Libya uprising Analysis: The Challenges of Keeping Libya Together 23 Mar 2012
The province of Cyrenaica is the latest region to have announced its intention to have greater autonomy in Libya. Being the birthplace of the Libyan revolution, this has drawn the ire of the fragile National Transitional Council in Tripoli. Asserting its control will involve firmer security control and a rapid transition to democracy. Libya Middle East and North Africa
WHR 1-12 cover News: Libya: Not a model for future intervention 19 Mar 2012
The 2011 Libyan operation cannot be a widely applicable model for future intervention, regardless of the military success of the campaign that helped rebels depose Qadhafi at little civilian cost. This is important to bear in mind as the unfolding crisis in Syria rumbles on, or new ones develop, claims a new report by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI). UK Europe Middle East and North Africa Libya France Americas
Bosnian armed forces Analysis: What Ends a War? The Limits of Bosnia-Syria Parallels 14 Mar 2012 by Adrian Johnson
The military option is still on the table as the atrocities in Syria continue. But what is the best template for intervention? For all its successes, the example of Bosnia in the mid-1990s is not one of them. Middle East and North Africa Syria Europe
Ahmedinejad Nuclear Analysis: Is a Nuclear Iran as Dangerous As We Think? 27 Feb 2012 by Shashank Joshi
Pessimists warn that a nuclear Iran cannot be safely contained. But these risks - irrational behaviour, nuclear safety, and further proliferation - need to be dispassionately assessed and put into context.

wavyiranianflagthumb Analysis: The Israel Embassy Attacks: Where next for Iran and Israel? 14 Feb 2012 by Michael Stephens
The attacks against Israel diplomatic targets in India and Georgia may well usher in a new chapter in the covert war between Iran and Israel. The Jewish state may feel emboldened to retaliate decisively on an Iran that is becoming increasingly isolated in the Arab world. Iran Middle East and North Africa Middle East Peace
Syrian Flag Analysis: ARGUMENTS FOR Military Intervention in Syria 8 Feb 2012 by Michael Stephens
With over 6000 dead, there is little option but to intervene in Syria and dismantle the regime. It is important that the international community joins the Arab states in their determination to get involved and ensure a stable post-Assad Syria. Middle East and North Africa Syria
Syrian Flag Analysis: ARGUMENTS AGAINST Military Intervention in Syria 8 Feb 2012 by David Roberts
Something needs to be done to stop the Syrian Army killing ever increasing number of its citizens. But Syria is far more complex than Libya and simply sending arms and further internationalising the Syrian Civil War will only exacerbate the war and elongate suffering. A more viable solution is for Arab states to use their muscle as energy suppliers to slow down the Assad regime. Middle East and North Africa Syria Iran The Gulf Region
Persian Gulf Analysis: The Dawn Of A Civil Nuclear Age In The Gulf 11 Jan 2012
Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear energy programme has created deep tensions and fear across the Middle East and the West. Despite this, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, countries in the Gulf are now embarking on radical nuclear energy programmes with greater cooperation from the West.
