Synopsis

“Land Mines” explores the multifaceted history and impact of these weapons, examining their military utility alongside their devastating humanitarian consequences. Land mines, initially intended for territorial defense and hindering enemy advances, have become a global threat, disproportionately affecting civilian populations long after conflicts subside. The book highlights the ethical dilemmas inherent in their deployment and the ongoing international efforts, such as the Ottawa Treaty, aimed at their eradication.

 
The book meticulously traces the evolution of land mine technology and strategy, analyzing their use in major conflicts through detailed case studies. It addresses the immense challenges of post-conflict mine clearance and victim assistance, while also examining the debates around anti-personnel versus anti-tank mines. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of how these weapons have shaped military history, politics, and humanitarian issues, underscored by the tragic statistics of casualties and socio-economic disruption.

 
Progressing chronologically, the book utilizes military archives, humanitarian reports, and legal documents to offer a nuanced perspective. It connects land mine usage to broader themes within international law, human rights, and development studies, enriching its analysis and appealing to a diverse audience.

 
The book culminates by assessing the future of landmine policy and the pursuit of a mine-free world, making it a valuable resource for policymakers and those interested in military strategy.

    After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia under Yeltsin and Putin implemented a political system of "imitation democracy," marked by "a huge disparity between formal constitutional principles and the reality of authoritarian rule." How did this system take shape, how else might it have developed, and what are the prospects for re-envisioning it more democratically in the future? 
     
     
     
    These questions animate Dmitrii Furman's Imitation Democracy, a welcome antidote to books that blandly decry Putin as an omnipotent dictator, without considering his platforms, constituencies, and sources of power. With extensive public opinion polling drawn from throughout the late- and post-Soviet period, Furman offers a definitive account of the formation of the modern Russian political system, casting it into powerful relief through comparisons with other post-Soviet states. 
     
     
     
    Peopled with grey technocrats, warring oligarchs, patriots, and provocateurs, Furman's narrative details the struggles among partisan factions, and the waves of public sentiment, that shaped modern Russia's political landscape, culminating in Putin's third presidential term, which resolves the contradiction between the "form" and "content" of imitation democracy, "the formal dependence of power on elections and the actual dependence of elections on power."
