Although he stresses that it would be a violation of humanitarian donorship principles to use food assistance as a political bargaining chip, he says skilful international diplomacy can at least get North Korea talking rather than busying itself with provocative attacks. http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-podcasts/survival-webcasts/pyongyang-should-pay-for-the-food-it-seeks/ 58965 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20111004000000 Tue, 04 Oct 2011 15:38:46 GMT 20111004153846 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:38:50 GMT 2011120111113850 By Mark Fitzpatrick, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament Programme http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-experts-commentary/assessing-irans-nuclear-program-without-exaggeration-or-complacency/ 59057 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT 20111006000000 Thu, 06 Oct 2011 11:08:31 GMT 20111006110831 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 17:58:50 GMT 201110181755850 By Dr Andrew Parasiliti, Executive Director IISS-US, Corresponding Director IISS-Middle East http://www.iiss.org/whats-new/iiss-experts-commentary/us-pullout-is-on-track-in-iraq-but-obama-wont-get-any-electoral-bounce/ 58888 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 02:19:27 GMT 20111003021927 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 00:29:21 GMT 20111003002921 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 02:19:26 GMT 201110030221926 by Mark Fitzpatrick Survival: Global Politics and Strategy, vol. 53, no. 5, OctoberNovember 2011, pp. 2127 http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2011/year-2011-issue-5/pyongyang-should-pay-for-the-food-it-seeks/ 58606 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:49:34 GMT 20110929164934 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 15:16:48 GMT 20110922151648 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:49:34 GMT 201109291644934 Political scandals have a way of convulsing a nation, reaching a climax that usually involves somebodys humiliation before subsiding and fading into history. In summer 2011, Britain was engulfed by a classic scandal in which the ultimate subject of humiliation was media baron Rupert Murdoch, and in which several other prominent careers were curtailed. There was plenty of sound and fury, but what did it signify? http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2011/year-2011-issue-5/dangerous-liaisons/ 58643 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:25:55 GMT 20120206172555 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:42:50 GMT 20110923104250 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:25:54 GMT 201202061752554 As Irans nuclear programme edges closer to weapons capability, the nations concerned about this prospect have centred on sanctions as their favoured policy tool. Critics find this foolhardy because they see no obvious signs that sanctions are working. But sanctions are helping to limit Irans ability to quickly assemble a nuclear arsenal. They are also creating conditions for an eventual negotiated solution. http://www.iiss.org/publications/survival/survival-2011/year-2011-issue-5/sanctions-on-iran-defining-and-enabling-success/ 58640 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:56:27 GMT 20120201155627 Fri, 23 Sep 2011 10:14:47 GMT 20110923101447 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:56:26 GMT 201202011535626 Improving national response and mitigation capacities could significantly decrease the risks to the public in case of a terrorist attack using nuclear material.

Where does naval diplomacy end and gunboat diplomacy begin? What drives the use of gunboat diplomacy?

But many circumstances of the Libya intervention were especially favourable to NATO and there was no credible Libyan threat to NATO bases, communications and so on.
