| Summary/Abstract |
The regime of nuclear non-proliferation depends on more than the cost-benefit calculation. Instead, trust plays a significant role in both maintaining relationships and underwriting shared values. Understanding how trust is built and strengthened is vital as the nuclear landscape changes.

| Summary/Abstract |
The UK has long viewed itself as a core player on the international stage, whilst maintaining some degree of autonomy from both Europe and the US. But plummeting budgets and shifting public opinion may mean that the forthcoming Strategic Defence Review is the beginning of a more co-operative and limited defence posture.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Mumbai attacks have become a symbol of modern terrorism. The gunmen's improvisation, technological superiority and connection to the outside world meant the siege at eight different locations lasted sixty hours. Crucially, the fidayeen had no expectation of survival. The lessons of Mumbai need to be urgently understood before this kind of attack becomes the template for future acts of terrorism.

| Summary/Abstract |
Britain's nuclear deterrent remains under keen examination as both the general election and defence review loom. In an American perspective on the issue, Franklin Miller argues that not only is a deterrent capability necessary, but also that the UK's defence will only be assured by continuous submarine-based capability: the alternatives do not stand up to scrutiny.

| Summary/Abstract |
While Nepal has made progress towards a lasting peace since the conclusion of its civil war in 2006, significant threats to stability remain. In particular, the integration of Maoist rebels into a new, inclusive national army remains perilous. The state is still fundamentally patrimonial - and unless this and other political and economic grievances are resolved, Nepal risks sliding back into violence.

| Summary/Abstract |
Nuclear arms control is once again a major international issue. The Obama administration has taken a number of important steps to reinvigorate the process, including a significant departure from the previous US declaratory posture. It is also clear that Obama hopes to move disarmament forward, and include tactical and reserve stockpiles alongside cuts in strategic arsenals. But crucial questions remain for the major nuclear powers. The process will not be simple nor the answers easy.

| Summary/Abstract |
The United Kingdom has maintained unbroken nuclear weapons patrols since 1968. The rationale for this doctrine of continuous deterrence has been based on several pillars that are irrelevant in today's environment. Rather than an absolute need for continuous deterrent, there is instead a great opportunity for Britain to take the lead as the most progressive of the nuclear weapons states by reducing the readiness and size of its strategic force.

| Summary/Abstract |
With an evolving and increasingly integrated range of domestic threats, reform of the UK police is long overdue. Margaret Gilmore investigates calls for a smaller number of larger forces, and examines the status of the Association of Chief Police Officers - an increasingly influential private company, which its own senior officers believe would benefit from more independent oversight

| 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.
