Hijackings and bombings have plagued civil aviation since 1930 and air rage incidents are on the rise. While there is aircraft and inflight training available for air marshals, other first responders receive minimal training on inflight security awareness and protocols. There are no other resources currently available to flight crews or armed first responders that specifically address inflight security and how to address threats of disturbances on airplanes. How to Stop a Hijacking provides readers with fundamental principles on how to think more critically about onboard security threats. The aircraft cabin poses unique environment and security challenges, and first responders can apply security awareness and critical thinking skills to establish a safer environment in the cabin and airport for everyone onboard. The lessons in this book are driven with the central objective of teaching the reader how to counter inflight aggression and maintain tactical control of the cabin. Written by a former federal air marshal instructor, this book looks at the recent rash of air rage incidents and violence on airplanes, in addition to the real and ever-present threat of hijack or potential explosive device. How to Stop a Hijacking is a practical guide that offers methodological and tactically proven strategies for stopping violent acts onboard an aircraft inflight.

The story of the Lockerbie tragedy from the build-up of the terrorist threat in the summer of 1988 to the indictment of Libyan agents for their part in the bombing. It examines the facts surrounding the sabotage of the flight and the weaknesses in Pan Am's communication and management policies

In January 2019, about two weeks before India's Republic Day, Israel's National Security Advisor, Meir Ben-Shabbat, flew to New Delhi and met Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi. While such consultations have been routine for the past two decades, the Israeli official chose the direct Air India flight from Tel Aviv – a new flight connection that could only be established due to an unprecedented permit for Israel-bound flights to fly over Saudi airspace. The small incident highlights the distance that India and Israel have traveled since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1992. Today, the two states share an ever-growing cooperation, especially in the areas of security and eco­nomic development. This rapprochement with Israel is embedded in India's broader Middle East strategy, in which especially the Gulf Arab states are important partners. Thus, India-Israel relations have also been catalyzed by the improvement in ties be­tween Israel and the Gulf States as well as the diminishing role played by the Palestin­ian issue. This, in turn, has led India, especially under Modi, not only to strengthen its ties with Israel, but also to de-hyphenate those ties from the Israeli-Palestinian con­flict, leading to a marginalization of the Palestinian question in Indian foreign policy.

This paper reads Bharati Mukherjee's short story "The Management of Grief" as an uncompromised critique of Canadian Multiculturalism at its early stage in the 1980s. Without neglecting the crucially humanist component of Mukherjee's investment in writing this story, the article demonstrates how, through subtle strategies of representation, "The Management of Grief" presents Canada as a country where whiteness-as-power is pervasive, and where ethnic minorities are perceived by mainstream society as exogenous, and made to feel as such. Together with this, the story as an archetypical representation of the predicament of diasporas, understood, pace Vijay Mishra and others, in the sense of the diasporic condition perceived as dominated by melancholia. The story evokes the diaspora experience in several other ways, most notably with its emphasis on the in-between status of such communities in an identitarian, affective and political sense. The analysis eventually focuses on how the story underscores and subtly illuminates the process of a political empowerment, an awareness-raising process which, accompanied by a coming-into-political-agency, marks a turning point in the increasingly relevant political role played by diasporas within the multicultural nation state. ; Este artículo lleva a cabo una lectura del conocido cuento de Bharati Mukherjee "The Management of Grief", entendiéndolo como una severa crítica de las políticas multiculturalistas canadienses de principios de los años ochenta. Sin descuidar el importante elemento humano que impulsa a Mukherjee a escribir esta historia, el artículo demuestra cómo, mediante sutiles estrategias de representación, "The Management of Grief" presenta el Canadá de la época como un país donde la estructura de poder dominante revela una estrecha conexión con la cultura blanca, y donde las minorías étnicas son percibidas por la opinión pública como exógenas, y como tal se les hace sentir. Por otra parte, la historia se ofrece como una representación arquetípica del predicamento de las diásporas, que, según Vijay Mishra y otros críticos del área, sería una condición dominada por la melancolía. El cuento de Mukherjee evoca la experiencia diaspórica en otros sentidos, entre los cuales destaca el énfasis en la situación de in-betweenness de estas comunidades en un sentido identitario, afectivo y político. El análisis finalmente muestra el modo en que este cuento enfatiza el proceso de empoderamiento político de las comunidades diaspóricas en Canadá, retratando una paulatina toma de conciencia en que la protagonista se torna agente de su propio destino. Según la lectura que lleva a cabo el artículo, el desenlace se muestra como punto de inflexión de este proceso, a la vez que pone en evidencia el papel cada vez más relevante que juegan las diásporas en el contexto del estado-nación multicultural.

On June 29, 1993, President William J. Clinton transmitted to the Senate, for advice and consent to ratification, the Convention on the Marking of Plastic Explosives for the Purpose of Detection, with Technical Annex, done at Montreal on March 1, 1991. The Convention is aimed at precluding the recurrence of incidents such as the terrorist bombings of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in December 1988, and UTA (Union de Transports Aériens) Flight 172 over Niger in September 1989, as well as other incidents in which plastic explosives were utilized. To this end, it requires states producing such explosives to mark them at the time of manufacture with a substance enhancing their detectability by commercially available mechanical or canine detectors. The Convention also requires states to ensure the implementation of controls over the sale, use, and disposition of marked and unmarked plastic explosives.

The history of politics in Indonesia, especially Orde Baru is indeed inseparable from the conflict between Islam and the state, especially the problem of ideology. This was seen when the Orde Baru applied a non-aspirational political strategy to Islam, one of them is asas tunggal Pancasila. The inequality of political views with the government caused various reactions and resistance from radical Islamists. One of the incidents is the Borobudur Temple bombing in 1985. The methods used in this study were historical research methods, this is: (1) Heuristics, (2) Source Criticism, (3) Interpretation, and (4) Historiography. The results of this study indicate that there are factors underlying the occurrence of the Borobudur Temple bombing, this is: (1) Political factors, the reactions of various Orde Baru policies which were considered to marginalize Islam, (2) Social factors, the emergence of a sense of injustice conducted by the government in the Tanjung Priok tragedy 1984, (3) Religious and ideological emotional factors, the desire to carry out a revolution like in Iran by revenge for bombing. The handling of the government in this case took two months, until the incident of Pemudi Express Bus exploded which resulted in the arrest of the perpetrators. This bombing resulted in the destruction of nine Borobudur Temple stupas which led to the restoration and improvement of the temple area security system. This incident also had an impact on the tourism, social and political economy in Indonesia. Keywords:Bombing, Borobudur Temple, Social History

The academic and corporate analysis of crisis management achieved considerable impetus during the latter part of the 1980s with the occurrence of a number of major incidents which captured media attention. The terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 in December 1988 was one of the largest loss‐of‐life transport incidents of the decade and had serious implications for the integrity of the corporation. The bombing, whilst a discrete crisis event in itself, was part of a longer history of crisis through which the company had passed. The purpose of this paper is to explore the managerial response to crisis events within Pan Am and offer an assessment of the factors that ultimately led to the collapse of the corporation in 1991. Throughout the paper, attempts will also be made to set the events within the context of current thinking in crisis management and, in particular, to examine the demise of Pan Am within the context of a number of models of turnaround management developed within the literature.

Main description: What law "counts" in international politics? Does any? How are effective international norms established? This provocative book introduces a new way of looking at these questions. It shows that many international standards of acceptable conduct derive far less from adjudications, statutes, or treaties and far more from what is found to be acceptable in the conflicts that we today call international incidents. The contributors demonstrate how law that counts has been developed, modified, and terminated in a variety of dramatic international incidents: the Cosmos 954 satellite accident, the downing of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, the Harrods bombing, the Argentine invasion of the Falklands/Las Malvinas, the incursions of foreign submarines into Swedish waters, the Soviet gas pipeline problem, the situation in Lebanon, and the Gulf of Sidra incident. This volume is a first, experimental effort at establishing a format for a new and more relevant kind of international political and legal analysis.Originally published in 1988.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
