| Summary/Abstract |
The effectiveness of nuclear weapons in deterring war lies not just in their
ability to cause destruction but in the certainty that it cannot be avoided if
they are used. Conventional warfare is also so horrific that opponents of
deterrence have never convinced society that retaining nuclear weapons
is a greater evil than running the risks of renouncing them. As conflicts
erupt without warning, the end of the Cold War does not justify unilateralism.
A strategic nuclear deterrent, like conventional Armed Forces in peacetime,
is an essential insurance policy against unpredictable dangers. A
successor to Trident will not breach the Non-Proliferation Treaty, and it is
right to apply different standards to dictatorships and democracies where
nuclear weapons are concerned. Most of the current arguments about the
British deterrent, including its degree of independence from the United
States, were debated in depth in the early 1960s when the V-Bombers were
scheduled for replacement by Polaris. The Chiefs of Staff, under Lord
Mountbatten, were adamant that the safety of the country and its freedom
of action would be seriously undermined without an independently
controlled strategic deterrent. This view remains sound, irrespective of the
demise of the Soviet Union.

| Summary/Abstract |
Experts estimate that about 80 different insurgencies are active around the world. Malaya, French lndochina, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, South Africa, Algeria, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, the Congo, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Libya, the Balkans, Xiniiang, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Chechnya have all seen the use of fixed and rotary wing aircraft in operations against insurgents in the past. Usage was limited in most cases because of the shortage of helicopters in the inventories of most military and para military forces barring perhaps the US and the Soviets, and not because their unique capabilities were not apparent.

| Summary/Abstract |
Countries at civil war differ across a number of dimensions that are often used to account for onset, duration or severity. A relatively understudied dimension is the role of institutional arrangements on the severity of civil wars. We argue that federal systems put in place the mechanisms to make civil wars shorter but bloodier because they often allow for independent militia, taxation, and infrastructural development. Federal systems also make more credible a declaration of independence. These factors make civil wars looks much more like conventional warfare than their guerilla-based counterpart. We rely on the cases of Yugoslavia and the United States to build and describe our arguments and then we test our arguments against cross national data from the 20th century civil wars. Our results provide insights into the role of institutional arrangements on the management of internal conflicts and suggest that further research could make an important contribution to our understanding of civil wars.

| Summary/Abstract |
Army personnel trained and equipped for conventional warfare find
themselves at a disadvantage when deployed for sub-conventional operations.
The advancement in technology, changing warfare concepts, induction of
sophisticated weapons and support equipments and need to handle far too
many variables demand deliberate efforts in ensuring recruitment of desired
human resource and their training in the army to suit the requirements of
conventional as well as sub-conventional warfare. This is essential since
possibility of conventional war can not be totally ruled out and at the same
time relevance of sub-conventional operations in today's scenario can no longer
be ignored. This paper is an attempt to evolve a suitable human resource
development strategy for capacity building in Army for coping stress in subconventional
warfare.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article gives an overall assessment of ISIS’s conventional conduct of combat operations by examining their warfighting functions patterns. In sum, the approach of ISIS comprised fundamental principles: their weapons can be organized into categories, purposeful combination of these forces in keeping with the concept of combined arms combat, and hierarchical command and control executed by experienced commanders. ISIS combat groups combined the elements of formation and firepower as well as movement and mobility. The paper concludes that ISIS obviously had a vast range of conventional capabilities at its disposal and was thus able to conduct major operations.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the aftermath of 9/11, out of the numbness resulting from the horror
of the events and the desperate attempts to go on with "business as usual"
in the midst of a new, altered reality, there emerged in the United States a
representation of a world order disrupted by terrorism-a world order based
on the opposition between good and evil or, in the words of then-president
George W. Bush, "us" and "the terrorists." Ironically, this interpretation of
"the 'mother event', the pure event that concentrates in itself all the events
that never took place," as Jean Baudrillard put it, was an attempt to reframe
the event in the context of traditional representations, such as those that
led to the old mind-set of American "manifest destiny" to bring the "good" of democracy to non-democratic countries.1
The persistence of expressions
such as "rogue states" and "axis of evil" in political discourse, as well as
continuing efforts to turn Afghanistan into a peaceful, democratic country a
decade after 9/11, attest to the vividness of such representations.
