The half-decade since the sixth edition of this classic textbook appeared has seen enormous changes in the international arena, perhaps most notably a move away from multilateral approaches to solving global problems – climate change, the Covid pandemic, conflict-driven migration, and more. The impact of those changes, and possible paths to collaborative problem solving, are at the centre of this fully revised and updated edition. The material has been successfully designed for readers with little or no prior knowledge of the topics covered.

Which raises the question: how do they procure and protect funds to finance their operations? In Illicit Money, Jessica Davis thoroughly answers that question. Davis explores the full spectrum of terrorist finance, drawing on extensive case studies to dissect how individuals, cells, and organizations raise and manage, as well as hide, funds.

What leads a democratic government to use military force to counter a domestic or external threat? How does it legitimize this mobilization to its citizenry? And what is the significance for civilian control of the military? The authors of Mobilizing Force draws on case studies from around the world to systematically examine these critical questions, exploring the interrelationships among security threats, the militarization of security policy, and democratic accountability.
