Civilian Cooperation and Non-Cooperation with Non-State Armed Groups: The Centrality of Obedience and Resistance

Abstract

Terms like ‘support’ and ‘collaboration’ are often used interchangeably to denote a loose set of acts or attitudes that benefit non-state armed groups (NSAGs). However, these terms are seldom defined, and the alternatives available to civilians are rarely identified. Moreover, existing approaches overlook that the interaction between civilians and NSAGs is often one between ruler and ruled, which makes obedience and resistance central. This paper proposes to conceptualize the choices available to civilians as forms of cooperation and non-cooperation, offers a typology, and discusses the implications for theory building on civilian and NSAG behavior, and on the functioning of armed social orders.

一种基于SIFT特征的抗几何攻击水印算法研究

尺度不变特征变换描述子已经应用于数字图像水印的构造,但图像存在相似区域时易造成误匹配问题,基于此提出一种改进的RIT—SIFT数字图像水印算法．水印嵌入时先对图像进行分块,然后将水印分别嵌入子块的非下采样Contourlet变换低频子带中,既简化了水印嵌人又增加了嵌入容量．图像匹配时利用SIFT算法在原始图像中寻找局部特征点,将旋转不变纹理特征信息融合到传统SIFT特征向量中,更加全面地描述图像信息,提高了匹配精度．实验结果表明,提出的算法是有效的,对全局和局部几何攻击、组合攻击以及常规攻击均具有很好的鲁棒性．     

战术数据链网络同步技术的一种改进算法

现有的Link16网络同步算法,假定了询问与应答报文的传播时间相同,导致E值误差较大。提出一种改进算法,待同步JU相继向网内不同NTR发送询问报文,NTR分别发回应答报文。同时NTR间也发送往返计时报文,通过联立计算,提高时间误差的精度。改进算法的仿真分析结果,验证了新同步算法的可行性和有效性。     

Local defence forces and counterinsurgency in Afghanistan: learning from the CIA's Village Defense Program in South Vietnam

Some scholars would have us believe that the distinctions between military and policing roles, methods and objectives have become increasingly blurred by the security demands of a post-Cold War and post-11 September global and domestic order. This article explores the current state of the police–military divide through a conceptual and case study analysis. It concludes that, in this case, there is some conflation occurring at a macro-level as international and domestic affairs have become increasingly indistinct, but the article also demonstrates that the actual ethos and practice of these agencies still differs strongly. Most importantly, the article argues that this distinction is in fact a very useful one in planning for future peace support operations

多维TCM的编码符号同步方法

针对多维TCM译码中的编码符号同步问题,提出了两种同步方法:累计度量和同步法、回溯初始状态比较同步法。其中累计度量和同步法适用于非完全透明的编码,而回溯初始状态比较同步法对完全透明的编码和非完全透明的编码都适用。它们都直接利用Viterbi译码器的中间结果,计算量少,简单有效。
