"The 'War on Terror' has politicized foreign aid in a way never before seen, with often devastating consequences. Aid workers are being killed in unprecedented numbers, and civilians in war-torn countries abandoned to their fate. From the battlefield in Afghanistan to the frontier refugee camps in Pakistan, the ravaged streets of Mogadishu to the tense flashpoint of the Turkey-Syria border, Peter Gill travels to some of the most conflict-stricken places on earth to reveal the new relationship between aid agencies and western security. While some agencies have clung to their neutrality, he finds others risking their impartiality in their pursuit of official funding. In a world where the advance of Islamic State constitutes the gravest affront to humanitarian practice and principle faced in decades, Gill poses the crucial question--can Western nations go to war in a country and aid it at the same time?"--

Numerous allegations of abuse of power have been made against the domestic security intelligence agencies in the United Kingdom such as police special branches and MI5. These include the improper surveillance of trade unionists and peace activists, campaigns of mis-information against elected politicians and even the elimination' of people believed to be engaged in political violence. Drawing on extensive foreign material and making use of the social science concepts of information, power and law, this book develops a framework for the comparative analysis of these agencies

With 20 million dead and another 40 million infected, AIDS is the world's worst epidemic, but the catastrophe could have been prevented. This book shows how millions could have been saved and many millions more infections could have been prevented if the world had responded properly to the crisis. Peter Gill reveals how politicians and religious leaders in both the rich and poor worlds have failed in their duty to protect their people from the disease. Simple messages about safe sex and condoms have been consistently downplayed out of embarrassment or misplaced moral fervour. Just as the wor

Disturbing allegations of abuse of power have been made against the domestic security intelligence agencies in the UK - police special branches and M15. These include improper surveillance, campaigns of disinformation, even the elimination of people believed to be engaged in political violence. Drawing upon extensive foreign material and making use of the social science concepts of information, power and law, this book develops a framework for the comparative analysis of security intelligence which is then applied to the UK agencies. This discussion includes the ambiguous nature of their mandate regarding 'national security'; the ways in which the agencies penetrate society and gather information; the extent to which they are controlled by ministers; and how their activities might be overseen by outside political bodies, and by citizens in general. The book concludes that a thorough investigation is needed into the allegations that have been made, together with proposals for a more democratic system.
