| Summary/Abstract |
While today's global war on terrorism is focused on Islamist organizations, in coming decades we should expect the vast proliferation of terrorist groups with an enormous variety of ideologies and goals. The pressures created by rapid technological, social, and other change will create fertile conditions for the growth of new radical movements. Whether (and, if so, how) the great powers choose to use terrorists against each other will be one of the major factors shaping the international security environment in this century. If even one of the great powers chooses to be reckless in its use of terrorist proxies against its peers, this could lead to catastrophic terrorist attacks and significantly increased prospects for great power war.

| Summary/Abstract |
There is no place for strategic culture in an intellectual world of indistinguishable billiard balls. In that rarified space, culture is still permitted to exist as a social concept; arguing that all peoples everywhere construct identical societies requires an indifference to contrary evidence so impressive as to be beyond the capacity even of most social scientists. Yet, for a great many IR theorists, culture manages both to be axiomatically central to human life and society and also, somehow, not to matter very much in describing how international relations works. One simply pins on a “neoliberal” or “neorealist” school membership badge and gets on with the business of crafting theoretically elegant models of how humans and their institutions act. Or, at least, how they would act if people were not irritatingly mammalian. The tendency of individuals to respond to stimuli with something other than perfectly rational responses carefully calculated to optimize their interests, as those interests are ranked and prioritized by theorists, is inconvenient.

| Summary/Abstract |
Although international war crimes law as such is a relatively recent development, claims that one's enemy has stepped outside the accepted boundaries of warfare have occurred throughout recorded history. In the last few decades, however, the globalization of media, the development of ever-cheaper digital recording devices, and other social and technological trends have allowed war crimes accusations to become an increasingly potent tool which insurgents can use to delegitimize the state which they are fighting. Indeed, insurgents have become so effective at using such techniques that many internationally prominent state leaders fiercely demand that states observe the laws of war but do not make similarly rigorous demands of insurgents. This article discusses how various insurgents, particularly those in conflict with US military forces, have guided global perceptions and used the aforementioned broader social and economic trends so as to create this advantageous outcome.
