| Summary/Abstract |
Since 9/11, the security investment in major sporting events has risen as terrorism remains at the top of the list of risks. Like other Games before it, London 2012 will not only have to deter threats to the event, but also ensure a lasting legacy for the national security infrastructure. The UK must embrace an inclusive, integrated approach that incorporates the best lessons of previous Olympic Games, and contributes to the improvement of major event security for future host nations.

| Summary/Abstract |
For decades, European security has been assured by a grand, Anglo-American inspired political and economic project on the continent. Today, there is a risk that the old certainties are unravelling. In a previous RUSI Journal article, Luis Simón and James Rogers warned of the new risks in Europe; now, the authors offer a strategy for Britain to retain its vital place at the crux of an open, liberal European system.

| Summary/Abstract |
Divergent responses to the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan and the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in 2010 have raised tensions in Northeast Asia. China's enabling response appeared to write North Korea a blank cheque for further provocations; but Beijing has in fact been constrained by fear of destabilisation of the Kim regime. The incidents have prompted a reappraisal of bilateral relations within the region - in particular, the South Korea-US alliance - and revealed the continuing importance of the Sino-US relationship in Korean peninsular security affairs.

| Summary/Abstract |
In one sense, the London Olympic Games are already under attack: dozens of suspected fraudsters were arrested as tickets went on sale on 15 March 2011. But there are other major risks identified, including terrorism. Now, as construction of the venues nears completion and security plans move towards the operational stage, Margaret Gilmore interviews the key players in the efforts to secure the event, and assesses the risks to the Games and the security arrangements being put in place to counter them.

| Summary/Abstract |
The risk of cyber-warfare is growing. With a low-level technological requirement, it is a form of warfare that can be prosecuted by military and civilian, state and non-state actors alike. Its anonymity makes it difficult to trace perpetrators, complicating inter-state relations. But cyberspace is not yet an active battleground for cyber-warfare, and could still be amenable to conflict prevention and restraint measures. The time has come to adopt an 'arms control approach' to cyber-security.

| Summary/Abstract |
The new generation of servicemen and women are better informed, more opinionated and more comfortable in the modern information environment. Ensuring that they are equipped with the conceptual component of their professional toolkit, as well as the physical and moral, is a vital challenge, particularly as it requires looking to the future's rather than the past's way of doing business.

| Summary/Abstract |
In late 2010, the Japanese government issued a new defence policy. Central to it was a maritime conception of Japan's security. As an island nation, its naval posture has long been important. Today, sea communications and unhindered access to international markets and resources remain the drivers of its strategy of maritime deterrence-one strikingly similar to nineteenth-century Britain.

| Summary/Abstract |
The legacy of Gulf War Syndrome led to fears that the deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan since 2003 would have an effect on the mental health of the UK armed forces. Contrary to many people's expectations, deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan has not led to an increase in mental health problems and the overall number of personnel with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder is low. But there have been some costs: reservists and combat personnel are more at risk of mental health problems, and alcohol misuse continues to be rife amongst regulars.

| Summary/Abstract |
Austria, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland share a commitment to military non-alliance as a common Cold War legacy. But divergent threat perceptions and interpretations of neutrality have shaped their subsequent military transformation, leading to co-operation inside the EU and with NATO for most and a focus on homeland defence or domestic tasks for some.

| Summary/Abstract |
For China, the South China Sea is an integral part of its political and economic strategy and wellbeing. Yet its increasingly bold territorial claims there have raised tensions with neighbouring states, as well as the US - the architect of the region's security order. Legal wrangling and military confrontation over the last year show that, rather than Taiwan or Korea, it may be the issue of the South China Sea that inflames Sino-US tensions.

| Summary/Abstract |
We are witnessing a series of revolutions and uprisings of a pace, connectivity and breadth for which the only parallel in modern history is 1989. But these aspirant and actual revolutions are incomplete, uneven and unpredictable. Shashank Joshi argues that long-held assumptions about the Western trilemma in the Middle East - the choice between democracy, stability and pro-Western foreign policy - must now be urgently re-evaluated.

| Summary/Abstract |
Australia's navy has long been at the core of its defence posture, designed to secure its enormous littoral neighbourhood. The focus of all Australian military effects is domestic and, as such, jointery is at its heart. Chief of the Royal Australian Navy, Admiral Russell Crane, analyses the new White Paper and its implications for force structure, and personnel sustainability and management.
