The televised images from the September 11 attacks exemplified how terrorists exploit the news media to get attention, spread fear and anxiety, and expose the weaknesses of the American superpower. September 11 was the culmination of decades of anti-American terrorism that, until the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, had not been felt on American soil. This book examines the response of the U.S. media, public, and decision makers to major acts of anti-American terrorism during the period from 1979-1994. Focusing on events abroad, such as the Iranian hostage crisis and the downing of Pan

"Osama bin Laden, Al Qaeda, and their associates wrote a new chapter in the annals of terrorism on September 11 with the most lethal acts of political violence to date. Although the magnitude of the actions was unprecedented, the role of mass media in this terrorist scheme was as central as ever. This in-depth look at mass-mediated" terrorism and political violence shows how terrorists exploit global media networks and information highways to carry news of their violence along with "propaganda of the deed." To what extent are the media advancing or obstructing the propaganda and policy goals o

This in-depth look at _mass-mediated_ terrorism and political violence shows how terrorists exploit global media networks and information highways to carry news of their violence along with _propaganda of the deed._ From U.S. cases like 9/11, Oklahoma City, and acts of ecoterrorists, to incidents abroad like Palestinian suicide bombings in Israel, European hostages held in the Philippines, and protests at major international summits, Nacos explores the use of political violence for the sake of publicity, media coverage of counterterrorism policies and its affect on political decisionmaking, an

This new first edition offers an accessible introduction to terrorism that includes coverage of both new terror in the post-Cold War world as well as historical acts of terror.  The author has been selective in her choice of topics, choosing to go into richer detail on fewer issues while nonetheless including coverage of topics that have been ignored by the competition, such as “Terrorist Propaganda and the Media” and “Terror and Hate in Cyberspace.”  In addition, the author adds the American context of terror to the standard international context offered by most texts.

Can German democracy endure the stresses of reunification, the challenges of global market forces, and the impact of Europe’s intensifying economic and political union? As they examine these difficulties and possible answers, Lewis Edinger and Brigitte Nacos underscore distinct differences and similarities in American and German politics. The first part of the book describes the development and features of German representative democracy: its roots in the Third Reich and the Weimar Republic, the national emphasis on cooperation and collective responsibility, and the role of the media in

Die Gesundheitsfürsorge im Strafvollzug weicht in vielerlei Hinsicht von der Allgemeinmedizin ab. Dies liegt vor allem an der antinomischen Spannung, die die Vollzugsmedizin aus der Einbettung des am Wohl des Patienten ausgerichteten Behandlungsauftrags in das juristische Netzwerk des freiheitsbegrenzenden Vollzugs bezieht. Eine beachtliche medizinische Aufgabenpluralität ergibt sich überdies zum einen aus der Maxime, angesichts der kosten- und personalintensiven sowie mit Risiken belasteten Inanspruchnahme extramuraler ärztlicher Dienste die intramurale Versorgung zu optimieren, z

This book analyzes--in terms of branching--the pervasive reorganization of Latin syntactic and morphological structures: in the development from Latin to French, a shift can be observed from the archaic, left-branching structures (which Latin inherited from Proto-Indo-European) to modern right-branching equivalents. Brigitte Bauer presents a detailed analysis of this development based on the theoretical discussion and definition of "branching" and "head." Subsequently she relates the diachronic shift to psycholinguistic evidence, arguing that the difficuly of LB complex structures as reflected
