Methodological Appendix --Bibliography --IndexHow do terrorist groups control their members? Do the tools groups use to monitor their operatives and enforce discipline create security vulnerabilities that governments can exploit? The Terrorist's Dilemma is the first book to systematically examine the great variation in how terrorist groups are structured. Employing a broad range of agency theory, historical case studies, and terrorists' own internal documents, Jacob Shapiro provocatively discusses the core managerial challenges that terrorists face and illustrates how their political goals interact with the operational environment to push them to organize in particular ways. Shapiro provides a historically informed explanation for why some groups have little hierarchy, while others resemble miniature firms, complete with line charts and written disciplinary codes. Looking at groups in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, he highlights how consistent and widespread the terrorist's dilemma--balancing the desire to maintain control with the need for secrecy--has been since the 1880's. Through an analysis of more than a hundred terrorist autobiographies he shows how prevalent bureaucracy has been, and he utilizes a cache of internal documents from al-Qa'ida in Iraq to outline why this deadly group used so much paperwork to handle its people. Tracing the strategic interaction between terrorist leaders and their operatives, Shapiro closes with a series of comparative case studies, indicating that the differences in how groups in the same conflict approach their dilemmas are consistent with an agency theory perspective. The Terrorist's Dilemma demonstrates the management constraints inherent to terrorist groups and sheds light on specific organizational details that can be exploited to more efficiently combat terrorist activity.TerrorismViolent crimesCross-cultural studiesOrganized crimeHistoryOrganizational behaviorElectronic books.Terrorism.Violent crimesOrganized crimeHistory.Organizational behavior.322.4206Shapiro Jacob N313534MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452667603321The terrorist's dilemma2456669UNINA05237nam 22005655 450 991029842970332120251113181234.03-319-75910-810.1007/978-3-319-75910-4(CKB)4100000004243671(DE-He213)978-3-319-75910-4(MiAaPQ)EBC5378116(PPN)227403819(EXLCZ)99410000000424367120180501d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierRoot Biology /edited by Bhoopander Giri, Ram Prasad, Ajit Varma1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (XI, 519 p. 73 illus., 53 illus. in color.)

Growth Response of Different Species and Provenances of Jujube Seedlings to Inoculation with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi.The book ‘Root Biology’ written by experts in the field, covers latest research on cellular, genetic, physiological and ecological developmental facets of root growth as well as the interaction of root with an array of microbes whether for the establishment of symbiosis, increasing plant growth or protecting plant from pathogens/attackers. Plant roots provide an excellent model to study physiological, developmental and metabolic processes at a system level. Root system architecture - an excellent creation of nature, is closely interconnected with the availability of soil nutrients. Several strategies including biotechnological interventions are gaining interest and importance for sustainable food production and enhanced resource acquisition. Such strategies have largely focused on root traits for efficient utilization of soil resources. The biotechnological application of root biology is expected to promote the production of food while maintaining ecologically and economically sustainable production systems. With a fortune of information on technical and experimental aspects useful in the laboratory, this extensive book is a valuable resource for researchers, academician and students in the broad field of microbiology, plant and fungal biology.Soil Biology,2196-4831 ;52AgricultureMicrobiologySoil scienceAgricultureMicrobiologySoil ScienceAgriculture.Microbiology.Soil science.Agriculture.Microbiology.Soil Science.630Giri Bhoopanderedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPrasad Ramedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtVarma Ajitedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910298429703321Root Biology2503187UNINA
