Sommario/riassunto

Some of the most brutal and long-lasting civil wars of our time involve the rapid formation and disintegration of alliances among warring groups, as well as fractionalization within them. It would be natural to suppose that warring groups form alliances based on shared identity



considerations - such as Christian groups allying with Christian groups - but this is not what we see. Two groups that identify themselves as bitter foes one day, on the basis of some identity narrative, might be allies the next day and vice versa. Nor is any group, however homogeneous, safe from internal fractionalization. Rather, looking closely at the civil wars in Afghanistan and Bosnia and testing against the broader universe of fifty-three cases of multiparty civil wars, Fotini Christia finds that the relative power distribution between and within various warring groups is the primary driving force behind alliance formation, alliance changes, group splits and internal group takeovers.

Sommario/riassunto

This book delves into the oversight and enforcement mechanisms preceding industrial accidents, particularly in companies handling hazardous substances. The study examines the effectiveness of the Besluit risico’s zware ongevallen 2015 (Brzo 2015), aimed at enhancing safety by regulating systems that prevent major accidents. It highlights challenges faced by inspectors, including the discrepancy between documented procedures and operational realities, and the detection of potential risks. The book emphasizes the importance of inspector expertise and the dynamic nature of the chemical industry, advocating for flexible regulatory approaches. It is intended for policymakers, regulatory bodies, and industry professionals interested in regulatory compliance and risk management.
