| Summary/Abstract |
This article tries to look into the question, to what extent have British universities become the new recruiting grounds of Islamism, if at all, making a shift from Mosques. It argues that both Islam (the religion itself) and Islamism (the political ideology) coexist at the university level. At universities both moderate thinkers and Islamists are invited to give their speeches, a small few of whom openly advocate terrorism or what Islamists would call "martyrdom." The article moves away from the traditional reactive explanations and tries to give both an active and reactive explanation as to what causes Islamism in Britain among British Muslim university students and analyzes the causes within the broader framework of identity issues and socioeconomic marginalization. It has been advised that social policy workers in Britain dealing with ethnic minorities collaborate with security officials while dealing with the problem of Islamism.

| Summary/Abstract |
China's public disagreement with Russia's actions during the Russian-Georgian War as well as China's decision not to support Russia's recognition of South Ossetia and Abkhazia demonstrate that despite their partnership, China and Russia pursue different strategies to gain power and influence. But is this to the detriment of their future relations? Drawing from over 800 Chinese news articles written after the war, I show that while China showed disapproval of Russia's actions internationally, domestically it used the war to highlight the escalating tensions between the East and West, and took a strategic stand on the side of the East.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyzes Brazilian grand strategy under President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. During Lula's eight years in office, he pursued a multitiered grand strategy aimed at hastening the transition from U.S. and Western hegemony to a multipolar order more favorable to Brazilian interests. Lula did so by emphasizing three diplomatic strategies: soft balancing, coalition building, and seeking to position Brazil as the leader of a more united South America. During Lula's time in office, this strategy successfully raised Brazil's profile and increased its diplomatic flexibility, but the country still faces several potent strategic dilemmas that could complicate or undermine its geopolitical ascent.

| Summary/Abstract |
Bioterrorism has been a growing security concern even though this topic does not receive as much attention as other topics such as nuclear proliferation. In order to understand the bioterrorist threat, this article will try to address the reasons behind the lack of bioterrorist attacks in recent years and the factors that are eroding these same restrictions. Finally, it is also important to know which terrorist groups are more willing to perform bioterrorist attacks.

| Summary/Abstract |
Right conduct and its opposite is a twin-peaked concept universal among humans. This concept is key to the political utility of military force because it helps police the potential chaos and anarchy that lurk as a possibility in the very nature of war. But, standards of right conduct in practice are not rigid. Ethics are apt to be situational and consequentialist rather than absolute. Some strategic disadvantage tends to flow from moral disadvantage, but a moral deficit alone is rarely, if ever, strategically fatal.

| Summary/Abstract |
How effective are parliamentary democracies at sending coercive signals and orchestrating them into coherent messages? Are parliamentary democracies any better at doing this than presidential democracies? In order to answer these questions, the research project uses an in-depth analysis of the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas War as a case study. This article seeks to determine how effective the United Kingdom was at sending coercive signals and orchestrating them into coherent messages. In general we observe that the United Kingdom suffered from many of the same problems in executing a coercive strategy as presidential governments do.
