Water is one of the most essential elements for sustaining life. National, regional, and local authorities throughout the world are responsible to maintain necessary infrastructure and safeguard resources for an orderly uninterrupted supply of good quality, healthy, and safe, water for everyday needs of all the population. These needs, which are growing fast with economic growth, development, and rising prosperity include water for drinking as well as for sanitation, laundry, gardening, recreation, and other domestic uses. An adequate supply of water resources should be safeguarded also for all sectors of the economy and society including agriculture, industry, energy, tourism, ecosystem protection, and more. Drinking water is again becoming a global issue from many perspectives. There are still parts of the globe which lack the necessary water resources for their basic needs, whether in terms of quantity or quality, or both. Demographic growth in several world regions is likely to increase pressures for the development of water resources and further exploitation of existing ones. Changes in production and consumption patterns are expected to aggravate further the pressures on the quantity and quality of water resources across the world. Rising standards of living, intensive agriculture, and new industrial processes lead not only to increasing com- tition for water use and rising costs of water provision, but also to mounting risks. - Häftad, Engelska, 2007

This book assesses potential developments of terrorism and ways to prevent it—the growing threats as new technologies become available — and how the same new technologies may help trap those with potential mal-intent. The drumbeat of terror resonates from everywhere; how can we stop it? What are the tripping points along the road and how can we avoid them? Increasingly more people have access to increasingly more information and increasingly more destructive technologies. In the meantime, increasingly advanced technologies help us create an increasingly safer and more harmonious world. Advantages and disadvantages are accelerating each other. While hybrid threats are intensifying, so are the opportunities to address them. But what are the compromises and how can we mitigate them? This book also looks at the unexpected and often random success and failure of policies to counter the evolving terror threat. The various aspects ofthe terrorism phenomena are presented in a unique way using scenario vignettes, which give the reader a realistic perception of the threat. The combination of positive and negative implications of emerging technologies is describing what might well be one of the most important dimensions of our common future. - E-bokEngelska, 2021

This edited compilation was written in the latter part of the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020, a watershed event in world history that illustrated wide-ranging systems and structural vulnerabilities worldwide. The book provides a framework for thinking about the environmental context of unconventional political conflict and intrinsic issues of continuity and change; it highlights significant potential terror threats, trajectories, and potential inflection points for consideration by policymakers, security experts, and counterterrorism practitioners.The book focuses on unfolding threats that will affect our security worldwide, including the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuously evolving condition of environmental degradation and global warming, the probability of increased “enhanced terrorism” use, future technologies like gene editing and “Crisper,” and more. The book frames empirical links between the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, terrorism, and other international system factors within the context of our contemporary globalized world, to scope out basic uncertainties, and the subtleties and nuances of complexity that pose challenges and opportunities for policymakers. It discusses looming challenges to decisionmakers who must attempt to counter terror and crime and their expected convergence in the coming era. The use of novel foresight tools in the context of anticipatory defense, science communication methodologies, knowledge sharing, its dissemination, and management to overcome threat potential is presented.As one of the first books to delve into post-coronavirus consequences and to examine the linkages between these wide-ranging impacts, Issues of Terrorism in the Post-Coronavirus Era provides essential food for thought for decision-makers, policymakers, academics, global business leaders, students, and lay readers who are concerned about the future of humankind. - E-bokEngelska, 2024

In diesem Buch werden die potenziellen Entwicklungen des Terrorismus und die Möglichkeiten diesen zu verhindern, bewertet. Das Buch thematisiert die wachsende Bedrohung durch die Verfügbarkeit neuer Technologien und wie diese dazu beitragen können, diejenigen mit potenziell böswillige Absichten aufzuhalten. Der Donnerhall des Terrors ertönt von überall her; wie können wir ihn aufhalten? Was sind die Stolpersteine auf dem Weg dorthin und wie können wir sie vermeiden?Immer mehr Menschen haben Zugang zu immer mehr Informationen und immer mehr zerstörerischen Technologien. Inzwischen helfen uns fortschrittliche Technologien, eine sicherere und harmonischere Welt zu schaffen. Vorteile und Nachteile verstärken sich gegenseitig. Während die hybriden Bedrohungen zunehmen, steigen auch die Möglichkeiten, ihnen zu begegnen. Doch was sind die Kompromisse und wie können wir sie abmildern?Dieses Buch befasst sich auch mit den unerwarteten und oft zufälligen Erfolgen und Misserfolgen von Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der sich entwickelnden Terrorgefahr. Die verschiedenen Aspekte des Terrorismusphänomens werden auf einzigartige Weise anhand von Szenarien dargestellt, die dem Leser ein realistisches Bild von der Bedrohung vermitteln. Die Kombination positiver und negativer Auswirkungen aufkommender Technologien beschreibt eine der vielleicht wichtigsten Dimensionen unserer gemeinsamen Zukunft. - E-bokTyska, 2025
