<p></p>
The February 24, 2022, invasion of Ukraine by the army of the Russian Federation not only marked a new watershed in terms of future international political setups but also called for more in-depth scientific discussion on the nature of war. The scenario of two regular armies facing each other in the heart of Europe suddenly catapulted us into the past, taking us back more than seventy years.We are currently facing a war that, in some ways, can be described as “traditional.” This would show how the Clausewitzian paradigm has not completely lost its heuristic value in analyzing contemporary wars, particularly regarding the role of the state, despite the variety of armed conflicts that have shaped the international

<p></p>
Charles Tilly’s “War Made the State, and the State Made War” is an oft-cited theoretical epithet, explaining the role of war in spurring state formation, but a growing body of literature refutes the state-making capabilities of war. Instead, it argues that the wars can undermine the legitimacy of an empire and give new life to nationalism and separatist movements within empires. Yasmin Khan’s The Raj at War: A People’s History of India’s Second World War provides a nuanced empirical test for the debate. Her argument—that India’s postwar decolonization was the result of the damage that World War II wrought upon the Indian state’s social structures and legitimacy—points to the revolutionary potential of interstate

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/973436
<p></p>
Women have served in the American armed forces since the American Revolution, with Margaret Cochran Corbin being the first woman to receive a military pension in the United States for her service during the American Revolution. Despite Corbin’s well-known contribution, women had no official role in the military for most of American history until the turn of the twentieth century, when an official role was created for women. First recognized as nurses, women volunteered and expanded the roles available to them in the military. In 2013, the final statutory barrier to women serving equally in the military was lifted. Women currently are enlisting in the military at higher rates than men and have increased in the

Ender et al (review)
https://muse.jhu.edu/article/973437
<p></p>
Inclusion in the American Military covers the breadth of diverse service members in the US Armed Forces, their personal experiences and contributions, and the significant impact of changing policies in their service. Diversity policies may be generated from within the organization or may be forced on the military by Congress and presidential orders. The all-volunteer force presents a challenge to increasing or sustaining diversity across the military.The book’s eleven chapters are organized into three parts. The first part examines race, ethnicity, and immigration status. The second covers sex and gender. The final part includes chapters on religious diversity, disabilities, government civilians, and contractors.

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/973438
<p></p>
Across Western societies, the war in Ukraine has renewed focus on Armed Forces recruitment and retainment procedures. In Europe, public concern about geopolitical security issues is on the rise and here the willingness to prioritize military expenditures has reached a level unseen for decades. In America, the US Army relaunched the recruitment slogan “be all you can be,” paraphrased in the title above. The rationale behind this may only have been vaguely connected to the current security situation (Hauptman 2022). Given, however, that the slogan was initially used at the heyday of the Cold War, its “reinvention” nevertheless contributes to the feeling that we are living through what could be seen as a “Security

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/973439
<p></p>
The governance of migration has become one of the most contentious policy issues of our times. In national capitals across Europe, for example, public discourse is consistently rife with debates about who should be allowed across European borders, who should be left out, and which criteria should be applied to regulate admissions. “What makes Ukrainian refugees different from other refugees in the eyes of Europeans?” (Moise, Dennison, and Kriesi 2023). Does the European Union’s (EU’s) Pact on Migration and Asylum strike the golden mean between the principles of solidarity and responsibility, as claimed by its supporters, or rather perpetuate a policy of deterrence and exclusion of the “other”?Dan Bulley’s timely

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/973440
<p></p>
Recently, due to the declassification of documents in several countries, we have begun to develop a proper, historically informed sense of the fact that the Cold War was not so cold in the Third World. Jovan Čavoški’s Non-Aligned Movement Summits provides a similar perspective on the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), drawing on evidence from multiple archives in India, Myanmar, Serbia, China, and other locations. Yet it goes much further by focusing in detail on the politics within the movement and between its members. In this regard, unlike most works about the Cold War outside the superpower blocs, the book treats the non-aligned nations on their own terms, rather than as merely responding to great power politics or

China will work to promote a new type of international relations of win-win cooperation and will always remain a staunch force for world peace and common development.China has announced its arrival as a power player on the international stage, and it is intent upon challenging the current norms of international relations (State Council Information Office of the People’s Republic of China [PRC], 2019). A key part of this effort has been the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)—allowing China to engage with nations through its vision of international relations. In 2015, President Xi Jinping gave the keynote speech at the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference. In it, he called for Asia “to build a community of common
