Taking a broad perspective on security, the volume offers both analysis grounded in the 'hard' military and state security discourse but also delve into the 'soft' aspects of security employing a human security perspective. As such the volume addresses imminent challenges to security, such as the ones relating directly to the war in Syria, but also the long-term challenges. The traditional security problems, which are deep-seated, are at the risk of being exacerbated also by a lack of focus on emerging vulnerabilities in the region. While taking as a point of departure the prevalent security discourse the volume also goes beyond the traditional focus on military or state security and consider non-traditional security challenges. This book provides a state-of-the-art review of research on the key challenges for security in the Middle East, it will be a key resource for students and scholars interested in Security Studies, International Relations, Political Science and Middle Eastern studies.National securityMiddle EastMiddle EastPolitics and government21st centuryMiddle EastForeign relations21st centuryNational security355.033056Jägerskog AndersSchulz Michael1960-Swain AshokOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910793203203321Routledge handbook on Middle East security3691265UNINA04322oam 2200517 450 991082586680332120190911112724.01-908977-10-8(OCoLC)844311083(MiFhGG)GVRL8RCY(EXLCZ)99267000000036000120130827h20132013 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrLocal activity principle /Klaus Mainzer, Technische Universitat Munchen, Germany, Leon Chua, University of California, Berkeley, USALondon Imperial College Pressc2013London :Imperial College Press,[2013]�20131 online resource (xii, 443 pages) illustrations (chiefly color)Gale eBooksDescription based upon print version of record.1-908977-09-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.Contents; Preface; 1.

At first defined in the theory of nonlinear electronic circuits in a mathematically rigorous way, it can be generalized and proven at least for the class of nonlinear reaction-diffusion systems in physics, chemistry, biology, and brain research. Recently, it was realized by memristors for nanoelectronic device applications. In general, the emergence of complex patterns and structures is explained by symmetry breaking in homogeneous media, which is caused by local activity.
