The article deals with the phenomenon of military power as an important dimension of states’ power capabilities. It explores the long-standing influence of anarchy, which forces states to think in terms of power. The article also examines shifts
in military power distribution, after the end of the Cold War, and the general tendency towards the reduction of U.S. unipolarity. - (EN)
A rational sediment transport scaling relation based on dimensionless stream power
depth, characteristic grain size and a parameter describing the effect of bed surface structures on grain entrainment. Therefore they derived an empirical transport function relation relating E to dimensionless stream power using data from a wide range
to the transfer of momentum from the fluid to the bed material (described by dimensionless stream power).
The role of questions about migration in UK censuses : a simple matter of counting, or a means of exerting power ?
Un certain nombre de questions nouvelles sur la migration intérieure ou internationale sont venues enrichir le nouveau recensement britannique de la population en 2011. L'accent est mis sur les changements apportés et sur les raisons qui ont dicté

In this book, which is conceived as an expression of critical geopolitics, reconstruction is identified as a process of conflict and of militarized power, not something that clearly demarcates a post-war period of peace. Challenging the familiar

those related to global warming. It will be argued, using the example of the production of energy and power, that there may well be a built-in contradiction between globalism and the interests of landscape as the diverse place of people, polity
The gender-environment relations have symbolic and material consequences in how nature is understood, in how environmental resources and responsibilities are managed and distributed and in gendered power dynamics that play out in the day-to-day
The political regime in Myanmar used to be a seemingly monopolistic structure where power was exclusively in the Army’s hands. A marginal external influence was exercised by businessmen with close ties to the regime while the country was also
exposed to the influence of powerful regional states. Since the general elections of November 2010, a new Republic of the Union of Burma has been established. The parliamentary democracy is still under the control of the army, but a range of non-state
The AA. compare an empirical stream power-based classification and a physics-based bar pattern predictor. They present a careful selection of data from the literature that contains rivers with discharge and median bed particle size ranging over
several orders of magnitude with various channel patterns and bar types, but no obvious eroding or aggrading tendency. Empirically a continuum is found for increasing specific stream power, here calculated with pattern-independent variables: mean annual
