At this IISS meeting, they question any symbiosis between the two organisations, and ask what this means for Western policies. http://www.iiss.org/events-calendar/2012-events-archive/february-2012/the-myth-of-the-taliban-al-qaeda-merger/ 62581 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:08:41 GMT 20120208170841 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:53:08 GMT 20120208155308 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:08:40 GMT 201202081750840 16 February 2012 - Discussion Meeting - Preventing Iranian nuclear weaponisation: the state of the debate Professor Shai Feldman, Judith and Sidney Swartz Director of the Crown Center for Middle East Studies and Professor of Politics, Brandeis University will speak on 'Preventing Iranian nuclear weaponisation: the state of the debate' at the IISS in London on Thursday 16 February 2012 from 11:30am-12:30pm. http://www.iiss.org/events-calendar/2012-events-archive/february-2012/preventing-iranian-nuclear-weaponisation-the-state-of-the-debate/ 62393 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:07:47 GMT 20120203120747 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:56:48 GMT 20120203115648 Fri, 03 Feb 2012 12:07:47 GMT 2012020312120747 21 February 2012 - Discussion Meeting - Countering the threat of improvised explosive devices Lieutenant General Michael Barbero, Director, Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, US Army will discuss 'Countering the threat of improvised explosive devices' on Tuesday 21 February 2012 6:30-7:30pm. http://www.iiss.org/events-calendar/2012-events-archive/february-2012/countering-the-threat-of-improvised-explosive-devices/ 62602 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:30:28 GMT 20120209113028 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:08:41 GMT 20120209110841 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:30:27 GMT 2012020911113027 29 February 2012 - Oppenheimer Lecture 2012 - Nana Akufo-Addo Nana Akufo-Addo, the 2012 presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Ghana will deliver the 2012 Opppheimer lecture on 'The future of democracy in Africa and the Arab Spring' on Wednesday 29 February 2012. http://www.iiss.org/conferences/oppenheimer-lecture/oppenheimer-lecture-2012-nana-akufo-addo/ 62660 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:19:05 GMT 20120210221905 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:25:25 GMT 20120210162525 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:19:05 GMT 2012021022101905 07 March 2012 - IISS Book Launch - The Military Balance 2012 The Military Balance 2012, the annual assessment of the military capabilities and defence economics of 170 countries world-wide will be launched on Wednesday 07 March 2012. http://www.iiss.org/events-calendar/forthcoming-events/iiss-book-launch-the-military-balance-2012/ 62280 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:07:04 GMT 20120131130704 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:55:57 GMT 20120131125557 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:07:03 GMT 201201311310703
