Summary/Abstract |
A recent history of internal conflict has left much of Yemen’s infrastructure and healthcare system destroyed. An already-dire situation, in which Yemeni people face daily challenges from food insecurity, lack of sanitation infrastructure, continuing conflict and regular outbreaks of infectious disease, is exacerbating the spread of Covid-19. With only half of Yemeni hospitals and medical facilities in full working condition, the country is in desperate need of medical equipment, healthcare workers and money to ensure conditions do not deteriorate further. This presents a stark picture of the challenges faced by healthcare systems degraded by conflict. Infectious disease outbreaks that cannot be contained in such contexts threaten global health security on a wider scale and must be addressed at the source.

Summary/Abstract |
The current outbreak of ebola in West Africa has been widely covered in the global media, as the latest example of a health epidemic that can quickly spread across and beyond countries. While drugs development is needed to counter the virus, Jennifer Cole argues that any successful long-term approach to fighting epidemics must be based on a deeper socio-cultural understanding of the dynamics that underpin fragile healthcare systems.

Summary/Abstract |
Digital communication leaves traces that can lead back to the person who initiated the communication or their location at the time. Jennifer Cole and Alexandra Stickings explore the challenges this brings for platforms that claim to offer anonymous crime reporting, and ask what can be done to assure members of the public that their identity can still be protected.

Summary/Abstract |
Russia’s application of a sophisticated hybrid strategy and the rise of Daesh (also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS) have been drivers for change in the complex security environment of the twenty-first century. While the significance of these threats does not preclude the conventional aspect of national defence planning, it does complicate societal preparedness. Vlasta Zekulić, Christopher Godwin and Jennifer Cole examine the relevance of NATO resilience policies and propose a synchronised approach to crisis decision-making, civil preparedness planning and national and collective defence to ensure they are balanced, mutually supportive and incur manageable cost.

Summary/Abstract |
As the meaning of security has expanded well beyond its simple conception of inter-state war and peace, domestic resilience now falls under its ambit. Events in Britain at the turn of the twenty-first century - such as the fuel strike, foot and mouth crisis and catastrophic flooding - highlighted these new imperatives. Jennifer Cole looks at what has been done to shore up the UK's institutional architecture for all-hazards response, and what the future might hold.
