Watch Turkey
IF A COUNTRY could change geographical location, Turkey -
sandwiched unhappily
between west and east - would be first in the queue. Ever since
the 1920s
when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk launched his secular, modernising
revolution
on the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey has aspired to be
European.

A new energy equation
SOME people do all the talking, while others prefer action. The
Europeans
continue to murmur about the risks that a war in Iraq carries:
quite apart
from the military pitfalls, there is the question of the oil
prices, which
can go through the roof, thereby plunging the world into an even
greater
economic recession. The US government is fully aware of these
dangers.
But, instead of moaning, Washington is making sure that at least
some
of the economic risks are diminished. One of the keys in the
strategy
is the oil relationship with Russia, a link that has the potential
of
transforming the global economic equation.

'Kuchmagate' and Iraq
On 20 September, US President George W Bush unveiled the new
US national security strategy. It calls for a first strike against
rogue
states which possess weapons of mass destruction and strive to
"acquire
dangerous technologies". Three days later, Washington accused
Ukraine
of violating UN sanctions against Iraq by selling it four
sophisticated
Kolchuga radar system units.

Crucial stage in India-US ties
The decade-long process of building strategic ties between world's
two
largest democracies, the US and India, has reached a crucial
stage. As
the Bush administration is articulating its new security doctrine,
Delhi's
profile as a prospective close ally is receiving increasingly
attention
among the US policy-makers. This trend is underlined in the
following
developments, as JID's regional analyst reports.

Colombia imposes democratic authority
Colombia's new hardline president Alvaro Uribe is pushing the
country
onto a war footing through the introduction of a series of
unorthodox
measures designed to boost the weak security forces and recapture
Colombia
for the state. Jeremy McDermott reports.

Israel hones intelligence operations to counter intifada
In its conflict with the Palestinians, Israel has engaged in both
defensive
counterterrorist operations to detect and stop attacks on its
population,
and in offensive urban low-intensity conflict operations such as
the incursion
into Jenin. Intelligence gathering has been important for both
kinds of
operation, but the two have some significant differences. David
Eshel
reports.

What did 11 September do to al-Qaeda?
THERE has been much talk about the day that changed America. But
another
question also needs to be asked: what has it done to al-Qaeda?

EUROPE - Security one year on
A YEAR after the Al-Qaeda attacks on the World Trade Center and
Washington,
politicians in Britain are questioning the ability of the
emergency services
in the UK to deal with a similar attack, or reacting to terrorist
aggression
that uses biological weapons.

Policing for those who need it most
I recently attended the second annual conference of the European
Society
for Criminology, hosted by the University of Castilla la Mancha in
Toledo,
Spain. Apart from the setting, what made this conference so
worthwhile
was to be reminded of how much we in Britain share the same
problems as
the rest of Europe.

In the second of a two-part series, Police Review continues its
commemoration

The Police Roll of Honour Trust has 38 women officers on their

Of the 38, there have been 22 deaths in road accidents, three

Eleven
women officers have been unlawfully killed: six RUC officers by

acts, and in mainland Britain two have been killed by vehicles and
one
each by stabbing, shooting and terrorist bomb explosion.
