This book provides the first attempt to synthesise what is a pervasive phenomenon, and one that is mentioned tangentially in many political analyses, but nowhere receives the systematic and theoretical treatment that its significance to the working of 'democratic' political practice deserves. It will thus be a volume that should interest a range of scholars in government and political theory, in comparative politics and communications.

Today, perhaps more than any other time in history, are people conscious of the importance of political and civil liberties. The astonishing events of the last few years have opened eyes and drawn attention across the world to countless struggles for freedom. In this volume, Freedom House, the nation's leading human rights advocacy group, presents among other information the findings of the nineteenth Comparative Survey of Freedom. The background of freedom in each of the nations of the world is presented along with an account of the impact of current events. The status of political and civil liberties is assessed and the country is assigned a rating based on the assessment. The results of the survey are graphically presented in the colorful Map of Freedom, a wonderful display of the shifting geography of freedom. In addition to the country-by-country rating, the book offers invaluable resource information including tables and charts which show at a glance the major changes that have taken place over the last year. Regional overviews of Asia, Africa, the United States, etc. by acknowledged experts summarize the year's major events for different parts of the world.

Intelligence is now acknowledged as the hidden dimension to international diplomacy and national security. It is the hidden piece of the jigsaw puzzle of global relations that cements relationships, undermines alliances and topples tyrants, and after many decades of being deliberately overlooked or avoided, it is now regarded as a subject of legitimate study by academics and historians. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of International Intelligence covers its history through a chronology, an introductory essay, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on espionage techniques, categories of agents, crucial operations spies, defectors, moles, double and triple agents, and the tradecraft they apply. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the international intelligence.

Economic Principles of Law, first published in 2007, applies economics to the doctrines, rules and remedies of the common law. In plain English and using non-technical analysis, it offers an introduction and exposition of the 'economic approach' to law - one of the most exciting and vibrant fields of legal scholarship and applied economics. Beginning with a brief history of the field, it sets out the basic economic concepts useful to lawyers, and applies these to assess the core areas of the common law - property, contract, tort and crime - with particular emphasis on their doctrinal structure and remedies. This is done using leading cases drawn from the birthplace of the common law (England & Wales) and other common law jurisdictions. The book serves as a primer to the wider use of economics which has become increasingly important for law students, lawyers, legislators, regulators and those concerned with our legal system generally.
