| Summary/Abstract |
This article offers some thoughts about the Commonwealth in its 60th anniversary year by a young observer from the 'new generation'. It argues that the Commonwealth must pay particular attention to creating a positive first impression on young people, so that it can be defined through the relevance of its current actions rather than through history books. It suggests that, in a crowded international marketplace, the Commonwealth must identify a Unique Selling Point that will be of long-term value to its members, and prove that it can do things and reach places that other international associations cannot. Its shared commitments and values give the Commonwealth the potential to be a true voice of moral authority on the world stage. Yet until the Commonwealth can truly be defined by its Harare principles, rather than with reference to the historical bonds that originally threw it together, it will struggle to transcend the inaccurate image which young people hold of it. The article concludes by looking forward to the global challenges, questions of membership and expansion, and the sensitive issue of Headship that the Commonwealth will be faced with before its 100th birthday.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the pages of this journal in 2005, the author argued that the dismantling of the Revolutionary Organization 17N did not equate to the final elimination of terrorism in Greece. European experience, it was further argued, had shown that when a major terrorist organization is broken up, after a period of time a new generation of terrorists emerges that tends to lack the operational capabilities and scope of the group they attempt to imitate, but this does not render them less dangerous. Tellingly, the Revolutionary Struggle (RS) picked up the baton of violence from 17N before the latter's trial had even come to an end. This article examines RS's campaign of violence, explains its selection of targets and compares the group's ideological physiognomy and operational development with that of the group it aspired to emulate.

| Summary/Abstract |
The new generation of servicemen and women are better informed, more opinionated and more comfortable in the modern information environment. Ensuring that they are equipped with the conceptual component of their professional toolkit, as well as the physical and moral, is a vital challenge, particularly as it requires looking to the future's rather than the past's way of doing business.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past decade, a number of countries in the Asia Pacific region have concluded a new generation of FTAs that liberalise trade in goods and services while also containing investment protection provisions. This paper provides an overview of the recent trends giving special attention to the impact of Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) cases which has influenced the evolution of investment rule-making over the last decade. The paper asserts that investment disputes have influenced the refinement of the provisions of the new generation of investment agreements as well as the inclusion of a series of procedural and substantive innovations in these agreements.

| Summary/Abstract |
While "the second generation of the rich" (富二代 Fuerdai) has received plenty of attention and criticism in modern China, this article pays attention to the ways in which they are stepping up to play a key role in China's economy as they hit their 20s and 30s. We are particularly interested in the roles played by the Fuerdai in the process of industrial restructuring and the ways in which China's coastal clusters have been evolving with the formation of a new generation of entrepreneurs. This article examines a specific apparel cluster in Ningbo, China. It compares two types of enterprises through the lenses of three categories—political, functional, and cognitive lock-in—to understand the ways in which the Fuerdai is bringing new life into the local cluster. We show that the new-style enterprises, created by the succession of a new generation, often display more openness, and therefore features of cognitive, functional, and political lock-in may be broken.
