Knowledge Centre articles
The Knowledge Centre at Warwick has been publishing articles written by PAIS staff over the last several months when the KC was in its pilot stages. Now that all of the articles have stable permanent links, we will be posting links to a few articles each week on the PAIS site until the full backlog of PAIS contributions to the KC have been publicised here.
You will notice that some of the articles are timely--or were, when originally published--and that some are more general observations and reports based on current events and current research in PAIS.
During this time, and after the backlog is cleared, we will also post links to all new articles contributed by PAIS staff as they are posted on the KC site.
Meanwhile, you can browse all of the KC articles published to date by visiting the Knowledge Centre website.

Consider the actions of the Bush Administration at Guantanamo Bay, and the global rise of the far right. As we reach the tenth anniversary of the attacks, Professor Stuart Croft reflects on a decade of conflict, and asks if we are finally entering a new era.
