| Summary/Abstract |
The struggle to ensure information flows to the people who need it while keeping that same information compartmentalized to protect it poses unique problems in the digital age. This effort is further complicated in India where budget constraints, a commitment to democracy, and being a constant target for terrorism tend to severely stretch the security services. In particular, funding for even the country’s Special Forces is problematic and has led to poorly prepared counterterrorism personnel due to limited budgets that prevent the purchase of ammunition for training.

| Summary/Abstract |
The coastal zone is the interface between land and the sea and extends inlands and seaward to a variable extent depending on political, administrative, legal, ecological and pragmatic conditions. By virtue of any set of criteria, the coastal zone is a linear band of land and water that straddles the coast- a corridor in planning parlance - which has a one dimentional aspect

| Summary/Abstract |
The major proble of Indo-Pak border management is the myopic view and general perception that this is the resposibility of BSF alone and that border security is the be all and end all of that border management. This attitude is slowly changing, as reflected by the creation of a separate department of border managment can be improved withe the economic development of border areas and through the coordinated efforts of all stakehoders. The Government should harness the unique position of BSF as its sole visible instrument in remote far-flung areas to identify the problems of border populations and initiate programs and projects for their overall economic development. Fucussed development of the border area is essential to make adequate employment opprtunities and economic avenues available to border populations so that key do not fall prey to the designs of criminals and anti-national elements.

| Summary/Abstract |
The LDP lost power briefly 15 years ago; though it regained control of the government in less than a year, since then it has had to rely on coalitions with other parties. Now it seems to be concerned only with perpetuating its hold on power. On the opposition side, the Democratic Party of Japan is having some success in pulling the disparate elements together, but it still lacks clarity on its basic principles. Another problem is the large number of hereditary legislators, particularly in leadership positions. Parties need to do a better job of recruiting talented newcomers as candidates.

| Summary/Abstract |
After ‘below the neck’ reforms of operational units in 2017, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Army remains the PLA’s largest service as China seeks to develop forces with increased joint capabilities in the maritime, air, and space/cyber domains. The Army is expanding its ‘new-type combat forces,’ such as Special Operations, helicopter, long-range rocket, and electronic warfare units, to contribute to maritime operations as well as to land missions. It has standardised the structure of group armies and formed new combined arms brigades and battalions. Reform has affected nearly every Army unit resulting in a short-term decline in large-scale training and operational readiness as newly organised units focus on individual and small unit functional training. Senior PLA leaders acknowledge numerous shortcomings in Chinese military capabilities and are cautious about initiating combat operations, preferring instead to achieve China’s objectives through deterrence or actions below the threshold of lethal military force.

| Summary/Abstract |
The promise of Bourdieu-inspired analysts to provide a "different reading" of the international is receiving increasing attention in the academic discipline of international relations (IR). This attention also generates awareness and of problems inherent in the Bourdieuian approach and a desire to develop it further (or abandon it). These discussions have often focused on the difficulties that arise for IR as a consequence of the structuralism of Bourdieu's approach, and as such they dovetail with the discussions between Bourdieu's "critical sociology" and the "pragmatic school" in the French context. This article uses these discussions to clarify what it entails to paint a different picture-my picture-of the international using Bourdieu's thinking tools. More specifically, it argues that Bourdieu's thinking can be used as a basis for a non-structuralist staging of the international taking on board the critique raised by pragmatists and integrating many of the insights developed by them. Bourdieu often referred to his own thinking as a "structuralist constructivism," so this article takes Bourdieu's thinking in a direction he may not have liked to go. However, it sticks closely to the spirit of his contention that one should never privilege scholastic theorizing for the sake of theorizing nor hesitate to "read a thinker against himself."

| Summary/Abstract |
With smart metering initiatives gaining increasing global popularity, the present paper seeks to challenge the increasingly entrenched view that providing householders with feedback about their energy usage, via an in-home-display, will lead them to substantially reduce their energy consumption. Specifically, we draw on existing quantitative and qualitative evidence to outline three key problems with feedback, namely: (a) the limited evidence of efficacy, (b) the need for user engagement, and (c) the potential for unintended consequences. We conclude by noting that, in their current form, existing in-home-displays may not induce the desired energy-reduction response anticipated by smart metering initiatives. Instead, if smart metering is to effectively reduce energy consumption there is a clear need to develop and test innovative new feedback devices that have been designed with user engagement in mind.
