The Saint-Malo Declaration was designed to bolster the EU’s ability to conduct autonomous military operations. In this article, Peter Ricketts reflects on his involvement in drafting the declaration and other closely related instruments. He explains the challenges negotiators faced in reconciling the interests of NATO and EU states. Following Brexit, the UK will need to rely on the provisions made during this period for non-EU states to participate in EU operations – the same provisions London helped to create.

| Summary/Abstract |
The war of June 1967 was a watershed for the Middle East. In just six days, Israel inflicted upon the Arabs their most humiliating defeat in modern times, perhaps of all time. The great promise of revolutionary Arab nationalism, as espoused by Egypt’s charismatic president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, proved to be no more than an illusion. In this article, Asher Susser explores the lasting consequences of war, arguing that the Arabs have yet to fully recover, 50 years later.

| Summary/Abstract |
Military exercises are rarely straightforward in either intention or outcome. Official policy and governance about exercises have not kept up with the complexity of the current national and international contexts. In addition to collective training, exercises are now used for a wide variety of purposes, such as fostering alliance cohesion and defence diplomacy. In this article, Beatrice Heuser and Harold Simpson argue that the diverse effects and outcomes of exercises merit further investigation, and future guidance for British practitioners will reflect this.

| Summary/Abstract |
The military in Britain’s governing system advises but does not decide on matters of war and peace, the size and composition of the military establishment and the overall resources available for defence. Politicians must decide, but must be guided by the highest quality military advice. Lawrence Freedman discusses the failures and successes of the military advice given and acted upon before the Falklands War of 1982 and the Iraq War of 2003.

| Summary/Abstract |
The First Australian Task Force’s operations in South Vietnam were based on the British Commonwealth concept of counter-revolutionary warfare. Andrew T Ross shows how this strategy allowed the Task Force to suffer fewer casualties and achieve greater success than its US ally. Although this could not have changed the course of the war, it shows the viability of British Commonwealth counterinsurgency doctrine.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this article, Elizabeth Pearson and Emily Winterbotham explore the role of gender in radicalisation to Daesh (also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS). They discuss possible factors in female radicalisation, and how radicalisation differs between men and women. They find that the gender of the recruit affects the enabling factors, mechanisms and locations relating to radicalisation. The article challenges assertions that the recruitment of young men and women to Daesh follows identical patterns, as well as the narrative of women as innately peaceful, or as actors coerced into joining Daesh, revealing the importance of female empowerment in the group’s appeal.
