The term "security" has always been vague in terms of its definition. After the end of the Cold War, however, this vagueness increased as new paradigms emerged. Those studying security need a better understanding of the term "security" to deal with complex issues within the broadly understood discipline of security studies. This thesis describes the uncertain nature of security by analyzing: (1) various definitions of security and some of the terms directly related to it in...

North Korea lives in a tumultuous time. The arduous march of the late 1990s is over. Now, the government urges the people to devote themselves to building a powerful and prosperous nation. Most of the country is still closed to outsiders, and foreigners are not allowed to visit many important industrial and agricultural districts, let alone the hinterland in North Korea. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the countryside, as a rule, government offices, schools, and hospitals continue to...

This paper discusses and explains the South Asia region, which, depending on how you define it, is home to some 1.7 billion people. It also points to some future challenges and possibilities for this important region. Geographically, South Asia comprises the Indian subcontinent and its immediate surrounds. However, apart from geography and some shared history, there is little that encourages, or compels, the South Asia region to cohere. Based on membership of the South Asian Association for...

This project analyzes the collective identity and narratives surrounding the culture of the drug trafficking organizations (DTOs), or narcocultura, in Mexico. It questions whether the visible cultural artifacts of the DTOs reflect a cultural identity or if they create an identity that threatens Mexican national security. The analysis establishes that narcocultura is a relevant framework to study Mexican transnational organized crime (TOC). The thesis utilizes both cultural and security studies...

China aims to nurture a Korea that would accommodate China on major issues, maintain friendly bilateral relations, refrain from disapproved security cooperation with China s adversaries, and contribute to China s economic growth. Beijing and Seoul enjoy warming relations and great potential for economic cooperation. Based on current trends, the Chinese have reason to hope that in the long term Seoul will have a closer and stronger relationship with China than with the United States. Pyongyang...

Naturally, information security educators play an important role in addressing the problems of fear, uncertainty and doubt. We can provide our students with an understanding of system vulnerabilities, the threat agents to whom such vulnerabilities would be attractive, and techniques for mitigating those threats. Even more importantly, our students can be practiced in the critical thinking skills necessary to discern cyber security snake oil and voodoo from sound security architectures and...

China is actively engaged in developing multilateral relationships in Asia. This approach to the region has developed since the 1990s and reflects an understanding by China that both it and the region gain through multilateral approaches to a wide range of issues. China's multilateralism is situational rather than conditional. That is, it tends to prefer multilateral approaches as a matter of policy and will shape its approach according to the situation, rather than to set conditions and then...

Since 1996, Megawati Soekarnoputri, daughter of Indonesia's founding father, Soekarno, emerged on the Indonesian political scene with the mantle of heir apparent to her father's still popular legacy. In that year Megawati, whose growing popularity alarmed the Soeharto regime, was removed as leader of the Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) by prominent members of both the Soeharto regime and the military by rigging the party election. Subsequent clashes with security forces caused the deaths of...

At year s end, following President Bush s re-election, the thrust remained although, as former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew noted in...

The independence in 1991 of Central Asian states here defined as the former Soviet republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan raised serious hope in the West that after decades of authoritarianism the countries of the region would lean toward a process of democratization. This expectation was based on several assumptions. Firstly, the impressive liberal beginning of Boris Yeltsin Russia suggested that other former Soviet republics might follow its example....

At first glance, Mongolias decade-long attempt to develop a domestic counter-terrorism capacity seems counter-intuitive. The country has not experienced a terrorist attack nor does it face any immediate pressure from terrorist groups within or on its borders. Mongolias small and diffuse population, its geographic isolation, and its neutral foreign policy also suggest a relative insulation from terrorist threats. Through closer consideration of Mongolias counter-terrorism architecture, however,...

Alone among the major combatants in World War II, Japan and Russia have yet to sign a peace treaty fully normalizing their relations. The immediate cause of this anomalous situation is the inability of Tokyo and Moscow to agree on the ownership of the Kurile Islands, which the Soviet Union seized and annexed in the closing days of the war. The Soviets adopted the position maintained by their Russian successors that they did this in agreement with their then ally, the United States, at the...

North Koreas new, highly enriched uranium nuclear-weapons program may be a consequence of Kim Jong Il and his military leaders paranoid worldview. From Pyongyang, ones view of international developments can be dramatically different from that of Washington, D.C.

The Nepalese Civil War from 1996 to 2006 left in its wake an awareness that the involvement of women in every sector of society is fundamentally important. The resulting changes in law and the creation of new legislation demonstrated this awareness and reflected a growing appreciation of the need for gender equality. However, challenges remain in the lack of authenticated data on conflict-affect women, in the inadequate operational rollout of legislation, in the lack of access to appropriate...

The United States has a moral obligation and a vital national interest in helping the people of Iraq to achieve a more stable, secure, and prosperous future. The political compromises necessary to achieve such a future remain elusive. The two probable outcomes, an authoritarian or a flaccid Iraqi government, will not satisfy the interests of the people living in Iraq nor the other states in the region. More importantly, it is unlikely to produce a degree of stability and territorial control...

Koreas 16th presidential race between Lee Hoi-chang of the opposition Grand National Party and Roh Moo-hyun of the ruling Millennium Democratic Party ended with the victory of Mr. Roh by a slight margin of 2.3% in the total number of votes cast. The percentage of voters who supported Mr. Roh was48.9%, whilst 46.6% voted for Mr. Lee. With no doubt, this election could be recorded as one of the most dramatic presidential races in the history of Korea. Mr. Roh, an underdog who had once been 20%...

While it is commonly understood that climate change will modify the weather, it is also predicted to influence volcanic emissions directly. It will thus have a significant effect on the geophysical properties of the planet, as well as the exposure of humans to emissions of ash, dust and aerosols. Because of local topography, communities in the Hawaiian Islands are exposed to different concentrations and compositions of volcanic air pollution, depending on the volume of volcanic emissions, the...

The reverberations from the recent regime shake-up in Rangoon continue to be felt in regional capitals. Since prime minister Khin Myunt was the chief architect of closer China-Burma strategic ties, his sudden removal has been interpreted as a major setback for China's strategic goals in Burma. However, an objective assessment of China's strategic and economic needs and Burma's predicament shows that Beijing is unlikely to easily give up what it has already gained in and through Burma. From...

The most obvious implication of the April 5, 2004 election for Indonesia's parliament is the halving of vote share for the Indonesian Democratic Party-Struggle (PDI-P), the party of incumbent President Megawati Soekarnoputri. This result means that Megawati will struggle to win a second term in presidential elections scheduled for October. Megawati will still be a contender for another term, but now faces tough competition from two former generals. Golkar, a political vehicle for former...

We extend the separation kernel abstraction to represent the enforcement of the principle of least privilege. In addition to the inter-block flow control policy prescribed by the traditional separation kernel paradigm, we describe an orthogonal finer-grained flow control policy by extending the protection of elements to subjects and resources, as well as blocks, within a partitioned system. We show how least privilege applied to the actions of subjects and resources provides enhanced protection...

First, what are the ends of strategy or the goals the nation is trying to accomplish alone or in concert with friends and allies?...

Since the last Workshop on Education in Computer Security, we have witnessed a greater level of appreciation within the general population regarding the protection of information. Perhaps the clearest motivating factor for this is the threat of identity theft. Unfortunately, even though many guidelines regarding safe computing have been published in the popular media, the possibility of falling victim to cyber crime remains high. Part of this is due to the increased sophistication of the...

As the worlds population and economies grow, so does the demand for resources. While pioneers like Elon Musk hope to one day exploit space for the additional resources required to support a ballooning population on Earth1, many nations have an interest today in competing for additional resources.

However, among them, fewer than 20 countries remain democratic today.47 South Korea is one of these few and presents itself as a good case to examine various issues arising from the process of democratic consolidation. This chapter will analyze several issues of democratic consolidation in South Korea by examining the...

The catch is that American...

An apparent paradox is emerging in nuclear proliferation. On one hand, the technical barriers to entry into the nuclear club have been progressively eroded; yet the drive to obtain nuclear weapons has been declining. This trend confounds the commonly accepted systemic explanation for nuclear proliferation. The anomaly of fewer potential proliferators despite reduced technical barriers suggests that decisions about acquiring nuclear weapons may now be influenced by a different calculus. To...

Australian prime ministers have visited Japan at an average interval of 2.6 years between 1957 and 2003.

Upon the 30-year anniversary of the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations in 2002, Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun noted that many Japanese felt Japan-China relations are at their worst since normalization, while in China an opinion poll showed that half of respondents believed relations with Japan were not good and only 22 percent said relations were good.
