Human trafficking, and the related problems of organised crime and prostitution, has become a serious problem for post-Soviet countries since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Human trafficking has a major impact on the countries of origin, the destination countries and the countries of transit, and is a concern for those studying population and migration, economics, politics, international relations and security studies.

In contemporary late-modern society, security landscapes are being re-sketched. Various traditional and new security providers are part of this evolving scene. The military and the police, who are thought of as 'the old boys in town,' are meeting once again. As central components in the power structure of any State, they are heavily involved in this new security design, generating both latent and obvious blurring of boundaries. From different perspectives, this book explores the blurring boundaries between the military and the police. It presents historical contexts, concepts, implications, challenges, and cases. The blurring of boundaries can therefore be interpreted in two ways, as either complementary or competitive. 0300 EAST

A definitive global survey of the interaction of race, ethnicity, nationalism and politics, this handbook blends theoretically grounded, rigorous analysis with empirical illustrations, to provide a state-of-the art overview of the contemporary debates on one of the most pervasive international security challenges today. The contributors to this volume offer a 360-degree perspective on ethnic conflict: from the theoretical foundations of nationalism and ethnicity, to the causes and consequences of ethnic conflict, and to the various strategies adopted in response to it. Without privileging any specific explanation of why ethnic conflict happens at a specific place and time or why attempts at preventing or settling it might fail or succeed, the Routledge Handbook of Ethnic Conflict enables readers to gain better insights into such defining moments in post-Cold War international history as the disintegrations of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and their respective consequences and the genocide in Rwanda, as well as the relative success of conflict settlement efforts in Northern Ireland, Macedonia, and Aceh. 8070 CORD

Project Triangle aims to inform law enforcement on international shipping of stolen vehicles and 'drive out' incidents across land borders. It provides realistic achievable and proportionate recommendations, based on identified best practice, that will increase the effectiveness of law enforcement and be beneficial for trade.
