| Summary/Abstract |
This article provides a descriptive, operational analysis of the modern anarchist movement, emphasizing the actions of the criminal anarchists and implications for US law enforcement. It begins by explaining some core tenets of anarchist “theory,” and its relationship to violence, then describes the structure, tactics and tradecraft of militant anarchist activists. It concludes that Anarchism is a revolutionary movement, not just a “protest group.” Clearly not all anarchists advocate or engage in violence, but some do. Those individuals and factions pose a particular concern to law enforcement. This article offers some practical recommendations to law enforcement for preventing and managing those direct action attacks that may compromise public safety.

| Summary/Abstract |
Managing these economic and national security hazards in cyberspace has been a vexing problem. 6 Most discourse about cybersecurity solutions has focused on defensive measures, mainly ways to protect the perimeter around sensitive data, information, and systems. Network and system administrators worry about reacting to network intrusions and compromises so that system downtime is minimized and usage can be continued with minimal interruption. While improving network security and information assurance technology may be necessary, these measures are not sufficient to counter the complex and evolving array of cyber threats. Because current reactive approaches are not working, fundamentally changing how to understand and operate in cyberspace is necessary. 7 A transformed approach to cybersecurity cannot rely solely on responding to known threats; it must also track the capabilities, intentions, and activities of potential adversaries and competitors, as they evolve, in the cyber realm. 8 That set of information and associated functions is referred to as Cyber Intelligence.

| Summary/Abstract |
The recent influx of foreign fighters into Syria, particularly those aligning with the Islamic State, has brought renewed attention to the security threat posed by people who cross borders to participate in armed conflict. Although foreign fighters have rarely, if ever, constituted the majority of combatants in a war or insurgency, understanding their role is critical for conflict analysis and prevention. This review focuses on behavioral aspects of the foreign fighter phenomenon. Although other books and articles have focused wholly, or in part, on historical dimensions, the behavioral and social science literature on foreign fighters is much more limited. This review first explores the definitions of “foreign fighter” terminology, then analyzes what is known about their motivations and their pathways toward engaging in armed conflict on foreign soil. It examines recruitment strategies and the role of “radicalization” in feeding the transnational insurgent supply, and finally describes more specifically, the nature of foreign fighter involvement in more recent armed conflicts (e.g., Syria, Chechnya, Iraq, and Afghanistan), and speculates about the prospects for their future involvement.
