Alex Briscoe's article 'Regime, Ideology and Genocide' considers intentionalism and functionalism in accounting for the permeating nature of ideology in the Third Reich. Briscoe illustrates "Nazism’s role as filling the void in a polycratic regime, necessitating an analysis of both the political structure of the regime and its ideology, rather than focusing solely on one or the other".

Author Alex Briscoe studies History and Politics at University College Dublin.

Are debt securities the ammunition of today? Are secondary markets neocolonial battlefields? S.L. Staley considers these questions in their recent piece 'Are Bonds the New Bullets? Theoretical Musings of Neo-Realism and the Implications of Sovereign Debt'.

"Due to technological advances and societal progression, the expression of power dynamics today looks different than it did in centuries past. Power-grabs have evolved from traditional warfare to more subtle means such as economic influence."

"Understanding that the vulnerabilities experienced by women when forced to flee are due to gender roles and identities is important in order to plan and implement proper and effective humanitarian assistance."

In her recent analysis piece, 'Women and Forced Displacement' Kathryn Wood considers the gendered ways in which women are rendered vulnerable by being forced to flee. She examines women's experiences during flight and whilst living in refugee camps, as well as the asylum-seeking framework’s inherent discrimination favouring cisgender males renders women and LGBTQ individuals disproportionately vulnerable.

Kathryn is an Editor for the London Conflict Review and an MSc Conflict Studies student at The London School of Economics and Political Science - LSE. She completed her undergraduate degree in International Relations at The University of Edinburgh.

Women and Forced Displacement - The London Conflict Review Women, men, girls, and boys all suffer when they are forced to flee. Though sometimes women and girls have similar experiences to men and boys, more often than not they have different experiences due to their gender.
