In Nigeria, armed banditry has emerged as a contemporary threat to national security. Commentators and scholars have repeatedly pointed to overlapping foci such as herders-farmers' conflicts, warlordism, ungoverned spaces, transnational criminal networks, and the proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) from Libya as dynamics influencing the current security dilemma in Nigeria. The emergence of armed banditry has triggered the prevalence of everyday killings, kidnapping for ransom, property destruction, and cattle rustling. However, the group's origin remains obscure, while its objectives and organizational structure are fuzzy. This book aims to unravel the evolution, dynamics, and trajectories of armed banditry in Nigeria. As it explores the activities of armed banditry in Nigeria, the debate will focus on its historical context, socio-economic consequences, transnational dimensions, and the response to armed banditry in Nigeria. Furthermore, the book will explore whether the scourge of armed banditry represents a new terrorist organization with a distinct ideological orientation (if at all) or another non-state armed group creating and profiting from a criminal economy through the reign of terror. In response to the increasing concern for the criminal activities of armed banditry in Nigeria, the book anticipates unpacking its emerging trends and operational nomenclature.

"Applying realist constructivist theory, this innovative book investigates the migration-development nexus in the European Union's approach to cooperation with its external partner countries. It explores the reasons why action in this field appears to be irrational and counterproductive and surveys contemporary political dialogues and funding. Combining migration and development policy research, it examines policies and practices on both an international and domestic level. Chapters cover major trends in crisis management and long-term impacts funding between 1985 and 2020, outlining a clear tendency for the EU to bring together ideas, identities and knowledge with self-interest and strategic action. The author introduces two novel concepts: leveraged statecraft and migration statecraft, which amalgamate theoretical traditions in order to construct recognition and partnerships. Case studies analysed in this book include the African, Caribbean and Pacific group of states; the African Union; the European Neighbourhood; the Rabat, Budapest, and Prague processes; and bilateral mobility partnerships. Balancing theory and practice, this is an indispensable read for scholars of European politics and policy, international relations, international political economy, migration, and development studies. It is also highly beneficial to policymakers in the EU as well as external cooperation specialists"--

Im frühen Bismarckreich vollzog sich eine der großen Reformphasen in der neueren deutschen Geschichte, an deren inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung die Nationalliberalen an der Seite des Reichskanzlers großen Anteil hatten. Ihre Wirkungen und Ergebnisse reichen bis in die heutige Zeit. Getragen wurde das liberale Modernisierungsprogramm von einem Sprach- und Politikstil, einem 'politischen Code', der von weiten Teilen des Bürgertums gelesen und verstanden werden konnte. Das verschaffte den Liberalen die Deutungshoheit in den anstehenden Fragen zur Lösung der großen Herausforderungen in Politik, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft nach der Reichsgründung. Doch warum verlor das vielversprechende Konzept der Erneuerung schon keine zehn Jahre später seine Überzeugungskraft? Die vorliegende Studie untersucht auf einem genau markierten Beobachtungsfeld, wie Zukunftsversprechen eine Partei großmachen können, wie schnell aber auch der Einfluss auf Deutungshoheit in der Politik verloren gehen kann."Liberal Thinking. The Struggle for Sovereignty of Interpretation. The Political Style of National Liberalists in the Early Bismarckian Empire": The early Bismarckian era saw one of the great reform phases in modern German history, in which the National Liberals played a major role. The liberal modernization program was supported by a political style that appealed to large sections of the mid-dle classes, but quickly lost its persuasive power. The study examines how promises for the future can make a party great, but also how quickly the influence on interpre-tative sovereignty in politics can be lost

Der zweite Band der Trilogie zur Geschichte der Antifa-Bewegung in Deutschland setzt im Jahr 2010 ein. Befeuert durch PEGIDA und AfD löste die sogenannte 'Flüchtlingskrise' eine neue rechtsradikale Welle aus. Während es in einem zähem Ringen gelang, die bundesweiten Straßenproteste einzudämmen, etablierte sich mit der AfD eine relevante parlamentarische Vertretung – ein in der BRD bislang nicht gekannter Vorgang. Zu einem weiteren relevanten Politikfeld entwickelten sich die Auseinandersetzungen um Rechtsrock-Konzerte und die jährlichen Rudolf-Heß-Gedenkmärschen der Neonazis. Als ehemalige Hitler-Stellvertreter, steht Heß für die direkte Verbindung zum historischen Nationalsozialismus. Eine Verbindung, die auch den Übergang zur Reichsbürgerbewegung markiert, deren schießwütige Anhänger zeigeten, dass sie nicht als harmlose Spinner abgetan werden können. Auch der Rechtsterrorismus blieb in der Bundesrepublik ein Faktor. Zumindest bei den Terroranschlägen in Halle und Hanau spielten für die Täter Antifeminismus und Verschwörungsspinnereien eine Rolle. Deren Ursprung und Bedeutung für die rechtsradikale Szene wird in diesem Buch ebenfalls besprochen. Der Autor will aber nicht nur dokumentieren, sondern auch Ideen und Argumente für die aktuelle politische Auseinandersetzung liefern. Ein Exkurs zum Islamismus schließt deshalb diesen Band ab.
