Reviews

Peter Andreas, Brown University, author of Blue Helmets and Black Markets:

Engaging and accessible, No Man's Land is a fascinating book on extremely timely and important topics—terrorism, insurgency, and cross-border crime.

Andrew T. H. Tan, Convenor for International Studies, University of New South Wales:

No Man's Land is a useful and original contribution to the literature on terrorism from the perspective of political geography. It provides a different perspective from mainstream terrorism and strategic studies and gives a useful counter to the sometimes bloated claims of the advocates of globalization. Just as realists in International Relations argue that globalization has not meant the end of the state, Justin V. Hastings makes a compelling argument that territory matters and that it is not passé, despite the emergence of the global interlinked economy.
