	Homegrown Terrorist Risk
	Publicly, U.S. officials have sought to downplay the risk from independent, homegrown terrorists.
	&#8220;Homegrown Muslim extremists who have little if any connection to known terrorist organizations have not launched a successful attack in the United States,&#8221; Michael Leiter, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Max Hastings in today&#8217;s Financial Times says that, in spite of Vaclav Klaus&#8217; recent signature of the Lisbon Treaty, the EU may confront a much more difficult crisis if &#8212; like it&#8217;s expected &#8212; David Cameron will win British general elections later this year.

		<description><![CDATA[	&#8220;The essence of war is violence, and moderation in war is imbecility&#8221;, wrote Lord Macaulay in 1831.
Does the nature of war change? Or does only its character do?
In light of the recent deterioration of the Afghan situation, it&#8217;s worth reading this piece written by Stanley Kober in the Guardian. It&#8217;s called &#8220;Misunderstanding modern war&#8221;.

		<description><![CDATA[	There are two types of historians: the vivid historian or butterfly and the technical historian or caterpillar. The former believes that complete history is neither possible nor desirable. Selection is necessary, and proper selection distinguishes good historians from bad ones. Facts are unimportant in themselves but are used to find underlying principles. The latter puts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Apparently, classical geopolitical dynamics are active, even at times when cooperation and transparency prevail over conflict between historically rival nations.
Therefore, the following news reported by the Telegraph and by other world media are not so &#8220;incredible&#8221; as one may think at first sight. However, Europe should take into consideration that both the Baltic and the [...]]]></description>

	Questo volume presenta al lettore italiano i principali autori del pensiero geopolitico anglosassone dalle origini ai giorni nostri, attraverso l’analisi dei testi teorici e della loro influenza politico-culturale. Particolare attenzione è rivolta al pensiero dei classici (Mahan, Mackinder, Spykman) e a quello dei loro eredi nel periodo dalla Guerra Fredda. Infine, [...]]]></description>

	[&#8230;] findings show that what initially appeared to be the work of a lone wolf or of a totally independent cell may instead be the act of a small unit linked to a wider network.

		<description><![CDATA[	Interesting commentary written by Reuters&#8217; analyst Paul Taylor:
	Turkey’s bid to join the European Union is fading away with surprisingly little drama because investors no longer see the prospect of accession as an essential policy anchor.
But EU leaders should keep Ankara’s entry negotiations alive on the back burner rather than trying to engage Ankara on alternatives [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	Interview for RFERL quoted by Brian Whitmore in his article on the Azeri-Turkish gas row:
	Azerbaijan has apparently decided to play its energy card.
	As much of the world applauded Turkey&#8217;s historic rapprochement with Armenia last week, Azerbaijan felt left out in the cold and abandoned by its closest ally.
	Baku had argued strenuously that a deal to [...]]]></description>
