| Summary/Abstract |
The withdrawal of NATO forces from Afghanistan in 2014 is likely to be followed by a civil war between a predominantly non-Pashtun security apparatus and Pakistan-backed Taliban forces. As we confront this reality, we would be wise to look closely at the experience of the Soviet Union following its occupation of Afghanistan in the late 1980s. The prime lessons from that ill-fated moment are the need to provide continued economic and military support to the leadership in Kabul and to obtain the support of Pakistan, while maintaining sufficient intelligence and covert action infrastructure on both sides of the frontier the two countries share. A sustainable relationship with Pakistan is critical today because of the country's important role in any political solution in Afghanistan and the significant risks to the international community posed by Pakistan's own instability.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict does not date from today or the 1967 war; it goes back to the 1930s and 1940s when the Zionist movement stepped up its efforts to bring Jewish immigrants to Palestine, thus setting the stage for a future confrontation with the Palestinian Arabs. This confrontation had its full expression in the 1948 war, as a result of which the state of Israel was created and more than two-thirds of the Palestinians were uprooted from their homeland and became refugees. The international community failed then and has continued to fail so far to resolve this problem, and General Assembly Resolution 194 remains largely a symbol of the Palestinians' demand to be allowed to return to their homes and lands in what became known as Israel. Since then, any discussion revolving around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict switches immediately to a discussion of the Palestinians' right to return

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the end of World War Two, no region in the world has been like the Middle East which has suffered from unending wars, conflicts and volatilities. The Palestinian issue that has lasted for over 70 years is always a bleeding and unrecoverable trauma in the Middle East. This year has seen consistent conflicts in Gaza between armed groups in Palestine, such as Hamas, on one hand and Israel on the other. Meanwhile, the complicated and confusing situation in other hotspots, such as Syria, Libya and Yemen, has continued to deteriorate, with intermittent wars, making the process of political solution more difficult. Following the change of government in Algeria and Sudan, many are worried about a looming, spreading and intense turmoil, or, even worse, an evolution like the “Arab Spring” which erupted in West Asia and North Africa in 2011.

| Summary/Abstract |
The phrase "Obstacles to successful negotiation" has a somewhat distant ring to it. I was a little taken aback when I first read it. It's an abstraction, and far too hopeful at that. Obstacles could in theory, be removed. Maybe someday they will be. But, for now, anyone who knows the reality of what is happening on the ground in the south Herbon Hills isn't likely to think in terms of obstacles.

| Summary/Abstract |
Ever since the deterioration of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process following the outbreak of the second intifada in late 2000, it has been widely acknowledge that relations between the Israeli and Palestinian political establishments have become strained almost to the breaking point. However, far less attention has been directed to the Palestinian-Arab-Israel (PAI) parties whose transformation and pivotal role in the social and political dynamics of the conflicts should not be underestimated.

| Summary/Abstract |
The decision on the declaration of Palestinian independence in Algeria in 1988 opened up an authentic opportunity to reach a solution to the most complicated conflict know to history. After the Madrid conference in 1990 the chances for a solution were reinforced, and it become possible to consider the prospective resolution of the conflict as something realistic, viable and inclusive of the various rival parties in the Middle East.

This article discusses why Turkey has failed to propose an effective political solution of the Kurdish problem. It is argued that Turkey's failure to propose an effective political agenda is the main explanation of why Partiya Karkeran Kurdistan (PKK) insurgency has been rampant for so long. Turkey's commitment to militaristic methods worsened the Kurdish problem by creating deeper social problems. Furthermore, it is argued that the explanations tendered also point out the important factors that may affect the fate of any political agenda on the Kurdish problem, including that of the recent Kurdish initiative of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government.

| Summary/Abstract |
The phenomenon of so-called failed States poses many challenges for the international community and international law as such. Are such States still international subjects or do they lose their legal personalities? How may respect for the human rights of people living in such States be ensured? What can be done about this failed States problem? Here I will first present the notion of failed States and their characteristic features and then add a few words on the Failed States Index which is the most common instrument used when delving into the failed States issue. The last section will concentrate on the solution to State failure, with special emphasis on a bottom-up approach. In my opinion this solution is highly preferable compared to the others suggested
