| Summary/Abstract |
In the Middle East today, Iran is trying to upgrade its status to a dominant power by demonstrating an ability to penetrate and influence various regional theatres. Meanwhile, despite being the sole global power with considerable military presence in the region, America's strategic initiatives in the Middle East are frustrated by Iran's behaviour.

| Summary/Abstract |
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization's nuclear forces were central to deterence and defence duting the Cold War. Their future role is far less clear in the dramatically changed security environment since its end. Dispite concerns about the long term evolution of Russia and China, the major threats to national and international security today stem not from confrontations between great powers, but from proliferation and terrorism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Over the past decade there has been an Arctic revival of sorts in Canadian politics. Recent events have boosted the region's visibility on the political landscape and the north has found a new prominence in government policy. The media's reaction to the dispute with Denmark over tiny Hans Island, the aggressive claims to the continental shelf, and the increasing concern generated by global warming's melting of the Arctic icecap have all contributed to the Arctic's return to national prominence.
