No Man's Land

Examines the complex relationship that illicit groups have with modern technology—and how and when geography still matters, tracing the networks, command structures, and training programs of Southeast Asian terrorist, insurgent, and criminal groups.

Justin V. Hastings is Senior Lecturer in International Relations and Comparative Politics in the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney.

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.
