2023 || Paperback || N. Amin || Eleven international publishing
Afghanistan is often viewed as a failing state.

Yet, such developments had been stalled time and again, first due to conservative resistance, then the 1979 Soviet occupation, and the subsequent rise of Mujahidin and Taliban.

2022 || Hardcover || Marcelo F. Aebi e.a. || Eleven international publishing
Cybercrime has become part of everyday life. We live in hybrid societies, fluctuating between the material and the virtual world, and we are hence confronted with online, offline and hybrid offences.
