time was a Kosova MP), American diplomats (including Richard Holbrooke) and key Albanian leaders (Ibrahim Rugova and Thacim Haci) feature in this account. Kosova Express also offers new insights into the efforts of the British government to manipulate press coverage of Kosova for its own ends, and the hitherto undisclosed links between several European governments and the Milosevic regime. The colour and humour of Kosova daily life, the region's bleakly harsh yet beautiful landscapes, and the subterranean, nightmare world of Prishtina are graphically described, as is the horrifying nature of the war around. |

The Lone Wolf and the Bear: Three Centuries of Chechen Defiance of Russian Rule. |
| |
Gammer, Moshe/ 9781850657439/ Price:£ 45.00
|
| |
|
| |
The two Russo-Chechen wars (1994-6 and 1999-onwards) have brought the country and its people to the centre of world attention, most recently when separatists stormed a Moscow theatre, taking hundreds of people hostage.
This book takes a different approach from most studies published on Chechnya, arguing that fully to grasp the significance and meaning of recent events one has to study them from a long historical perspective. Since Chechen nationalists regard the wars of the 1990s onwards as part of a 'three hundred year long war' between them and Russia, The Lone Wolf and the Bear takes the Russo-Chechen confrontation back to Moscow's first attempts to expand into the Caucasus in the sixteenth century. While concentrating on the Chechen struggle, its evolution and many causes, the book also tracks change within Chechen society following contact with Russia, the various and unexpected forms of modernisation, Russification and Sovietisation, the way these moulded Chechen self-perceptions and the nature of their struggle and its contribution to Chechen defiance of Russian power. |

Remaking Beijing traces China’s modern and contemporary experience, focusing on Tiananmen Square in Beijing, still the most exalted space in China today. Wu Hung describes the square’s transformation from a proscribed imperial space to a public arena of political expression, and from a monumental Communist complex to a holy relic of the Maoist era. For over half a century, since the square became the symbolic centre of the new socialist capital, it has determined the city’s development; in examining the square, the author examines the city as a whole. |

The subject is vitally important, not least because the two leading states, India and Pakistan, are both nuclear powers who have resorted to war with each other on a number of occasions since independence. In addition, the insurgencies of the last fifty years continue to destabilize the states of the region, and now the rest of the world. The global context of these campaigns are analyzed from the end of empire, through the Cold War, to the global effort against terrorism today. Highly topical, this book will be of interest not only to students and scholars, but to a wide general audience as well. |

This collection makes available key articles on the Japan-North American relationship from the Meiji era to the present. Volume one focuses on the necessity of Japanese modernization post-1868 and examines the build-up to the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbour. Volume two looks at the post-war period, in which US forces occupied Japan and were instrumental in its rebuilding as an economic superpower. In the years following this Japan and North America enjoyed a close yet occasionally fraught relationship, as competitors and allies. Volume two also examines the cultural ramifications of the influence of North America on Japan, and vice versa.

The themes of memory and memorisation have emerged in recent years as phenomena which need to be understood at the collective, cultural level, and not merely as traces of individual experience. Consensus about the importance of these issues extends widely across the social sciences and humanities. This enterprise has been of particular interest in recent years in relation to Eastern Europe, as the collapse of the former Soviet imperium has allowed and demanded a substantial re-evaluation of authorised accounts of the past, and a recasting of these in view of the need to re-assess the relationship of the countries of the region to powerful outsiders. These processes have spanned the spectrum from the formal writing of history to the informal memorisation of the past in popular culture. We are entering a 'new era' in that the tendency to portray identity-formation in the countries of these regions as taking place under the cultural hegemony of a powerful 'West' is now being partly replaced by a recognition that identities here are not only to be understood as constructions initiated by significant measure of responsibility for the creation and dissemination of identities. What is more, these indigenous creations are hardly less in need of demystification and deconstruction than those of outsiders. |

Peripheral People: The Excluded Minorities of Ethiopia. |
| |
Freeman, Dena/ 9781850656579/ Price:£ 50.00
|
| |
|
| |
In southern Ethiopia there are craftworkers and hunters who are vigorously excluded from mainstream society. As blacksmiths, potters, tanners, woodworkers, weavers and hunters of wild animals, they fulfill important roles in society, yet many of them are considered by local people to be not 'real people'. They are feared as purveyors of evil and supernatural powers, or despised as outcasts, and face discrimination across the whole social, political and economic spectrum. The marginalisation of these groups is not new or localised, and occurs in both the towns and the countryside, in Ethiopia and across Africa. This book provides the most detailed history and ethnography of these groups to date. It offers a radically new understanding of these groups and the marginalisation they face and it considers how the plight of marginalised groups might be alleviated, both by their own efforts and by the interventions of governments and NGOs. |

Islam, Sectarianism and Politics in the Sudan Since the Mahdiyya. |
| |
Warburg, Gabriel R./ 9781850655886/ Price:£ 45.00
|
| |
|
| |
Why another book on Islam and politics in Sudan? The unique history of Sudan's Islamic politics suggests the answer. The revolt in 1881 was led by a Mahdi who came to renew and purify Islam. It was in effect an uprising against a corrupt Islamic regime, the largely alien Turco-Egyptian ruling Elite. The Mahdiyya was therefore an anti-colonial movement, seeking to liberate Sudan from alien rule and to unify the Muslim Umma, and it later evolved into the first expression of Sudanese nationalism and statehood.
Post-Independence Islamic radicalism, in turn, can be viewed against the background of the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, (1899-1956). It also thrived as a result of the resurgence of Islam since the mid-1960s, when Nasserism and other popular ideologies were swept aside. Finally, Sudan has emerged as the centre of militancy in Sunni Islam since June 1989, when a group of radical Islamic officers, under the guidance of Dr Hassan al-Turabi and the NIF, assumed power.
In Warburg's view, the determination to enforce an Islamic state and an Islamic constitution on a multi-religious and multi-ethnic society has led to prolonged civil war, endless military coups and political, social and economic bankruptcy. |

Ho Chi Minh: The Missing Years, 1919-1941. |
| |
Quinn-Judge, Sophie/ 9781850656586/ Price:£ 25.00
|
| |
|
| |
This book explores Ho's pre-power political career, from his emergence at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 to his organisation of the Viet Minh united front at the start of the Second World War. Using prev-iously untapped sources from Comintern and French intelligence archives, Sophie Quinn-Judge examines Ho's life in the light of two interconnecting themes - the origins and institutional development of the Indochinese Communist Party (ICP), and the impact on early Vietnamese communism of political developments in China and the Soviet Union.
She makes the case that Ho's significance within the Comintern has been overstated by both leftist and anti-communist scholarship; she shows that there were other forces and personalities who played important roles in the formation of the ICP, especially when Ho's political fortunes were on the wane.
Of special interest is her treatment of the impact on Vietnamese communism of the Guomindang and the Nanyang Committee of the CCP. She also highlights the importance of Ho's family and regional ties in his efforts to maintain his influence within the ICP. From the growing body of evidence now available, she creates the foundation for a historical portrait of Ho. This marks a clear departure from the myths of left and right which have in the past been substitutes for biography. |

|

Anarchist thinking and influences emerge in many different aspects of contemporary culture and history, and the author looks at instances in areas of political thought, history of ideas, philosophy, theories of education and ecology, as well as film and literary criticism. Systems of thought such as Buddhism and Taoism, art movements such as Dada and Surrealism, literary treatments of anarchist ideas in the work of Blake, Wilde, Whitman, Kafka and Eugene O’Neill, anarchism in relation to sex and psychology in the work of Reich and Fromm, as well as aspects of Nietzsche’s philosophy as expressions of anarchist individualism – all these and other topics are also tackled.
This combination of history, anecdote and cultural analysis is an informative and lively study that is guaranteed to provoke debate. |

Indian Religions: A Historical Reader of Spiritual Experience and Expression. |
| |
Heehs, Peter/ 9781850654964/ Price:£ 16.50
|
| |
|
| |
This specially commissioned reader of the key written and oral texts by spiritual teachers from India, from the Rig Veda (3500 BC) to the present day, covers all the major traditions: Buddhism, Jainism, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and "new" Indian religions. The texts are presented in overlapping sections, each comprising a historically and thematically defined stage of a religion. This allows the development of the various traditions to be followed without their being isolated from one another. No single book could adequately select texts representing all aspects of Indian religion (ritual, institutions, ethics, myth, philosophy, experience), hence the focus of this reader is on individual religious experience. And since most Indian traditions preserve texts featuring experiential religion, and this selection covers a wide range of traditions, the book provides a comprehensive introduction to the history of religions of South Asia. The introduction discusses the phenomenon of spiritual experience and its relationship to organised religion and current controversies in the study of mysticism. The book should appeal to all readers interested in India and Eastern religions and to undergraduate students of religions and of South Asian culture. |

Greece has traditionally been one of the most ethnically and religiously homogeneous countries in the Balkans. In the last census (1951) to record religious affiliation and mother tongue, 97 per cent of the population gave their religion as Orthodox Christian and 95 per cent their mother tongue as Greek. Yet there are several small but significant religious, linguistic and ethnic minorities in Greece, and the 1990s witnessed a large influx into the country of foreigners, mostly from Eastern Europe, amounting to as much as 10 per cent of the native-born population. |

| |
Jordan, Tim/ 9781861891228/ Price:£ 12.95
|
| |
|
| |
Many schools of thought assert that Western culture has never been more politically apathetic. Tim Jordan's Activism! refutes this claim. In his powerful polemic, Jordan shows how acts of civil disobedience have come to dominate the political landscape. Because we inhabit such a quickly changing, high-tech and fragmented culture, the single-issue political movements and stable, conservative authorities of the past are continually being questioned. Traditional political battles have been replaced by the popular, collective practices of a new political activism. From Europe to the USA, from Australia to South America, from the Left to the Right, Jordan introduces us to the citizens who make up d-i-y culture: eco-activists, animal liberators, neo-fascists, ravers, anti-abortionists, squatters, hunt saboteurs and hacktivists. In his view, activism comprises a new ethics of living for the 21st century. |

Haggard, H Rider./ 9781850654681/ Price:£ 22.50
|
| |
|
| |
In 1914, for the first time since 1881, Sir Henry Rider Haggard returned to South Africa, the country that had fired his imagination,. He had left, in his mid-twenties, an unknown; he returned in late middle age a household name thanks to the enormous popularity of his novels such as King Solomon,s Mines and She. Touring the country as a member of the Dominions Royal Commission, Haggard found it hard to recognise the South Africa of his youth - the discovery of gold, the destruction of the Zulu kingdom, the Anglo-Boer War, had all left their mark; and, from a clutch of separate states, South Africa had become a single political entity under the banner of Union.
While the tour often rekindled Haggard,s romantic notions of Africa - notably during his visit to Southern Rhodesia and the Zimbabwe ruins and a trip through Zululand - he had changed too. He no longer regarded himself as a novelist but as a ,man of affairs,, a public servant. Neither was he the die-hard imperialist of his youth, as his views on South Africa,s future, his thoughts on the plight of the Zulu, and, perhaps most startlingly, his meeting with John Dube, the first president of the African National Congress, all reflect. Published for the first time, Diary of an African Journey: The Return of H. Rider Haggard presents a fresh picture of Haggard, often at variance with both popular and academic perceptions of his life and work. |

Tarling, Nicholas/ 9781850655848/ Price:£ 12.95
|
| |
|
| |
A Sudden Rampage describes the origins, the methods and the results of imperial Japan,s occupation of Southeast Asia during the Second World War. Japanese policy-makers had recognised that the region,s European colonial regimes would not last for ever, but they had not envisaged a military conquest, although the impact of the European war, and in particular the American reaction to it, encouraged them to think along those lines. While Japan launched stunningly successful military operations - such as the attacks on Pearl Harbor and Singapore - it found devising occupation policies that were suitable to the diverse regions under its sway after 1941 much harder. To a large extent Japan,s policies were improvised, often being based on models derived from the experiences of Manchuria or the homeland itself. For some Japanese the invasion was a work of liberation, and those who tried to extricate Japan from the war as defeat loomed emphasised this rationale. Eventually, however, the peoples of the region liberated, themselves, taking advantage of the interregnum between Japanse military defeat and the imposition of alternative Allied administrations. Any sense of obligation to the Japanese was reduced by the violence of their soldiery and the inadequacy of their administration. |

Kosovo is a frontier society where two Balkan nations, Albanian and Serb, as well as two religions, Islam and Christianity, clash. This rift is usually perceived as a hard and fast line of division, but the area also has a history of coexistence across these boundaries, through cultural contact, religious exchange and conversion. The tension between conflict and symbiosis is at the core of this book, which contains seven case studies of various ethnic and religious groups and examines how religion - Islam, Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodox - shapes their efforts to construct or reconstruct their identities. Although the focus is on Kosovo, the scope is much wider, covering developments in Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Macedonia and Serbia as well. Duijzings challenges the idea that Balkan conflicts are evolving around clear-cut and fixed ethno-religious groups. The ethnographic evidence shows that Balkan identities are full of ambiguities, caused by processes of conversion, dissimulation, and other forms of manipulation, which are seen as important survival strategies in conditions of endemic violence and insecurity. |

Europe's Last Red Terrorists: The Revolutionary Organisation November 17. |
| |
Kassimeris, George/ 9781850654674/ Price:£ 14.95
|
| |
|
| |
This book focuses on the ideology and operations of Europe,s last Marxist-Leninist terrorists - the Greek Revolutionary Organisation November 17, which since 1975 has waged a violent campaign against US and NATO personnel, Turkish diplomats and members of the Greeks military and business elite. The movement has been active for more than twenty-five years, and in May 2000 assassinated the British military attache in Athens, Brigadier Stephen Saunders. Yet no one suspected of belonging to the organisation, let alone of being involved in its terror campaign, has ever been arrested. While the literature on ultra-left terrorism in Western Europe is rich in its description and examination of the relationship between politics and violence, no book in any language comprehensively accounts for revolutionary terrorism in Greece. Tracing the history of November 17, Kassimeris demonstrates how it has perservered with an extremely one-dimensional view of a world peopled by heroes and villains, one that has precluded the emergence of a coherent ideology. |
