Drug Law Enforcement, Policing and Harm Reduction : Ending the Stalemate
The policing of drugs is an intriguing, complex, and contentious domain that brings into sharp focus the multifaceted nature of the police role and has farreaching consequences for health, crime, and justice.While research on drugs policing has historically been surprisingly sparse, fragmented, and underdeveloped, the field has recently become a burgeoning area of academic study, influenced by contemporary trends in policing practices, changes in drug policy, and wider social movements.This book makes a much-needed interdisciplinary and international contribution that engages with established and emerging areas of scholarship, advances cutting-edge debates, and sets an agenda for future directions in drugs policing. Drug Law Enforcement, Policing and Harm Reduction is the first edited collection to devote its attention exclusively to drugs policing.It brings together a range of leading scholars to provide a deep and thorough account of the current state of knowledge.In addition to academic analysis, authors also include serving police officers and policymakers, who have influenced how drugs policing is framed and carried out.Together, the contributors draw on a diverse set of empirical studies and theoretical perspectives, with the thread running throughout the book being the concept of harm reduction policing.With accounts from various countries, localities, and contexts, topics covered include the (in)effectiveness and (un)intended consequences of the ‘war on drugs’, attempts to reform drugs policing, and the role of partnerships and policy networks.The broader theme of inequality lies at the heart of this collection. An accessible and compelling read, this book will be of interest to academics and students of criminology, public health, and social policy, especially those researching policing, drug policy, and harm reduction.It also offers valuable insights and practical guidance for professionals working in the drugs field.

Why is this a stalemate?
This situation is a stalemate because both parties involved are at a standstill and neither side is able to make a move that would significantly change the outcome. Each side is evenly matched in terms of power and influence, making it difficult for either to gain an advantage. Without a clear path to victory, the conflict remains deadlocked, resulting in a stalemate.

Is it checkmate or stalemate?
It is checkmate. Stalemate occurs when the player whose turn it is to move has no legal moves and their king is not in check. Checkmate, on the other hand, occurs when the player's king is in check and there are no legal moves to escape the threat. In this scenario, the game is over and the player whose king is in checkmate has lost.

The Space Law Stalemate : Legal Mechanisms for Developing New Norms
The governing international space law regime has been locked in a norm-creation stalemate for over 40 years.This stalemate endangers the preservation of established, guiding legal principles, as well as the sustainability of the parts of outer space that humans utilize.The discrepancy between norm creation, technological advancement, and the ecosystem of novel actors could generate serious consequences for future space activities and the nature of international relations.Besides the return of old rivalries in a New Cold War, new activities and actors emerging amidst a legal void emphasizes the risks of the stalemate: unstable peace, fragile cooperation, uneven technological development, and uncertain eco-sustainability.The prolonged legal stalemate cannot be treated simply as an academic question, for it has broader political and economic implications of growing strategic relevance.Unresolved issues in international space law could threaten the survival of space as a global common, thus it is essential that the ability of the norm-creation mechanism of UN COPUOS is equipped to address the ongoing changes and provide for adequate global governance.This book evaluates the current legal state and sheds light on potential future prospects, offering an overview of the political context within which it developed, providing an assessment of the selected successful examples in international law, and analyzing lessons learned.It makes recommendations for how the UN COPUOS legal apparatus should be modified in order to ensure that future space activities are possible beyond anarchy, greed, and ecological irresponsibility, and to ensure that the principle of the peaceful uses of outer space remains the governing norm.

Party Politics in Japan : Political Chaos and Stalemate in the 21st Century
The Japanese political system is a parliamentary democracy and was the first western style government in Asia when the parliamentary system was adopted in the 1880s.It has a multiparty system, free elections, and a parliament that functions much the same way that any other democratic parliament functions, however for much of its existence the Japanese party system has been dominated by one party.This fact is crucial to understanding contemporary politics in Japan, especially since the long term ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, is once again back in power. This book presents an up-to-date analysis of the political parties that make up the Japanese party system and their impact on Japanese politics and government.Given that the executive branch is selected as a result of the pattern of party numbers in the parliament, to understand Japanese politics and policy, one must first know the nature of the ruling and opposition parties and their leaders.Indeed, in the past decade the quality of Japan’s government has been closely associated with the strengths and weaknesses of Japan’s prime ministers and the dominant party in the system.This book focuses on a central question: why Japanese politics and government has been so dysfunctional in the past two decades?With this question in mind, the chapters provide key background information on Japanese politics and political parties; discuss each of the major political parties that have governed Japan since 1955; and finally, examine the December 2012 House of Representatives elections that returned the LDP to power, and the differences between the First (1955-1993) and the Second Post War Party Systems (1993- ). Party Politics in Japan provides a comprehensive analysis of the past sixty years of Japanese party politics.As such, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese politics and Asian politics, as well as to those interested in political parties and political systems more broadly.

Not One Inch : America, Russia, and the Making of Post-Cold War Stalemate
A leading expert on foreign policy reveals how tensions between America, NATO, and Russia transformed geopolitics ?A Foreign Affairs Best Book of 2021 and winner of the Pushkin House Book Prize “Sarotte has the receipts, as it were: her authoritative tale draws on thousands of memos, letters, briefs, and other once secret documents—including many that have never been published before—which both fill in and complicate settled narratives on both sides.”—Joshua Yaffa, New Yorker “The most engaging and carefully documented account of this period in East-West diplomacy currently available.”—Andrew Moravcsik, Foreign Affairs Not one inch.With these words, Secretary of State James Baker proposed a hypothetical bargain to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev after the fall of the Berlin Wall: if you let your part of Germany go, we will move NATO not one inch eastward.Controversy erupted almost immediately over this 1990 exchange—but more important was the decade to come, when the words took on new meaning.Gorbachev let his Germany go, but Washington rethought the bargain, not least after the Soviet Union’s own collapse in December 1991.Washington realized it could not just win big but win bigger.Not one inch of territory needed to be off limits to NATO. On the thirtieth anniversary of the Soviet collapse, this book uses new evidence and interviews to show how, in the decade that culminated in Vladimir Putin’s rise to power, the United States and Russia undermined a potentially lasting partnership.Prize-winning historian M. E. Sarotte shows what went wrong.

Why is a stalemate considered a draw?
A stalemate is considered a draw in chess because it is a situation where one player has no legal moves left, but their king is not in check. This means that the game cannot progress any further, resulting in a draw. In a stalemate, neither player has achieved checkmate, so the game ends in a draw as neither player has won. Stalemates are seen as a way to recognize a situation where one player is not able to win, leading to a draw being the fair outcome.
-
What is the difference between checkmate and stalemate?
Checkmate occurs when a player's king is in a position to be captured and there are no legal moves that can prevent this capture, resulting in the game being won by the opponent. Stalemate, on the other hand, occurs when a player has no legal moves available and their king is not in check. In a stalemate, the game ends in a draw because the player whose turn it is cannot make a legal move.

Do these stalemate situations in movies not make sense?
Stalemate situations in movies can sometimes feel unrealistic because they often rely on characters making irrational decisions or failing to communicate effectively. In real life, people are usually more willing to compromise or find alternative solutions when faced with a deadlock. However, these stalemates can create tension and suspense in a movie, driving the plot forward and keeping the audience engaged. Ultimately, while they may not always make perfect sense, they serve a narrative purpose in building drama and conflict.
