Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Notes Chapter 2 1. De Boer and Sanders unfortunately confuse the moral admonitions of Nichiren with the actual, far more gradual and politically centred decline of the regime: socio-political histories of the period give the role of natural disaster little credit in this regard (see, for example, Souyri, 2002 [1998]). 2. Ironically, the city had been almost as devastated by its sacking by Crusader forces supposedly on the same side, during the Fourth Crusade of 1204 (see Harris, 2004), whose armies were equally destructive of the Islamic cities they captured in the Levant during the al-furub al-salibiyyah (crusader wars) (see Hillenbrand, 1999). 3. There were at least three attempts to wall the ‘north-west frontier’: the last being the best known by the Emperor Hadrian (Johnson, 2004); but there were also the Antonine Wall (Hanson and Maxwell, 1983) and the earlier wall along the Gask Ridge, still being investigated (Wooliscroft, 2002). 4. See John Pike’s GlobalSecurity website ‘US-Mexico Border Fence/ Great Wall of Mexico Secure Fence’ http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/systems/mexico- wall.htm (accessed 20/12/2007). Chapter 3 1. It was not just humans that were regulated. See Blancou (2001) on the history of control of animals and diseases. 2. However, Higonnet (2002) has disputed at least any primarily repressive military motivation for the rebuilding. Chapter 4 1. The amateur historian, Matthew White (2005), uses the term ‘hemoclysm’ (lit. blood-letting) to refer to the massive and unprecedented series of linked wars, massacres and exterminations which characterized the Twentieth Century. As a longue duree´ analysis, this echoes Zygmunt Bauman’s view that the Twentieth Century was characterized by ‘fast and efficient killing, scientifically designed and administered genocide’ (1995, p. 193). 2. Other significant advocates were Basil Liddell-Hart in the United Kingdom, and in Italy, Giulio Douhet. 3. For the official rationale, see Stimson (1947); for a consideration of the different views on this, see Sherwin (1995). 4. These agreements, including the Geneva and Hague Conventions and the multiple agreements and treaties on nuclear weapons, are outside the scope of this book. 264 Notes 265 Chapter 5 1. This idea saw mixed land-use in the city as contributing to greater safety as this would increase the times of day the streets were frequented. 2. Not only did SBD prove successful in reducing criminality but were also often able to elicit a significant discount on household insurance (Conzens et al., 1999). 3. During the first years of the ‘Troubles’ (1968–1970) the commercial core of the city was seen as a relatively neutral space within the segregated sectarian landscape and was relatively unaffected by terrorism. All this changed in July 1970 when a large bomb was detonated in the area without warning. 4. This initially led to fears that these measures would destroy the city centre in a way the Provisional IRA never could, by keeping the customers out (see Brown, 1985; Boal, 1995). 5. It is believed that the term ‘ring of steel’ was first used in 1976 to refer to the amalgamation of the four individual security zones around Belfast City Centre into one large security sector ringed by seventeen 10–12 foot high, steel gates (Coaffee, 2003). 6. Place promotion campaigns were also been used to re-image the stigmatized Central Belfast area in an attempt to shake of its image of terrorist violence (see Gold, 1994; Neil, 1995). 7. Soffer and Minghi highlight that the security landscape evolved over the course of the Twentieth Century but intensified after 1948 with the estab- lishment of the state and again in the late 1960 and early 1970 linked to a series of Middle Eastern regional conflicts. 8. For a detailed account, see Segal and Weizman (eds.) (2003). 9. For a detailed account of the history of CCTV in Britain, see Norris and Armstrong, 1999. 10. Furedi (2006), utilizing the work of criminologist David Garland (2001), referred to the lack of statistics relationship between crime figures and fear of crime as part of a ‘crime complex’ that ‘encompasses a cluster of attitudes that are shaped by the belief that high crime rates are a normal part of life’ and that ‘these attitudes are expressed through a consciousness of crime that is moulded by popular culture and institutionalized in the organization of everyday life’ (p. 3). Chapter 6 1. Jones and Newman also illuminated how there existed a ‘benign co-existence’ (p. 181) between the local police force and the private security agencies who tended to operate in different geographical spaces – the police in the public realm and the private security professionals in the spaces of commerce. 2. The City at this time employed around 130,000–140,000 people and gen- erated an estimated output of £10–15 billion a year for the UK economy (Corporation of London, 1995). 3. Locally the ring of steel was often called ‘the ring of plastic’ as initially access restrictions were based on funnelling traffic through strategically placed rows of traffic cones (Coaffee, 2004). 4. This cordon was again expanded in August 2005. 266 Notes 5. Here preparation involved assessing the likelihood of terrorist attack on your organization; preparing your staff for the possibility of telephoned bomb threats; choosing the mix of protective measures that best suits your premises and that will deter or detect the terrorist; encouraging your staff to remain vigilant; and testing security plans regularly. Chapter 7 1. See also Harvey and Delfabbro (2004) for an overview. 2. The rhetoric of resilience in the media is also often emotive in this way, build- ing on the positive psychological sense of strength gained from exposure, thus underpinning much of the ‘spin’ of resilience as a metaphor which can be deployed strategically in a broader framework of policies. 3. Institutional resilience to change in the context of cross-national collabora- tion and convergence is another approach to resilience not discussed here in depth; for an example of this see Jordan (2003). 4. Whilst economic resilience is useful in itself, its conceptual orientation often excludes socio-cultural and spatial factors (underpinning the reason for adopt- ing a resiliency approach) at the cost of over-privileging the orderly flow of capital. 5. It has also been noted that the risk and frequency of disease outbreaks is increasing, affecting every corner of the globe (see, for example, Hayman, 2004). Chapter 8 1. This demonstrates the global scale of natural hazards planning alongside the global terror threat, but also the need to operate proactively across several scales efficiently (international, national, regional, local). 2. Cited in Walker and Broderick (2006, p. 24). 3. There was also another booklet called Emergency Response and Recovery which dealt with further aspects of IEM published at the same time. 4. A discussion of the detail of the CCA legislation lies beyond the scope of this chapter (for a detailed expose and commentary on the Act, see Walker and Broderick, 2006). 5. A discussion the resiliency arrangements lie beyond the scope of our discussion here. For further information see http://www.scotland.gov.uk/ Topics/Justice/emergencies; http://www.walesresilience.org/; http://cepu. nics.gov.uk/. 6. National Government’s further commitment to this fledgling ‘warning and informing’ strategy was to formalize, from 2003, a National Media Emergency Forum (subsequent regional and local variations have since emerged). This was initially a voluntary body set up in 1996. 7. For example, the urban riots in a number of northern English towns dur- ing the summer of 2001, some of the worst in 20 years, were sparked in part by accusations of racial segregation. This increased concerns regard- ing existing approaches to area-based regeneration and the need to pri- oritize measures that would improve the integration of different ethnic groupings. Notes 267 8. To date this aspect of countering radicalization has involved numerous meetings and discussions between Government misters and senior mem- bers of UK Muslim communities, detailed work undertaken by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in local communities, and the development of grass-roots projects to engage with Muslim youth. 9. The ‘MI’ in MI5 and MI6 stands for ‘Military Intelligence’ and is a hang- over from a much older system of classification of the British intelligence community. 10. This Act uses a clause in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR, Article 5) which allows the Secretary of State to apply to the courts for ‘derogating’ order. The 2005 Act has in recent years been challenged in the UK courts, where under Article 6 of the ECHR (right to a fair hearing) it was successfully argued that this, in certain circumstances, amount to a ‘deprivation of liberty’ (HM Government, 2006, p. 20). 11. Notably this included the creation of a new European Union Counter- Terrorism Strategy in 2005; achieved whilst the United Kingdom held the rotating EU presidency. 12. At present, Project Semaphore – a pilot system – is assessing how this might best be done, and this will be superseded after 2008 with a roll-out of a full e-borders system. 13. CPNI was formed in early 2007 from the merger of the National Infrastruc- ture Security Coordination Centre (NISCC) and a part of MI5 (the Security Service) – the National Security Advice Centre (NSAC). 14. Depending on the nature of the event, different representatives will attend the meeting and advise on contingency arrangements. 15. Under such powers, Parliament could, in theory, be suspended and a bank holiday declared to shut down businesses. Property could be destroyed or requisitioned, mass assemblies banned and freedom of movement limited. In extreme cases, the armed forces can be mobilized and special courts set up to deal with suspects if it was felt another atrocity was planned (The Independent, 2007).

  • Fortification Renaissance: the Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne
    FORTIFICATION RENAISSANCE: THE ROMAN ORIGINS OF THE TRACE ITALIENNE Robert T. Vigus Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2013 APPROVED: Guy Chet, Committee Co-Chair Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Co-Chair Walter Roberts, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Chair of the Department of History Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Vigus, Robert T. Fortification Renaissance: The Roman Origins of the Trace Italienne. Master of Arts (History), May 2013, pp.71, 35 illustrations, bibliography, 67 titles. The Military Revolution thesis posited by Michael Roberts and expanded upon by Geoffrey Parker places the trace italienne style of fortification of the early modern period as something that is a novel creation, borne out of the minds of Renaissance geniuses. Research shows, however, that the key component of the trace italienne, the angled bastion, has its roots in Greek and Roman writing, and in extant constructions by Roman and Byzantine engineers. The angled bastion of the trace italienne was yet another aspect of the resurgent Greek and Roman culture characteristic of the Renaissance along with the traditions of medicine, mathematics, and science. The writings of the ancients were bolstered by physical examples located in important trading and pilgrimage routes. Furthermore, the geometric layout of the trace italienne stems from Ottoman fortifications that preceded it by at least two hundred years. The Renaissance geniuses combined ancient bastion designs with eastern geometry to match a burgeoning threat in the rising power of the siege cannon. Copyright 2013 by Robert T. Vigus ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and encouragement of many people.

  • Tiburzio Spannocchi's Project for the Fortifications of Fuenterrabía in 1580
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Tiburzio Spannocchi’s project for the fortifications of Fuenterrabía in 1580 R. T. Yáñez Pacios & V. Echarri Iribarren University of Alicante, Spain Abstract Fuenterrabía (Hondarribia) is a town located on the Franco-Spanish border. Between the 16th and 19th centuries it was considered to be one of the most outstanding strongholds in the Basque Country due to its strategic position. The bastion system of fortification was extremely prevalent in this stronghold. It was one of the first Spanish towns to adopt the incipient Renaissance designs of the bastion. The military engineers subsequently carried out continuous fortification projects that enabled the structure to withstand the advances being made in artillery and siege tactics. After the construction of the citadel of Pamplona had begun in 1571, following the design of the prestigious military engineer, Jacobo Palear Fratín and being revised by Viceroy Vespasiano Gonzaga, the afore- mentioned engineer undertook an ambitious project commissioned by Felipe II to modernise the fortifications of Fuenterrabía. Neither the plans nor the report of this project have been conserved, but in the year 2000, César Fernández Antuña published the report written by Spannocchi on the state of the fortifications of Fuenterrabía when he arrived to the Spanish peninsula, discovered in the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Zaragoza. This document conducts an in-depth analysis of Spannocchi’s project and how it was related to Fratín’s previous project. It concludes that this project encountered problems in updating the new bastions at the end of the 16th century, and identifies the factors which prevented the stronghold from being extended as was the case in Pamplona after Fratín’s project.

  • Heritage Architecture
    V. Echarri, Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 1, No. 1 (2017) 1–16 FORTIFICATION AND FRONTIER: THE PROJECT DRAWN UP BY JUAN MARTÍN ZERMEÑO FOR PUEBLA DE SANABRIA IN 1766 V. ECHARRI University of Alicante, Spain. ABSTRACT Following the death of Engineer General Jorge Próspero de Verboom in 1744 and after a few years of transition in the management of Spanish fortifications, Juan Martín Zermeño took on the role, initially with a temporary mandate, but then definitively during a second period that ran from 1766 until his death in 1772. He began this second period with a certain amount of concern because of what had taken place during the last period of conflict.T he Seven Years War (1756–1763) which had brought Spain into conflict with Portugal and England in the Caribbean had also lead to conflict episodes along the Spanish–Portuguese border. Zermeño’s efforts as a planner and general engineer gave priority to the northern part of the Span- ish–Portuguese border. After studying the territory and the existing fortifications on both sides of the border, Zermeño drew up three important projects in 1766. The outposts that needed to be reinforced were located, from north to south, at Puebla de Sanabria, Zamora and Ciudad Rodrigo, which is where he is believed to have come from. This latter township already had a modern installation built immedi- ately after the War of the Spanish Succession and reinforced with the fort of La Concepción. However, Zamora and Puebla de Sanabria had some obsolete fortifications that needed modernising. Since the middle of the 15th century Puebla de Sanabria had had a modern castle with rounded tur- rets, that of the Counts of Benavente.

Siege warfare figures significantly in this accounting, for extended sieges quickly consumed short campaign seasons and prevented decisive victory. The resulting prolongation of wars and the cost of besieging dozens of fortresses with tens of thousands of men forced “fiscal- military” states to continue to elevate short-term financial considerations above long-term political reforms; Louis’s wars consumed 75% or more of the annual royal budget. Historians of 17th century Europe credit one French engineer – Sébastien le Prestre de Vauban – with significantly reducing these costs by toppling the impregnability of 16th century artillery fortresses. Vauban perfected and promoted an efficient siege, a “scientific” method of capturing towns that minimized a besieger’s casualties, delays and expenses, while also sparing the town’s civilian populace.

The Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca was carefully constructed during his lifetime to be his lasting legacy in New Spain. The goal of this dissertation is to reexamine published primary sources in light of this new argument and integrate unknown archival material to trace the development of a lasting legacy by Cortés and his direct heirs in Spanish colonial Mexico. Part one looks at Cortés’s life after the conquest of Mexico, giving particular attention to the themes of fame and honor and how these ideas guided his actions. The importance of land and property in and after the conquest is also highlighted. Part two is an examination of the marquisate, discussing the key features of the various landholdings and also their importance to the legacy Cortés sought to construct.

  • The Impact Off Crusader Castles Upon European Western Castles
    THE IMPACT OF CRUSADER CASTLES UPON EUROPEAN WESTERN CASTLES IN THE MIDDLE AGES JORDAN HAMPE MAY 2009 A SENIOR PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ARTS IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDIES UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN- LA CROSSE Abstract: During the Middle Ages, the period from roughly AD 1000-1450, the structure of castles changed greatly from wooden motte and bailey to stone keeps and defenses within stone city walls. The reason for the change was largely influenced by the crusades as Europeans went to the Holy Lands to conquer. In addition to conquering, these kings brought back a new way of designing and fortifying their castles in England, Wales and France. Without the influence of the crusades, what we think of as true middle age castles would not exist. For my paper I will analyze the impact the crusades had on forming the middle age castles by evidence surviving in the archaeological record from before and after the crusades as well as modifications done on castles to accommodate crusader changes to show the drastic influence of crusader castle fortifications upon English, Welsh and French castles. 1 Introduction Construction of what is believed to be true middle age castles from A.D. 1000 to 1450 began as kings arrived back from the crusades to the Holy Lands, bringing with them ideas of how to make their castles grander and more easily defensible. Before the crusades William I of England was beginning to develop a new concentric style of castle beginning with the Tower of London. After the crusades many English, Welsh and French kings took the concentric concept and combined it with what they saw on the crusades and developed it to become majestic castles and fortresses like Chateau Gaillard in France, Dover Castle in England, and Caernarvon Castle in Wales.
