| Summary/Abstract |
Declaration by ISIS that the Central Asian States (CAS) will be one of the targets has been a matter of great concern not only for these concerned countries but also for those which are closely politically and economically linked with Central Asia. Hence several questions arise. Why are the CAS targets of the ISIS and what are the problems facing the CAS due to this declaration by the ISIS? What policy measures are taken by the state authorities of the CAS to deal with this situation? What are the perspectives and challenges?

| Summary/Abstract |
Geography gives strategy its context. Secure from land invasion, Great Britain and later the United States employed a distinctive form of sea power to defeat their adversaries. Both used their navies to control sea-lanes and vital choke points and to apply direct pressure along enemy coastlines. Through their dominance of the oceans they were able to shape the political and economic order of the world. It is fair to say that what amounts to the Anglo-American school of naval power has demonstrated its efficacy time after time: over the past 250 years these two powers have, singly or together, and always with other allies, defeated every opponent that has attempted to change that order

| Summary/Abstract |
Based on an aggregate analysis of the French regional elections of 2004, Kestilä and Söderlund, in their 2007 article, 'Subnational Political Opportunity Structures and the Success of the Radical Right: Evidence from the March 2004 Regional Elections in France', examine the impact of subnational political opportunity structures on the success of the radical right and argue that such an approach can control for a wider range of factors and provide more reliable results than cross-national analyses. The present article disputes this claim on theoretical, conceptual and methodological grounds and demonstrates that their empirical findings are spurious.

| Summary/Abstract |
The actions of ISIS in the past few years have left the whole international community to stare feared with awe. The pace with which ISIS is expanding and the number of victims that leaves behind, has caused severe alert to all international organizations and States. The problems of the funding of ISIS, the support from other terrorist groups, the internet propaganda and the foreign terrorist fighters are phenomena that are still hard to be 100% traced and solved.

| Summary/Abstract |
ISIS, seems uniquely baffling and unusually dangerous . According to its leaders’ own statements, the group wants to eliminate infidels, impose sharia worldwide, and hasten the arrival of the Mahdi. ISIS' foot soldiers have pursued these goals with astonishing cruelty. Yet unlike the original al Qaeda, which showed little interest in controlling territory, ISIS has also sought to build the rudiments of a genuine state in the territory it controls. It has established clear lines of authority, tax and educational systems, and a sophisticated propaganda operation. It may call itself a “caliphate” and reject the current state-based international system, but a territorial state is what its leaders are running. As Jürgen Todenhöfer, a German journalist who visited territory in Iraq and Syria controlled by ISIS, said in 2014, “We have to understand that ISIS is a country now .”

| Summary/Abstract |
Colonial institutions are thought to be highly persistent, but measuring that persistence is difficult. Using a text analysis method that allows us to measure similarity between bodies of text, we examine the extent to which one formal institution – the penal code – has retained colonial language in seven West African countries. We find that the contemporary penal codes of most countries retain little colonial language. Additionally, we find that it is not meaningful to speak of institutional divergence across the unit of French West Africa, as there is wide variation in the legislative post-coloniality of individual countries. We present preliminary analyses explaining this variation and show that the amount of time that a colony spent under colonisation correlates with more persistent colonial institutions.

| Summary/Abstract |
In international politics, issues are created and suppressed according to their interests like Al-Qaida and now Islamic terrorism has become one of the big terrible issues in international politics. Consequently, the issue of Islamic terrorism is serving the interests of Da’esh as well as western countries and this war will be continued in future.

| Summary/Abstract |
On the occasion of the Centenary of the publication of Norman Angell's The Great Illusion, this article explores the extent to which Angell was influenced by his French contemporaries. He was living in France for the ten years previous to the book's publication and working as a newspaper editor and commentator. The main currents of French political thinking of that period are explored. The main conclusion reached is that Angell had little impact on French thinking at the time and it had not much on him. But it is argued that the reasons for this seeming mutual ignorance had profound effects on the development of thinking about international relations before 1914 and continue to haunt the way we think about IR in the "Anglo-Saxon" countries and in France itself.

| Summary/Abstract |
Terrorism is a term with no agreed definition among governments or academicians, but is almost used exclusively in a pejorative sense, to describe life-threatening actions perpetrated by politically motivated self-appointed sub-state groups. A more accurate definition has been proffered by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London: terrorism is the use of violence, often against people not directly involved in a conflict, by groups operating clandestinely, which generally claim to have high political or religious purposes, and believe that creating a climate of terror will assist attainment of their objectives.

| Summary/Abstract |
The strategy against the IS is highly dynamic given the rapidly shifting sands of geopolitics in the region and the responses of the countries, including American allies, that have stakes and influence in the region. Given that the election campaign for the presidential seat is heating up in America, the candidates are currently engaged in hyperbolic rhetoric and anti-incumbency criticism that are normal recipes of the campaign season. However, in most likelihood, whoever comes to the White House, will eventually take forward and tie the threads of what President Obama has already been doing and aims to do in his remaining days.

| Summary/Abstract |
The key to managing the disruptions and assuaging people’s fears is governance. People saw the world fall apart a century ago not because human knowledge stopped advancing, but because of widespread governance and policy failures. As 2016 starts, we must focus on adapting governance, in all of its economic and political dimensions, to the 21st century, so our resources and knowledge produce inclusive progress, not violent conflict.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the relationship between geopolitical change and the evolution of French grand strategy from Iraq to Libya. While the European Union (EU) and the bilateral relationship with Germany continue to feature high in French grand strategy, France has in the space of just a few years substantially strengthened its Atlantic connection (with the US, Britain and NATO) and upgraded its relationship with other European powers - particularly Russia. It is argued that the driving reason behind this diversifying trend is the weakening of the US-led West, both globally and in Europe. If US military power laid the foundations of order in and around Europe, America's shift of geostrategic attention eastwards is underpinning a political destructuring of Europe and its broader neighbourhood. For one thing, Europe is moving towards a more multipolar balance, as evidenced by Russia's resurgence in the east and southeast, Turkey's drifting from the EU and growing influence in the continent's southeast and, crucially, Germany's increasing influence over the direction of the EU. For another, France's so-called axis of strategic priority (Northern Africa, the Sahel, Levant, Horn of Africa/Red Sea and the Gulf) is characterised by mounting instability and increasing penetration by external powers. Against this backdrop, the special relationship with Germany and the EU are insufficient to guarantee French influence in Europe, the stability of Europe's broader neighbourhood or France's aspirations to global power. In an increasingly uncertain global and regional environment, France is seeking to reconcile a deeper politico-military relationship with Britain (and the United States), a special relationship with Germany in the politico-economic sphere and strong ties with Russia, thereby positioning itself as a sort of spider in an increasingly multipolar European geopolitical web.

| Summary/Abstract |
Lagos-In her song "One Kilometer, One Language," Nigerian pop star Evi Edna Ogholi captures Africa's linguistic complexity. In pidgin English, she raps, "One kilometer means another language, half a kilometer means another language … na which one we go speak?" According to a 2010 UNESCO report, the number of indigenous languages in Africa ranges from 1,000 to 2,500. After the 19th century scramble for Africa, colonial governments also overlaid three other languages-the English that became dominant in West and East Africa, the French of West and Central Africa, and the Portuguese spoken mainly in southern Africa. Post-independence Africa is still tied to these languages. Though there have been calls for the promotion of indigenous languages, the reality on the ground may force African countries to rethink their language policy, and by implication, their entire economic, social, and cultural environment.

| Summary/Abstract |
In contemporary West Asia, terrorism normally brings to our attention the mindless violence committed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria [ISIS] and elsewhere in the region and beyond. In addition bomb blasts in Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Turkey, and growing violence in Syria and Lebanon remind us of indiscriminate terrorism. Many have condemned terrorist attacks on US and French marines in Lebanon in the early 1980’s when peace keeping forces from these and other countries were stationed in and around Beirut soon after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in June 1982.
