The Forgotten Vocabulary of Strategy Vol.1
Strategy literature is abundant, but there is no book that shows you how to actually think strategically. The Forgotten Vocabulary of Strategy (Vol. 1 and Vol. 2) fills this gap. For the first time it reveals the ways of thinking, acting and teaching of successful Western and Asian strategists as well as Arab and Indian mirrors for princes and looks 2500 years into the past. In its essence, the book demystifies the 12 most renowned strategic approaches, distills them into a holistic system and thus enables the reader to develop a universally strategic mind through a scientifically founded process. STRATEGISTS THINK IN PATTERNS These patterns, also called Strategic Principles, are based on th...
Words of War
In Words of War, Eric Min pulls back the curtain on when, why, and how belligerents negotiate while fighting. Of all interstate conflicts across the last two centuries, two-thirds have ended through negotiated agreement. Wartime diplomacy is thus commonly seen as a costless and mechanical process solely designed to end fighting. But as Min argues, that wartime negotiations are not just peacemaking tools. They are in fact a highly strategic activity that can also help states manage, fight, and potentially win wars. To demonstrate that wartime talk does more than simply end hostilities, Min distinguishes between two kinds of negotiations: sincere and insincere. Whereas sincere negotiations are...
The Impact of Norms in International Society
This book addresses problems and puzzles associated with identifying international norms and the influence of these norms on the behavior of different states in international relations in a regional context. Arie M. Kacowicz's research traces several international norms of peace and security and examines their impact in Latin America between 1881 and 2001. He offers an original synthesis of positivist and constructivist approaches and links international relations, international law, international ethics, and Latin American diplomatic history. Kacowicz's primary argument is that a body of international norms of peace and security can be considered an independent and dynamic factor that affec...

Colombia
Colombia is the third-most populous country in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico. It has a free market economy with major commercial and investment ties to the United States. Transition from a highly regulated economy has been underway for more than a decade. Until 1997, Colombia had enjoyed a fairly stable economy. The first 5 years of liberalisation were characterised by high economic growth rates of between 4% and 5%. The Samper administration (1994-98) emphasised social welfare policies which targeted Colombia's lower income population. However, these reforms led to higher government spending which increased the fiscal deficit and public sector debt, the financing of which required ...
