Rodnie Allison addresses the timely issue of reforming defence procurement in the present and future era of austerity. His article is prophetic in that until recently the federal government stridently affirmed purchasing 65 F-35 fifth-generation fighter aircraft yet most recently the government appears to be less committed. Sean Clark’s excellent contribution serves as a reminder that war has traditionally been a state’s foremost concern. This concern is driven by the need to win and thereby survive rather than by considerations moral. He provides a compelling argument for the need for study in and the development of theories of victory. Kavita Bapat examines the pervasive demand for illegal drugs and the strategic geopolitical and security impact on Central America and Guatemala that serves as the chief route for illegal drugs going to North American consumers. Pavle Levkovic offers an excellent retrospective on the UN peacekeeping mission in Bosnia 1992 to 1995.
