In order to carry out essential maintenance, SOLO will be temporarily unavailable between 6am on Saturday 12 July and around 6am Sunday 13 July. This maintenance will allow us to improve our services and provide you with a better experience.
During this time, you will not be able to search for items, request items from offsite storage or Scan and Deliver, or access online reading lists.
If you are visiting a Bodleian Library this weekend and need help finding an item on the shelf or borrowing an item, please ask a member of staff. You can search our records and find location information in the JISC Library Hub.
We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. This maintenance will allow us to improve our services.
Security Issues Online considers conflicts, policies, and relationships that have impacted the global arena throughout modern history. It is organised around key international events and includes themes such as terrorism, insurgency, cybersecurity, ethnic conflicts and resolution, and nuclear threats. It includes video content as well personal papers, documents, speeches, journals and monographs.
The SSL ‘Book of the Month’ feature highlights a book in our collection that has been chosen by one of our Subject Consultants. This may be a recent addition to our stock or an existing item that we would like to share with you.
July’s Book of the Month was selected by Sarah Rhodes, Subject Consultant for International Development and Forced Migration.
Guilt by location: forced displacement and population sorting in civil war
It was chosen to highlight the increasingly prevalent issue of insurgent groups forcing civilians to relocate to determine their political loyalties.
Book Overview
Population displacement is a devastating feature of contemporary conflict with far-reaching political and humanitarian consequences. This book demonstrates the extent to which displacement is a deliberate strategy of war, not just a consequence of it.
Reviews
‘In this gripping book, Adam Lichtenheld gives us new tools to understand forced migration. Armed groups displace civilians not only to remove rival sympathizers, but also to identify them to begin with. This insight shows why displacement is such a prevalent form of wartime violence.’
Abby Steele, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Amsterdam
