Algeria's strategy regarding Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) is built on the heritage of the civil war of the 1990s. It consists of engaging in armed combat with the most radical terrorist groups and holding out a hand to the moderates who are likely to put down their arms. Alger has tried to apply this mixture of repression and dialogue in the Malian crisis. Ansar Dine's double dealing led Algerian authorities to help French military intervention.

Ephraim Kam observes surprise attack through the eyes of its victim in order to understand the causes of the victim's failure to anticipate the coming of war. Emphasing the psychological aspect of warfare, Kam traces the behavior of the victim at various functional levels and from several points of view in order to examine the difficulties and mistakes that permit a nation to be taken by surprise. He argues that anticipation and prediction of a coming war are more complicated than any other issue of strategic estimation, involving such interdependent factors as analytical contradictions, judgemental biases, organizational obstacles, and political as well as military constraints.

Inspired by the globality of justice concerns in the 21st century, Global Civil Society 2011 focuses on how civil society actors around the world are framing, contesting and promoting ideas about justice, as well as their strategies to tackle the myriad injustices people face. It identifies an important shift in the globalisation of concerns about justice ₆ citizens may claim benefits from the nation state, but increasingly groups interacting globally are collectivizing a sense of injustice. In this way global civil society has created and expanded new spaces to reinstall justice as inspiration and arbiter of laws. Combining activist and academic accounts of contemporary struggles, this yearbook provides critical insight into how civil society is remaking justice in a global arena, beyond the confines of the nation state.

"This book explains why neither military nor civilian agencies can act alone in managing modern conflicts and why joint civil-military efforts are needed. As the record of peace operations interventions over nearly a decade and a half since the end of the Cold War demonstrates that the international community is doing badly at creating civil-military partnerships, the author argues that those efforts must be deliberately planned from the outset of an operation and cannot be added on as afterthoughts when all else has failed."--BOOK JACKET.

Civil society groups are among the most important private actors to fill some of the gaps that exist
in Myanmar's education system. As the state-run education system deteriorates, civil society actors
develop alternative approaches to teaching and the provision of basic education materials. As its
subtitle suggests, this article argues that even though the military regime of Myanmar is highly
authoritarian, spaces for civil society actors do exist within two areas of state weakness: firstly,
within various sectors of the weak welfare state; and secondly, within some of the negotiated
spaces of relative ethnic autonomy in ceasefire areas. Against this backdrop, the emergence of
civil-society-based self-help groups in the education sector provides but one specific example of
a larger trend that is taking place in present-day Myanmar: The military regime has started to
tolerate certain civil society activities in areas of tremendous welfare needs that the government
is unable or unwilling to deal with itself.
