| Summary/Abstract |
The history of British defence reviews has been one of repeated disappointment: a cycle in which policy failure is followed by a period of inertia, giving way to an attempt at a new policy framework which is then misimplemented by the defence leadership. Each failed defence review therefore sows the seeds of its successor. With this in mind, in 2010 the new coalition government embarked upon an altogether more ambitious exercise: a strategy review comprising a National Security Strategy and a Strategic Defence and Security Review. This article suggests, nevertheless, not only that the 2010 strategy review looks likely to follow past performance, but also that it is coming unstuck at an unprecedented rate. This is a pity since the 2010 review had much to commend it, not least the adoption of a risk-based approach to security and defence policy-making. What is the explanation for this outcome? Is it that the British have, as some have suggested, lost the ability to 'do strategy', if ever they had it? The authors offer a more nuanced understanding of the policy process and argue that the coalition government in fact has a very clear and deliberate strategy-that of national economic recovery. Yet the coalition government cannot allow national defence and security to fail. The authors conclude with an assessment of the options open to the defence leadership as they seek to address the failing 2010 strategy review and suggest a variety of indicators which will demonstrate the intent and seriousness of the political, official and military leadership of the Ministry of Defence.

| Summary/Abstract |
Among the modern Indian thinkers Manabendra Nath Roy was more a philosopher than a mass leader. He was, essentially, one of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century and truly a citizen of the world. His philosophy may be described as a mid-twentieth century version of the Renaissance modified and enriched by the experience of the intervening centuries.

| Summary/Abstract |
The growing literature on human trafficking lacks survey data on citizens' attitudes towards it in states of origin. This article discusses the results of a nationwide public opinion poll conducted in June 2007 in Russia and explores the views of two focus groups. It examines Russians' thoughts about the causes and scale of human trafficking and beliefs about what should be done to tackle it, by whom and how. Both sets of data reveal pessimism about state capacity to address human trafficking effectively.

I am most grateful to the British Academy and the Russian Academy of Sciences for research trips to Moscow and St Petersburg in 2004 and 2007 and again to the British Academy for a small research grant which enabled me to visit a third time in June 2007 and to fund a nationwide public opinion poll and two focus groups held in Moscow and Vladimir. Thanks are due to Alexei Grazhdankin, Alexey Levinson and Svetlana Koroleva of the Levada Centre. Gratitude is also owed to anonymous reviewers for their feedback.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the present condition of our country, it is gradually felt by the thoughtful citizens of India that we need an alternative meaning of living and achieving the desired objectives of human life. We are fortunate that we have Manabendranath Roy (M.N.Roy), a gifted personality, a philosopher revolutionary, who deeply thought for this 'alternative' sixty five years before anticipating the demoralization of party-politics embedded in the party system and intellectual stagnation what we are facing today.
