Historical case studies highlight commonalities and habits of mind that form the nexus between strategic thought and leadership. Students will appreciate that a major aspect of thinking strategically and influencing others toward effective outcomes is well-analyzed intelligence appropriately tailored for the needs of policy makers.

We participated in the 26th General Assembly of the International Maritime Organization and visited a number of United States, NATO, European Union, and coalition partners. There are several themes that emerge from the world of work that our Guardians perform this week and every week beyond our maritime borders. 1. The world is becoming more complex and the trend will continue. 2. The issues we face challenge existing governing structures that were created in different times to address different threats. 3. Asymmetrical threats such as piracy, illegal fishing, and illegal immigration are proliferating and challenge our governing structures and operational response models. 4. The value, relevance, and return of investment of Coast Guard resources has never been more appreciated. 4. Allocating our forces outside the western hemisphere has always been a challenge but the demand is likely to outstrip our capability for the foreseeable future. 5. These realities will require us to make tough choices in the near future as we reconcile supply and demand for our limited resources. I am more well informed and sensitive to the complex issues at play having made these visits.

  • What Amounts to a Surrender by Operation of Law?
    September 2010 Review Property @ction Welcome to the Fifth Edition of the Quarterly Review from Hammonds’ Property@ction Team. In this issue we will look at the following: (i) What amounts to a surrender by operation of law; (ii) Does it do what it says on the tin? - full repairing and insuring leases; (iii) Double trouble; (iv) Compulsory purchase orders; (v) Adverse possession; We welcome all contributions to this review and if you would like to discuss this further please contact any of the editorial team. What amounts to a surrender by operation of law? Where a landlord and tenant bring a lease to an end, they usually do so by completing a deed of surrender. However, sometimes, it may be implied that a surrender has occurred. The term commonly used for an implied surrender is a surrender “by operation of law”. In a recent case, QFS Scaffolding v Sable1 , the court considered some of the relevant principles for a surrender by operation of law to take place. Facts The landlord (Mr and Mrs Sable) granted a lease to a tenant company which eventually entered into administration. Prior to the administration, a new company (QFS) was formed with a view to taking over the tenant’s business. The Sables negotiated terms for a new lease with QFS who, in fact, went into occupation. However, the negotiations faltered and no new lease was entered into. Instead, QFS asked the administrator of the tenant to assign the lease to it and, as a result of this request, a deed of assignment was executed.

  • Understanding the Religious Terrorism of Boko Haram in Nigeria
    African Study Monographs, 34 (2): 65–84, August 2013 65 NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER: UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGIOUS TERRORISM OF BOKO HARAM IN NIGERIA Daniel Egiegba AGBIBOA Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford ABSTRACT Boko Haram, a radical Islamist group from northeastern Nigeria, has caused severe destruction in Nigeria since 2009. The threat posed by the extremist group has been described by the present Nigerian President as worse than that of Nigeria’s civil war in the 1960s. A major drawback in the Boko Haram literature to date is that much effort has been spent to remedy the problem in lieu of understanding it. This paper attempts to bridge this important gap in existing literaure by exploring the role of religion as a force of mobilisation as well as an identity marker in Nigeria, and showing how the practice and perception of religion are implicated in the ongoing terrorism of Boko Haram. In addition, the paper draws on the relative deprivation theory to understand why Boko Haram rebels and to argue that religion is not always a sufficient reason for explaining the onset of religious terrorism. Key Words: Boko Haram; Nigeria; Religious terrorism; Identity; Relative deprivation theory. INTRODUCTION Since 2009, bombings and shootings by the Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram have targeted Nigeria’s religious and ethnic fault lines in an apparently escalating bid to hurt the nation’s stability. A spate of increasingly coordinated and sophisticated attacks against churches from December 2011 through July 2012 suggests a strategy of provocation through which the group seeks to spark wide- scale sectarian violence that will strike at the foundations of the country (Forest, 2012).
