The United States and Torture
Torture has been a topic of national discussion ever since it was revealed that “enhanced interrogation techniques” had been authorized as part of the war on terror. The United States and Torture provides us with a larger lens through which to view America's policy of torture, one that dissects America's long relationship with interrogation and torture, which roots back to the 1950s and has been applied, mostly in secret, to “enemies,” ever since. The United States and Torture opens with a compelling preface by Sister Dianna Ortiz, who describes the unimaginable treatment she endured in Guatemala in 1987 at the hands of the the Guatemalan government, which was supported by the United States. Following Ortiz's preface, an interdisciplinary panel of experts offers one of the most comprehensive examinations of torture to date, beginning with the Cold War era and ending with today's debate over accountability for torture.

Hot Spot: North America and Europe
Even in the relatively serene world of North America and Western Europe, numerous conflicts with the propensity for sustained political violence are carried out by domestic groups with alarming regularity.

Coverage is divided into three regions—the established democracies of the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe; the democratizing countries of post-communist Europe; and the more volatile region encompassing Russia, the Balkans, the Causasus, and Post-Soviet Eastern Europe—for a greater understanding of geographic interrelationships. This comprehensive volume is a first-stop reference source for the most significant political, cultural, and economic conflicts in North America and Europe today.

Philippine Civil Society and International Solidarity Partners
"The Buyanihan International Solidarity Conference 2001 is a distinct and courageous undertaking in two ways. It brought together an array of persons and organizations which once identified themselves with the unitary national democratic movement and its Philippine International Solidarity Network. These array of forces now adhere to divergent political perspectives, but still consistently work to advance the Filipino people's struggle for sovreignty , social justice, genuine development and prosperity. They are all willing to partake in the complex discourses related to state-corporate globalization, the rise of US-led global militarism in Asia-Pacific, political and economic developments i...
