Just something for those who are still interested in arms control. I feel that arms control is a dying subject, giving-way to the study of irregular warfare and insurgency. Either way, it is still something which needs a significant amount of attention from our policy makers.

New Beginnings

I fly back to London tomorrow morning. Right now I am trying to stay up in order to be able to sleep a bit on this flight.

I'm looking to restart this blog after my dissertation is due; so I will post a few times on this in order to gain some interest, to begin gathering hits again. I may also be bringing on another blogger who posts mainly on Hubpages; he writes primarily on local level, and domestic politics issues. Dissertation is due Sept. 6, looking forward to writing for recreation again.

I may give an executive summary of my dissertation closer to its due date. Due to the possibility the faculty grading it may search passages of my dissertation on the internet, I will not be posting it here. The process of proving this is my blog would be horrifying, I imagine. What I will say it involves a case study of Kazakhstan and makes conclusions about the nature of the state centric system and discourse of the state.

PS: If anyone does read this ever, I'd be interested in hearing ideas for other places to host this blog. I'm thinking this layout looks a bit....bland.
