| Summary/Abstract |
The challenge presented by a nuclear North Korea causes angst, and not only on account of the immediate and specific risks for the Korean peninsula or for the region of North Asia. The North Korean problem defies solution apart from consideration of the larger context within which nuclear danger is created in the present century.This larger context includes the debatable efficacy of deterrence, the degree of stress on the global nonproliferation regime and the requirement for leadership in nuclear arms reductions that falls to the United States and Russia.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2002, facing a fast-rising tide of Afghan opium, the Bush Administration's response seemed puzzling. Apparently, the CIA was well aware their Northern Alliance partners had financed themselves by selling opium and herion. The labs and store houses of Afghanistan would have been sensible bombing targets if Afghanistan were to be made anew.

| Summary/Abstract |
Optimistic outlooks have frequently been posited for Africa, often perfaced with statements that all that is needed is better governance,free markets, an end to corruption, or some other reform that is easy to say but all-too-often nearly impossible to implement.The unfortunate truth is that it is possible some parts of Africa may never be at peace.

| Summary/Abstract |
A country-specific way of war and a country-specific strategic culture have long been a topic of debate. While the twentieth century, which witnessed two World Wars and a number of limited conflicts with a way of war characterized by conflict between nations, the same can not be said today when globalization and the rapid transmission of knowledge have amplified and accelerated the learning process of all militaries.
