| Summary/Abstract |
There appears to be an everincreasing demand to make armour systems more light-weight and less bulky. Armoured fighting vehicles are expected to be lighter and smaller, due to the ever demanding requirement for better stratetic mobility. Modern armour ceramics are very strong materials in fact, they can be significantly stronger that the strongest steels available. This is a useful property in armour where the projectile or shaped charge jet applied a compressive load to the material.

With some countries investing in defence while others don't, the Latin American region faces times of change in the military balance. Combat aviation is on the lead of this change, as the high prices of contemporary fighters make it difficult for politicians to agree on the required investments.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Embraer EMB-314 Super TUCANO fills a unique niche in the military aerospace market in that it combines the small airframe of a turboprop trainer with the advanced avoinics and weaponry of more advanced jets. This makes it a very cost-effective trainer that quite easily doubles as a light attack and counter-insurgency aircraft something which helps explain its recent export success, especially in Latin America.

| Summary/Abstract |
All along the development history of Armoured Fighting Vehicles a recurring theme has been represented by discussions and experiments about the technical feasibility and operational convenience of light platform however carrying the same armament as a contemporary Main Battle Tank. In particular, military authorities and industry alike have devoted cosiderable efforts to the search for a light vehicle able to perform armoured recce roles or/and provide fire support to mechanised infantry units not accompanied by MBTs.

| Summary/Abstract |
Concerns about nuclear proliferation have led to a new wave of enthusiasm for far-reaching nuclear disarmament schemes. According to their proponents, the United States must take the lead in generating a new global disarmament dynamic, including withdrawing the remaining US tactical nuclear weapons from Europe. Such a step will not spell the end of extended deterrence, yet its drawbacks would far outweigh its gains.

| Summary/Abstract |
In these times, many phenomena can quickly have ripple effects around the world, while borders keep losing their significance. Today, local problems may turn into global threats in an unbelievably short time. The clash of civilisation scenarios which have become widespread especially after the attacks of -/11 increasingly preoccupy the international community. Turkey has been closely affected by all these developments because of its strategic location straddling three continents, three seas and different cultures.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the period following the end of the Cold War, the potential threats and risks to the security of Turkey were significantly different in nature to what it had become accustomed to. While the new world order was leaning towards globalisation, not only was there a change in the nature of the threat to turkish security, but also the directions from which potential threats could be expected were different.
