Syria Protest Analysis: Terrorism and the evolution of Syria's uprising 11 May 2012 by Shashank Joshi
Though the perpetrators have not yet been identified, the latest terrorist attack in Syria suggests that the non-violent and insurgent strands of the uprising could both be overtaken by a campaign of indiscriminate violence. Syria Middle East and North Africa Terrorism
CVF Analysis: Impact of the F-35B Decision: Time Now to Have Two Ships, Not One 11 May 2012 by Dr Lee Willett
The UK Government's decision to opt for the F-35 B, vertical landing Joint Strike Fighter means that aircraft carriers will not be fitted with 'cats-and-traps' and will lose the strategic flexibility originally envisaged. To some degree, that loss can be offset by bringing two aircraft carriers into service. Technology Aerospace Maritime Forces UK Europe Defence Policy

NYT Bin Laden Headline Analysis: Bin Laden's Death, One Year On: Has the Threat Receded? 2 May 2012 by Valentina Soria
Osama Bin Laden's death has only marginally diminished the threat from Al-Qa'ida: underscoring the symbolic relevance, rather than the strategic significance of his demise. The challenge emanates from dispersed, unconnected networks and a pernicious ideology which - though marginalised in the Arab Spring - still has potency in certain dispossessed quarters. Terrorism The decade after 9/11 Al-Qa'ida
F-A-18 Super Hornet Analysis: 'Cats and Traps': Launching the Carrier Debate in the Right Direction? 27 Apr 2012 by Dr Lee Willett
Media debate on the UK's carrier programme is focusing on the jets, rather than the ships they land on. Central to this discussion is 'cats and traps', the launch and recovery system, which drives the choice of aircraft. Critics who say that this will cost too much overlook the long-term strategic value it will add. Maritime Forces Aerospace Defence Policy UK Europe
