Deconstructing Political Orthodoxies on Insurgent and Terrorist Sanctuaries 1
Critics of the War on Terror have pointed to the futility of waging war on a tactic. Its emphasis on denying “sanctuary” and “safe havens” to terrorists, however, has also been informed by a political discourse that privileges the static, physical characteristics of refuge and the significance of state and territory in its provision. Locational issues have been exceptionally problematic, suggesting there is a need for deeper and more textured und…
Protected Status, Sacred Sites, Black Holes and Human Agents
The rhetoric following 11 September 2001 was full of talk of operations and battles that would be fought out of the public view, in an effort to prepare voting publics for a conflict of indeterminate scope, duration, and indeed, of place. Locational issues were quickly made central to the new war. ‘Sanctuaries’, ‘safe havens’, ‘operating environments’, ‘enabling environments’: these were the buzzwords for the long war. They were not new terms of …

Denial-of-Resource Operations and NPFL Radio Dominance in the Liberian Civil War
There has been limited scholarly analysis of former Liberian President Charles Taylor's manipulation of radio broadcasting, or of the extensive use of propaganda by his National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) during the country's enormously destructive 1990–97 war. Scholars and writers of the conflict have noted these issues in passing, but they have presumed NPFL control over nation-wide mass media and communications, without explaining the c…
Terrorist Sanctuaries and Bosnia-Herzegovina
This article argues that a model of terrorism and terrorist sanctuaries rooted in post-9/11 strategic thought and the Global War on Terror is inadequate to the study of terrorism in Bosnia and the Balkans. It addresses a series of conventional assumptions regarding Bosnia-Herzegovina's status as a putative terrorist sanctuary, based on a reading of post-war ethnic politics and political architecture. This assessment turns on the basic notion that…
The teaching of psychology in the contemporary university
Current Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) imperatives for generic skills and quality constitute a challenge for university teaching. There is an increasing recognition in higher education that this challenge cannot be adequately addressed by a top-down approach but requires bottom-up integration of generic skills in curricula. Psychology has long claimed that the very nature of our discipline provides our graduates with a wealt…
The media as an investigative resource in murder enquiries
This article examines how the police seek to use the media in an instrumental fashion, as an investigative resource in murder enquiries. The majority of murders are comparatively easy for the police to solve. There are however, a small number of particularly serious and difficult to solve murders and it is during investigations into these types of crime that the police may employ a range of tactics to use the media as part of their wider investig…
