Rounding up the usual suspects? Developments in contemporary law enforcement intelligence. Peter Gill, Ashgate, 2000, pp290.

"A conceptual and empirical map of the local, national and global development of intelligence-led policing". Gill argues that the emerging framework for accountability and regulation for these new technologies and strategies is inadequate in terms of the protection of individual human rights.

Losing Control: Global Security in the Twenty-first Century. Paul Rogers, Pluto Press, 2000, pp164 (£12.99).

Rogers argues that the post Cold-war security problems are due far more to the gap between rich and poor than the "threats" conjured up strategists. He suggests that the western states' desire to maintain the status quo (backed up by rapid deployment, long-range strikes and counter-insurgency) is not only unjust and ethically unacceptable, but unsustainable in military terms.

Our work is only possible with your support.
