American Power in Asia – Permanency in Abeyance? Feat. Lt. General Jerry P. Martinez USAF (Ret.)
August 12, 2019 09:23 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBA lot has been said of the state of American global power. But in the US itself there is little appetite among the people to be on a constant state of military vigilance and arguably the Trump win in 2016 played to a sense of national public war weariness. This is a time of confrontation with Iran in the Gulf, Kim Jong Un in North Korea, and most worrying of all, a rising China. Chinese power is increasingly seen to be pushing US power from the Western Pacific. To plumb the depths of Ame...

August 04, 2019 15:12 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MBJudging people based on their music tastes has become a part of the adolescent experience, and a large part of maturing. We allow ourselves to think and display judgments of others ears, using microaggressive quips to bag any taste that is other to our own, revealing an insecurity that we are part of a small tribe of music genre. But what about music makes the alternative so attractive, why is it so important in our rebellious phase, and how do you find peace with your experience of music ...

European Coup - Back to a Balance of Power Europe?
July 26, 2019 15:41 - 1 hour - 55.5 MBThe European Parliament’s creation, national ambitions, identities and interests have had an imperfect execution throughout its history.

Strategic Culture is a tool for analysing states’ security behaviour developed by Jack Snyder in the 1970s.
