I extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation, on behalf of the editorial board, to all the intellect members of the advisory board and all other scholars who made their generous contributions at different levels of publication process the journal had to go through. Special thanks go to the former chief editor Mr. Basudeb Banik whose sheer devotion and invaluable directions led to the debut of this journal. Changes in team members might come in course of time but our goal remains the same, which is helping build a safer society by addressing the existing social problems and pointing out the feasible solutions to those. There is no better means than research to analyze the reproaches and thereafter explore the best way out at this end. We have had a wonderful experience as we witnessed a dramatic rise in the number of submissions for issue II. A number of brilliant academicians, researchers from universities, organizations have responded enthusiastically as to contributing to the journal with their research articles. We appreciate and expect your continued support in the years to come. This issue (Issue II) contains nine articles. The editorial board had earlier decided to keep the focus mainly on policing for this issue. In the 1st article, you will see the author doing an analysis on a spectrum of mindset of newly recruits in police with regard to their commitment to serve the nation and coming up with some excellent pragmatic recommendations to achieve envisioned policing. The author of the 2nd article kept his research focus rather on finding out the effectiveness of police reforms made in recent years. Articles on organized crimes such as terrorism, women trafficking that have been global concern, also made way into this issue. In the 3rd article, the authors have addressed the possible risk factors pushing people towards social intolerance or VII extremist attitude in context of Bangladesh and later you will find the authors of 7th article analyzing the issue of women trafficking, another organized crime affecting Bangladesh, through the lens of feminism in light of globalization. Rohinga crisis, a very burning issue now-a-days, has been analyzed in the 4th article and the author has put forward a few recommendations as to the remedy to this national crisis. The author of the 5th article will be found to delve deep into the past of Bengal police to give an account of what they used to serve. Article no. 6 deals with a major concern now-a-days which is juvenile delinquency and the authors have carefully addressed the risk factors leading to juvenile delinquency. You will find the authors in the 8th article to analyze the deficiencies and flaws in treatment process in drug rehabilitation centers. And at last, SDG targets achievable by local police will be found to be a subject of research in article no. 9. Upon closer scrutiny and on account of a particular mindset of the editorial members, these 9 articles got accepted for this issue. We are highly looking forward to setting out for our next issue. We are very thankful to our chief patron Md. Benazir Ahmed, Inspector General of Bangladesh police for his inspiration and unconditional support. I also take the opportunity to thank the entire journal team whose relentless efforts and dedication have got the journal this far. We are thrilled to watch the journal flourish and head towards maturity gradually. Dear readers, accept our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for staying with us in this journey. You are highly encouraged to make suggestions and recommendations as to what we can do to make this journal a big success. Md. Muklesur Rahman Addl.

Existing accounts of obligation cannot parry critiques from rival theories, nor refute philosophical anarchists’ formidable attack on obligation. To move discussion of obligation forward, this dissertation offers an alternative solution to what George Klosko has called the ‘voluntarist paradox’ of liberal-democratic political obligation. While liberal ideas about the individual require that any obligation to obey be assumed through a voluntary act, individuals do not voluntarily assume obligations frequently enough to support legitimacy claims. In response to this paradox, most scholars deploy non-voluntary justifications for a general obligation to obey, while philosophical anarchists deny that such an obligation exists at all. In contrast, I argue that overcoming the voluntarist paradox requires a radically different view of the aims and scope of political obligation.

  • Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950
    Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850–1950 Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defec- tive process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evo- lution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies cov- ering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their succes- sor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and “reestablished” institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how represent- ative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.

  • U.S. Restrictions on Relations with Burma
    U.S. Restrictions on Relations with Burma Updated March 18, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44570 U.S. Restrictions on Relations with Burma Summary Major changes in Burma’s political situation since 2016 have raised questions among some Members of Congress concerning the appropriateness of U.S. policy toward Burma (Myanmar) in general, and the current restrictions on relations with Burma in particular. During the time Burma was under military rule (1962–2011), restrictions were placed on bilateral relations in an attempt to encourage the Burmese military, or Tatmadaw, to permit the restoration of democracy. In November 2015, Burma held nationwide parliamentary elections from which Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) emerged as the party with an absolute majority in both chambers of Burma’s parliament. The new government subsequently appointed Aung San Suu Kyi to the newly created position of State Counselor, as well as Foreign Minister. While the NLD controls the parliament and the executive branch, the Tatmadaw continues to exercise significant power under provisions of Burma’s 2008 constitution, impeding potential progress towards the re-establishment of a democratically-elected civilian government in Burma. On October 7, 2016, after consultation with Aung San Suu Kyi, former President Obama revoked several executive orders pertaining to sanctions on Burma, and waived restrictions required by Section 5(b) of the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE (Junta Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2008 (P.L. 110-286), removing most of the economic restrictions on relations with Burma. On December 2, 2016, he issued Presidential Determination 2017-04, ending some restrictions on U.S.

Right Authority for States and Non-States A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University by Oren J. Litwin Master of Arts George Mason University, 2010 Bachelor of Arts Yeshiva University, 2006 Director: Char R. Miller, Professor Department of Political Science Fall Semester 2014 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright © 2014 by Oren J. Litwin. All rights reserved. ii DEDICATION This work is dedicated to my wife Diane, to my parents, and to the memory of Dr. Frances Harbour, who encouraged me to pursue this topic and gave critical support and advice up to the end. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This work would have been far inferior (if it would have existed at all) without the input of many different people over several years. Dr. Frances Harbour was my original dissertation committee chair; it was in her Ethics in IR class that the nucleus of this argument first took shape, and she strongly encouraged me to turn it into my dissertation and was a great support during the early "flailing around" phase of theory development. Dr. Char Miller agreed to step in as chair when Dr. Harbour passed away, and he and my other committee members have supported me despite imperfect circumstances and the difficulties of working remotely. Dr. Eric McGlinchey and Dr. Jo-Marie Burt in particular guided my engagement with the Comparative Politics subfield, the main concepts of which mark this dissertation in fundamental ways; I owe them both a great intellectual debt.

  • The Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention: the Rohingya and Uighurs’ Leviathan, 11 (1), 49 - 54 the Ethics of Humanitarian Intervention: the Rohingya and Uighurs
    Kichmann, S. (2020) ‘The ethics of humanitarian intervention: the Rohingya and Uighurs’ Leviathan, 11 (1), 49 - 54 The ethics of humanitarian intervention: the Rohingya and Uighurs Samantha Kichmann explores the ethical and political factors at play in an analysis of international humanitarian intervention through a case study of the Uighurs and Rohingya. urrently, there are two particularly pressing human rights crises attracting international attention: the state-sponsored persecution of Uighurs in China and of the Rohingya in Myanmar. Both groups are CMuslim ethnic minorities who claim victimhood of various abuses at the hands of their governments. The Uighurs are an indigenous Turkic people hailing from the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, with a historically complicated relationship with China: the Uighurs have expressed a desire for independence since the 1980s, while Beijing claims that Uighur nationalists have resorted to terrorism against the government (Terhune & Jonathon 2016, 142-144). In Xinjiang, at least one million Uighurs are detained in ‘re-education camps’ that Western powers can observe only via satellite imaging (Perlez 2019). Meanwhile, in Myanmar, the Rohingya have long been an oppressed minority, frequently subject to detention in internally displaced persons camps and to direct and structural violence, including ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide (Kingston 2015, 1167). Both cases raise the question of whether intervention is necessary and, if so, who has the responsibility and ability to intervene. The liberal West has long considered humanitarian intervention to be an essential duty (Pattison 2002, 268), but how can interventions take place without taking the form of Western-centric neo- imperialism or an imposition of Western interests over local ones? In an attempt to answer this question, we will review relevant tenets of just war theory and Mutua’s ‘Savage-Victim-Saviour’ conception of universal human rights in an attempt to define ethical intervention and bound it within a theoretical framework.
