Intervention without end?

Article Abstract:

An analysis, in the light of events in Iraq, of whether it is possible for international political thought and international law to be adapted to accommodate the ongoing need for, and realities of, military interventions in the post-Cold War world. It is argued that the human craving for order, purpose and reason makes military interventions necessary, but that the doctrines that justify them can be problematic, possibly antagonising states more than the actual interventions do.

Cashback crisis

Article Abstract:

The British position is more prosperous in 2005 than in the year 1980s, moving from being the third poorest member country to the richest. The European Union has reduced the share of its budget spent on agriculture and has expanded to twenty five member states, however, the question remains whether London can legitimately defend its refund at such a sensitive political moment.

Evil or error

Article Abstract:

Britain and Europe more generally, need a distinctive and historically informed approach to terrorism and counter-terrorism. A view of terrorism that incorporates crucial historical dimensions, especially in the wake of the US-led war on terror, will provide insights into the outcome of campaigns against terrorism.
