description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science to the School of Law, Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis studies Anti-Money Laundering Law and Counter Terrorist Financing (AML/CTF). The thesis is organised into two parts. The first part provides background information on the subject of money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF), including important related issues, international initiatives aimed at combating ML/TF, international standards and the elements of an effective AML/CTF framework. The second part focuses on comparing Thailand’s AML/CTF framework with the framework that exists in Australia. The thesis shows how domestic law enforcement institutions, structures, laws, policies and programs have changed since the notorious 9/11 attacks that took place in the USA. The fundamental premise is that a developing country can learn from the experiences of a developed country such as Thailand. The substance of this thesis, therefore, examines how Thailand may deal with and adapt its laws in order to tackle the threats posed by modern terrorism against the Thai nation state. The ultimate goal of this thesis is not just to compare and contrast the AML/CTF practices of Thailand with those of Australia as a standard setter, but also to make meaningful suggestions on how both countries can improve their AML/CTF practices and laws.

description: We perform stochastic microsimulations of the dynamics of England and Wales population after the British referendum on EU membership, considering different possible outcomes. Employing available survey data, we model the demographics of the region over the next generation, as shaped by births, deaths and international migration. The migration patterns between England and Wales and the remaining EU countries are modified according to the possible scenarios of their future relations. We find that Brexit will accelerate the overall population ageing and the deepening imbalance between workers and retirees but reduce the population growth and the fraction of women of reproductive age. In the alternative scenarios of remaining in the EU these effects will be partially forestalled by the influx of immigrants from current and prospective EU countries and their children. In all considered scenarios the native British population declines. Our study demonstrates that microsimulations can be a useful tool for designing and evaluating the country's policies in the advent of fundamental transformations.

description: A search for the electroweak production of a vector-like quark T$'$, decaying to a top quark and a Higgs boson is presented. The search is based on a sample of proton-proton collision events recorded at the LHC at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$. This is the first T$'$ search that exploits the Higgs boson decay to a pair of photons. For narrow isospin singlet T$'$ states with masses up to 1.1 TeV, the excellent diphoton invariant mass resolution of 1-2% results in an increased sensitivity compared to previous searches based on the same production mechanism. The electroweak production of a T$'$ quark with mass up to 960 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming a coupling strength $\kappa_\mathrm{T}$ = 0.25 and a relative decay width $\Gamma/M_{\mathrm{T}'} \lt$ 5%.

description: How Belly Dance practitioners in England construct a sense of self-identity, social-identity and identity-in-practice in a border-crossing Belly Dance ethnoscape is of interest for this research project. What kinds of identities-in-practice do Belly Dancers in England construct in order to authenticate their performance? By applying social theories of education and identity formation, in particular Holland et al’s “figured worlds” (2001), it is possible to critically frame the development of a practitioner’s Belly Dance identity over a period of time. The research presents the case that Belly Dance in England has an identifiable past and present practice, one that continually wrestles with ownership of what is apparently a Middle Eastern cultural export. Drawing from a literature based case study of two pioneering artists in the early 1980s, Hilal and Buonaventura, the research describes a distinctive English Belly Dance tradition and identities. There is an explanation of how the English Belly Dance form has since competed on the global stage. The research also describes how current inheritors of that tradition −Anne White, Caroline Afifi and Siouxsie Cooper are taken as case studies− appropriate and signal Egyptian Belly Dance as the dominant reference point from which to authenticate their dancing practice; whilst at the same time subverting the Orientalist paradigm underpinning the Belly Dance trope. Identifying “narratives of authenticity” enable the current generations of English Belly Dancers to form distinctive Belly Dancing identities-in-practice. Drawing from both social theories of education and identity formation and reflexive ethnographic modes of inquiry, Walk like an Egyptian examines Belly Dance in England as a translocated dance form, and the mechanisms which allow its authenticity are analysed. In answer to the research question it is possible for an English practitioner of Belly Dance to produce an authentic Belly Dance performance through the production of various narratives of authenticity, narratives which both borrow from and resist pre-existing narratives of authenticity.
The mythology of counter-insurgency

description: Counter-Insurgency is the most political form of warfare. Unlike other forms of war the political or ideological proclivities of entire populations are at stake. Counter-Insurgency has, due this, confounded and bewildered practitioners, academics and policy makers alike for the longest time. Only in the latter quarter of the 20th century, after the visceral war fought for South-Vietnam’s soul, did military officers, academics and government officials feel they had broken the code of counter-insurgency. The problem was, it was determined, that counter-insurgency’s code was primarily political and not military or a combination of both, as previously thought. The key to waging counter-insurgency then lay on the political plane, through a plan revolving around compelling one’s adversary to negotiate and reach a political accord as an end to the conflict. As such the popular understanding of counter-insurgency has become that to be successful a plan of action to quell insurrection must be more politically than militarily based. But is this correct, has the code truly been cracked? The following thesis aims to examine this claim, proffer a counter-point, analyse supporting evidence to the riposte and draw conclusions based on this evidence. The following thesis then is less thesis and more anti-thesis, aiming to undercut the popular thesis of the field by positing a radical assertion for the field of counter-insurgency analysis, particularly in today’s political climate. That assertion can be summed thusly - counter-insurgency wars can indeed be resolved favourably for counter-insurgent practitioners by nought but military means alone, without support from or regard for political considerations vis a vis insurgent elements. To accomplish this the thesis will examine the current literature and schools of thought in the field within the introduction, conduct two case studies on the American Civil War and Chechen Wars to illuminate insurrectionary conflicts resolved by military might, and finally posit conclusions based on the analysis this approach permits. The drive train for the following theoretical enquiry thus is the review of the field’s very core, an analysis of its most basest nature and the questioning of the current understanding of the phenomena to better understand this most complex form of warfare and political/ideologically driven violence.

(Figs. 24, 40, 61)
Type locality. Thailand, Loei Prov., Phu Kradung Nat. Park.
Type material. Holotype ɗ (NMPC), labelled: “ THAI [Thailand], NE, Loei prov., Phu / Kradung N.P., 1000m / 16°52’N, 101°49’E, 16– / 17.v.1999, D.Hauck leg. [printed]”.
Description. Habitus elongate, fusiform. Body colouring dark brown. Setation consists of dominant recumbent light brown setae covering most of dorsal surface, thus the colouration of the body seems to be paler than the colour of integument, and grey setae form ocellations on the pronotum and elytra (Fig. 61). On the abdominal sternites, whitish setae predominate over brown ones.
Measurements. Male: 21 mm.
Head punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures. Antenna robust, last antennomere 2.05 times as long as wide (Fig. 40), its ventral side smooth with numerous small tubercles.
Pronotum transverse, 2.32 times as wide as long. Sides almost regularly rounded. Dorsal surface convex. Punctation consists of moderately large setigerous punctures, distributed sparsely on the disc, and densely laterally.
Elytra with numerous longitudinal rows of large setigerous punctures, and very fine interstitial punctures.
Ventral part almost uniformly densely punctured with fine punctures. Last abdominal ventrite laterally regularly rounded to apex.
Male. Aedeagus with phallobase longer than parameres. Parameres simple, narrowed in basal fourth of their length and than widened again to apex. Parameral subbasal hook well developed, but the subapical hook is very small. Median lobe very slender, subparallel (Fig. 24).
Female. Unknown.
Differential diagnosis. Eulichas haucki sp. nov. can be easily recognised by the bicoloured light brown and grey body setation, and by the characteristic shape of the aedeagus. The parameres of this species are constricted in the basal quarter of their length, and then widened again to apex. Their subapical hook is very small.
Collection circumstances. Collected at light.
Distribution. So far known only from the type locality in north-eastern Thailand.
Etymology. The new species is dedicated to its collector, my friend David Hauck (Brno, Czech Republic), a specialist on Alleculinae.

description: We investigate the primordial gravitational waves (PGWs) in the general scenario where the inflation is preceded by a pre-inflationary stage with the effective equation of state $w$. Comparing with the results in the usual inflationary models, the power spectrum of PGWs is modified in two aspects: One is the mixture of the perturbation modes caused by he presence of the pre-inflationary period, and the other is the thermal initial state formed at the Planck era of the early Universe. By investigating the observational imprints of these modifications on the B-mode polarization of cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, we obtain the constraints on the conformal temperature of the thermal gravitational-wave background $T<5.01\times 10^{-4}$Mpc$^{-1}$ and a tensor-to-scalar ratio $r<0.084$ ($95\%$ confident level), which follows the bounds on total number of e-folds $N>63.5$ for the model with $w=1/3$, and $N>65.7$ for that with $w=1$. By taking into account various noises and the foreground radiations, we forecast the detection possibility of the thermal gravitational-wave background by the future CMBPol mission, and find that if $r>0.01$, the detection is possible as long as $T>1.5\times 10^{-4}$Mpc$^{-1}$. However, the effect of different $w$ is quite small, and it seems impossible to determine its value from the potential observations of CMBPol mission.

Letters close: political communication in Thirteenth-Century England
Creators: name: Neal, Kathleen Bronwyn
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Edward I of England (1272-1307), best known to modern audiences as ‘the Hammer of the Scots’ and the founder of the English Parliament, corresponded with hundreds of aristocrats and officials. Several thousand of these letters survive. Letters were a crucial part of his political strategy. They facilitated governance by directing royal representatives scattered over a large realm, and thus enabled the king to consolidate power in the wake of the baronial rebellion that occupied the last decades of his father’s rule. Adopting a case study approach, this thesis argues that the rhetoric of such administrative correspondence was politically meaningful despite its often formulaic appearance. Reading hitherto unexamined letters in light of both contextual detail and the standard epistolary structures advocated by medieval theorists I interpret these sources as social artefacts that both reflected and sought to influence the relationship of the political community to the crown. In so doing, I suggest a new understanding of how kingly authority was made and maintained in the 13th century. My approach provides a method for reading other extant royal letters as episodes of strategic communication, not simply and only as relics of a well-developed medieval bureaucracy.

description: Solid-state spin arrays are being engineered in varied systems, including gated coupled quantum dots and interacting dopants in semiconductor structures. Beyond quantum computation, these arrays are useful integrated analog simulators for many-body models. As entanglement between individual spins is extremely short ranged in these models, one has to measure the entanglement entropy of a block in order to truly verify their many-body entangled nature. Remarkably, the characteristic scaling of entanglement entropy, predicted by conformal field theory, has never been measured. Here we show that with as few as two replicas of a spin array, and capacitive double-dot singlet-triplet measurements on neighboring spin pairs, the above scaling of the entanglement entropy can be verified. This opens up the controlled simulation of quantum field theories, as we exemplify with uniform chains and Kondo-type impurity models, in engineered solid-state systems. Our procedure remains effective even in the presence of typical imperfections of realistic quantum devices and can be used for thermometry, and to bound entanglement and discord in mixed many-body states.

The musical is drama: apollonian and dionysian dynamics and liminal ruptures in the contemporary musical theatre.
Creators: name: Lockitt, Matthew James
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This research contributes to a growing body of scholarship that, from numerous perspectives, recognises that the Musical Theatre is a complex form. The ‘integrated’ Musical––in which, song and dance contribute seamlessly to the progression of character and plot––dominated the Musical stage from 1940s through to the 60s. Still, the ideals of integration govern the structural foundations of the majority of commercially successful musicals. Nevertheless, recent musical theatre scholarship––acknowledging the disparate aesthetic qualities of speech, song, and dance––questions the notion of integration, favouring the alternative concept of disjunction. However, neither integration nor disjunction adequately contributes to an understanding of what is occurring within the dramatic moment, or to why a character may, or may not, sing. To redress this theoretical inadequacy, this thesis employs a two-fold theoretical approach, applying the concepts of Liminality and the Apollonian and the Dionysian as hermeneutic devices to situate the character within the dramatic action. A close reading of the relationship between the character’s relationship to the book and the score, as well as the choreography, forms the basis of the analytical approach throughout the dissertation. This dissertation offers an in-depth reading of word, music, and movment as conveyors of the dramatic action, acknowledging the interactions between these primary elements as a fundamental source from which the Musical derives its complexity. I employ the liminal models of Social Drama and the Liminoid, devised by Victor Turner, to articulate the different functions of the two primary song types: the book song and the diegetic song. To further explicate a character’s psychological state, I utilise Friedrich Nietzsche’s conception of the objective Apollonian and the subjective Dionysian, as means of more closely reading the interactions of the primary elements in relation to the dramatic action. Finally, I appropriate Turner’s concept of Communitas, which reflects Nietzsche’s notion of the original Unity, to consider various representations of belonging conveyed through the musical score and staging. The central findings of this research also exhibit the potential to be implemented in a practical context contributing to both performer training and the writing/rehearsal process. Significantly, this dissertation acknowledges that the musical is a dramatic form, and that the elements of word, music, and movement, function in response, relation to, a dramatic situation.

"A democrat towards knowledge": the work of Geoffrey Blainey
Creators: name: Allsop, Richard Matthew
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This thesis studies the career of Geoffrey Blainey, both as a historian and controversialist. It considers what factors contributed to his success as a writer of works of history and how he became a high-profile public figure. When he commented on the issue of Asian immigration in 1984, this profile ensured that his views made front page news and led to a situation where his historical writing was read through the prism of his political views by friend and foe alike. The thesis takes issue with simplistic post-1984 categorisations of Blainey as a “conservative historian”. It argues that, in his desire to find material explanations for historical events, Blainey has often seemed closer to the materialists of the Left, such as Marxists or the Annales school, than to the traditional conservative conception of history being driven by politics, wars and ‘great men’. There also needs to be a renewed recognition that at the time of its publication in 1975 Blainey’s Triumph of the Nomads was regarded as the most prominent progressive treatment of Aboriginal history to have been written to that time. This focus on materialist factors in history was also evident in Blainey’s ongoing interest in economic issues. He was an active participant in the big economic policy debates in the 1980s and 1990s, something which has received little attention from other historians, but which is crucial to understanding his later writing on Australian history. Blainey has never been a typical professional historian. He started his adult working life as a freelance historian and he has always maintained the belief that the research and writing of history should happen in the marketplace as much as in the academy. A utilitarian approach that history is about finding out interesting things about the past and then sharing them with as broad an audience as possible has been a constant feature of his historical method. For three decades the differences were accommodated but the evolution of Blainey’s outlook, and more significant changes in the dominant views of the history academy, meant that by the 1980s a schism had developed between Blainey and other historians. Understanding how and why that schism occurred not only sheds light on Blainey’s career, but also on the practice of history in Australia.

Indistinguishability as nonlocality constraint

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A physical explanation for quantum bounds to nonlocality (Tsirelson's bound) is a fundamental problem that remains open, and one approach to explaining its origins is the so-called Exclusivity principle, relying on probabilistic assumptions shaping general probabilistic theories through sharp measurements and compatible (non-local) measurements. Information indistinguishability, presented here as indistinguishability of qubits and more general bits, may serve as an answer to the nonlocality conundrum, ultimately placing it as the origin to quantum limits. We connect indistinguishability to the exclusivity principle and show that indistinguishability leads to quantum bounds. With that, we suggest indistinguishability to be as fundamental as non-locality and relativistic causality for nonlocal realism.

Locality and Efficient Evaluation of Lattice Composite Fields: Overlap-Based Gauge Operators

description: We propose a novel general approach to locality of lattice composite fields, which in case of QCD involves locality in both quark and gauge degrees of freedom. The method is applied to gauge operators based on the overlap Dirac matrix elements, showing for the first time their local nature on realistic path-integral backgrounds. The framework entails a method for efficient evaluation of such non-ultralocal operators, whose computational cost is volume-indepenent at fixed accuracy, and only grows logarithmically as this accuracy approaches zero. This makes computation of useful operators, such as overlap-based topological density, practical. The key notion underlying these features is that of exponential insensitivity to distant fields, made rigorous by introducing the procedure of statistical regularization. The scales associated with insensitivity property are useful characteristics of non-local continuum operators.

Tourism and the neotraditional: an ethnography of tourism and traditional culture in Vanuatu
Creators: name: Cheer, Joseph Martin
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: That tourism development imbues productive grassroots outcomes in less developed countries is widely contested. Proponents laud its economic impetus, while critics bemoan its tendency to be neocolonial, fostering monopolistic and oligopolistic interests and generally paying scant regard to local-level concerns. Malcolm Crick (1989) refers to tourism as “conspicuous consumption in front of the deprived” and captures the reality of the host-guest interface in Vanuatu. Assessing tourism’s efficacy is problematic, imprecise, complex and vastly neglected. Consequently, analysis of tourism tends to be contentious and premised on weak empirical bases, dominated by economic concerns and with little regard to non-economic matters. In Vanuatu, traditional culture exemplifies the essential character of people and place and as well as offering ni-Vanuatus fortitude, is a drawcard for international tourists. This thesis is an ethnographic examination of the tourism-traditional culture nexus as personified in the tradition-modernity binary. Kastom (tradition) and the kastom ekonomi (traditional economy) frame traditional culture and local socialities, give people resilience and in a classic Polanyian (Polanyi, 1957; Dalton, 1968) sense, is embedded in society and social relationships. The transition from the traditional to the modern is denoted as the neotraditional by Marshall Sahlins (2005). Sahlins’ (ibid., p. 23) theoretical notion developman, articulated as the “indigenous way of coping with capitalism” is applied in this thesis. In Vanuatu, tourism has significant presence within the kastom ekonomi and is a key agent in the emergence of the neotraditional. This research argues that establishing a harmonious relationship with traditional culture may make way for improved tourism outcomes. At a local-level there is tacit acceptance that the diminishment of traditionalisms is offset by gains made in the neotraditional. Reconciling the tensions of the tourism-traditional culture interface holds theoretical and practical implications concerning how tourism and other non-traditional industries may provoke more fecund and enduring grassroots outcomes.

The politics and economics of resilience: peasant perceptions and responses to disaster in the Sundarban area, Bangladesh

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study investigates the coping and adaptation processes of Bangladeshi peasants after the natural disaster of Cyclone Aila in 2009. The focus is on the experience of peasants and how they responded to the losses caused by the cyclone. Using 72 in-depth interviews with peasants, shrimp farmers, local leaders, labour contractors, engineers and NGO staff, this study analyses the aftermath of Cyclone Aila in two villages in the Satkhira district located in the Sundarban delta of Bangladesh. One of the villages, Gorkumarpur, was considerably more economically backward and poorer than the other, the village of Mollapara. This thesis discovered that peasants saw corruption and the conflict between local interest groups as one of the major obstacles to reconstruction of the damaged embankments. It also found that the peasants were able to cope with this natural calamity by taking up a range of casual jobs. Such employment was essential after the initial relief initiatives ended. A second, longer-term adaptation strategy involved some peasant families migrating to other parts of Bangladesh and to India. Distress migration after 2009 was superficially reminiscent of the migration that occurred during the Bengal Famine of 1943. However, it was not the poorest of the poor who typically migrated after 2009 but those who had access to at least some resources. Migration was costly. Moreover, migration had serious consequences for the new host societies, especially the tribal people of the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

In addition, we investigate the problem of characterization of norm parallelism for bounded linear operators. We consider the characterization of norm parallelism problem in p Schatten ideals and locally uniformly convex spaces. Later on, we study the case when an operator is norm parallel to the identity operator. Finally, we give some equivalence assertions about the norm parallelism of compact operators.

Subjects: Seaports; Poland Management

description: The service sector of economy is a field of growing interest to marketing research and in particular such services as provided by seaports. However, these activities have rarely been considered to date. This project consists of three parts. Firstly a review of service marketing approaches, their status and development, the nature of marketing strategies and the marketing mix had to be provided. Also the development of marketing in seaports had to be examined. The focal elements discussed were the elements of the services provided by seaports, and competition between them in the context of Poland Secondly the situation in Eastern Europe and Poland under the communist rule and during the transition had to be provided. This part examined East European economic development, focusing down upon Poland and the consequenceso f the changesi n recent years particularly for the maritime sector and its structure and ownership. Thirdly, an analysis of marketing strategies in the main international ports of Poland were developed, with particular reference to their potential users' point of view, in the context of recent economic and market changes. A conceptual model had been developed to analyse these changing strategies that resulted in a derivation of a multivariate approach (cluster, factor or conjoint analysis) to accommodate the large number and diversity of variables that are required. A structured interview approach, plus mail survey techniques were used to collect the data in direct interviews with the Polish port authorities and the operating companies. More questionnaires were distributed amongst the most important maritime companies. Problems of language, customs and accessibility to individuals and data were overcome, as the researcher is a native Pole wi * th good English and Russian skills and close contacts with port experts at the University of Gdansk. Finally analysis from the data obtained from both personal interviews and mail surveys resulted in the identification of the main,, underlying constructs of. the marketing strategies in the ports of Gdansk and Gdynia as,.'p erceived by their users. Application of factor analysis indicated the existence of six main factors in"each of the ports. The results were valid and reliable and also supported on a-theoretical basis from the service marketing and port marketing literature. A discussion of the results provides implications for practitioners. The research shows that some of the elements of the marketing mix are less developed than others as seen by customers. It can help marketing managers to alter their strategies and better satisfy customers' desires. Furthermore, implications for theory development, research methodology and scope for future research in transition countries and port industries are discussed.

description: Besides well-known grapevine trunk disease (GTD)-related pathogens, there is an increased interest in wood-colonizing fungi that infect grapevines. During 2017-2018, a survey was conducted in Cyprus and wood samples were collected from vines exhibiting typical GTD symptoms. Based on morphological and multilocus phylogenetic analyses (ITS, LSU, bt2, tef1-a) four species in the Sporocadaceae family were described and typified; two in the Seimatosporium genus: Seim. cyprium sp. nov. and Seim. vitis-viniferae and two in the Sporocadus genus: Spo. kurdistanicus and Spo. rosigena. The teleomorph of Seim. cyprium sp. nov. was also described. Pathogenicity trials with representative isolates of each species were performed on woody stems of two-year-old potted grapevines (cv. Xynisteri). All isolates were pathogenic, causing dark brown to black vascular discoloration, extending upward and downward from the inoculation site. Sporocadusisolates were significantly more aggressive than Seimatosporium with lesions length ranging 9.24 to 6.90 and 4.13 to 4.00 cm, respectively. Successful re-isolations were evident for all species and isolates. Seim. cyprium sp. nov. is a newly described species, while Spo. kurdistanicus and Spo. rosigena are reported for the first time in Europe; all species causing symptoms on Vitis vinifera and suggesting a potential role of Sporocadaceae in the GTDs complex.
A study of the process $e^+ +e^- \to e^+ +e^- p \bar {p}$ by the two-photon mechanism $γγ\to p \bar {p}$ at high energies

description: In this paper we consider the exclusive production of proton-antiproton pairs in the interaction between two quasireal photons in $e^+e^-$ collision. The differential and total cross section of the process $γγ\to p\bar {p}$ at a beam energy of photons from 2.1 GeV to 4.5 GeV in the center-of-mass and for different values of $|cosθ^{\ast}|$ is calculated. At energy $$=197 \,\,GeV the total cross section process o0f the $e^+ +e^- \to e^+ +e^- +p +\bar {p}$ is calculated by the two-photon mechanism. The results are in satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.

description: We study micromotion in two-dimensional periodically driven systems in which all bulk Floquet eigenstates are localized by disorder. We show that this micromotion gives rise to a quantized time-averaged magnetization density when the system is filled with fermions. Furthermore we find that a quantized current flows around the boundary of any filled region of finite extent. The quantization has a topological origin: we relate the time-averaged magnetization density to the winding number characterizing the new phase identified in Phys. Rev. X 6, 021013 (2016). We thus establish that the winding number invariant can be accessed directly in bulk measurements, and propose an experimental protocol to do so using interferometry in cold atom based realizations.

The evolution of joint warfare and China’s military modernisation

description: Joint Warfare has become pre-eminent military doctrine of American forces after the enactment of the Goldwater-Nichols Act in 1986. American forces’ clear superiority and operational efficiency, in wars during 1991-2003, has attracted global interest in the doctrine, not least from Beijing. Hence, joint warfare has become the centerpiece of military doctrine for China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) throughout the last 20 years. In China, the military doctrine has moved from ‘People’s War’ to ‘People’s War Under Modern Conditions’ to ‘Local/Limited Warfare’ to ‘Local/Limited War Under High-Tech Conditions’ and further to ‘Local/Limited War Under Informatised Conditions’. The ‘informatised conditions’ in this doctrine indicate to interconnection, intercommunication and interoperation among fighting units. Hence, the new doctrine of ‘Local War Under Informatised Conditions’ is in reality, ‘Local War Under Joint Operational Conditions’. The focus of the PLA has moved towards precision guided weapons, Special Forces operations, advanced C4ISR developments and joint operations. Further, PLA’s theoretical understanding of the Joint Warfare Doctrine has improved considerably. It has succeeded in achieving a fair level of efficiency in the joint training exercises at tactical and campaign levels. In addition, the PLA has developed joint information systems for network warfare capability, synchronisation of unit actions and better efficiency. At the campaign level, PLA is developing ‘Integrated Command Platforms (ICPs)’. Additionally, China is developing joint logistics systems and a joint officer corps. The PLA has also increased its materiel capabilities substantially across ground, air, naval and other domains, in qualitative and quantitative dimensions. However, major obstacles such as corruption, lack of jointness at higher defence echelons, lack of battle experience, and other structural and materiel gaps have hampered the integration process. Due to these gaps, the PLA is yet to develop a better and efficient level of jointness and interoperability. Consequently, China’s long range expeditionary capability remains limited.
The children of Adam: a study of the Islamic understanding of community (umma) from the classical to contemporary ages

description: The Medina Charter was composed by the Prophet Muḥammad as a solution to conflict between tribal groups at Medina. This document defines community (umma) pluralistically, incorporating Muslims, Jews, possibly Christians, and non-Muslim Arabs. Scholars have variously defined the Medina Charter as a mutual defence pact, a secular agreement, or a community in which monotheistic religion replaces tribe as the central unifying principle. This research proposes another argument: that umma in the Medina Charter should be read as an intertextual application of Qur’ānic principles to society. The argument involves three closely related hypotheses: First, in the Medina Charter, umma is defined not by tribal membership, nor by adherence to a single religious law, but instead by attributes shared by all members of the agreement, modelled after the moderate Nation of Abraham. Moderation was the shared ethical space or common good where the various religions and sub-groups overlapped. This concept of a moderate umma was articulated further through the Qur’ānic concepts umma wasaṭ (moderate contingent among Muslims) and umma muqtaṣida (moderate contingent among non-Muslim monotheists). Second, although during and after the Islamic conquests following the death of the Prophet the term umma came to refer specifically to the Muslim community, as an exemplar of moderation and religious tolerance it was perpetuated into the caliphal period through Qur’ānic exegesis (tafsīr), Sufism (taṣawwuf) and law. This notwithstanding, in the new imperial context the ideal model was applied often according to essentially functional and pragmatic social imperatives. Third, the introduction of political ideologies within the context of colonial and postcolonial circumstances was, in some cases, influential in transforming the interpretation of umma into a more exclusive definition connected to the concept of the nation state. It is therefore argued that certain more ideological interpretations of umma in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries represent not a return to earlier classical definitions of community, but rather in some respects a divergence from them.
