| Summary/Abstract |
As the end of the British combat role in Helmand approaches, the Afghan Local Police are coming under increasing scrutiny. In the time remaining, British and US mentors are working to reinforce this fragile pillar of the Afghan National Security Forces, knowing that the potential for dramatic success is balanced against the risk of serious failure.

| Summary/Abstract |
Following the liberation of Mosul, it is now possible to examine how local activists evolved into a coherent resistance movement during three years of occupation. In this article, Michael Stevens discusses how this evolution, particularly in non-lethal and information activities, provides lessons in how to build local, sustainable resilience in populations that are vulnerable to adversary narratives, with potential for global application.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the remote regions of Afghanistan, the use of community defence forces to supplement the stabilisation effort has had mixed results. Effective local governance is a key pre- requisite for successful community defence, but the weakness or absence of local institutions, and the lack of support from central government, has often meant training teams must spend time and resources building the appropriate framework from scratch. It is this link between security and governance, however, that makes community defence a possible model for the future.
