| Summary/Abstract |
Since 11 September 2001 (9/11), extensive intelligence reform has brought many changes to the “Five Eyes/5 Eyes” intelligence communities. 1 For example, one major theme in the reform agenda has been to “fuse” intelligence more effectively within intelligence agencies and across communities. Questions remain however, as to whether such reform efforts have been effective. Has the rush to fusion resulted in greater effectiveness or additional fragmentation of intelligence?

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper focuses on analysing NATO's involvement in Afghanistan, a current issue in the interaction between two main constituents of the West, the United States and Europe, with a part of the Muslim world. NATO forces in Afghanistan are engaged in one of the severest battles in the organisation's history. A failure in Afghanistan will have great implications for the transatlantic relationship as well as for the relations between the Muslim world and the West. The Alliance has been able to successfully deal with numerous challenges in the past. Would it be able to overcome the latest challenge? The aim of this paper is to examine this question. The paper starts with analysing the dynamics through which NATO reinvented itself in the 1990s, and then focuses on the post-9/11 era and the deployment of NATO forces in Afghanistan. The challenges posed by the resurgence of the Taliban insurgency are examined next, followed by a discussion of the internal rifts within NATO in general and regarding Afghanistan in particular. The conclusion assesses the chances of NATO's success and makes some policy recommendations.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study finds that the issue of preventing terrorist attacks has received surprisingly little attention by decision-makers and the news media, and only sporadic interest by pollsters. When it comes to homeland security, how to protect the nation and its people from actual attacks takes a back seat to press coverage of threats and other aspects of terrorism, particularly the administration's arguments for fighting the "war on terrorism" abroad as a means to prevent further terrorism at home. This inattention to the difficult task of preventing further catastrophic terror attacks by taking measures at home may affect the nation's vigilance as time has passed since 9/11.

| Summary/Abstract |
Very recently, India’s ambassador to Afghanistan Amar Sinha criticised Pakistan for its suspected proxy war tactics and encouragement for terrorism in Afghanistan. He emphasised that Pakistan is trying to use Afghanistan as its combat zone while doing nothing to eliminate the terrorist sanctuaries on its soil. Ambassador Sinha’s accusations were swiftly refuted by in a statement released by Pakistan’s embassy in Afghanistan maintaining that India’s accusations are ‘baseless and unfounded.
