Bowker to O’Brien, “I can’t ever find any words, if you know what I mean, and I can’t figure out what exactly to say. Something about the field that night.” Norman Bowker hanged himself. Tim O’Brien’s transition to a civilian was smooth, no bumps in the road, no memories dancing back in forth in his mind, his writing made it possible, his war stories are anti-war stories, for none of it is true, it’s all a mix of data, memories, from here and there, from there and here, it is a collection of thoughts, of how it felt, how it made O’Brien shake at night during the war, the regret, the turmoil of the war, the guilt of being present, he was a soldier after all, he was there, he walked the fields, he saw the villages. “I walked through Quang Ngai Province as a foot soldier”, testimony that O’Brien has moved on in his life, because he is admitting the fact that he was a foot soldier, he has laid that memory to rest in his mind, he could have simple said ‘when I was a soldier’, however he doesn’t because he has never stopped being a soldier, he is a soldier without an army or a war to be part of, he has always been a soldier, he has just lived through it all, and will remain to live through it all. The life of a soldier has no comparable instance in the average life of man, be it in youth, in the coming of age, all of it is so relative, so exact, so diverse, so a part from reality, the stories of a veteran are subject to fiction, subject to omissions, subject to decay. Things are…

representatives, relating to the emergence of party politics (Henderson and Ailsa 2004). Canada failing to establish a stable two party system shows how divided Canadian opinions are (Blake 1972). The complexity of regionalism makes it difficult to postulate about regional variation in voting behavior (Blake 1972).

The author of The Rugmaker of Mazar-e-Sharif, Narja Mazari escaped from the Taliban to Australia to only be treated like a prisoner in a detention centre in Woomera.

sun shines hot through a clear blue sky. He feels warm all over. Did he squeeze off the round? Is this what it feels like being dead? “Two Six Romeo, this is Foxtrot Actual, over,” a voice crackles through the static. Startled, he looks for the source of the signal. Slowly but surely his reality begins merging into another kind of space. He was sitting in his wheelchair, but the world around him is changing, shifting and becoming something else. “Two Six Romeo, this is Foxtrot Actual. Do you…

Part Two – The “Dual” Approach In the face of these flaws, this essay proposes a “dual” approach would be more effective in enhancing both human and state security. This “dual” approach recognizes the synchronicity of Human Security and State security, meaning that the relationship between the two concepts is less of a “cause and effect” relationship, but rather that the advancement of one is likely to relate to the advancement of the other, and the degradation of one will likely result in the…
