Security Guarantees - From Munich to NATO Budapest to Ukraine

Natalie G. Turner

Sinopse

What does it mean to promise security in a world defined by shifting alliances, broken treaties, and fragile trust? Security Guarantees: From Munich to NATO, Budapest to Ukraine examines one of the most consequential but misunderstood pillars of international relations: the pledge to defend others.
 
From the failure of appeasement at Munich and the birth of NATO’s Article 5, to the Cold War’s rival pacts and the gamble of Ukraine giving up its nuclear arsenal under the Budapest Memorandum, this book traces how security guarantees have shaped the modern world. It highlights the ambitions, contradictions, and limits of these commitments, showing how they reflect not just military strategy but also political will, economic interdependence, and moral responsibility.
 
Drawing on history, diplomacy, and current events, Natalie G. Turner presents a critical analysis of why some guarantees endure while others collapse, and why Ukraine today stands at the crossroads of 21st-century security. Readers will gain not only a deeper understanding of the past but also insight into the uncertain future of international promises in an increasingly fractured world.
 
Thoughtful, well-researched, and timely, this book is essential for anyone seeking to understand the fragile balance between trust and power in global affairs.

Are there Civilizations that have achieved interstellar communication, and have established a network of linked societies throughout our galaxy?

Secession and State Creation -...

Mikulas Fabry, James Ker-Lindsay

What makes a state? This question has attracted more and more attention in recent years with Catalan's illegal vote for independence from Spain and Palestine's ongoing search for international recognition. And while Scotland chose to remain with the United Kingdom, discussions of independence have only continued as the ramifications of the Brexit vote begin to set in. Kosovo, South Sudan, and the situation in Ukraine—each in its way reveals the perils of creating a nation separate from neighbors who have dominated it. 
 
 
 
As James Ker-Lindsay and Mikulas Fabry show in this new addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, the road to statehood never did run smooth. Declaring independence is only the first step; gaining both local and global acceptance is necessary before a state can become truly independent. The prospect of losing territory is usually not welcomed by the parent state. Beyond this immediate conflict, the international community often refuses to accept new states without proof of defined territory, a settled population, and effective government, which frequently translates to a democratic one with demonstrated respect for human rights. Covering the legal, political, and practical issues of secession and state creation, Ker-Lindsay and Fabry provide a sure-footed guide to a complex topic.

Field Rules

Carla Luna

What happens in the field, stays in the field. Or does it? 
After the disastrous way her first archaeological dig ended, graduate student Olivia Sanchez abandoned her dreams of working in the field. Now, thanks to a last-minute teaching opportunity in Cyprus, she’ll get another chance to explore ancient history firsthand. This time, failure isn’t an option. 
But digging up the past takes on a whole new meaning when she’s forced to team up with her ex, shovel bum Rick Langston. 
For years, Rick has proven his archaeological skills all over the Mediterranean. But with no graduate degree—and a habit of attracting trouble—his reputation could use a little rehab. All he has to do is play by the rules while he’s in Cyprus and he’ll secure a coveted recommendation for his next job. Until Olivia resurfaces like a cursed relic from the past. 
Given that their last fling nearly led to their academic ruin, Olivia and Rick can’t afford to repeat their past mistakes. But as they work together under the scorching Mediterranean sun, the heat between them proves impossible to ignore.
