Worldview 3.13.12

As U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon urges the international community to speak with one voice on Syria, the U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Monday to extend its political mission in Libya. Worldview talks with security analyst Steve Clemons, Washington editor at The Atlantic, about the latest in Syria and Libya. Also, many observers were surprised and even shocked by some police methods used to subdue various “Occupy” demonstrations across the U.S. and Europe. In his book, Cities Under Siege: The New Military Urbanism, Stephen Graham examines the increasing influence of military technology on domestic police forces. He discusses his research with Worldview.
