Elizabeth Bellion 219 Bullet, Badge or Band-Aid: Assessing Counterterrorism Approaches in Pakistan iv FOREWORD The Australian Institute of International Affairs (AIIA) was established in 1924 to promote public understanding and interest in international affairs. The AIIA works actively to engage young people in its work including through young professionals’ networks, careers fairs, schools events, internships, mentoring and the Young Diplomats Program. For more information, visit www.aiia.asn.au. As part of the AIIA’s commitment to engage youth in international affairs, AIIA National Office launched an internship program in 2006. Since the commencement of the program, National Office has hosted more than 110 interns from Australia and overseas. A number of branches host internship programs, including AIIA NSW, AIIA VIC and the AIIA’s ACT, South Australia and Queensland Branches. Anyone who interns at an AIIA branch or National Office is eligible to submit a paper for publication in Emerging Scholars that is then subject to academic review. Given the high quality of papers this year, the AIIA is pleased to publish the largest volume to date. Please note that the opinions contained in this volume are those of the authors alone and do not represent the views of the AIIA. This volume of Emerging Scholars includes reports on a variety of current issues in international affairs. Global challenges are well- represented with papers on energy security, food security, nuclear non- proliferation and climate change. Developments in Indonesia receive a welcome focus with chapters on the role of the media in democratic participation, implementation of Shari’a law in Aceh and human security in West Papua. There is a strong focus on the Middle East, with chapters on Iran’s strategic interests and the Shi’a political movement in Lebanon. Some chapters shed light on current events, such as an illuminating case study of the United Nations Security Council’s decision-making regarding intervention in Libya and Syria; while others look forward to emerging trends, such as the growth in digital diplomacy. Other 1 chapters provide a new perspective on a familiar issue such as counterterrorism. All of these papers deserve a wide audience. We congratulate the authors on their work and hope this further stimulates their interest in careers in international affairs. I thank the reviewers for this volume, Dr Chad Mitcham and Dr Sue Thompson, for the significant work they put into ensuring the quality of this publication. I also thank the following for their editorial assistance: Hayley Channer, Pablo Andrade Coloma, Margherita Crippa, Katherine Flynn, Ingram Niblock, Kiona Bolt and Sung Min Yoo. The AIIA expresses its gratitude to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s International Grant Program for its support of the AIIA’s youth activities. We hope you enjoy the chapters selected for this volume. Melissa H.

However, this one-dimensional explanation obscures the interconnected web of geopolitical realities that lie at the crux of contemporary food security and what some have described as the most severe food crisis of the twenty-first century. Global hunger and incidences of famine are not solely a repercussion of inexorable climatic conditions such as drought, but are the result of human-created social structures. Contemporary food security in the Horn of Africa region is affected by the ramifications of conflict, the stranglehold of the global food system by agribusinesses, the impacts of the global capitalist structure and the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programs on. The chapter concludes that geopolitical realities, not climatic conditions, are the underlying cause of food insecurity in the Horn of Africa and explores the notion of food sovereignty as a means to enhance food security in the region. * Jessica Glover is a final year student at the University of Wollongong studying a Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies-Bachelor of International Studies, with specialisations in Journalism, Politics, Peace and Security Studies and Spanish.

My name is Andre Altherr and I’ll be your Crisis Director for the Cabinet of Armenia: 1920 committee. I’m from New York City and am currently a Second Year at the University of Chicago majoring in History and Political Science. Despite once having a social life, I now spend my free-time on much tamer activities like reading 800-page books on Armenian history, reading 900-page books on Central European history, and relaxing with the best of Stephen King and 20th century sci-fi anthologies. When not reading, I enjoy hiking, watching Frasier, and trying to catch up on much needed sleep. I’ve helped run and participated in numerous Model UN conferences in both college and high school, and I believe that this activity has the potential to hone public speaking, develop your creativity and critical thinking, and ignite interest in new fields. Devin and I care very deeply about making this committee an inclusive space in which all of you feel safe, comfortable, and motivated to challenge yourself to grow as a delegate, statesperson, and human. We trust that you will conduct yourselves with maturity and tact when discussing sensitive subjects.

  • A Brief Overview on Karabakh History from Past to Today
    Volume: 8 Issue: 2 Year: 2011 A Brief Overview on Karabakh History from Past to Today Ercan Karakoç Abstract After initiation of the glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) policies in the USSR by Mikhail Gorbachev, the Soviet Union started to crumble, and old, forgotten, suppressed problems especially regarding territorial claims between Azerbaijanis and Armenians reemerged. Although Mountainous (Nagorno) Karabakh is officially part of Azerbaijan Republic, after fierce and bloody clashes between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, the entire Nagorno Karabakh region and seven additional surrounding districts of Lachin, Kelbajar, Agdam, Jabrail, Fizuli, Khubadly and Zengilan, it means over 20 per cent of Azerbaijan, were occupied by Armenians, and because of serious war situations, many Azerbaijanis living in these areas had to migrate from their homeland to Azerbaijan and they have been living under miserable conditions since the early 1990s. Keywords: Karabakh, Caucasia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Ottoman Empire, Safavid Empire, Russia and Soviet Union Assistant Professor of Modern Turkish History, Yıldız Technical University, [email protected] 1003 Karakoç, E.

  • Current Readings on the Iran-Iraq Conflict and Its Effects on U.S. Foreign Relations and Policy
    Reference Services Review, v. 17, issue 2, 1989, p. 27-39. ISSN: 0090-7324 DOI: 10.1108/eb049054 http://www.emeraldinsight.com/journals.htm?issn=0090-7324 © 1989 MCB UP Ltd Current Readings on the Iran-Iraq Conflict and Its Effects on U.S. Foreign Relations and Policy Magda El-Sherbini The conflict between Iran and Iraq is not new; it dates from long before September 1980. In fact, the origins of the current war can be traced to the battle of Qadisiyah in Southern Iraq in 637 A.D., a battle in which the Arab armies of General Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas decisively defeated the Persian army. In victory, the Arab armies extended Islam east of the Zagros Mountains to Iran. In defeat, the Persian Empire began a steady decline that lasted until the sixteenth century. However, since the beginning of that century, Persia has occupied Iraq three times: 1508-1514, 1529-1543, and 1623-1638. Boundary disputes, specifically over the Shatt al-Arab Waterway, and old enmities caused the wars. In 1735, belligerent Iranian naval forces entered the Shatt al-Arab but subsequently withdrew. Twenty years later, Iranians occupied the city of Sulimaniah and threatened to occupy the neighboring countries of Bahrain and Kuwait. In 1847, Iran dominated the eastern bank of the Shatt al-Arab and occupied Mohamarah in Iraq. The Ottoman rulers of Iraq concluded a number of treaties with Iran, including: the treaty of Amassin (1534-55); treaties signed in 1519, 1613, and 1618; and the treaty of Zuhab, signed in 1639. Yet another treaty, the treaty of Erzerum in 1823, failed once again to resolve the dispute.

  • Pdf IWGIA Statement West Papua 2021
    Civil Society Condemns Human Rights Violations against Indigenous Peoples in West Papua An ongoing armed conflict in West Papua between the Indonesian military and the separatist movement finds ordinary Indigenous Peoples caught in the middle, resulting in deaths and violations of their rights. Since 1963, when the Indonesian government formally took administrative control of West Papua1, the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI) have carried out security operations criticised for their violence and intimidation of Indigenous Peoples2 in West Papua. The TNI have stepped up their military operations3 in West Papua with the aim of ending the separatist movement4 (including but not limited to OPM). Recently, the Indonesian government created a new category called “KKB” (Armed Criminal Group). The group includes people or groups carrying out any confrontational activity in West Papua, but without clearly identifying who this group actually is. Therefore, anyone and any group can be labelled as terrorists. On April 29th 2021 the Indonesia state officially declared any criminal, armed group (KKB) a terrorist group.5 This declaration was announced following the murder of the Indonesian regional intelligence chief6, General I Gusti Putu Danny Karya Nugraha. In response, Indonesia’s President Joko Widodo ordered the police and military "to chase and arrest"7 everyone involved in the ”KKB”, and 400 members of the elite Infantry Battalion 3158 were deployed to the easternmost region of West Papua. Over the past three years, the Indonesian state has sent 21,369 troops to the land of Papua9. On the 24th of April 2021, the chairman of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR), Bambang Soesatyo, added to these orders against the “KKB” in his statement to “destroy them first.
