Gender-based Explosions: The Nexus between Muslim Masculinities, Jihadist Islamism and Terrorism This publication argues that “gender” is a fundamental battleground on which Al Qaeda, the Taliban and their types have to be defeated. Issues of regressive radicalism, literalism, militancy and terrorism can only be solved through peoplecentred interventions. Therefore, governments and civil society should promote an alternative culture of growth, selfexpression and actualization for Muslim men. To achieve sustainable counterterrorism results, the author recommends underlining masculinities in Muslim contexts and expanding the scope of required interventions beyond those confined to Islam(ism). This book includes empirical data from a pilot study conducted on Pakistani Muslim masculinities.

The League of Nations: From Collective Security to Global Rearmament In the wake of the First World War, at the Peace Conference at Versailles, US President Wilson called for the creation of a League of Nations for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small nations alike. For the first time, conflicts between nations were a matter of global concern. Numerous key areas — social, economic and statistics, health, labour — were dealt with either directly by the League or indirectly by its specialized agencies. The League, the predecessor to the Untied Nations saw the creation of bodies that would be at the origin of the International Labour Organization, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the World Health Organization and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
