  • The Future of Sea Mines in the Indo-Pacific
    Issue 18, 2020 BREACHING THE SURFACE: THE FUTURE OF SEA MINES IN THE INDO-PACIFIC Alia Huberman, The Australian National Internships Program Issue 18, 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report argues that several dynamics of the coming few decades in the Indo-Pacific will see naval mines used once again in the region. It suggests they will form the basis of anti-access strategies for some Indo-Pacific states in a way that will be deeply transformative for the region’s strategic balance and for which Australia is thoroughly unprepared. It seeks to draw attention to the often- underappreciated nature of sea mines as a uniquely powerful strategic tool, offering the user an unparalleled asymmetric ability to engage high-value enemy targets while posing a minimal-risk, low- expense, and continuous threat. In the increasingly contested strategic environment of the contemporary Indo-Pacific - a region in which the threats to free navigation and the maritime economy are existential ones - there is considerable appetite for anti-access and sea denial weapons as defensive, offensive, and coercive tools. Naval strategists must,, prepare for the resurgence of mine warfare in the Indo-Pacific, and for the grand-scale and rapid timeline in which it can transform an operational environment. This report first seeks to collate and outline those characteristics of sea mines and of their interaction with an operational environment that make them attractive for use. It then discusses the states most likely to employ mine warfare and the different scenarios in which they might do so, presenting five individual contingencies: China, Taiwan, North Korea, non-state actors, and Southeast Asian states.

This established a binary paradigm between Americans and Muslims, where Americans represented “us” whereas Muslims represented “them.” Through a qualitative analysis of the main characters in the post-9/11 terrorism-show, Homeland, season one (2011), as well as an analysis of the opening sequence and the overall narrative in the show, this thesis argues that this binary system of “us” and “them” is no longer black and white, but blurred, and hard to define. My analysis indicates that several of the enemies in the show break with the stereotypical portrayal of Muslims as crude, violent fanatics.

  • STATEMENT by RAFI RON to the SENATE COMMITTEE on HOMELAND SECURITY and GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS September 21, 2005
    STATEMENT BY RAFI RON TO THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS September 21, 2005 Mr. Chairman and members of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. For the record, I am Rafi Ron, President of New Age Security Solutions, a Transportation Security Consultancy firm based in McLean, VA. This company was established in October 2001 following a request by the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) to provide it with professional support in developing and implementing a new security policy and program so as to elevate Logan airport to a leading position in airport security. Logan’s achievements are widely recognized today by the Federal Government as well as by the aviation industry. Before my involvement with Massport and Logan Airport I served as Director of Security at Tel-Aviv Ben-Gurion International Airport for a period of five years. In this position I was responsible for all aspects of the security operation, including planning, implementation and management. My previous security experience stems from over 30 years of work in security, intelligence and counterterrorism for the government of Israel. For the last four years, my company has been involved in numerous transportation security projects in the US and abroad involving airports, seaports and ground transportation. I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to testify about Transportation Security. Over the past fifty years or so it has become clear that transportation is a high-priority target for terrorists and terrorist organizations. Since transportation systems constitute a critical infrastructure without which our modern industrial societies cannot function, these systems are very likely to remain at the high-risk end in the foreseeable future.

Shorter than most television episodes and distributed on online platforms like YouTube, web series both draw on and deviate from traditional TV storytelling strategies. In this thesis, I compare the production and storytelling strategies of "derivative" web series based on broadcast television shows with "original" web series created for the Internet, focusing on the evolution of scripted entertainment content online.
