Pre- and post-harvest aflatoxin contamination and management strategies of Aspergillus spoilage in East African Community maize
Globally, maize (Zea mays L.) is deemed an important cereal that serves as a staple food and feed for humans and animals, respectively. Across the East African Community, maize is the staple food responsible for providing over one-third of calories in diets. Ideally, stored maize functions as man-made grain ecosystems, with nutritive quality changes influenced predominantly by chemical, biological, and physical factors. Food spoilage and fungal c…
Does the U.S. No-Concessions Policy Deter Kidnappings of Americans?
This paper looks at the history of kidnapping over the past 45 years to examine whether the U.S. policy of not paying ransom to terrorists holding Americans hostage is an effective deterrent. Earlier research found little empirical evidence to support the assertion. More-recent research also casts doubt on the deterrence value, although one study says that U.S. ransom payments would have prompted more kidnappings.

Plots and Rumors
The events surrounding the six février 1934 riots were accompanied by intense rumor and speculation, with political rivals accusing each other of conspiracy and subversion at every turn. Following suit, historians have also been preoccupied with the mechanics of these conspiracy theories, seeing them as the acid test of whether the regime was in any kind of danger. On this basis most scholars have concluded that there was no “plot,” no attempted …
Would-Be Warriors
Between 9/11 and the end of 2009, 46 publicly reported cases of domestic radicalization and recruitment to jihadist terrorism occurred in the United States, 13 of them in 2009. Most of the would be jihadists recruited themselves into the terrorist role, assisting foreign terrorist organizations, joining jihad fronts abroad, and plotting attacks. The terrorist threat has pushed law enforcement toward prevention rather than post-event apprehension
The Lessons of Mumbai
This study of the Mumbai terrorist attack of November 2008 is part of the RAND Corporation Occasional Papers series. The research for this report was completed in December 2008 and updated as of January 9, 2009. Much of the information available for this necessarily preliminary analysis comes from reporting by the news media, which in such circumstances is often inaccurate, and from information provided by well-placed Indian and U.S. Government s…

The Right‐Wing Leagues and Electoral Politics in Interwar France
The rise of the right‐wing leagues was the most striking symptom of the deep political crisis of the French Third Republic in the 1930s. The Croix de Feu was the most successful of these movements, and when it became a political party following the Popular Front government's ban on the leagues in 1936, it achieved a spectacular mass membership of around one million. French historians have, however, been reluctant to see these developments as anal…
Unconquerable Nation
The author presents a clear-sighted and sobering analysis of where we are today in the struggle against terrorism. Jenkins, an internationally renowned authority on terrorism, distills the jihadists’ operational code and outlines a pragmatic but principled approach to defeating the terrorist enterprise. We need to build upon our traditions of determination and self-reliance, he argues, and above all, preserve our commitment to American values
The Six Fevrier 1934 and the 'Survival' of the French Republic
The Paris riots of the six février 1934 are remembered chiefly as the event that provided the initial spark and the eventual rationale for the anti-fascist Popular Front. However, most French historians have tended to downplay the importance of the riots themselves, arguing that the Republic was not under serious threat, and that the Left at the time greatly exaggerated the danger. Indeed, the fact that the regime ‘survived’ these events has ofte…
Irish Nationalism and the British State
Drawing on an immense body of literature and research, Brian Jenkins analyses the forces that shaped mid-nineteenth century Irish nationalism in Ireland and North America as well as the role of the Roman Catholic Church. He outlines the relationship between newly arrived Irish Catholic immigrants and their hosts and the pivotal role of the church in maintaining a sense of exile, particularly among those who had fled the famine. Jenkins also explo…
A System Approach to Deterring and Influencing Terrorists
Counterterrorism efforts in the United States focus largely on a combination of offensive actions against terrorists abroad and defense of the U.S. homeland and U.S. and allied interests worldwide. This paper provides a framework for conceiving another necessary component of the struggle, the influence component. Classic deterrence is but one influence among many. This paper recommends approaching the issue as a “system problem” in which the many…
Nation and Identity in Contemporary Europe
The resilience of nationalism in contemporary Europe may seem paradoxical at a time when the nation state is widely seen as being 'in decline'. The contributors of this book see the resurgence of nationalism as symptomatic of the quest for identity and meaning in the complex modern world. Challenged from above by the supranational imperatives of globalism and from below by the complex pluralism of modern societies, the nation state, in the absenc…

Statements about Terrorism
Terrorism has proved to be a far more serious problem than we anticipated 10 or 12 years ago. After more than a decade of terrorism to observe and nearly 10 years of research on the topic, we can say few things for certain. One is that terrorism has increased in volume and severity, although despite the increasing bloodshed, terrorists still operate within self-imposed constraints. Although terrorism is a widespread phenomenon, it affects the wor…

International cooperation in locating and recovering stolen nuclear materials
With the expansion of terrorist activities in the last fifteen years there has been increasing concern that groups might be able to steal nuclear materials and use nuclear weapons for terrorist purposes. The last fifteen years have also seen growing criminal activity in the nuclear domain including thefts of nuclear material, attacks on nuclear facilities, and threats against American cities, although these latter threats turned out to be hoaxes.…
The Terrorist Mindset and Terrorist Decisionmaking
The following paper identifies two areas of ignorance in the current study of the phenomenon of terrorism: how terrorists think (is there such a thing as a terrorist mind?) and how terrorists groups make their decisions. The organization, financing weaponry, and tactics of terrorist groups have been studied. We have acquired a great deal of what might be called 'order of battle' information about terrorist groups. In some cases, a sizable portion…
Research note
Repeatedly, during the last few years, small groups of extremists have demonstrated that by using terrorist tactics they can achieve disproportionate effects. They attract worldwide attention to themselves and their causes; they arouse worldwide alarm, and can create international incidents that national governments are compelled to deal with, often before a worldwide audience. To protect against their attacks or to respond to crisis situations t…

Era of Emancipation
The conduct of the central government was often reactive rather than deliberate. While its lack of a coherent policy was not remarkable, given the period under consideration, the government's failure to develop such a policy was disastrous in dealing with the fundamental issue of Catholic emancipation. The final surrender of Peel and Wellington was bitter and the 1829 Catholic relief act contained insults to Irish Catholics. The nature of the act…
