Summary/Abstract |
The legacy of the Great Patriotic War, particularly the June 1941 ‘surprise’ attack, remains alive and well in contemporary Russia’s foreign and defense policies. Most notably, it serves as the basis for contemporary Russian ideas about ‘strategic deterrence’ and features as an underlying motive of Russia’s relationship with NATO. Even if the idea of a US/NATO initiation of war on the Russian Federation seems absurd, the fact this idea has remained alive and well for more than seven decades would seem to indicate that efforts to change this mindset, perhaps by revisiting the German invasion and demonstrating why a ‘21st century Barbarossa’ is indeed absurd, should be prioritized as part of any effort to improve NATO-Russia relations.

Summary/Abstract |
This article contends that the experience of the early twenty-first century has highlighted a long-term systemic weakness in the formulation and execution of Western military strategy. The need for strategists to focus on people, culture and society is not just a counterinsurgency requirement; rather it should be an indispensible and enduring strand in all strategic calculations. There is a need to immigrate the thinking, methods, products and approach of anthropology into the formulation and execution of strategy. This is no easy task and the article identifies how this could be done through doctrine, education and practice.

Summary/Abstract |
This essay addresses two questions. It first asks what happens to security practices when they take species life as their referent object. It then asks what happens to security practices which take species life as their referent object when the very understanding of species life undergoes transformation and change. In the process of addressing these two questions the essay provides an exegesis of Michel Foucault's analytic of biopolitics as a dispositif de sécurité and contrasts this account of security with that given by traditional geopolitical security discourses. The essay also theorises beyond Foucault when it interrogates the impact in the twentieth century of the compression of morbidity on populations and the molecular revolution on what we now understand life to be. It concludes that 'population', which was the empirical referent of early biopolitics, is being superseded by 'heterogenesis'. This serves as the empirical referent for the recombinant biopolitics of security in the molecular age.

Summary/Abstract |
The start of this century was marked by an objective need to review Canada's defense policy. The 9/11 events were a catalyst in that process. Taking into account the colossal interdependence that existed between Canada and its southern neighbor in all spheres, it was obvious that the terrorist attack on the United States would have a profound impact on all aspects of Canada's life, including its defense and security policies.

Summary/Abstract |
As the world’s second-largest economy, China is set to gradually shape and reconstruct the international order. In 2013, the Chinese leadership announced the “One Belt, One Road” initiative as a strategic construct of Chinese peripheral influence and regional integration. As a great power, China needs to take the initiative to go beyond its responsibility as a “developing nation”. While China and the United States share many common interests and highly interdependent economic relations, a new world order is viable only with the cooperation of China and the United States.

Summary/Abstract |
Not so long ago, it was common to af?rm that China was the most important development in Africa's politics and international relations since the end of the Cold War. Now, after an upgrade, China is commonly held to be the most important development for Africa in the twenty-?rst century. In a relatively short period of time -Beijing's Year of Africa in ???? was also the year when China's relations with the continent acquired global visibility thanks in large part to the third Forum on China Africa Cooperation- the theme of China-Africa has been catapulted out of the mostly overlooked margins and into the conspicuous mainstream of all kinds of attention. The tour of Tanzania, South Africa and the Republic of Congo by China's President Xi Jinping in March ???? and that of US President Barack Obama to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania some three months later stimulated more attention. It demonstrated the diverse varieties of critical and celebratory interest in media and social media coverage, as well as a growing body of China-Africa ?lms and ?ction.

Summary/Abstract |
In recent years, the Chinese leadership has increasingly turned its attention towards the maritime domain. This article discusses Beijing's latest attempts to secure China's maritime energy supply chain across the Indian Ocean region and the South China Sea through which the majority of its seaborne energy imports transit. As China increasingly relies on the seaborne energy trade, Beijing has come to attach more importance to the security of the sea lines of communication (SLOCs) and has a growing strategic interest in ensuring unimpeded access in these two areas. In this paper, the author discusses Beijing's efforts in the context of China's maritime power aspirations, particularly the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative which is promoted by the current Chinese President, Xi Jinping. The author argues that Beijing's latest maritime agenda will be hampered by the strategic distrust and political risks China faces in the Asian region.

Summary/Abstract |
Drawing on a Polanyian analysis of the land question, this article aims to analyse both Western and Indigenous cosmologies of Abya Yala-the name that indigenous peoples give to the American continent-to understand the relationship between human beings and land and nature. These cosmologies are at the heart of the way in which two distinct societies construct their regional space, one from 'above', the other from 'below', and they are therefore key to understanding today's climate change problématique. Following this nexus it is argued that, since the end of the Cold War, a new regional 'double-movement', unleashed by the quest for land and natural resources has been in the making. This is a superstructural or legal battle between Western transnational regime-making and a law that originated at the 'centre of the Earth'. The article explains both regionalisms and the dialectical interaction between them and demonstrates that Karl Polanyi's legacy remains relevant for the 21st century.

Summary/Abstract |
Future of our planet depends upon the development of Asia. Russia is a keystone in forging a relationship between the European civilisation and Asian development. Although prospects of development in Asia are not good, the potential for growth is there despite 60 to 70 per cent of it's population being extremely poor and lacking in technological skills. Therefore, what is required is a long term global perspective for the development of solutions of Asia's problem.

Summary/Abstract |
Different aspects of China's "domestic" and "foreign" image are analysed, along with particulars of how the image of today's China is shaped and perceived. Now, as China becomes an increasingly strong and influential power in international relations, the "image factor" is acquiring ever more importance for Beijing.
