| Summary/Abstract |
Traditionally seen as a President consumed by the war on terror, George W. Bush is frequently portrayed as being relatively uninterested in Asia, and unable to outline a vision or a strategy to China, America’s Asian allies and Asian multilateral mechanisms. This article will revisit Bush’s policy on Asia and show a president who guided the United States with a policy that balanced the need to combat global terrorism and locate a focus on Asia. He faced the dilemmas of building cooperative relations with a rising China while trying to foster American alliances and partnerships in Asia, and managing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Utilizing qualitative content analysis as the main research method, the article will demonstrate that the Bush administration had not a lack of focus on Asia and that Bush’s diplomacy to Asia should be recognized as one of the most significant achievements of his presidency.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article compares security dynamics at two Olympic Games hosted by Canada: Montreal (1976) and Vancouver (2010). It is the first study of security at the Montreal Olympics and was only made possible after four years of requests under the Access to Information Act that resulted in the release of thousands of classified security documents in French and English. A comparative study of the two largest peacetime security operations in Canadian history offers unique insights into the challenges of hosting a major international gathering in the aftermath of an international terrorist incident: the 1972 Munich massacre and the 11 September 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. The comparison further offers an opportunity to chart the continuities and differences in Olympic security over time. We focus in part on how the historical context of each event informed ‘imaginaries of disaster’. We also examine continuities in the official security response, such as the emphasis on advance intelligence gathering, security ‘mock-ups’, manpower allocation, coalitions of security agencies and technological innovation. We conclude with some considerations on security legacies and the importance of major event security as a subject of comparative inquiry.

| Summary/Abstract |
UZBEKISTAN is a country with its own rich traditions, history, and culture that are closely intertwined with Russia's. The Russian Empire began to move into the region and develop it in the 1860s, and evidence of a common history still exists in various parts of the country. There have been some controversial issues in our relations that are connected, in the opinion of certain Uzbek scholars, to the Russian conquest of Tashkent and other regions and their subsequent incorporation into the Russian Empire. A biased approach toward the common past with Russia and attempts to reject it were especially pronounced during the presidency of Islam Karimov after Uzbekistan gained independence in 1991. The "big brother" policy that Moscow continued to pursue with respect to former Soviet republics and their leaders may have had something to do with that. The personal motives of Uzbekistan's first president and his entourage may also have been a factor.

| Summary/Abstract |
The publication of Dismantling the Welfare State in 1994 emerged at a moment when the future of the welfare state was very much in doubt. The language of welfare cutbacks had forcefully entered public debates as both scholars and policymakers came to the realization that the postwar economic boom had passed. Throughout the 1980s, anti-welfare parties, espousing a vision of a leaner state, scored major electoral successes on both sides of the Atlantic. Simultaneously, in other sectors of the economy, policymakers began to engage in drastic deregulation and economic privatization.

| Summary/Abstract |
Drawing on the constructivist concept of 'securitisation', this article analyses Russia's perceptions of, and responses to, Norway's Svalbard policy in the 1990s and 2000s. The analysis focuses on three policy issues which have figured prominently on Russia's arctic security agenda in recent years: (1) the establishment and use of civilian radars and satellite ground stations on the archipelago, (2) the adoption of the Svalbard Environmental Protection Act, and (3) the Norwegian Coast Guard's fishery enforcement measures in the Svalbard Fisheries Protection Zone. The article concludes that despite the changes that have taken place in the Euro-Arctic region after the Cold War, Svalbard has not ceased to be a security concern for Russia.

As a German historian recently remarked, for Germany Adolf Hitler was the "off-spring," the outstanding legacy, of World War I, and no one doubts that.
