| Summary/Abstract |
After summarising the evidence about the surge in violent crime that afflicted the industrialised West from the 1960s to the 1990s, Guido G Preparata reviews the principal explanations advanced by scholars. He construes the crime wave as a singular release of violent energy related to an epochal/generational break, due to the condition of economic and political bodies.

| Summary/Abstract |
Niloufer Bhagwat posits that the message, example and methods of Mahatma Gandhi are being remembered in many countries today as he had indentified the ills of capitalism and pointed out solutions to problems, which have since grown much bigger. These include destructive industrialisation, ecological issues, runaway technological militarism in the service of unaccountable financial elites and unsustainable consumerism, among others.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sören Scholvin sheds light on Nigeria as a regional power from 1990 to 2003, a time marked by the country's numerous security interventions in West Africa. The main finding is that while Nigeria demonstrated its regional dominance, realised some specific objectives and mostly kept external powers out of the area, it failed to gain broadbased support from neighbours as it often acted unilaterally.
