| Summary/Abstract |
Through the lens of the new institutional economics development is represented as a process of cultural and institutional transformation in which informal social institutions that hinder the operation of market forces are dismantled and replaced with formalised, liberal institutional frameworks to facilitate rational economic activity. The World Bank has deployed these arguments to legitimise reforms aimed at reshaping the values and conduct of postcolonial citizenries to facilitate entrepreneurship and competitiveness. To deconstruct this discourse, the article points to its underlying contradictions; specifically, to the way that the idealised formal rationality of impersonal markets is necessarily subsumed in practice within the substantive irrationalities of capitalist development. Consequently the informal social relations that the Bank deems instances of cultural atavism and a barrier to competitiveness arise as intrinsic features of global capitalism. Seemingly impervious to reform, informalised populations appear as objects to be restrained or removed by the state. Coercion, I argue, emerges as the inevitable concomitant of competitiveness.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the presence of extremist online communities on the Russian social network VKontakte following the tightening by Russian federal аuthorities of internet counter-extremism policies and censorship. Extremist communities were detected using linguistic markers for extremist attitudes and radical violence. The study of socio-demographic data and network metrics of Islamist extremist communities reveals some general tendencies in the Russian context: a majority of female participants, a highly decentralised community network structure, radical Salafism as the mainstream ideology and covert proselytisation through the discussion of Islamic theology and lifestyle issues that are not in themselves extremist.

| Summary/Abstract |
A YEAR AGO, on March 13, 2013, Archbishop of Buenos Aires Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio was elected head of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) and, therefore, head of the Vatican city-state (officially the Holy See) as Pope Francis. These twelve months were brimming with comments on what had been done and what was expected from the new Pope. The wide range of views and opinions coming from Russia, the U.S., Western Europe, and Latin America stretch from pragmatic and realistic to extremist and radical.

| Summary/Abstract |
In order to mount a nuclear attack, a terrorist group would have to
surmount a daunting series of obstacles. Although the probability of
nuclear terrorism is still quite low, the potential damage could be
so catastrophic that it merits attention. Moreover, a nuclear attack
on a capital city could conceivably decapitate the central government.
The prospect of strategic nuclear terrorism could be an attractive
alternative to extremist and terrorist groups that have virtually no
hope of achieving their objectives through conventional political
means. Various extremist and terrorist subcultures have contemplated
this course of action. In order to avert the consequences of this
scenario, the system of the continuity of government should be
strengthened.
