Abstract The character of armed conflict will be further granted by the use of conventional military forces, of professionalized but high-tech armies - as it has been enshrined in recent finished confrontations as well as in the ones currently underway- the manifestation area and the intensity of the threats have extremely diversified and expanded in the context of the operational environment. This meant the need for new approaches of the specific operational framework for the conduct of military operations, with consequences for the structure of the operation of groupings of forces and the way of conducting actions.

The Law

The challenge presented by civilians on, near, and affecting the battlefield is an enduring issue in the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC). At its core, the LOAC seeks to protect civilians from the dangers of hostilities. The challenge, then, involves adhering to this general respect and protection standard, while balancing the need to send forces (which may include civilian members) to prosecute armed conflicts (which may involve enemy civilian participants). As advancements in technology and a growing dependence on civilian expertise in armed conflict begin to blur the distinction between civilian activity and direct participation in hostilities, how will military forces ensure civilians are properly protected on the battlefield? At what point does civilian involvement in military operations become direct participation in the conflict?

Resumen: La región del Bajo Atrato, en el departamento del Chocó en Colombia, es una región codiciada por actores económicos políticos y militares. Esto ha conllevado a la articulación de diferentes movilizaciones en torno a la tierra y sus recursos por parte de la población local. La promulgación de la ley 70 de 1993, que otorgó derechos colectivos sobre la propiedad de la tierra a las “comunidades negras”, es un eslabón en el proceso de movilización que se ha llevado a cabo en la región. Este proceso fue interrumpido por la violencia del conflicto armado y el desplazamiento forzoso masivo luego de las operaciones militares de carácter contrasubversivo en 1997. A raíz de esta situación, una parte de los habitantes de las cuencas de los ríos Jiguamiandó y Curvaradó decide organizarse para retornar sobre sus tierras. Las Zonas Humanitarias y de Biodiversidad son el resultado de este proceso. A partir de estos espacios de movilización, los habitantes intentan resistir a los intereses de los diferentes actores sobre sus tierras y proponer una alternativa al modelo que se está desarrollando en la región del Bajo Atrato.Este artículo se propone explorar la manera en que, a través de las reconfiguraciones territoriales en la cuenca del Curvaradó en la región del Bajo Atrato, considerada como una región periférica del país, olvidada por el Estado y sus instituciones, está siendo renegociada una nueva manera de concebir el Estado y la ciudadanía.Palabras clave: Bajo Atrato, Zonas Humanitarias y de Biodiversidad, Estado, Ciudadanía, Reconfiguraciones territoriales. ***Abstract: The Lower Atrato region, located in the department of Chocó in Colombia, is a region coveted by economic political and military actors. This has led to the articulation of different mobilizations over the land and its resources by the local inhabitants. The enactment of Law 70 of 1993, which granted collective rights over the land to the “black communities” is a step further in the process of mobilization that has taken place in the region. This process was interrupted by the violence of the armed conflict and the massive forced displacement that followed the countersubversive military operations in 1997. Following this, a part of the inhabitants of the basins of the rivers Jiguamiandó and Curvaradó get organized and decides to return to their lands. Humanitarian and Biodiversity Zones are the result of this process. Based on these spaces of mobilization, people try to resist the interests of the different actors over their lands and put forward an alternative to the model that is being developed in the Lower Atrato.This article seeks to explore the way in which, trough the territorial reconfigurations in the Curvaradó in the Lower Atrato, considered as a peripheral region of the country, forgotten by the State and its institutions, a new way of conceiving the State and the citizenship is being renegotiated.Key words: Lower Atrato, Humanitarian and Biodiversity Zones, State, Citizenship, Territorial reconfigurations. ***Resumo:Entre 1982 e o ano de 2000 o Estado mexicano estabeleceu um importante dispositivo institucional que incluiu a elaboração de leis e a criação de dependências governamentais com a finalidade de proteger o meio ambiente e fomentar o desenvolvimento  local e regional. O Estado adquiriu assim um papel relevante no estabelecimento de uma nova governança com relação ao uso dos recursos naturais, mas qual tem sido o papel que as populações locais tiveram na  construção da atual  governança ambiental ?  E quais tem sido os mecanismos utilizados para impugnar ou aproveitar a normatividade ambiental estatal?Este artigo busca responder a estas preguntas a partir de três estudos de caso realizados em uma área natural protegida no sul do México, com intenção de revelar como se adotam, reformulam, ou evadem as políticas de conservação na prática.Palavras-chave: recursos naturais, unidades de conservação natural, regulamentos ambientais do estado, respostas locais.

Western writing on China’s 1930 War of the Central Plains emphasizes shifting alliances and bribery, but a close analysis of the war indicates that military operations determined the outcome. Chiang Kai-shek defeated the coalition of regional commanders who rose in revolt against him not through political alliances, but rather because his military forces kept his enemies divided and eventually drove them back on all fronts. It also reveals the significance of Chiang’s victory on the war’s southern front, which prevented Chiang’s opponents in the south from uniting with those in the north and paved the way for final victory.

Abstract Collective defense arrangements promoted by security-related institutions have generally proven that they can produce the deterrent effect of the armed conflict. However, hybrid warfare actions have challenged the capability of countering and threatening hybrid threats. The paper seeks a point of view on developments in the current operational environment, focusing on the review of the military operations typology in identifying potential measures to counteract the actions of the hybrid war and highlighting the need for a new approach to the construction of armed power in terms of new types risks, challenges and threats

New Phase

Examining the activities of the Israel Defense Forces along the Gaza-Israel border, this article identifies a new phase in what the author calls ‘military-police fusion’. The analysis focuses on novel technologies—remote-controlled weapon stations and unmanned ground vehicles—and on the women soldiers who operate these systems. The central claim is that the blurring of boundaries between military and policing missions, combined with high-tech weaponry, has resulted in the development and implementation of new modes of violence that are currently undergoing a process of redefinition and feminization. The article addresses three key dimensions of the processes occurring in the hybrid operational environment along the Gaza-Israel border: the legal dimension, the technological dimension, and the gender dimension.

In this essay I describe my personal journey from reductionist to systems cell biology and describe how this in turn led to a 3-year sea voyage to explore complex ocean communities. In describing this journey, I hope to convey some important principles that I gleaned along the way. I realized that cellular functions emerge from multiple molecular interactions and that new approaches borrowed from statistical physics are required to understand the emergence of such complex systems. Then I wondered how such interaction networks developed during evolution. Because life first evolved in the oceans, it became a natural thing to start looking at the small organisms that compose the plankton in the world's oceans, of which 98% are … individual cells—hence the Tara Oceans voyage, which finished on 31 March 2012 in Lorient, France, after a 60,000-mile around-the-world journey that collected more than 30,000 samples from 153 sampling stations.

The Cultural Revolution

The cultural revolution of 1968 paved the way for many artists to reconsider how and where theatre was made. Community theatre gained currency and one company who became prominent during this cultural shift was Welfare State, later Welfare State International. They were one of the theatre companies who focused not only on a community theatre aesthetic but a grassroot one. I examine the radicality of community theatre and consider the efficacy of the historical approaches to engaging with communities in a (Post-)Covid world. I acknowledge and explore the shifting understanding of communities and assert that a deeper engagement is needed to foster collectivity (Tannahill 2016; Fişek 2019; Weston 2020; Bartley 2021). To reconsider the role that theatre may play in the future, I focus on a grassroot approach to community-led work and posit that location will be a key component to how theatre is made as we emerge from a pandemic.

The article is devoted to the research of the latest approaches to providing of environmental management in Ukraine on the way to European integration. Based on the research, the necessity of introducing new approaches to providing of environmental management in Ukraine as one of the most important directions of European integration processes in Ukraine as a whole has been substantiated. The ways of improvement of separate directions of ecological management are offered, which are considered in the article through the prism of separate functions of ecological management and are considered innovative, in particular, for Ukraine. The European aspirations of Ukraine in the environmental sphere have been argued by the norms of the recently adopted Association Agreement between Ukraine, on the one hand, and the European Union, the European Atomic Energy Community and their member states, on the other. The prospective directions of introduction of the mentioned approaches in the modern practice of public administration of Ukraine, given the high environmental risks and threats faced by the entire world community, are indicated. Keywords: environmental management, public management of the environmental sphere, new approaches to providing of environmental management, eurointegration, European integration processes in the environmental sphere.
