Assesses the effectiveness of aerial bombing, safe zones, safe havens, and the enforced truce as remedies for refugee flows.

The research presented here uses a novel method to show that contemporary party systems may originate much further back than is usually assumed or might be expected—in reality many centuries. Using data on Ireland, a country with a political system that poses significant challenges to the universality of many political science theories, by identifying the ancestry of current party elites we find ethnic bases for the Irish party system arising from population movements that took place from the 12th century. Extensive Irish genealogical knowledge allows us to use surnames as a proxy for ethnic origin. Recent genetic analyses of Irish surnames corroborate Irish genealogical information. The results are particularly compelling given that Ireland is an extremely homogeneous society and therefore provides a tough case for our approach.

Many military veterans and service members do not like to use currently available social media channels to stay in touch with other vets they have served with. A social network exclusively for military veterans could help them stay in touch with those they have served with to discuss and help each other on various issues. In this social network, they could form groups, chat, send mail messages, highlight places where they have been deployed to, post pictures and videos of their experiences, and even rate their experiences. They could use all the features available in a typical social media group on this website. This social media group, in addition to being available on a webpage, could be integrated into their smart phone applications. Through this, the veterans could share their experiences, form a support system, and keep sensitive information to themselves.

The "military anarchy" witnessed the decline and fall of the political institutions of the Early Empire. That period may be interpreted not only as a time of total destruction but also as a transition from on stage of the Roman state to another. The transition was rather spasmodic, revolutionary. By analogy the "military anarchy" may be defined as the second Roman Revolution, just appearing new elements of a future state: The Late Empire. ; La "anarquía militar" atestigua la disminución y la caída de las instituciones políticas del Alto Imperio. Aquel período puede ser interpretado no sólo como una época de destrucción total, sino también como una transición de una forma de gobierno romana hacia otra. La transición era bastante discontinua, revolucionaria. Por analogía "la anarquía militar" puede ser definida como la segunda Revolución romana, apareciendo los nuevos elementos de un futuro estado: El Bajo Imperio.

THIS ARTICLE ANALYZES THE TWO-STAGE PROBLEM A COUNTRY FACES IN FIRST CHOOSING THE OPTIMAL AMOUNT OF ARMS TO ACQUIRE AND THEN DECIDING WHETHER IT CAN IMPROVE UPON THE ALLOCATION THAT EMERGES AFTER THE FIRST STAGE BY ENGAGING IN A MILITARY CONFLICT. A MODEL IS INTRODUCED BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF ECONOMIC EXTERNALITY TO GENERATE CONFLICT SITUATIONS IN THE FIRST STAGE. THEN COMPARATIVE STATIC RESULTS ARE DERIVED BY VARYING THE PARAMETERS OF THIS MODEL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE RATE OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS IN THE MILITARY SECTOR AND THE RATE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, AND EXAMINING WHETHER THE CONFLICT SITUATION IMPROVES OR WORSENS AS THE SOCIAL WELFARE OF THE NATIONS CHANGE ACCORDINGLY. UNCERTAINTY IS THEN INTRODUCED AND THE RESULTS ARE ANALYZED. FINALLY, THE LAST PART EXPLORES THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THE CONFLICT SITUATIONS PRESENTED IN THE FIRST STAGE ACTUALLY LEAD TO THE OUTBREAK OF WAR.
