Spoils of War in the Arab East
Post-conflict scenarios are often proposed for Arab countries that have witnessed significant changes and civil wars. Yet the plans for reconciliation, transitional justice, and the return of the displaced often overlook the real conditions that make these recommendations impossible. This book provides a critical analysis of current post-conflict frameworks for Syria and Iraq. Drawing on empirical research, the book shows that reconciliation and reconstruction scenarios need to be considered alongside the realities on the ground. It argues that Iraq and Syria exist in a condition of 'conflict transformation' rather than of 'conflict termination', because the extreme changes that accompanied ...
Rebel Courts
Rebel Courts presents an argument that it is possible for non-state armed groups in situations of armed conflict to legally establish and operate a system of courts to administer justice. Neither the concept of the rule of law nor the general principle of state sovereignty stands in the way of framing an understanding of the rule of law adapted to the reality of rebel governance in the area of justice. Legal standards applicable to non-state armed groups in situations of international or non-international armed conflict, including international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and international criminal law, recognise their authority to regularly constitute or establish non-...
The Oxford Handbook of Late Colonial Insurgencies and Counter-Insurgencies
Beginning with Britain's 1948 declaration of a Malayan Emergency, and ending with the 1973 withdrawal of US ground troops from Vietnam, this Handbook connects ideas about contested decolonization and the insurgencies that inspired it with an analysis of patterns and singularities in the conflicts that precipitated the collapse of overseas empires.

Assessing Russia's Actions in Ukraine and Syria, 2014–2022
Russia's actions in Syria and Ukraine during 2014 and 2022 reveal more continuity than change, and more evolution than revolution, in warfare. These actions mostly reflect what the Kremlin perceives as changes in strategic and technological contexts, which impacts who fights wars and how wars are fought.
58 Facets
When you have been forcibly displaced from your home, the revolutionary dream of what should have happened ... stays alive as a utopian beacon of happiness that will (possibly) never come to pass. To be content and make a meaningful life from the ruins of that wrenching and uprooting is a small, everyday miracle that others easily overlook. 58 Facets is like a beautifully cut jewel, the kind Marika Sosnowski's grandfather would have bought, cut and sold after he arrived in Melbourne in 1947. If you hold it up to the light you will catch different stories in each of its many facets. You will have the table, the bezel, the star and the upper girdle, the lower girdle, the pavilion and the culet...
Meanjin 84.3 Spring 2025
How robust is Australian democracy? Fifty years ago, an elected government was abruptly dismissed by a governor-general whose reasons, methods and secret correspondences have never been made clear to the Australian public. This season we turn to the cultural and political impactsof 11 November 1975 that continue to shape contemporary Australia. Tom McIlroy speaks to the remaining living journalists who covered the event. Njamal man and Indigenous jurisprudence scholar Tyson Holloway-Clark looks at Pine Gap – the joint Australia-US military base placed on nuclear alert during Whitlam’s prime ministership without him or the Australian Government being informed – from a First Nations pers...
