Violence and Politics points out a paradox of contemporary political violence: it appears to be growing in scope and complexity even in this era of unprecedented democratic and economic growth. These essays cover a number of timely issues including pro-life terrorism, hate crimes, Islam's connection (or stereotyped connection) to violence, rape as a war crime, ethnic conflicts, and violence against those protesting for civil rights for women, gays and lesbians and blacks. Contributors cross disciplines and subdisciplines to examine the counter-intuitive persistence of violence in advanced democracies and in steadily improving developing countries.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of travel. They are relevant but also visionary.This incisive book examines cutting edge issues in environmental compliance and enforcement law. It highlights critical research needs in the field, and explains how their realisation would enhance the efforts of governments, citizens and regulated entities in ensuring compliance and enforcement.Taking a comprehensive view of the field, expert authors address research questions beginning with detection of environmental harms and continuing through to judicial resolution. Chapters focus on key areas of research, including the structure of environmental enforcement programs, the role of behaviour in compliance, measuring outcomes, inspections and auditing, monitoring, emerging regulatory technologies, citizen law suits, as well as judicial remedies and sanctions. The book also analyzes the challenges of environmental enforcement in countries with limited enforcement resources through case studies involving Columbia and Peru, and the growing role of the private sector in environmental compliance.With a spotlight on enhancing ecofriendly outcomes, this book is a valuable resource for scholars and students in environmental law, as well as criminal law and justice. It is also beneficial to environmental agency staff interested in identifying ways to improve their practices, and those involved in environmental research projects.

This book is the most updated and comprehensive look at efforts to protect the Amazon, home to half of the world’s remaining tropical forests. In the past five years, the Basin’s countries have become the cutting edge of environmental enforcement through formation of constitutional protections, military operations, stringent laws, police forces, judicial procedures and societal efforts that together break through barriers that have long restrained decisive action. Even such advances, though, struggle to curb devastation by oil extraction, mining, logging, dams, pollution, and other forms of ecocide. In every country, environmental protection is crippled by politics, bureaucracy, unclear laws, untrained officials, small budgets, regional rivalries, inter-ministerial competition, collusion with criminals, and the global demand for oils and minerals. Countries are better at creating environmental agencies, that is, than making sure that they work. This book explains why, with country studies written by those on the front lines—from national enforcement directors to biologists and activists.

Latin America's crime rates are astonishing by any standard-the region's homicide rate is the world's highest. This crisis continually traps governments between the need for comprehensive reform and the public demand for immediate action, usually meaning iron-fisted police tactics harking back to the repressive pre-1980s dictatorships. In Policing Democracy, Mark Ungar situates Latin America at a crossroads between its longstanding form of reactive policing and a problem-oriented approach based on prevention and citizen participation. Drawing on extensive case studies from Argentina, Bolivia, and Honduras, he reviews the full spectrum of areas needing reform: criminal law, policing, investigation, trial practices, and incarceration. Finally, Policing Democracy probes democratic politics, power relations, and regional disparities of security and reform to establish a framework for understanding the crisis and moving beyond it.

These essays take a much-needed look at the course of human rights strategies rooted in the last century's struggles against brutally repressive dictators. Those struggles continue today across Latin America. Augmented by the pursuit of broader political, cultural, labor, and environmental rights, they hold accountable a much wider cast of national governments, local governments, international agencies, and multinational corporations. In "Sustaining Human Rights in the Twenty-first Century", some of the Western Hemisphere's leading human rights experts shape and bolster new approaches, from the concepts of rights to transnational efforts, by placing the struggle for rights in historical and comparative perspective. The contributors provide an historical framework, describe formal and legal institutions, and discuss the citizens' movements and conceptions of citizenship that produce distinct kinds of political identities and struggles.
