The presidential election of 2012 was among the most important in American history, both for the policies that will persist due to its result as well as the national political transformation it portends.

Anticipating Madam President
Madam President? The question is not if, but rather when the United States will elect a female president—but that may be the only certainty involved in shattering this most visible glass ceiling in U.S. society. Who will be included in the field of candidates for Madam President, and why? How will she have to position herself for a viable run at the Oval Office? Once in office, will she encounter gender-based biases in her handling of military an…
The Great Game Renewed? US—russian Rivalry in the Arms Trade of South Asia
The terrorist attacks on the United States in September 2001 prompted Washington to re-evaluate its policies in South Asia and reaffirmed the strategic importance of that region. One result of this reassessment has been renewed efforts to supply arms and weapons systems to the region as a means of expanding influence and bolstering support for US actions in Afghanistan. Concurrently, economic pressures and the traditional drive for influence have…
Towards an International Regime on Small Arms Trade
In the aftermath of the Cold War, the global arms trade showed a downward trend. From 1990 through 1995, worldwide arms exports declined by 73 per cent.1 By 1997, the value of major arms transfers was approximately $25 billion, which was 62 per cent of the value of the arms trade in 1986.2 As a result, major international arms manufacturers sought to diversify their sales and expand their markets. Concurrently, there was mounting international pr…

The triumph of transatlanticism
The end of the Cold War and the resulting American drawdown of forces in Europe only seemed to confirm the need for a European Security and Defence Identity (ESDI) distinct from NATO. Differences over the scope and nature of the European pillar quickly derailed significant progress towards ESDI as some states, such as Great Britain or the Netherlands, insisted on the retention of NATO as the foundation of any European‐wide security structure whil…
