Rebel Courts
Warzones are sometimes described as lawless, but this is rarely the case. Armed insurgents often replace the state as the provider of law and justice in areas under their authority. Based on extensive field work, Rebel Courts offers a compelling insight into the judicial governance of armed groups, a phenomenon never studied comprehensively until now.

The Devils Rebirth
The Devil’s Rebirth: The Terror Triangle of Ikhwan, IRGC and Hezbollah” is the work of leading academics and researchers from around the world, who have spent their days and nights to pen this comprehensive research, which aims to disclose the secret networking of globally recognised terrorist organisations, Ikhwan Ul Muslimeen, IRGC and Hezbollah. These organisations are rooted in public and have been in existence for more than seventy years. Their prime goal is to begin a non -violent struggle in order to win the hearts and minds of the local public, before turning them into the menace of terrorism.

The Economies of Violence
The covert interplay between violence and economies has long eluded public scrutiny, remaining a neglected topic in academic and policy circles alike. Amidst the proclamation of the “liberal peace”, democratic nations in the 90s sidestepped discussions on violent influences within their borders. Yet, the repercussions of economic violence, spanning psychological trauma to societal upheaval, persist globally. Beyond preconceived ideas limiting violence to geographic areas and certain political regimes, identifying the profiteers and veiled beneficiaries of such systems is paramount. This understanding is crucial in dismantling the undemocratic underpinnings of economies of violence, fostering a path towards equity and peace. Contributors are Arturo Alvarado, Alain Bauer, Clotilde Champeyrache, Julien Dechanet, Nazia Hussain, David Izadifar, Louise Shelley, and Guillaume Soto-Mayor.
Civil War in Syria

The Taliban Courts in Afghanistan
How did the Taliban gain the trust of the Afghan population through decades of conflict? How did they put themselves in a position to regulate social relations? And with what consequences for Afghan society? The Taliban Courts in Afghanistan: Waging War by Law explores how the Taliban used the law as a resource in its conflict with militarily and technologically superior Western armies. While the international coalition set up an inadequate and corrupt legal system, the Taliban set up hundreds of courts in the countryside. By insisting on due process, impartiality of judges, and the enforcement of verdicts, this system of justice established itself as one of the few sources of predictability...
La puissance américaine à l'épreuve
A un an des prochaines élections présidentielles américaines, cette revue aborde la question de la "puissance" américaine au travers des concepts de hard power, soft power et de smart power. Quelles sont les implications du recours à la force militaire sur l'environnement humain, sociopolitique et militaire de l'Irak et de l'Afghanistan, alors que les troupes en Libye se désengagent ? Deux articles concernent la politique intérieure : l'un sur les mutations du processus legislatif au sein du Sénat des Etats-Unis et l'autre sur le phénomène des Tea Parties.
Le spectacle et ses drames
Au confluent de la réalité et de la fiction, de l’art et de la vie, cet ouvrage dresse l’état des lieux du spectacle et de ses drames au tournant des vingtième et vingt et unième siècles. Et il s’intéresse au point de vue de la recherche-création dans les arts vivants. Pourquoi l’art dramatique s’est-il désintégré et désenchaîné à un tel point ? En quoi et comment l’adversité haineuse de la société entraîne-t-elle la consomption du drame traditionnel ou du théâtre ? Ce premier volume contextualise et ausculte des pratiques vivantes. Il regarde de l’intérieur et de l’extérieur notre temps, notre vie personnelle et publique, ses tendances lourdes ou ses signaux marginaux, ainsi que les façons d’être, les coutumes, les comportements, les usages et la moralité.
