| Summary/Abstract |
A new, twenty-first-century design of the size of USS Midway with an air wing up to sixty-five aircraft, whether conventionally or nuclear powered, could complement larger nuclear flattops while still incorporating rugged survivability and being capable of independent operations—and could be built quicker and cheaper and in more shipyards.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses the Spanish experience in military operations abroad, studying the functions it carried out in order to demonstrate how expeditionary experience has shaped military change processes. Using a database built from the Spanish Army’s online missions register, as well as from 23 personal interviews conducted with Spanish servicemen, this research focuses on how the Spanish Army has changed through its overseas deployments and how its organisational culture has evolved. The results obtained show a tangible transformation, which has modified procedures, military equipment, and operational functions. There have also been intangible transformations, reflected in the mentality and awareness of military personnel, readying them for deployment anywhere and anytime.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Northeast India, ethnic and religious conversions may be intimately associated. In the Assam–Meghalaya borderlands, conversions to Christianity throughout the twentieth century introduced a new factor in the interplay of spatial movements and cultural mutations, without fundamentally disrupting its basic principles. It is these complex dynamics that are described in this article through the history of three localities. Epidemics, religious conversions and cultural segmentation largely account for the present distribution of ethnicities.

| Summary/Abstract |
In their 2018 article, Diehl and Druckman address several hurdles that may hinder the effectiveness of multiple mission peace operations. One of these hurdles is the extent to which two or more missions are compatible. Based on the idea that similar missions have positively reinforcing effects, we propose alternative indicators of the compatibility concept in the context of nine types of UN missions conducted within the same peace operation. We code all missions in each of 70 UN peace operations (1948–2016) on twelve characteristics, such as whether the mission could be considered impartial or biased, whether it allows for an easy or hard exit, and coordination with IOs or the host government. A multidimensional scaling analysis is performed to evaluate the proximity of these missions: missions closer in proximity are regarded as being more compatible than those farther away. The proximity scores are used to develop the three compatibility indicators based on different theoretical logics. We then apply these indicators in some preliminary statistical analyses and also compare two peace operations with different compatibility characteristics to illustrate on-the-ground relevance of the indicators. Methodological issues concerning validity, next steps in the research, and policy implications are discussed.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Onitsha, an important commercial center in Nigeria, success as a merchant was the usual route for women who aspired to elite status in the period before the 1930s. In 1928, a school for girls was opened by the Holy Rosary Sisters, a Catholic order created especially by the bishop in charge of Onitsha Diocese. The opening of this convent school in Onitsha heralded a major transformation in the lives of Onitsha women, marking the transition between two epochs with regard to how women achieved elite status. From the mid-1930s a new class of elite women began to appear in Onitsha, all products of mission education; this transition from traders to teachers marks a major shift in the lives and roles of elite women. The colonial government contributed to this transformation with policies that undermined women's ascendancy in the market by placing men in leadership positions there.
