Dieser Artikel bietet eine neue Analyse von Hobbes' Argument zu Gunsten des Leviathan und bezieht dieses auf einen veränderten sicherheitspolitischen Kontext im nationalen und internationalen Bereich. Es wird gezeigt, dass Hobbes' Prämissen komplex sind und dass seine Argumentation sowohl von der realistischen als auch von der weltstaatlichen Theorie der internationalen Beziehungen abweicht. Eine strenge Anwendung der hobbesschen Methode führt vielmehr zu einer rationalen Begründung der Ergänzung von Staatenbildung und multilateraler Institutionenbildung. Der neue sicherheitspolitische Kontext, der das Argument zu Gunsten multilateraler Institutionenbildung verstärkt, ergibt sich aus der Kapazität gewisser Staaten zum massiven nuklearen Gegenschlag und aus dem transnationalen Terrorismus.

This essay examines the failure to anticipate the terrorist attacks of September 11 from four perspectives: cognitive biases of government analysts & policy makers concerned with terrorism, organizational pathologies of key bureaucracies such as the CIA & the FBI, political & strategic errors of senior government officials, & the unusual nature of al Qaeda. Drawing on past studies of strategic surprise, it argues that agencies such as the CIA at times did impressive work against the terrorist organization, but that in general the US government, & the US intelligence community in particular, lacked a coherent approach for triumphing over the skilled terrorists it faced. In hindsight, it is clear that numerous mistakes at all levels of the US government & the broader US analytic community made strategic surprise more likely. 85 References.

It is argued that multiculturalism & the recognition of minority states has been made significantly more complicated by the war on terror & by terrorism. The history of conflicts between national governments & nationalist, ethnic, & religious movements is traced, from colonial liberation movements & apartheid, to autochthonous groups. With the growth of international institutions such as NATO & the European community, many scholars have suggested that nation states are no longer important. However, the importance of minority cultures has persisted for two reasons: to provide groupings between the state & family that give an individual a sense of belonging; & to provide the organizational basis through which the minority community can defend itself. However, the war against terror & the ensuing mistrust of potential terrorists living within society have brought a further level of complexity to migration & the multicultural societies that develop. 32 References.

This article presents a panoramic about chemical weapons, their historical antecedents, classification, action, & consequences. It also mentions cases of their employment in armed conflicts, both intra- & international. It points out 20th-century efforts to prohibit such arms, culminating in the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, the Production, the Storage, & the Employment of Chemical Weapons & Its Destruction, which started in 1996. Some of the difficulties that will face this convention when it would be fully effective are analyzed, as well as some considerations of ecological character related to the transport, the isolation, & the destruction of existent arsenals. Additionally, complexities that represent the easiness with which international terrorism can consent to this type of chemical product are addressed, urging all to action in seeking the proscription of these singular weapons.
