    From illegal access to various types of data to malware that paralyzes a whole society: all such activities fall into the general category of “hacking”, a phenomenon which the young European democracy of Ukraine must respond to in its difficult transition.

    From the 1980s onwards, France has faced a series of violent riots in urban agglomerations, culminating in the autumn 2005 riots which continued for several weeks and spread to most of France’s major cities. As in the case of earlier riots in Great Britain, this drew broad attention across Europe and provoked the question of whether riots could also be expected in other countries. In both Germany…

    One reason why terrorist violence is sometimes placed in the realm of megalomania, and psychotics is that most terrorists (arguably jihadist) indeed have a fundamental different worldview and perception of current affairs and therefore are acting on different cognitive premises. However this biased perception is not due to psychological or neuronal deficiencies but is the result of socialization,…
