| Summary/Abstract |
Politics is critical to making sense of Pakistani successes and failures in dealing with non-state armed groups. This includes domestic political currents; regional political currents; and the global impetus of the post-9/11 era. How these currents overlap renders to any reading of insurgency in Pakistan real complexity. This article engages with this complexity rather than shirking from it. Its hypothesis is that while the insurgency bordering Afghanistan has been an epicentre of Pakistani military efforts to fight the Taliban, this theatre is in of itself insufficiently inclusive to grasp the nature of Pakistan’s security challenges and its consequent responses.

| Summary/Abstract |
The successful employment of German air power in the Battle of Britain was greatly hindered by abysmal intelligence. The Luftwaffe never developed an accurate picture of enemy strengths and weaknesses, and this contributed to preventing it from bringing force to bear at the decisive point of battle. Although certain aspects of British intelligence were equally flawed, it ultimately proved itself to be an indispensable adjunct to the operational success of Fighter Command. This article focuses on the contribution made to Luftwaffe and RAF operations during the Battle of Britain by their respective intelligence gathering institutions. It is an investigation into the extent to which activities in the realm of intelligence can explain the eventual British victory.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the hedging strategies of Iran, Russia, and China. It demonstrates how these deeply dissatisfied states have used strategic hedging to pursue status and security: specifically, through local revisionism that does not jeopardize their ability to participate in the international system or trigger interstate war. The case studies show how these states have maintained this balance during three of the biggest interstate crises of the twenty-first century so far: confrontations over Iran's nuclear program, Russia's destabilization of Ukraine, and China's maritime operations. Each case juxtaposes these states΄ regional assertion of power with their efforts to bargain with the system hegemon. The evidence shows that despite ostensibly revisionist maneuvers, none of these states want to fight the US or to break with the global system. Rather, each has executed its revisionist gambits as part of a wider hedging strategy, calibrating their level of aggression to the tolerance of the US.

| Summary/Abstract |
We humans base our activities on the stories we tell ourselves. The story we have related for the past century has seen humanity slide into ever deeper trouble. We have created a world of acute inequality, where the opulence of the few contrasts sharply with the desperate poverty of the many. Our air and water have been poisoned, making city smog unbreathable, rivers and lakes toxic and oceans acidified and awash with plastic. What scientists call the sixth extinction is accelerating as thousands of species, from butterflies to rhinos, vanish from the Earth. Our way of life is overheat- ing the planet, melting icecaps, triggering droughts and wildfires and making storms more frequent and destructive.
