| 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 |
The defense community finally has accepted that strategic culture is a vitally important concept with significant implications. There are difficulties, however, in finding a methodology to study it and, indeed, in understanding just how it "works." Scholars cannot even agree on how to define strategic culture, even though, clearly, culture is of the utmost importance. This article addresses the many challenges that accompany the study of culture and warns that it is not a panacea for strategic dilemmas. It also warns that it is possible that the current enthusiasm for cultural study and culturally informed strategic behavior soon will fade
