When governments justify the necessity to segregate and/or isolate terrorist inmates from mainstream prisoners, they commonly raise concerns about their prisons becoming schools for terrorism. Yet, these concerns are often based on limited information about prisoner radicalization, potentially resulting in the mismanagement (both financially and psychologically) of terrorist inmates in many countries. This article challenges contemporary research on prison radicalization and recruitment by highlighting several factors that may hamper these activities to demonstrate why some prison regimes and their programmes for housing terrorist inmates face a greater risk than others. In contrast to other studies, this article concludes that the radicalization and recruitment of mainstream prisoners by terrorist inmates under certain prison conditions is not necessarily a given outcome.

The complexities of climate science, of estimates of global greenhouse gas emissions and of their implications for climate change have not prevented widespread acceptance that global warming is a reality and its consequences potentially catastrophic for our planet and its peoples. But the convoluted processes of international negotiations and the political and economic context of their implementation mean that few have any confidence that national undertakings and international targets will be met. COP26 was a watershed, revealing the lack of progress on the most critical challenge of our time, the hypocrisy and double-speak of capitalist states and corporations, and the co-option of some conservation organisations through a deceptively 'green' narrative. A critical, materialist, Marxist approach can break through the greenwash of official discourse, reveal the need for systemic change and potentially serve as a focus for growing public awareness and environmental activism.

RENFREY CLARKE'S INTERVIEW WITH SERGEI FONICHOV OF THE RUSSIAN ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT ILLUSTRATES THE CHALLENGES AND OBSTACLES FACING A POLITICAL FORMATION IN CONTEMPORARY RUSSIA OPERATING OUTSIDE THE FRAMEWORK OF ELECTORAL POLITICS. AUTONOMY IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO THE RUSSIAN GREENS, WHO HAVE HAD SOME SMALL SUCCESSES BUT WHO FIND THEMSELVES FIGHTING AN UP-HILL BATTLE AGAINST THE ENTRENCHED INTERESTS OF THE NUCLEAR AND MILITARY ESTABLISHMENTS. FONICHOV ARGUES THAT SOME ORGANIZATIONS ARE LOOKING FOR HELP FROM GREENS IN THE WEST, OTHERS ARE COLLABORATING WITH THE GOVERNMENT, AND STILL OTHERS WITH PRIVATE FIRMS. A FEW GROUPS ARE EXISTING ON ENTHUSIASM ALONE, WITHOUT SUBSIDIES, BUT THEY ARE NOT GROWING.

THIS ARTICLE IS ONE OF A COLLECTION OF ARTICLES WHICH APPEARED AT THE END OF 1992 AND IN THE EARLY MONTHS OF 1993, BUT WHICH HAVE LOST NONE OF THEIR POLITICAL IMPORTANCE AND RELEVANCE. THE ARTICLE ILLUMINATES THE ENORMOUSLY COMPLEX ISSUES FACING THE REBORN RUSSIAN CP BUT MORE PARTICULARLY SHEDS LIGHT ON THE PROBLEMS OF TACTICS AND STRATEGY WITH WHICH OTHER RECENTLY FOUNDED LEFT PARTIES HAVE TO DEAL IN DEFINING THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CPRF. IT CONCLUDES THAT THE DEMOCRATIC LEFT IN RUSSIA NOW FACES THE TASK OF FINDING WAYS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE CPRF, ON BOTH A LEADERSHIP AND MEMBERSHIP LEVEL, IN RESISTING THE NOMENKLATURA-CAPITALIST ONSLAUGHT AND PREVENTING FURTHER IMPROVERISHMENT OF THE WORKING CLASS.

This paper considers Baumol‐type, revenue‐maximising firms in an explicit oligopoly framework. It shows, somewhat surprisingly, that, in contrast to the profit‐maximising case, an increase in firm numbers leads to an increase in market price in revenue‐maximising equilibrium.

Current prison management models strictly prohibit inmates from assisting with prison administration or governance. This is feasible in developed countries where governments can provide adequate resources, security, and personnel. It is not, however, realistic in developing countries like the Philippines, which is characterized by poverty, corruption, and underresourcing of correctional facilities. In such circumstances, inmate leaders tend to share governance with prison administrators. Despite occurring out of necessity, not by design, this system normalizes social conditions within a prison. This article examines the ramifications of such a shared governance model for correctional management by means of ethnographic research.
