Ingen forfatter forstår som Dan Brown at fastholde læseren til sidste side er vendt. En hæsblæsende krimi med et intelligent og nervepirrende plot. National Security Agency - USA’s mest magtfulde efterretningsagentur, også kaldet NSA - er i besiddelse af supercomputere, som kan bryde selv de bedst krypterede koder. Men en dag dukker en kode op, som sætter NSA’s kodebrydere ud af spillet - og så begynder det at blive farligt.

Bogen samler analyser af, hvordan Nepals sikkerhedsbillede ændrer sig efter borgerkrig, politiske omvæltninger og regional magtkamp i Sydasien. Bidragyderne diskuterer interne trusler som politisk vold, svage statsinstitutioner, økonomisk marginalisering og social uro samt eksterne udfordringer relateret til grænser, migration, terrorisme, stormagtsrivalisering og relationerne til nabolandene. Der lægges vægt på, hvordan nye risikoformer – fx transnational kriminalitet, energisikkerhed, miljø- og klimaspørgsmål – spiller sammen med klassisk militær og politimæssig sikkerhed. Bogen præsenterer også anbefalinger til nepalesiske beslutningstagere, diplomater, sikkerhedsmyndigheder og internationale partnere om, hvordan landet kan udvikle en mere helhedsorienteret og moderne sikkerhedsstrategi. Velegnet som introduktion til sikkerhedspolitik og strategiske studier med fokus på Nepal og Sydas

The Waning Influence of Social Science on National Security To mobilize America's intellectual resources to meet the security challenges of the post-9/11 world, US Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates observed that "we must again embrace eggheads and ideas." But the gap between national security policymakers and international relations scholars has become a chasm. Michael Desch traces the history of the relationship between the Beltway and the Ivory Tower from World War I to the present day. Recounting key "Golden Age" academic strategists such as Thomas Schelling and Walt Rostow, Desch's narrative shows that social science research became most oriented toward practical problem-solving during times of war and that scholars returned to less relevant work during peacetime. Social science disciplines like political science rewarded work that was methodologically sophisticated over scholarsh
To atone for the sins he committed serving his country, ex-covert government agent Paul Janson is determined to save the world: one person, one mission, one redemption at a time. THE JANSON OPTION Paul Janson--a former Consular Ops legend known as "The Machine" for his deadly speed and accuracy--has a new mission. Sickened by the "sanctioned serial killings" ordered by the state department, Janson has left covert operations and is now a private security consultant. In partnership with deadly sharpshooter Jessica Kincaid, he only takes assignments that he believes will lead to the greater good. When American Synergy Corporation oil executive Kingsman Helms begs Janson to rescue his wife, Allegra, from Somali pirates, Janson and Kincaid view it as the perfect opportunity to infiltrate ASC and disrupt the company's scheme to subvert independent oil-rich African countries into wholly-owned A
