Abstract

Disorder erupted in Ukraine in 2014, involving the overthrow of a sitting government, the Russian annexation of the Crimean peninsula, and a violent insurrection, supported by Moscow, in the east of the country. This book argues that the crisis has yielded a ruinous outcome, in which all the parties are worse off and international security has deteriorated. This negative-sum scenario resulted from years of zero-sum behaviour on the part of Russia and the West in post-Soviet Eurasia, which the authors rigorously analyse. The rivalry was manageable in the early period after the Cold War, only to become entrenched and bitter a decade later. The upshot has been systematic losses for Russia, the West and the countries caught in between. All the governments involved must recognise that long-standing policies aimed at achieving one-sided advantage have reached a dead end, the authors argue, and commit to finding mutually acceptable alternatives through patient negotiation.

Abstract

Les images en provenance du Kivu se suivent et se ressemblent : des victimes civiles fuyant les zones de combat, des exactions et des viols perpétrés par toutes les forces armées impliquées dans le conflit, des Casques bleus plus observateurs qu’acteurs... Une guerre indissociable des événements au Rwanda en 1994. L’ombre du génocide plane toujours, même si le « droit de poursuite » de l’armée rwandaise contre les « génocidaires » aura surtout été la façade d’un pillage systématique et organisé de l’est du Congo. Si le vide politique à la suite de l’implosion de l’Etat n’a fait que compliquer la donne, il reste que la guerre couvait depuis longtemps. Dans une première partie, l’auteur décrit et analyse l’évolution du contexte politique et socio-économique au fil des décennies. Sont notamment abordées la dimension ethnique et la situation démographique caractérisée par des densités élevées. Vient ensuite le temps des seigneurs de la guerre – de Laurent-Désiré Kabila à Laurent Nkunda – et de bandes armées informes qui n’ont en général d’autre agenda que les razzias et le banditisme. La deuxième partie traite des « parrains » du Congo (ONU, Union européenne, …) : leurs injonctions diplomatiques sur la «bonne gouvernance» et la démocratie, la lutte contre la corruption, le déversement de millions de dollars en aide humanitaire, de multiples accords de cessez-le-feu et de paix, … Des actions de la « communauté internationale » sans grand succès jusqu’à présent ! La question vient donc à l’esprit : le Kivu, véritable poudrière de l’Afrique centrale, pourra-t-il un jour s’en sortir ? L’auteur apporte des éléments de réponse, au-delà des propos convenus.

Abstract

Terrorism is one of the most significant security threats that we face in the twenty-first century. Not surprisingly, there is now a plethora of books on the subject, offering definitions of what terrorism is and proffering advice on what causes it and how states should react to it. But one of the most important questions about terrorism has, until now, been left remarkably under-scrutinized: does it work? Richard English now brings thirty years of professional expertise studying terrorism to the task of answering this complex - and controversial - question. Focussing principally on four of the most significant terrorist organizations of the last fifty years (al-Qaida, the Provisional IRA, Hamas, and ETA), and using a wealth of interview material with former terrorists as well as those involved in counter-terrorism, he argues that we need a far more honest understanding of the degree to which terrorism actually works - as well as a more nuanced insight into the precise ways in which it does so. Only then can we begin to grapple more effectively with what has become one of the most challenging and eye-catching issues of our time.
