Summary/Abstract |
Since the 1990s, the threats posed by the Western Balkans to European security have greatly diminished. While the Balkans no longer represents a serious security threat to Europe or to each other, the region has not been able to form an integrated regional partnership. The process of integration initiated more than a decade ago with the cooperation of the United States, NATO, and EU has reached an impasse. It is necessary for the international partners and the regional governments to reinvigorate the integration process and to help bind the region more closely as a cohesive unit within the European collective security framework.

Summary/Abstract |
Despite the importance of space to modern life, the public has lost interest in its most human aspect, exploration. This is because spacefaring nations, and especially the USA, have clung on to outmoded cold war ways of thinking about it. The US attitude of 'command' over its international partners will no longer work and we must instead adopt a new, inclusive paradigm in the 'wiki' mould. With different countries leading different facets of a global, cooperative endeavour, and contributions reciprocated in ways valuable to all participants (e.g. through access to know-how or capacity building) there is a real possibility of advancing beyond near-Earth orbit. Keeping the ISS open for the training of future long-duration crews would be the first step in a unified human drive to the Moon, involving first a robotic village and then an international base, with Mars an ultimate goal. It the USA were to reorient its thinking towards such a project it would demonstrate true leadership.
