Operating in all weathers, invariably at night, often at low level and usually without fighter escort, Allied Special Duties (SD) squadrons and units played a vital role in the Second World War. By their very nature, these operations went unreported in wartime and for considerable time thereafter, but their importance in prosecuting the war of resistance in Occupied Europe was immense.Emerging from a time of rudimentary communications and transport, dedicated air units had been established by 1939 to fly agents into enemy territory, but their aircraft were hand-me-downs and the SD was considered a poor third to fighter and bomber operations. However, the tasks undertaken by these men and their aircraft were often more hazardous and demanding than any other type of wartime flying: for every SOS, SIS or OSS agent who lost their life in the field, at least one RAF or USAAF airman was killed while flying SD operations.Here, David Oliver examines the exploits of British, Commonwealth, American, Free European, Soviet, German, Italian and Japanese airmen and units, supported by first-hand accounts and archive photographs.

Esta publicación contiene la tesis doctoral de Alberto E. Dojas en la cual se reexamina la historia y las doctrinas del uso de la fuerza junto con el derecho internacional que lo ha regulado desde comienzos de la sociedad internacional.Por un lado explica que las categorias tradicionales utilizadas para analizar, justificar y establecer la legalidad del uso de la fuerza son insuficientes para comprender la complejidad de la interaccion material entre las amenazas y respuestas y sus respectivas justificaciones por parte de los Estados. Por otro lado, el libro analiza las diversas variantes existentes entre la legitima defensa y la agresion, y desarrolla los multiples aspectos de la doctrina de la intervencion preventiva.

El Sudeste Asiático y América Latina están separados por grandes distancias físicas, así como por culturas e idiomas muy diferentes. Desde un enfoque de "arriba hacia abajo", las relaciones comerciales entre ambas regiones se establecen por estrategias estatales y de organismos internacionales. Corrado G. M. Letta, respaldado por una rigurosa investigacion de campo, muestra en este libro que la conectividad entre America Latina y los paises del Sudeste Asiatico debe profundizarse, no a nivel institucional, sino a nivel personal para ser integral y sostenible. La clave del proceso es conocer y apreciar las culturas y mentalidades del "otro". En su obra Engineering East Asia-Latin America Economic Relations (2015), Letta se dedica a cubrir el deficit de informacion que tienen los empresarios del Sudeste Asiatico sobre los paises de America Latina. Este libro complementa el trabajo anterior presentando a los empresarios latinoamericanos los paises del Sudeste Asiatico: Brunei, Camboya, Indonesia, Laos, Malasia, Birmania, Filipinas, Singapur, Tailandia y Vietnam.Como enseña Lao-Tse, la prudencia aconseja proceder paso a paso, porque un viaje de mil millas comienza con un paso individual, ambicioso y humilde.

Financial Times - BEST BOOKS OF 2023 And Then What? is breathless and conversational and all the more readable for that. But while her tone is down-to-earth, the events that Ashton played a part in were dramatic and often historic. Gideon Rachman, Financial TimesA colourful insider account of European diplomacy Its clear our politics would have turned out better if we had had more Cathy Ashtons Luke Harding, The ObserverSo much of modern-day diplomacy still takes place behind closed doors, away from cameras and prying eyes. So what does this vital role really look like in todays world and what does it take to do it well?From 2009 to 2014, Cathy Ashton was the EUs first High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, effectively Europes foreign policy supremo responsible for coordinating the EUs response to international crises. Arriving in Brussels as a relative novice to international diplomacy, she faced the challenge of representing the views and values of 28 nations during one of the most turbulent times in living memory. Decades-old certainties were swept away in days. Hope rose and fell, often in a matter of hours. From the frozen conflict of Ukraine to the Serbia-Kosovo deal, there were challenges, failures and moments of success. She encountered dictators and war criminals, and witnessed the aftermath of natural disasters, military action, and political instability. Working with US politicians and counterparts including John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Burns, she negotiated historic settlements, such as the Iran nuclear deal. An honest broker, she navigated the needs of opposing politicians to chart a path towards collaboration and stability. Now Ashton takes us behind the scenes to show us what worked and what didnt, and how it felt to be in the room where it happened. From Serbia to Somalia, Libya to Haiti, she offers essential insight into how modern diplomacy works, examining the tools needed to find our way through the many challenges we face today.A riveting, absorbing account of modern diplomacy by one of the greatest international diplomats of recent timesGeneral David Petraeus (US Army, Ret.), former Director of the CIAIf generations of Earthlings-to-be do indeed engage in cosmic negotiations with other lifeforms, it will be because of the success of Cathy and her diplomatic compatriots in bringing us to realise we are Earth-life, together.Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 astronautA must for students of politics and a treat for lovers of general non-fiction.Misha Glenny, Rector of the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna, and author of McMafiariveting, deeply personal and wonderfully accessibleSir Kim Darroch, former British Ambassador to the USA, National Security Advisor, and UK Permanent Representative to the EUCatherine Ashtons gripping memoirs are not only a perfect combination of very precise facts and touching personal emotions, but for all foreign policy observers they convey important lessons of the past to serve for the crises of today.Pierre Vimont, former French ambassador to the EU and the USA

Bahman Nirumand has witnessed historical events from an eastern and a western perspective, and he is at home somewhere between the two. He is a refugee from the Middle East and an advocate of democracy and human rights, and he is now asking the West to be consistent. He believes that for the foreseeable future its insistence on realpolitik has deprived it of credibility, and that it is ironic that, in order to protect their interests, the proponents of human rights have for a long time been willing to support tyrants. This has incited a great deal of hatred in the Muslim world. And, more to the point, the Europeans and Americans are throwing away an opportunity to champion their values.That is why the West is unable to come to terms with the Arab Spring in general and the civil war in Syria in particular. How is it possible at one and the same time to insist on the importance of democracy, to impose punitive sanctions, and to continue to give staunch support to Saudi Arabias feudal masters?Nirumand calls on Europe and the United States to bring their Middle East policies into line with their own stated values. The region can be stabilized only if the West systematically supports groups which are in favour of democracy.

Fred Halliday writes: The Arab Middle East is probably the most misunderstood of all regions; the one with the longest history of contact with the west; yet it is probably the one least understood. Part of the misunderstanding is due to the romantic mythology that has long appeared to shroud the deserts of the peninsula. Where old myths have broken down, new ones have absorbed them or taken their place. Now the Sheikh of Arabia has stepped down from his camel. Instead, through the delusive lens of the energy crisis he is seen to be riding a Cadillac and squeezing the powerless Western consumer of oil. First published in the 1970s, Arabia Without Sultans retains its validity for the present as it analyses the Arabian peninsula and Iran within the global context of western post-colonial strategy and the political economy of oil. Halliday offers a thorough study of the history, the politi and the economi of this region in an ambitious, encompassing and entertaining manner. This classic work remains indispensable for students, academi, and all those who wish to have a greater understanding of the Arabian peninsula. A well-documented work, written by an author who knows the language of the area. Maxime Rodinson Halliday provides an unusual view-point and a well-documented description of the history of these states.

El joven Arno acaba de ser ordenado sacerdote. Convertido ya en el Padre Arno, viaja a Roma para incorporarse a su nuevo puesto como agente de los servicios secretos vaticanos, los más antiguos y desconocidos del mundo. En las oficinas de la Agencia, entre los aposentos privados de Su Santidad y la Capilla Sixtina, Arno recibe de manos de su jefe, el cinico e inteligentisimo cardenal Ruspoli, el encargo de su primera mision: debera viajar a la India, y hacerse con un manuscrito recien descubierto y atribuido al apostol Tomas.Al llegar a su exotico destino se encontrara con un mundo magico en vias de extincion, a punto de lograr su independencia del imperio britanico y al borde de una terrible guerra civil, que marcara el comienzo de una nueva era en la que el equilibrio entre Oriente y Occidente cambiara por completo. Sus pesquisas le llevaran a enfrentarse con un misterio para el que nadie le habia prevenido, una espiral de asesinatos, secretos ancestrales y juegos de alta politica. ¿Puede alguien matar por unos simples manuscritos o en realidad todo se reduce a una espiral de violencia, dinero y sexo? Arno debera utilizar todo su talento para salir bien parado de esta mision, salvar su fe... y su propia vida.

Arno, agente de los servicios secretos vaticanos, es enviado a Egipto para resolver un misterioso asunto. En una pequeña aldea del desierto se están produciendo una serie de fenómenos extraños que llevan a los perros de la localidad a suicidarse y a sus habitantes a bailar compulsivamente una musica que solo ellos escuchan en sus cabezas. Los fanaticos creen que se trata de una posesion diabolica y amenazan con quemar las iglesias y matar a la comunidad cristiana. A su llegada al pais, Arno se encontrara un territorio en plena efervescencia politica, con el derrocamiento del rey Farouk, ultimo faraon de Egipto, y el subsiguiente golpe de Estado del coronel Nasser. Intereses politicos y economicos, con el control del canal de Suez como trasfondo, se van perfilando como elementos fundamentales de una realidad mas compleja de lo que el Vaticano creia. La intervencion de otros servicios secretos internacionales, la presencia de dos mujeres que perturbaran la calma del joven y atractivo sacerdote, y la intervencion del hampa local complicaran la labor del agente secreto.En esta nueva entrega de la aclamada saga de aventuras, asistiremos al nacimiento del integrismo islamico, al desmoronamiento del Imperio Britanico, y a la lucha despiadada entre el bien y el mal, en la que el amor, la pasion y el deseo juegan un papel fundamental. Y todo ello narrado con una calidad literaria que ha sido unanimemente alabada por la critica internacional.

The "Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi" is a seminal document that delineates the framework for peace and stability in a nation scarred by conflict. This multi-authored treaty, negotiated in 2000, reflects a blend of diplomatic prose and legalistic precision, embodying the collective aspirations of Burundians for unity and reconciliation.

This book is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in conflict resolution and peacebuilding. It not only provides a roadmap for Burundis sociopolitical landscape but also serves as a poignant reminder of the power of dialogue and collaboration in addressing deeply rooted divisions. Your understanding of post-conflict reconciliation will be enriched by engaging with this transformative document.
