Getting it wrong: extremism and moderation in Islam after Gaza / Crooke, Alastair   Journal Article
Crooke, Alastair Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Alastair Crooke argues that the West has got it wrong. The template of 'supporting moderates' whilst weakening extremists is both simplistic and flawed. The recent Israel-Hamas conflict is just the latest expression of the use of a template doomed to fail.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Both Israel and Hamas claimed victory in the aftermath of the three-week war. Israel sought to re-establish its regional deterrence and undermine Hamas; and Hamas hoped to improve the terms of the uneasy calm with Israel. But the war may have created some new opportunities for progress through diplomacy, even though the conflict appears more intractable than ever.

Navy in Russia's resurgence / Willett, Lee   Journal Article
Willett, Lee Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The 'resurgence' of a newly confident Russia has alarmed observers, some of whom talk of a 'new cold war'. The political and military role of the Russian Navy bears examination in the context of Russia's aims internationally. A resurgent Russia - and Russian fleet - poses tough strategic questions for the UK, particularly when the present and future capability of the Royal Navy is increasingly questioned.

Summary/Abstract The siege of Tobruk in 1941, until its relief by the 8th Army in December 1941, involved an extensive British supply effort by sea.

0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract The inter-war years were pivotal in determining the course of the Second World War. What role did RUSI play during this period? Its output reflected a worthy but mixed effort. But the Institute could do little to influence the larger political currents in Britain and abroad as the world once again headed for catastrophe.
