Bytes And Bombs: Information Warfare And Accidental Nuclear War, Nicholas Stewart
Bytes And Bombs: Information Warfare And Accidental Nuclear War, Nicholas Stewart
Global Tides
While both information warfare and accidental nuclear war have been discussed in detail in academia, their intersection has long been ignored. Information warfare can be used to create animosity between states and could even spark war during times of crisis. Furthermore, not all states benefit from the technology advances of the first world: nations like Russia and Pakistan have disturbing gaps in their nuclear command and control that could be easily exploited by other states, internal factions or even terrorist organizations. Comparing the information vulnerabilities of the United States, Russia and Pakistan, one can only conclude that immediate action is …
Rules Of Engagement: Seeking Moral And Legal Sufficiency In The 21st Century, Tanner Williams
Rules Of Engagement: Seeking Moral And Legal Sufficiency In The 21st Century, Tanner Williams
Global Tides
Modern conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan has proved to be unlike any other conflict in history. United States and Coalition forces are faced with an insurgent enemy that defies all pre-established Laws of Armed Combat. As we transition from a wartime operations to a peacekeeping environment, it is important to reflect upon the moral and legal struggles that our soldiers face in the line of duty. Certainly, it cannot be easy to distinguish between lawful or unlawful combatants and innocent civilians in a war that lacks a clearly defined enemy. As a result, it is necessary to examine our rules …

La Communauté Des Musulmans En France Et L’Eglise Catholique (The Community Of Muslims In France And The Catholic Church), Dania Lopez
Global Tides
The immigration of Muslims in France has a long and difficult history. The relationship between French society and the community of Muslim immigrants is characterized by confusion and disagreement. This is due to differences between French and Muslim perspectives on religious values, secularism, and daily life. in the context of our discussion, un Français is someone recognized by and integrated into French society. Relationships between Muslims in France and the French lack communication, understanding, and, above all, tolerance. During the last three decades there has been an increased dialogue between Muslims and representatives of French Catholicism in an attempt to …

Economic Developments In Tajikistan, Tyler Haupert
Economic Developments In Tajikistan, Tyler Haupert
Global Tides
Poor nations often leave countless young males without an education, a stable family, or a strong government to follow. These conditions make the choice to join a group of religious radicals appealing. Tajikistan, a country of over seven million located just north of Afghanistan in Central Asia, is surrounded by war torn, politically unstable neighbors and fits the profile of a hotbed for religious radicalism. While the country has avoided a large-scale international war, political instability and economic deficiencies have left Tajikistan primed for future conflict. The situation presents an intriguing study for those concerned with humanitarian issues and those …

Misyar Marriage As Human Trafficking In Saudi Arabia, Stephanie Doe
Misyar Marriage As Human Trafficking In Saudi Arabia, Stephanie Doe
Global Tides
The severity and scope of human trafficking for sexual and labor exploitation has been grossly understudied until this past decade. Reliable information on how and why trafficking in persons occurs is scarce, especially for the Middle East. Saudi Arabia’s notorious policies of discrimination against women serve as the starting point. In Saudi Arabia, the monarchy has co-opted the traditional roles of women as an emblem of its own Islamic character, thereby making it a symbol of its national heritage. An entrenched institution of patriarchy uses gender construction as an instrument of state policy and state security. This intimate relationship between …
