PEACE CONFLICT & DEVELOPMENT, an open-access journal focusing on contemporary issues in conflict and peace studies

PEACE CONFLICT & DEVELOPMENT, an open-access journal focusing on
contemporary issues in conflict and peace studies edited by doctoral
students in Bradford University's Peace Studies Department, is please to
announce the publication of its latest issue, which can be viewed and
downloaded at
 http://www.peacestudiesjournal.org.uk/


PC&D 8 includes a guest essay on The War on Terror - An Assessment,
contributed by Paul Rogers, Professor of Peace Studies at the University of
Bradford, who argues:

'The July 7 bombings in London, and the failed attempts two weeks later, are instances of a wide range of incidents across the world since the 9/11 attacks and the vigorous US response that followed, initially in Afghanistan and more recently in Iraq. Although undertaken by local people, the London bombings do not differ greatly from other attacks, as many of the instances over the past four years have involved people from the countries concerned..
Taken together, they show a pattern of activity by al-Qaida and associates that is substantially greater in intensity than in the four years prior to the 9/11 attacks. At the very least they suggest that the policies being pursued by the Bush administration in its global war on terror are not having the anticipated effects...' more  http://www.peacestudiesjournal.org.uk/latest.asp



Rogers is an internationally-acknowledged authority on security issues. His
most recent book, Iraq and The War on Terror - Twelve Months of Insurgency
was published October 2005 by IB Taurus. He is also author of the recently
Oxford Research Group report, Iran: consequences of a war, February 2006.



PC&D 8 includes:



* Questioning the Concept of 'New Terrorism'. Alexander Spencer,
Munich Germany, continues the terrorist theme with a thought-provoking
article which asks if the characteristics of terrorism today merit the 'new'
label they are being given.



* The Northern Ireland Peace Process and the Nationalist Political
Parties: A Shift Towards Consociational Democracy. Paolo Moriso, New York
City USA, evaluates the role of the nationalist political parties in the
power-sharing process.



* The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia -
Towards a More Just Order? Andrea Birdsall, Edinburgh UK, considers the
tension between order and justice in the case of the ICTY.



* Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Kosovo: A Window of
Opportunity? With talks about to begin on the future status of Kosovo,
Hjortur Bragi Sverrisson, an Icelandic lawyer who has worked for the OSCE
mission in Kosovo, argues that a truth and reconciliation commission should
be woven into this process.



* Fighting Fear: Exploring the Dynamic Between Security Concerns and
Elite Manipulation in Internal Conflict. Joshua G Smith, Georgetown USA,
explores the relationship between insecurity and the ability of elites to
manipulate ethnic animosities for political purposes in the cases of
Bosnia-Herzegovina and Rwanda.

Wot, no DNS lookup?

I'd be interested to read this article, and indeed browse through the journal, but the domain peacestudiesjournal.org.uk is marked as suspended in the whois entry ( http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip=peacestudiesjournal.org.uk) and of course clicking on the link gives a 'can't find host' error. Is this a temporary problem? If not, any chance of posting a working URL? Ta.
