  • Prosecuting Terrorism: the Old Bailey Versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker
    Prosecuting terrorism: the Old Bailey versus Belmarsh by Clive Walker Consistent with his “war on terror” paradigm, President George W Bush asserted that “it is not enough to serve our enemies with legal papers” (State of the Union Address, January 20, 2004). In resonance with this view, the prime legal focus in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was more upon Belmarsh rather than the Old Bailey – in other words, upon detention without trial and latterly on control orders rather than prosecutions. However, this era of executive action is fading in United Kingdom domestic law. The first part of this paper will examine the foundations for the reinvigoration of criminal justice. The second part will explore the present and future implications for criminal justice. THE PRIMACY OF CRIMINAL terrorism, or new police powers to investigate potential PROSECUTION crimes, notably, 28 day detention.

  • The Influence of Tactical Learning Centers on Military Innovation
    The University of Chicago Wargaming to Win: The Influence of Tactical Learning Centers on Military Innovation By Robert Maxwell August 2021 A paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Arts degree in the Master of Arts program in the Committee on International Relations Faculty Advisor: John Mearsheimer Preceptor: Nick Campbell-Seremetis Maxwell 2 In 1965, the United States military commenced air combat operations over North Vietnam. Given the significant technological and material advantages that both the US Air Force and Navy had over the Vietnam People's Air Force, there was very little expectation of real resistance. Both services had recently acquired new radar-guided missiles and fighters equipped with powerful airborne RADAR systems, allowing them to destroy targets beyond visual range. However, these weapons did not work as advertised, forcing American pilots into turning dogfights more resembling previous conflicts. This skillset had depreciated due to the new emphasis on interception and beyond visual range attacks using RADAR-guided missiles. Both services largely failed to conceptualize how to properly integrate these weapons as part of a larger force training plan. Each of them reacted differently, with the Navy examining its training practices and the Air Force investing in new technologies. The Navy showed marked improvement in relative terms (kill ratio) and absolute terms (kills per combat). The Air Force stayed the same or even slightly regressed. The difference is that the Navy invested resources into "a graduate-level air- combat course," which was later more popularly known as "Topgun." This concept can be further abstracted to be neutral by warfare area, using the definition "tactical learning center." The form that these resources took follows a pattern in the universe of cases examining gradual military innovation.
