The latest US theory outlined in Army Field Manual 3-24, Counterinsurgency, for instance, places significant emphasis on the value of capable institutions, but such concepts have little relevance for many governments. Since the manual is written for use by forces of a host government, the authors assume that resources necessary to develop a capable institution will be available, even if the embattled government is unable or unwilling to provide them.3 In reality, many medium-powered nations simply do not have the institutions (or money and personnel) essential to execute a contemporary counterinsurgency strategy.

This article focuses on the issue of narcotics and Turkey over a 30-year period. Its point of departure is the 1970s, when the opium production crisis in Turkey, and its associated corrosion of relations with the US, had been brought to an end. The article concentrates on the period in the late 1980s/early to mid-1990s, when the hard drugs issue became fused with other security threats like terrorism and state corruption. During this dark period, Turkey's criminal organizations that were trafficking narcotics made significant inroads in alliance-building with parts of the security state. The article ends with the experiences of the late 1990s and early 2000s, when the Turkish state succeeded in containing the impact of illicit drugs. The article argues that both external but in particul...

The seventh annual A. A. Sommer, Jr. lecture on corporate, securities and financial law is presented. In her lecture titled "The UK FSA: Nobody Does It Better?," UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) Director of Enforcement Margaret Cole said it is important to emphasize that the FSA does not, and is not seeking to, authorize and regulate the funds themselves, which are outside their jurisdiction. Rather, they continue to believe that they can mitigate the risks through their existing authority over hedge fund managers and broker-dealers who provide prime brokerage services to the funds. The FSA's initiative aimed at treating customers fairly is a prime example of the FSA's strategic shift to more principles-based regulation. To conclude, Cole proposes, that nobody does it better than t...

While the news that Malaysia has climbed five steps in this year's Global Competitiveness Report compiled by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum augurs well for the country, more needs to be done to counter bureaucratic ineptitude, abuse of power and corruption to further boost our image. THE news that Malaysia has climbed five steps in this year's Global Competitiveness Report (GCR) compiled by the Geneva-based World Economic Forum (WEF) could not have come at a more trying time.
