HOW TO CONTROL WAR
The document discusses four main causes of war: economic gain, nationalism, revenge, and defensive war. It then provides tips for resolving conflicts and preventing war through respect, understanding opposing perspectives, emotional intelligence, refraining from ideological rhetoric, and focusing on interests rather than being right. Sweden is highlighted as a country that has not been involved in war since 1814, having the longest period of peace. Common strategies to prevent war mentioned are arms control, diplomacy, arbitration, using the World Court, and conciliation conferences.
02a types of international conflict
International conflicts can take several forms:
1) Interstate conflicts occur between two or more governments, such as the World Wars.
2) Intrastate conflicts are between a government and non-governmental party, like civil wars.
3) Intrastate conflicts with foreign involvement have one or both sides receiving support from other governments, as seen in the Spanish and Angolan civil wars.
4) Extra-systemic conflicts are between a state and non-state group outside its territory, such as colonial wars of independence.

This document discusses debates around economic development approaches and theorists Friedrich Hayek and Gunnar Myrdal. It notes three main debates: the blank slate vs. history approach, the role of the state vs. individuals, and designed vs. spontaneous solutions. It discusses Hayek and Myrdal's views, including Hayek arguing against the Nobel Prize in economics and noting that experts don't have authority over economics. Myrdal is discussed as viewing morally neutral development approaches as not existing and critiquing technocratic rule by experts without accountability.
What role does liberalism play within security studies
Liberalism plays a key role in security studies by advocating for international cooperation through organizations like the UN and EU to increase global security. However, critics argue that liberal internationalism is not effective and ignores the security needs of states like Israel. While liberal policies around free trade and self-determination have correlated with less conflict between states, international institutions still struggle to prevent war when powerful states disregard their authority. Overall, liberalism has shaped modern security but debates remain around how to balance state sovereignty and global cooperation.

Humanitarian Action has become an instrument of power and domination. Disastars, where Nature fails to create them, stronger nations make an effort to create them, for Foreign policy and geopolitical advantages.
International Conflict
The document summarizes different types of international conflicts:
- Contemporary wars are occurring in the global South, particularly in Iraq, Western Sudan, and Afghanistan. Most peace agreements in postwar zones are holding.
- Types of war include hegemonic war, total war, limited war, civil war, and guerrilla war. The largest drivers of conflict are ethnic, religious, ideological, territorial, governmental, and economic. Nationalism has also been a major force shaping conflicts over the past two centuries.
What role does liberalism play within security studies
Liberalism plays a key role in security studies by advocating for an international system of order, liberty, justice and toleration. Liberal theories emphasize free trade between nations, democratic peace, and international organizations to resolve conflicts constitutionally. However, critics argue international institutions have limited ability to prevent war between powerful states. Additionally, some countries view liberal policies as detrimental to their security interests.
Introduction to Global Society
The document discusses several aspects of globalization including:
1) The economic manifestations include increasing international trade and finance through open doors to free trade and multinational corporations.
2) The political manifestations include globalization questioning the state-centric conception of world politics and increasing interdependence removing borders.
3) The social and cultural manifestations include increasing communication, shared experiences, and the globalization of popular culture through migration and the spread of Western media.

The Ideas and Dynamics of Civil Resistance
The modern practice of civil resistance sprang from new ideas about the underlying nature of political power that began to be framed about 170 years ago. As later developed by Gandhi and adopted by scores of movements and campaigns for rights and justice in recent decades, strategies of civil resistance have exhibited a common dynamic, propelled historic changes, and imparted certain political and social properties to their societies. The record of these strategies in liberating oppressed people, when compared to that of violent insurgency or revolt, has been remarkable – and suggests why political violence may substantially be reduced in the future.
Causes of war
The document outlines some of the key factors that can contribute to the outbreak of war between nations. It notes that countries may feel their needs for security, resources, land, and power are not being met through diplomacy or international organizations. They may also have fears about their neighbors' intentions and growing power. Along with nationalism and confidence in their military strength, these unmet needs and fears can create the political will for conflict. If a country also has the military capacity in terms of army size, weapons, logistics, technology, and intelligence, it may only take a triggering event and declarations of war for hostilities to break out.
Causes of war
The document discusses various causes of war at different levels of analysis, from the individual to the international system level. At the individual level, human nature and psychology are examined, including innate aggression and the decision-making processes of leaders. At the unit level, factors like domestic politics, nationalism, regime type and economic systems are considered. The system level focuses on the distribution of power between states and the security dilemma. Causes of interstate and intrastate wars are also analyzed. Strategies for managing intrastate wars include power-sharing agreements, federalism, consociationalism and foreign intervention.

Lecture #4: Conflict, War, and Terrorism
This document outlines different types of conflicts including hegemonic war, total war, limited war, civil war, and guerilla war. It then discusses various levels of analyzing conflict from the individual, domestic, interstate, and global levels. Six main types of conflicts are identified: ethnic, religious, ideological, territorial, governmental, and economic. Causes of conflicts such as nationalism, ethnic tensions, religious fundamentalism, territorial disputes, and proliferation of weapons are also examined.
The 8 main reasons for war
Wars have been a part of human history for thousands of years and have become increasingly destructive with advances in technology. Wars are typically fought between countries to achieve objectives through force, but can also be civil wars within a country. There are often many complex and intertwined reasons for wars beginning, rather than single clear causes. Eight main reasons proposed for wars are economic gain, territorial gain, religion, nationalism, revenge, civil war, revolutionary war, and defensive or preemptive war.
Isolationism vs non isolationism 1
The document discusses isolationism versus non-isolationism and cites views from several founding fathers. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson supported more isolationist views, with Washington advocating for limiting political connections with other nations and Jefferson wanting to abandon involvement in ocean trade to avoid conflicts. James Madison and Alexander Hamilton expressed more non-isolationist stances, with Madison stating tyranny could come disguised as a foreign enemy and Hamilton arguing for alliances and avoiding divisions that could be exploited by other nations. The document also notes the authors' stance is for economic but not military involvement overseas.
10 terrorism
The document discusses different types and definitions of terrorism. It notes that terrorism involves acts of violence to achieve political change, but definitions depend on views of the legitimacy of causes. Terrorist groups include left-wing, right-wing, ethno-nationalist/separatist, and religious groups. While most terrorist groups achieve little, some like the PLO negotiated gains after entering politics. The document traces the history of terrorism and its evolution, including the rise of al-Qaeda and its influential 9/11 attacks, which dramatically impacted subsequent international relations events like the US "War on Terror".

Capital punishment is the death penalty for serious crimes like murder. There is disagreement over whether it is moral or effective in deterring crime. Critics argue there is a risk of executing innocent people. Pacifism involves the belief that war and violence are unjustifiable and conflicts should be nonviolently resolved, often for religious or practical reasons. Amnesty International is an international human rights organization that campaigns to improve people's lives and end human rights abuses worldwide. The rules of just war state that war can only be waged defensively as an absolute last resort after all peace efforts fail, must avoid harming innocents, be as brief as possible, and aim to restore peace.
The democratic peace
The document discusses Immanuel Kant's theory of "perpetual peace" and how it relates to promoting democracy and peace. Kant argued that establishing republican governments with rule of law and respect for sovereignty would help establish peace. Several US presidents also expressed the view that democracies are less likely to go to war with each other. The document examines Kant's two-stage plan to establish peace and whether his theory can help inform policies to create a more peaceful world order today.
Peace journalism
This document provides an overview of peace journalism. It defines peace journalism as focusing on analyzing conflicts, transforming them to promote non-violence, and building awareness of non-violent responses. The document traces the origins of peace journalism to 1973 and Johan Galtung. It discusses how media can help peace processes by influencing stakeholders and public discourse. The document contrasts peace journalism with war journalism and notes peace journalism aims to de-escalate conflicts by presenting all sides in a balanced manner. It concludes that while peace is difficult, journalism can help bridge divides and influence policymakers when it adopts a balanced approach.

Slide 10 WestCal Political Science 5 Western Political Thought 2016
Political Science 5 - Western Political Thought provides an overall perspective of major political movements of history from the rising of Egyptian, Greek and Roman Empires to Fascism and Communism as seen by great political thinkers from Plato, Aristotle, and St. Augustine, Machiavelli, Marx, and Lenin. Students will analyze the most important ideas and theories that have been developed from the time of the ancient Greeks to the present day. Students will learn that the American Founding Fathers designed a viable representative government by first dedicating themselves to careful study of the political philosophy of Europeans, with particular attention given to British political thinkers from the 16th and 17th century. The founding fathers focused primarily on the natural rights of man, which in turn varied according to the individual philosopher studied. Over the course of their study, the founding fathers openly discussed their opinions with one another so as to properly bring forth differing views in order to prudently construct a government that would protect individual liberty, as well as determine what was required of government to protect civil liberties. The class is taught from the perspective of industry professionals with knowledge of how classical and modern political continues to influence American government. Students will learn of multiple career options relating to the field of political science.
Introducing speech
The document provides examples of speeches to fulfill different goals:
- Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King Jr. gave speeches to stimulate feelings in their audiences about important issues.
- University and World Bank presidents gave speeches to inform audiences about academic risks and the global economy.
- Advocates gave speeches to persuade audiences that children need support, famines should not be accepted, and healthcare should not operate like a business.
- Jonathan Edwards gave fiery sermons to activate audiences to save their souls from God's wrath.
- Comedian Will Rogers gave after-dinner speeches to entertain audiences with humor.
Confronting Genocides Scenarios
Genocide can be confronted in two ways: unilaterally, where one country acts alone, or multilaterally, where one country coordinates with multiple other countries to act together. Case studies are used to examine examples of both unilateral and multilateral approaches to confronting genocide.
DG11 Global Terrorism
This document discusses the major challenge of global terrorism. It begins with a definition of terrorism as the use of violence by sub-state groups to inspire fear and effect political change by attacking civilians or symbolic targets. The document then outlines how terrorism has evolved since 1968 due to factors like increased air travel, televised news coverage, and overlapping ideological interests among extremists. Samuel Huntington's theory of a clash of civilizations between Western and Islamic societies is discussed critically. The role of new technologies in enabling terrorists to communicate, coordinate attacks, spread propaganda, and become more lethal is also examined.
Increase your Options: technology as a force for good around the world
This document contains Anjali Ramachandran's keynote speech from the Digibury Weekender in October 2015. The speech discusses using technology as a force for good by increasing options and pursuing problems worth solving over commercial "non-problems." It includes quotes from researchers and founders discussing investigating the effects of social media on mood, seeking the minimum technology that creates maximum choices, and technology providing opportunities for rural networks. The speech concludes with Anjali's manifesto to commit to using technology for good and asking others to do the same to create a better society.

Big Hairy Projects
Innovation is difficult today due to economic pressures and fewer resources for research and development (R&D). Teams must carefully plan projects involving hundreds of requirements that may change and develop ideas through collaboration rather than unrealistic expectations. While breakthrough innovations receive attention, most organizations focus on incremental improvements to existing products to suit quick release schedules and keep customers satisfied. Managing changing requirements, clarity, and consensus are keys to controlling projects' scope. Successful teams reflect on failures to improve their processes.

16 Hotel Marketing Trends for 2016
2016 has arrived, and this past year has seen a slew of changes to the digital marketing landscape. The growth isn’t over, though – mobile is exploding and technology is expanding. That means that digital marketing, still a relatively young and swiftly-growing field, is rapidly growing and changing along with it.
As digital marketers on the cutting edge of new and effective ways to grow business for hoteliers, we at Net Affinity have put some serious thought into what the New Year has brought to the online landscape.
Here’s what we’re predicting.
18 Ways to Fill Your Hotel
This document provides 18 tips for hoteliers to boost bookings and revenue. Some key tips include developing guest personas to understand customers, creating a clear value proposition, optimizing the website for speed and simplicity, using compelling visuals and stories to engage guests, ensuring the design is mobile-friendly, analyzing data to understand customer behavior, and continually testing strategies to improve performance. The overall message is that a variety of digital marketing techniques can be leveraged to attract more customers and increase bookings if implemented effectively.
Devops is Dead
This document discusses the evolution of DevOps from the perspective of the author. It is presented in three parts: 1) Building a collaborative team by focusing on cooperation between developers and operations, 2) Integrating operations into an agile software development process through automation and unified teams, and 3) Changing the culture at a company called Jama to fully embrace DevOps principles like collaboration, continuous delivery, and transparency of work. The author argues that DevOps is an approach, not a job title, and that culture fit through collaboration is more important than technical skills alone.
The State of Requirements Management

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptx
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits.

TechnoXander Confirmation of Payee Product Pack 1.pdf
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

- 1. Open Your Eyes Recognize the dangers of neo-liberalism, globalism and unchecked laissez-faire capitalism!
- 4. Which side will you be a pawn for? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

- 7. Unlikely! What force controls both sides?
- 8. Think! Debate exists only within the limitations that powerful elites deem acceptable.
- 9. The Reason? That debate serves as a calculated distraction to preserve neo-liberalism and global imperialism!
- 11. The Reality When push comes to shove, the elites really do not support their pawns. They support each other.
