Mara E. Karlin, "Building Militaries in Fragile States: Challenges for the United States"
English | ISBN: 0812249267 | 2018 | 296 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Combining rigorous academic scholarship with the experience of a senior Pentagon policymaker, Mara E. Karlin explores the key national security issue of our time: how to effectively build partner militaries. Given the complex and complicated global security environment, declining U.S. defense budgets, and an increasingly connected (and often unstable) world, the United States has an ever-deepening interest in strengthening fragile states. Particularly since World War II, it has often chosen to do so by strengthening partner militaries. It will continue to do so, Karlin predicts, given U.S. sensitivity to casualties, a constrained fiscal environment, the nature of modern nationalism, increasing transnational security threats, the proliferation of fragile states, and limits on U.S. public support for military interventions. However, its record of success is thin.

Eileen Lenson, "Overcoming Adversity: Conquering Life's Challenges"
English | ISBN: 1925644065 | 2018 | 276 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
No one searches for adversity. Bad experiences are simply part of life. Yet how many of us will know what to do to prevent our lives from spiraling out of control when we encounter traumatic events that threaten our safety, careers, emotions, health, or relationships? In this pragmatic and inspirational book, experienced life coach and former psychotherapist Eileen Lenson shows us tools to develop resilience by combining scientific research with an understanding of our emotional and spiritual lives. She cuts through existing myths and provides readers with a look into what it takes to not just overcome adversity and survive, but to thrive. Written to help anyone who finds themselves in a painful place, regardless of social background, culture, religion or education, each chapter describes from a scientific, psychological and spiritual perspective, why we do the things we do. Armed with this knowledge we can learn to manage our feelings and respond to devastating events with the skills to seek healthy coping options and change our lives for the better. In this book you'll learn how to: * Learn how to use five core principles ― forgiveness, courage, perspective, perseverance, and hope ― to reduce emotional suffering. * Identify and replace unproductive coping skills with healthy thoughts, feelings and behaviors. * Master new skills through practice exercises. * Benefit from the stories of others, just like you, who have faced and overcome adversity.

Russell Hogg, Kerry Carrington, "Critical Criminology: Issues, Debates, Challenges"
English | 2002 | pages: 305 | ISBN: 1903240697 | PDF | 6,6 mb
This book sets to explore the key issues and future prospects facing critical criminology, bringing together a set of leading authorities in the field from the UK, Australasia and the USA. A key concern of the book is to review the possibilities and strategies of pursuing critical criminological scholarship in the context of an increasingly dominant administrative criminology paradigm, reflected in the rise of neo-liberalism, a 'governmentalised' criminology of risk, crime control and situational crime prevention.

Hiroyuki Taguchi, "Challenges in Fiscal and Monetary Policies in Mongolia "
English | ISBN: 9811993645 | 2023 | 257 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book provides quantitative evidence on the issues in fiscal and monetary policies in Mongolia and presents necessary policy recommendations for policymakers and academic circles. Mongolia belongs to a natural resource-based, transition economy and thus has faced the risk of the so-called resource curse―including the "Dutch Disease" and immaturity in market-based systems, particularly in financial markets. Consequently, reformations of resource allocation and policy governance in fiscal and monetary fields have been required. So far, however, there have been only a very limited number of quantitative studies in the Mongolian economy among the vast literature of Asian studies.
