Leading Issues in Information Warfare and Security Research
As virtually every aspect of society becomes increasingly dependent on information and communications technology, so our vulnerability to attacks on this technology increases. This is a major theme of this collection of leading edge research papers. At the same time there is another side to this issue, which is if the technology can be used against society by the purveyors of malware etc., then technology may also be used positively in the pursuit of society’s objectives. Specific topics in the collection include Cryptography and Steganography, Cyber Antagonism, Information Sharing Between Government and Industry as a Weapon, Terrorist Use of the Internet, War and Ethics in Cyberspace to name just a few. The papers in this book take a wide ranging look at the more important issues surrounding the use of information and communication technology as it applies to the security of vital systems that can have a major impact on the functionality of our society. This book includes leading contributions to research in this field from 9 different countries and an introduction to the subject by Professor Julie Ryan from George Washington University in the USA.
Development Policies of Central and Eastern European States
The states from Central and Eastern Europe that joined the EU in 2004 and 2007 provide a fascinating series of case studies for scholars interested in politics, IR and development studies. The interest comes from the fact that never before had so many recipients of EU aid joined the Union and taken on the commitment to become aid donors.

NATO in the Cold War and After
This book examines episodes in NATO’s history from the founding of the North Atlantic Alliance in 1949 to its transition to the post-Cold War order in the 1990s, with an eye to better understanding its present and its future. NATO’s history, now running over seventy years, can no longer be framed in Cold War terms alone. Nor can the organization be understood fully as a post-Cold War institution. Today’s NATO is a product of both these eras. This edited volume offers a reconsideration of NATO’s place in history, looking both at how the alliance coped with the Cold War and how it managed its difficult transition to the post-Cold War international order. Contributors recount how NATO c...
East Central European Foreign Policy Identity in Perspective

Les pays baltes en quête de sécurité
Les pays baltes (Estonie, Lettonie et Lituanie), après leur brutale incorporation à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, à l'Union soviétique, ont regagné, à un moment où cette dernière agonisait, leur indépendance et leur souveraineté. Depuis, en croisant le fer régulièrement avec une Russie hostile à leur diplomatie atlantique tous azimuts et en soutenant, tout aussi fréquemment, les pays occidentaux, et en premier lieu les Etats-Unis, ils ont voulu démontrer que leur objectif était de quitter, une fois pour toutes, l'orbite russe tout en garantissant leur positionnement, à perpétuelle demeure, à l'Ouest. Cette stratégie, néanmoins, ne fut pas exempte d'ambiguïtés. ...
