FINALIST FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE 'Monumental and highly readable... by smartly knitting together the past with the present, Zubok brings a prescient and fresh perspective' Financial Times A sweeping, original history of the Cold War, from an acclaimed historian of the USSR Why did the Cold War erupt so soon after the Second World War? How did it escalate so rapidly, spanning five continents over six decades? And what led to the spectacular collapse of the Soviet Union? In this comprehensive guide to the most widespread conflict in contemporary history, Vladislav Zubok traces the origins of the Cold War in post-war Europe, through the tumultuous decades of confrontation, to the fall of the Berlin Wall and beyond. With remarkable clarity and unique perspective, Zubok argues that the Cold War, often seen as an existential battle between capitalist democracy and totalitarian communism, has long been misunderstood. He challenges the popular Western narrative that economic superiority and democratic values led the USA to victory. Instead, he looks beyond the familiar images of East-West rivalry, shining a light on the impact of non-Western actors and placing the war in the context of global decolonization, Soviet weakness and the accidents of history. Here, he interrogates what happens when stability and peace are no longer the default, when treaties are broken and when diplomacy ceases to function. Drawing on years of research and informed by Zubok's three decades in the USSR followed by three decades in the West, The World of the Cold War paints a striking portrait of a world on the brink.

Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice

This volume offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis of the evolving frameworks for protecting cultural property, with a particular focus on the development of dispute resolution mechanisms at both national and international levels. Despite longstanding legal and institutional safeguards, cultural property continues to face serious threats from both persistent and emerging challenges, including illicit trafficking, looting, unauthorized excavations, cultural cleansing, and destruction caused by international and non-international armed conflicts. The growing influence of non-state armed groups and terrorist organizations further exacerbates these risks. In addition, the volume addresses new and compounding threats such as climate change, natural disasters, and the use of advanced technologies to produce counterfeit artefacts highlighting the urgent need for more effective, integrated protection strategies.
Contributions from experts in law, archaeology, history, and conservation science provide a multidimensional perspective on cultural property protection. Special attention is also given to the work of commissions and restitution bodies established to address the recovery of art looted during the Second World War. The roles of administrative bodies, museums, galleries, international organizations, and both governmental and non-governmental actors are critically examined within the broader context of cultural governance. Particular attention is given to judicial and non-judicial dispute resolution mechanisms, as well as the involvement of national and international law enforcement agencies. Case studies from conflict-affected regions including Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Ukraine offer insights into the practical implementation of protective measures under conditions of extreme risk. The volume also explores the application of scientific methods in detecting forged artefacts and their evidentiary value in legal proceedings. It further explores how analytical techniques applied in the study of historical materials support the restoration and conservation of cultural property, including the identification of appropriate soils, fabrics, and other materials necessary for accurate reconstruction.
This work serves as an essential resource for a wide audience, including students, academics, legal professionals, law enforcement officials, policymakers, representatives of international organizations such as UNESCO, INTERPOL, UNIDROIT, ICOMOS, and ICOM, as well as museums and governmental bodies, all of whom are engaged in the protection and preservation of cultural property across diverse contexts, whether in times of peace or armed conflict.

Multiple Mechanisms For A Single Objective

Protecting Cultural Property

Studies in International Law

This book makes a simple but consequential claim: individuals who decisively influence a state's decision to use armed force should be held criminally responsible for aggressive war. Challenging the prevailing orthodoxy, it reinterprets the leadership clause in the definition of the crime of aggression and offers a new responsibility framework that reflects how decisions about war are actually made. Under this approach, liability is not confined to heads of state and top military leaders but extends to civilian power brokers, private actors, and third-state officials who are present at key moments of deliberation and, as reason-giving and reason-demanding participants, exercise decisive influence over whether a state goes to war or continues one. By clarifying who counts as a 'leader' and why, the book charts a principled middle path between overcriminalizing ordinary participants in war, such as common foot soldiers and private citizens, and exempting those who set unlawful wars in motion. Drawing on an eclectic set of sources, the book offers a timely rethinking of individual responsibility for the unlawful uses of force.

Responsibility for the Crime of Aggression under International Law

The rivetingly tense and timely conclusion to the Arkady Renko series - an iconic character from a titan of the political crime thriller genre. When Arkady Renko is charged with investigating the murder of Alexei Kazasky, the Deputy Minister of Defence, he knows he has to tread carefully. Alexei Kazasky is a high-profile politician and has a complicated relationship with Putin. This investigation clearly has Kremlin approval, but, as with everything in Russia, things are not always what they seem. Already preoccupied with his developing Parkinson's, Arkady finds he has more to worry about. The war in Ukraine is gaining momentum, and his adopted son Zhenya has become involved with the Black Army, a Russo-Ukrainian group of hacktivists. Moreover, as Arkady digs deeper into Kazasky's murder, he realizes that the man's death may have been more politically motivated than he first assumed. Now it seems that the people behind the killing have him firmly in their crosshairs - but this time Arkady's life is not the only one on the line. PRAISE FOR MARTIN CRUZ SMITH: 'Does more on a page than most writers manage in a chapter. He is unique and irreplaceable' MICK HERRON 'Among the first of a new generation of writers who made thrillers literary' GUARDIAN 'One of those writers that anyone who is serious about their craft views with respect bordering on awe' VAL McDERMID¿ 'The undisputed master of the political crime thriller' ABIR MUKHERJEE 'One of the finest writers of our age' CHARLOTTE PHILBY&nbsp;

Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump’s Washington — a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation’s political system. Graft and self-interest have long typified both Democratic and Republican administrations. Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.

This book examines the development of the Russian oil and gas industry over recent decades, showing how, in a series of in-depth case studies of previous international company involvement, international companies should in future cope with the business environment, how they should acquire local knowledge, deal with the state, and forge partnerships with domestic companies, but only to a limited extent.

Russia is the world’s largest producer of both oil and gas, with very significant reserves. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union the exploitation of oil and gas has taken place mainly in existing "Soviet legacy" fields, where established, relatively simple technologies were sufficient. This enabled the Russian state and local Russian entrepreneurs to be major players in the oil and gas industry, making use of international oil and gas companies and their expertise, but not wholly reliant on international companies. As the position is now changing, with "Soviet legacy" fields coming to the end of their lives, and with a growing need for more difficult fields to be exploited, requiring more advanced technology, the role of international companies is likely to be greater in future. This book examines the development of the Russian oil and gas industry over recent decades, showing how, in a series of in-depth case studies of previous international company involvement, international companies should in future cope with the business environment, how they should acquire local knowledge, deal with the state, and forge partnerships with domestic companies, but only to a limited extent.

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER The world's criminals earn trillions every year. They keep almost all of it. Every effort to stop them has failed. Why? Join Oliver Bullough through the looking glass, voyaging through the dark heart of the global economy: where flows of dirty banknotes, designer goods and baby eels prop up illicit networks spanning from Miami to Shanghai - via, strangely, North Oxfordshire. Cryptocurrencies flow through ledgers that would look familiar to a fifteenth-century Florentine banker. Casinos, lottery tickets and government ignorance all power the merry-go-round of dirty money. And it all works brilliantly. Better than ever. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

Images of nature abound in the practice of international environmental law but their significance in law is unclear. Drawing on visual jurisprudence, and interpretative methods for visual art, this book analyses photographs for their representations of nature's aesthetic value in treaty processes that concern world heritage, whales and biodiversity. It argues that visual images should be embraced in the prosaic practice of international law, particularly for treaties that demand judgements of nature's aesthetic value. This environmental value is in practice conflated with natural beauty, ethical and cultural values, and displaced by economic and scientific values. Interpretations of visual images can serve instead to critique and conceive sensory, imaginative and emotional appreciations of nature from different cultural perspectives as proposed by philosophers of environmental aesthetics. Addressing questions of value and the visual, this landmark book shows how images can be engaged by nations to better protect the environment under international law.

Images of nature abound in international environmental law but their significance is unclear. This landmark book shows how interpretations of images through visual art can inform judgements of nature's aesthetic value under treaties in ways relevant to international law practitioners, legal scholars of the visual, and environmental philosophers.

The book offers the first systematic account of the European Court of Human Rights' actual and potential response to the wave of authoritarian populism consolidating across Council of Europe states. It develops an original framework combining philosophical, social-scientific and legal analysis. The book first develops the claim that authoritarian populism is characterised by a severe distortion of democracy and a corrupt rule of law. Drawing on these insights, the book points to the infrastructural erosion of Convention rights, highlighting the limits of the Court's 'democratic society' in the media, judicial, and electoral domains. Taking into account the Court's subsidiary position, the book demonstrates how the Court's proportionality test can and should be enhanced to better detect and respond to infrastructural erosion across these areas.

The Collaborators

Twenty years ago Putin's fiercest critic was gunned down. Anna Politkovskaya was one of the great, heroic investigative journalists of the modern era. Shining a light on Russian state corruption, human rights abuses, and the brutal conflict in Chechnya she was renowned for her unwavering commitment to exposing the harsh realities of life in Russia under Vladimir Putin's regime. That was until her violent murder in 2006. In this collection, published ahead of the twentieth anniversary of her death, the raw, unflinching prose that defined Politkovskaya's career is brought together to provide an unparalleled look at the complexities of modern Russia and the enduring fight for human rights within it. Through vivid storytelling and courageous reporting, Politkovskaya delves into themes of political oppression, the struggle for justice, and the resilience of the human spirit. The Essential Anna Politkovskaya is not just a tribute to a remarkable journalist, but a crucial reminder of the power of the written word to challenge authority and inspire change.
