| Summary/Abstract |
In this paper, I ask why constructivism in IR has slowed down as a theoretical project. One answer is that slowing down is normal (as in normal science); there is no problem. I propose a second answer, to the effect that constructivism has reached a crossroads. As the way ahead gets slower and slower, the temptation to turn off the road can only strengthen. The slowdown and the crossroads point to a central feature of constructivist thinking. As constructivists, we do systematically what ordinary people do routinely—we furnish our world with moderate-sized dry goods. By now we have plenty of furniture; there must be something else we can or should be doing.

| Summary/Abstract |
European Union has been buffeted not on one count but on several in the recent past. First the financial crisis engulfed it followed by the Eurozone crisis and then the Grexit, to be followed by Brexit. Terrorism has been one of the most talked about menace that several parts of EU had to suffer from. ISIS seemed to have found a place in many European hearts. Refugee crisis on account of ISIS misadventure in Syria was the consequence of terrorism. The migrants streamed in from Syria, Libya, Afghanistan and Pakistan. EU members had to negotiate and accommodate the surge of incoming refugees among themselves.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this essay, the author remembers his first visit to Myanmar more than 25 years ago and discusses factors that influence the appointment or election of leaders. In Asia there are many incidences of female relatives who take over leadership positions following the removal or decline of their husband, father, or brother. Next, focusing on the opposition to the military regime in Myanmar, the author analyzes conditions for public protest movements to be successful. One condition is that the cause is worthy and the leader inspires the people. The other condition is that the pressure of international public opinion becomes so great that the regime is forced to give in. The essay concludes with suggested action by the international community for the situation in Myanmar to return to normal.

| Summary/Abstract |
The role of women in the 2011 wave of protests, demonstrations and riots — nicknamed “the Arab Spring” by the Western media1 — was crucial, but many observers have started wondering whether women's postrevolutionary status will reflect their invaluable contribution. In Tunisia, women have enjoyed and practiced numerous rights since the 1950s. The various measures the state enacted to achieve gender equality have placed the country at the top position in the region with respect to women's rights. While this study acknowledges the impressive Tunisian record and the revolutionary role of Habib Bourguiba, later reinforced by Zine El Abidine Bin Ali, it draws attention to a grim reality. Not only did the two rulers coopt women's organizations into the state and punish feminist dissent; they also used the woman card to please the West and bargain with the Islamists, bolstering those rights when they wanted to weaken the Islamic movement, and ignoring them when they sought to appease it. It is this dependence on the Ben Ali regime and the rise of political Islam that have posed the most serious challenges to women in Tunisia since the Jasmine Revolution of 2011.
