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.

This year marks the centenary of the end of the First World War, with active combat coming to a halt on 11 November 1918. During that final year of conflict, as both sides made their last attempts to break through the stalemate on the battlefield, new developments at the strategic and political levels ushered in changes whose repercussions would be felt for years to come.

| Summary/Abstract |
The partnership between India and Russia has been a success of Indian diplomacy, but the relationship is beginning to show signs of strain. The growing closeness between Russia and China and the possibility of the Kremlin’s strategic embrace of Pakistan, as evidenced by its willingness to engage with the Taliban, has fuelled the perception that Moscow and New Delhi are drifting apart. Vinay Kaura argues that, with the changing geopolitics of South Asia, New Delhi and Moscow need to pay greater attention to strengthening their relationship.

| Summary/Abstract |
The use of influence or interference activities by one country to change the tide of elections in another has recently gained prominence due to alleged Russian influence in the 2016 US presidential election and the 2017 French presidential election. In this article, Paul Baines and Nigel Jones chart the evolution of influence and interference in foreign elections. With the rise of its modern digital form, they consider whether it is acceptable as a norm in international relations, or a violation.

| Summary/Abstract |
IN presenting Admiral Daveluy’s opinions in a condensed form I have tried to lose as little as possible of their meaning and value. One or two purely French problems, which, it is thought, are of no interest to foreigners, have not been reviewed. Beyond a few prefatory remarks I have abstained from criticising, after the manner of newspaper experts, the work of a well-known officer. Probably some of the author’s conclusions will be challenged by students of naval warfare. The book is obviously more a popular work, designed to instruct public opinion, than a treatise on strategy, and it is admittedly a book of generalisations; but it is rare to find a naval officer voicing his opinions in public print, and they become all the more interesting when stated dispassionately by a discerning foreigner.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 1920, Lieutenant C F Jepson RN published in the RUSI Journal an analysis of the critical lessons we should learn from the Great War, a perspective based substantially on the views of French Admiral René Daveluy, whom Jepson admired deeply. It makes for fascinating reading close to 100 years later.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this close analysis of radicalisation and violent extremism in Kyrgyzstan, Anna Matveeva argues that radicalisation is not a myth but a phenomenon taking root in the region. While the drivers of radicalisation are not entirely understood, its geographic and social patterns have become clearer. In Kyrgyzstan, it positively correlates with belonging to a Muslim minority group, and their representatives find jihadi ideas more attractive.

| Summary/Abstract |
Who can be believed and how should people act in a contemporary atmosphere of alternative facts, the rise of ‘fake’ information and post-truth politics? Neil Verrall and David Mason suggest that although these are not new concepts, the global speed and scale of information and discourse that military commanders need to address to communicate effectively in the current and future operating environments present new and challenging issues.
