Anti-War Movement Online, Preprint
The UK Anti-War Movement Online: Uses and Limitations of Internet 1 Technologies for Contemporary Activism Kevin Gillan, University of Manchester [email protected] Abstract This article uses interviews with committed anti-war and peace activists to offer an overview of both the benefits and challenges that social movements derive from new communication technologies. It shows contemporary political activism to be intensely informational; dependent on the sensitive adoption of a wide range of communication technologies. A hyperlink analysis is then employed to map the UK anti-war movement as it appears online. Through comparing these two sets of data it becomes possible to contrast the online practices of the UK anti-war movement with its offline ‘reality’. When encountered away from the Web recent anti-war contention is grounded in national-level political realities and internally divided by its political diversity but to the extent that experience of the movement is mediated online, it routinely transcends national and political boundaries. Keywords Anti-war movement; Internet; email; hyperlink analysis. This is a preprint of an article submitted for consideration in the Information Communication & Society , 2008 © Taylor and Francis. Information Communication & Society is available online at: http://journalsonline.tandf.co.uk/ 1 Introduction – Connecting the ‘Virtual’ and the ‘Real’ Internet communication has become vital to social movement organizations and participation in the latest anti-war movements has been boosted by activists’ Internet practices (Nah, Veenstra and Shah 2006). The more central the Internet has come to political activism, the more it has become the route through which individuals first experience key collective actors. -

The Israeli Military and the "Decommissioners"
The Israeli Military and the "Decommissioners" On the 17th of January 2009, Israeli warplanes pounded the terrified inhabitants of the densely populated Gaza strip in over 50 air-strikes. It was the 22nd day of Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli military assault on Gaza that left an estimated 1400 dead, including over 300 children. In the early hours of that morning on a quiet industrial estate 2000 miles away, six peace activists scaled the perimeter fencing of the UK factory EDO/ITT, which, it is claimed, makes vital components for Israeli F-16s – the backbone of the airforce bombarding Gaza. After entering the factory through a broken window, the six set about systematically destroying computers and machinery with hammers. When they were finished ‘decommissioning’ the factory, they had caused an estimated $300,000 worth of damage. They then lay on the floor and waited to be arrested. The trial of the activists, who have become known as the ‘Decommissioners’, began a week after Israel once again caused international outcry – this time with killing of nine peace activists, whom Israel accused of being a violent ‘lynch mob’. Like the attempts to defend the Mavi Marmara from Israeli commandos, the actions of the Decommissioners have sparked fierce debate over the line between passive resistance and aggressive action and how far it is reasonable to go in defying aggression. The activists stand accused of conspiracy to commit criminal damage. They are pleading not guilty on the grounds that they were acting to prevent a greater crime – the -

Exploring Roots of Terrorism
Exploring Roots of Terrorism Dipak K. Gupta Distinguished Professor in Political Science Research Associate, Fed J. Hansen Institute for World Peace Program Chair, International Security and Conflict Resolution San Diego State University Forthcoming in: Tore Bjørgo (ed.) Root Causes of Terrorism. London: Routledge (2004). 2 3 Exploring Roots of Terrorism Dipak K. Gupta Department of Political Science Fed J. Hansen Institute for World Peace San Diego State University Factors of Individual Motivation Terrorism has a long history, but its systematic analysis has a short past. Within this relatively brief period of time, spanning perhaps not much longer than three decades, analytical literature on the causes of terrorism has simply mushroomed.1 The rate of publications of academic and journalistic books and articles is getting even more accelerated since the days when the United States and other western countries started to feel its nefarious effects. Despite its sheer volume and diversity, if there are a few thin but resolute threads that run through this rapidly burgeoning literature, they are: • It is nearly impossible to define “terrorism.” • The link between sociopolitical and economic structural factors, such as poverty, lack of economic opportunity, etc. and terrorism is weak • There is no single profile of a “terrorist” All of these above conclusions define the contours of not what we know, but what we don’t know about terrorism. In favor of this meager harvest, we may do well to recall the Socratic wisdom: “What you know may be less important than what you don’t know.” Facing such a conundrum in looking for the “root causes” of terrorism, in this article, I would like to start with a different approach. -
After Iraq: Stanley Hoffmann and the Role of the United States in the International System
Essays – peer-reviewed USAbroad – Journal of American History and Politics. Vol. 1 (2018) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-2752/7156 ISSN 2611-2752 After Iraq: Stanley Hoffmann and the Role of the United States in the International System Alice Ciulla Submitted: July 13, 2017 – Accepted: February 6, 2018 – Published: March 1, 2018 Abstract The article analyzes Stanley Hoffmann’s view on US foreign policy in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, and especially on the Bush administration’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. It is based on his books, including his earlier ones, Gulliver’s Troubles, Janus and Minerva, and Duties Beyond Borders, and on the essays he published in the New York Review of Books from 2001 until 2006. Hoffmann’s analysis represents a powerful example of how “unfinished” the debate on American foreign policy is and will probably always be.

The Risk of Nuclear Terrorism
Scientists for Global Responsibility Newsletter No. 28 November 2003 The Risk of Nuclear Terrorism Frank Barnaby explores the ways in which terrorists could seek to use nuclear material.
