MILITARY INTERVENTIONS IN CIVIL WARSTHE ROLE OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS AND ARMS TRADE
₨ 35,290This book examines the motivations of military interventions in civil wars, with a focus on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) and the arms trade.
The book assumes a state-centric view of international relations, whereby states remain the dominant actors on the world stage. It breaks away from the conventional wisdom that military interventions for economic interests are a product of domestic corporate lobbying and instead argues that states intervene to protect (but not advance) existing corporate investments for national strategic interests. The work introduces new concepts of military interventions – proxy interventions and indirect interventions – which are determined by arms trade relationships between the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and recipient countries, and utilizes insights from principal-agent theory, whereby the permanent members of the UNSC delegate military interventions in civil wars to other countries. The book concludes by examining the transformative effect of FDI on the willingness of a state to intervene militarily in a civil war, focusing on the case of China in Sub-Saharan Africa. Provided that the current positive trends in FDI and arms trade persist, we are likely to see more and not fewer military interventions in the future.
This book will be of much interest to students of civil wars, military interventions, security studies and International Relations.

BEYOND SHOCK AND AWE
₨ 6,940Media commentator Eric Haney-a founding member of Delta Force and author of Inside Delta Force-along with other noted military analysts and award-nominated editor Brian M. Thomsen, examines how our military must evolve to face changing times, technology, and adversaries. From limited wars to possible large scale invasions of Syria or Iran-or a major military stand-down with North Korea-Beyond Shock and Awe is a fresh, provocative look at America’s army of the future.
Articles include the work by Harlan K. Ullman and James P. Wade, Jr., which first used the term “shock and awe;” Kevin Dockery on the weapons of future wars; Professor William Forstchen on how precision guided weaponry will eliminate “problem” individuals before they can start a war; Eugene Sullivan on such legal issues as pre-emptive attacks and military tribunals; Paul A. Thomsen on integrating military intelligence into strategic warfare; William Terdoslavich on how America’s swift victory in the Iraq War gave way to a bloody stalemate; John Heifers on the importance of cultural knowledge in winning wars and building alliances; and Eric Haney on the many ways in which rapid dominance of an adversary can be gained through shock and awe.

WINNING MODERN WARS
₨ 1,720General Wesley K. Clark’s Winning Modern Wars: Iraq, Terrorism and the American Empire explains in clear, riveting, revelatory terms how the war in Iraq was waged, when the plans for the war were made, and exactly how the invasion succeeded while the occupation unraveled. These successes, largely attributable to America’s stunning military built and maintained over the last several administrations, and failures, almost wholly a result of poor administration planning and errors, have delivered to Iraqis – and to Americans – the dangerous, unstable Iraq or today.

PAKISTAN
₨ 1,980‘A well – written and authoritative account from someone who knows Pakistani politics from the inside’.
-Peter Bergen, CNN Terrorism Analyst and author of the bestselling Holy War Inc; Inside the Secret World of Osama Bin Laden‘We are in Husain Haqqani’s debt for providing an authoritative account of the linkages between Pakistan’s powerful Islamists and its professional army. He conclusively demonstrates that these ties are long-standing, complex and very troubling. This brilliantly researched and written book should be required reading for anyone who wishes to understand this increasingly important state’.
-Stephen p. Cohen, Brookings Institution,
Author of The Idea of Pakistan and the Pakistan ArmyHusain Haqqani’s Pakistan: Between Mosque and Military analyzes the origins of the relationships between Islamism groups and Pakistan’s military, and explores Pakistan’s quest for identity and security. Tracing how Pakistan’s military has sought U.S. support by making itself useful for concerns of the moment – while continuing to strengthen the mosque – military alliance within the country – Haqqani offers an alternative view of political developments in Pakistan since the country’s independence in 1947.
