For readers of Strategy and IR and researchers on the Middle East, the intermittent war between the PKK and Turkey (1984–present) forms the ideal case study as every possible outcome (military victory, peace negotiations and stalemate) and aspect (terrorism, insurgency and civil unrest) of ethnic civil wars have manifested over the years. This monograph offers an up-to-date analysis of an irregular conflict (2004–2017) which spilled over to neighbouring states since 2011 and continues to shape the Middle East through the lens of Strategic Studies. Spyridon Plakoudas is Assistant Professor in Strategy and IR at the American University in the Emirates and Vice President of the think tank KEDISA. .

Moderne Methoden wurden kombiniert, um die topographische Änderungen von gleitenden geschmierten metallischen Oberflächen on-line zu untersuchen. Die Experimente wurden mit einem neuartigen Tribometer durchgeführt, welches in-situ topographische Messungen ermöglicht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, wie lamellare Verschleißpartikel auf gleitende Kupfer Oberflächen entstehen. Weitere Versuche ermöglichten die Entwicklung einer Näherungsmethode zur Trennung von Pflüg- und Scherbeiträge der Reibkraft.

The important geographical position of Cyprus, which constituted a point of transition to the East, the island's presence in various historical developments, and especially its rich mythology, offered ancient Cyprus many opportunities to appear -explicitly or implicitly- in Classical, Postclassical and Modern European literature and art. The studies in this volume move in this direction and attempt to shed light on the presence of Cyprus in the ancient world and on how it was perceived, as well as to consider its contribution to the Roman world and, by extension, to Western European culture.
