Abstract:
Natural forests have many ecological, economic and other values, and sustaining them is a challenge for policy makers and forest managers. Conventional approaches to forest management such as those based on maximum sustained yield principles disregard fundamental tenets of ecological sustainability and often fail. Here we describe the failure of a highly regulated approach to forest management focused on intensive wood production in the mountain ash forests of Victoria, Australia. Poor past management led to overcutting with timber yields too high to be sustainable and failing to account for uncertainties. Ongoing logging will have negative impacts on biodiversity and water production, alter fire regimes, and generate economic losses. This means there are few options to diversify forest management. The only ecologically and economically viable option is to cease logging mountain ash forests altogether and transition wood production to plantations located elsewhere in the state of Victoria. We outline general lessons for diversifying land management from our case study.

Abstract:
A total of 1487 observations of nine species of arboreal mammal, Acrobates pygmaeus, Phascolarctos cinereus, Petauroides volans, Petaurus australis, P. breviceps, P. norfolcensis, Pseudocheirusperegrinus, Trichosurus caninus and T. vulpecula, were made during surveys of the vertebrate fauna of northeastern Victoria. Habitat use by each species was examined in relation to eight forest types that occur along an environmental gradient ranging from sites at high elevation with a high annual rainfall, to sites on the dry inland and riverine plains. Arboreal mammals were not evenly distributed between forest types. Three species (P. australis, P. volans and T. caninus) were mainly associated with moist tall forests; two species (P. norfolcensis and T. vulpecula) were primarily associated with drier forests and woodlands of the foothills; the remaining three species (A. pygmaeus, P. breviceps and P. peregrinus) occurred widely throughout the forests. The composition of the arboreal mammal assemblage changed along the environmental gradient, but species displayed gradual changes in abundance with forest type rather than marked discontinuities in distributional pattern. The highest overall frequencies of occurrence of arboreal mammals were in forests typically dominated by a mixture of eucalypt species. The position at first sighting of an animal, and the relative height in the forest stratum, were used to describe the micro-habitats utilised. In general, the microhabitats occupied by each species are consistent with the distribution of their known food resources.

Abstract:
Understanding the habitat requirements of a species is critical for effective conservation-based management. In this study, we investigated the influence of forest structure on the distribution of the yellow-footed antechinus (Antechinus flavipes), a small dasyurid marsupial characteristic of dry forests on the inland side of the Great Dividing Range, Australia. Hair-sampling tubes were used to determine the occurrence of A. flavipes at 60 sites stratified across one of the largest remaining tracts of dry box–ironbark forest in south-eastern Australia. We considered the role of six potential explanatory variables: large trees, hollow-bearing trees, coppice hollows, logs, rock cover and litter. Logistic regression models were examined using an information-theoretic approach to determine the variables that best explained the presence or absence of the species. Hierarchical partitioning was employed to further explore relationships between occurrence of A. flavipes and explanatory variables. Forest structure accounted for a substantial proportion of the variation in occurrence of A. flavipes between sites. The strongest influence on the presence of A. flavipes was the cover of litter at survey sites. The density of hollow-bearing trees and rock cover were also positive influences. The conservation of A. flavipes will be enhanced by retention of habitat components that ensure a structurally complex environment in box–ironbark forests. This will also benefit the conservation of several threatened species in this dry forest ecosystem.

Abstract:
DAVID Lindenmayer and Jerry Franklin are the two most influential forest conservation biologists of the past decade and will probably remain so for the coming decade. Each has contributed significantly to forest research, management, biodiversity conservation and policy. Lindenmayer is an Australian based at the Australian National University in Canberra who has worked mainly in the temperate eucalypt forests of Victoria and southeastern New South Wales. Most of his research is wildlife oriented, with an emphasis on arboreal marsupials and the impacts of forest management on forest vertebrates. Franklin is an American at the University of Washington, Seattle in the Pacific Northwest. His research is more botanically oriented, with an emphasis on the impacts of forest management on forest structures (e.g., large trees and logs) and processes. Of the two, Franklin has had the greatest involvement in the political, economic and social processes driving the modern change in forestry practices and attitudes. Together they form a formidable team to present a summary and an analysis of how temperate forests globally can and should be managed. Their goal is not just to enhance biodiversity and other ecological values, but to ensure the long-term sustainability of forest ecosystems. Only when forests are managed sustainably to protect biodiversity can forest managers guarantee the many social and economic benefits derived from the world’s forests, including wood production.

Full text
Abstract:
The diet of the long-nosed potoroo, Potorous tridactylus, in south-western Victoria, was investigated by the microscopical identification of faecal remains. P. tridactylus is omnivorous: the main component of the diet was fungi, and other important items included hard-bodied arthropods, vascular plant tissues, seeds and fleshy fruits. There was a seasonal switch in the relative proportions of the main dietary components between the autumn-winter and spring-summer periods of the year. During autumn and winter, the main components were fungi and seeds. In spring and summer, fewer fungi were eaten and the proportions of arthropods, plant tissues, fleshy fruit and flowers in the diet increased. Identification of fungal spores revealed the presence of at least 50 species in the diet, most of which have a hypogeal fruiting habit. Hypogeal fungi form ectotrophic mycorrhizal associations with forest trees and are important in the health and productivity of forests. They lack active mechanisms for spore dispersal and are dependent upon mycophagous animals. The role of mycophagous small mammals, such as P. tridactylus, in the health of forest ecosystems may be more important than previously recognised.

Abstract:
Evolutionary and genetic knowledge is increasingly being valued in conservation theory, but is rarely considered in conservation planning and policy. Here, we integrate phylogenetic diversity (PD) with spatial reserve prioritization to evaluate how well the existing reserve system in Victoria, Australia captures the evolutionary lineages of eucalypts, which dominate forest canopies across the state. Forty-three per cent of remaining native woody vegetation in Victoria is located in protected areas (mostly national parks) representing 48% of the extant PD found in the state. A modest expansion in protected areas of 5% (less than 1% of the state area) would increase protected PD by 33% over current levels. In a recent policy change, portions of the national parks were opened for development. These tourism development zones hold over half the PD found in national parks with some species and clades falling entirely outside of protected zones within the national parks. This approach of using PD in spatial prioritization could be extended to any clade or area that has spatial and phylogenetic data. Our results demonstrate the relevance of PD to regional conservation policy by highlighting that small but strategically located areas disproportionally impact the preservation of evolutionary lineages.

Abstract:
Zamachy terrorystyczne z 11 września 2001 r., otworzyły szeroko zakrojoną debatę na temat właściwego kursu, jaki powinny obrać Stany Zjednoczone w polityce zagranicznej i obronnej, jak również strategii bezpieczeństwa narodowego. Niektórzy krytycy strategii administracji G. W. Busha oskarżali ją o sięganie po szkodliwy, z punktu widzenia prestiżu USA, unilateralizm. Według nich, administracja Busha odwróciła się z od tradycyjnej, powszechnie akceptowanej, a nawet podziwianej amerykańskiej liberalnej polityki zagranicznej. Fala niekończącej się krytyki wobec tej administracji wynikała z błędnej interpretacji tradycyjnej polityki zagranicznej oraz amerykańskiego multilateralizmu. Główna teza rozprawy zakłada, że wbrew wszechobecnej retoryce wskazującej na radykalną zmianę kultury strategicznej Stanów Zjednoczonych w czasie prezydentury George’a Walkera Busha, USA po zakończeniu zimnej wojny niezmiennie były mocarstwem nastawionym ofensywnie, ich kulturę strategiczną ukształtowaną pod wpływem uwarunkowań zewnętrznych oraz presji międzynarodowej, charakteryzowała stabilność.Autor ma nadzieję, że ta rozprawa pozwoli obalić mit, zgodnie z którym zamachy z 11 września były impulsem do dokonania wolty w strategii bezpieczeństwa USA i odejścia od tradycyjnej amerykańskiej kultury strategicznej. W rzeczywistości polityka zagraniczna prowadzona przez Busha po tych zamachach znajdowała się pod silnym wpływem liberalnego internacjonalizmu. Sytuowała się ona w ramach głównego nurtu tradycji amerykańskiego liberalizmu.Celem pracy doktorskiej jest analiza ewolucji roli siły zbrojnej w kulturze strategicznej Stanów Zjednoczonych po zimnej wojnie. Jednocześnie autor starał się przeanalizować związki pomiędzy wymiarem deklaratywnym a operacyjnym kultury strategicznej USA. Rozprawa została podzielona na cztery rozdziały. Rozdział I jest poświęcony analizie „teorii” kultury strategicznej. Celem tej części jest stworzenie podstawy teoretycznej lub raczej wstępu do dalszej analizy na temat ciągłości i zmiany kultury strategicznej USA po zimnej wojnie. Kolejne rozdziały są poświęcone kulturze strategicznej USA. W rozdziale II autor analizuje uwarunkowania kultury strategicznej USA. Stara się przedstawić wpływ na kształt kultury strategicznej USA, wyjątkowych warunków geostrategicznych, doświadczeń historycznych, koncepcji politycznych oraz amerykańskiego stylu życia. Przedmiotem trzeciego rozdziału są strategiczne i doktrynalne przejawy kultury strategicznego Stanów Zjednoczonych. Celem autora jest identyfikacja i analiza wpływu doświadczeń w ostatnich – prowadzonych po zakończeniu zimnej wojny – konfliktów zbrojnych, zmian w środowisku międzynarodowym i unikalnych czynników, zapisów Strategii Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego USA, doktryn wojskowych oraz refleksji teoretycznej na sposób prowadzenia działań wojennych przez USA. W ostatnim – IV rozdziale podjęto kwestię operacyjnego wymiaru amerykańskiej kultury strategicznej. Autor stara się przeanalizować w nim ewolucję użycia siły po zimnej wojny, zarówno w wymiarze bezpośrednim (konflikty zbrojne) jak i pośrednim (obecność wojskowa, bazy wojskowe na całym świecie i ćwiczenia wojskowe).
Since the terrorist attacks of September (11th) 2001, a wide-ranging debate regarding the appropriate course of American foreign and defence policy as well as national security strategy has opened up. Some critics of the Bush administration’s national strategy accused (the) Republican administration of a disastrous unilateral approach. According to them, the Bush administration has turned back from its long-standing and widely respected or even admirable traditional American liberal internationalism in foreign affairs. The wave of never ending criticism misinterprets foreign policy of the administration as well as American liberal multilateral tradition.The main thesis of the dissertation assumes that in spite of pervasive rhetoric concerns a radical change of American strategic culture during the George Walker Bush presidency tenures, The United States, after the Cold War, was an offensively-oriented superpower with fairly stable strategic culture formed under the influence of international pressure and a number of unique internal determinants.The author hopes that this dissertation will refute the myth according to which 9/11 was the impulse to make a volte in U.S. security strategy and move away from traditional American strategic culture. In practice, Bush’s foreign policy since 9/11 has been heavily influenced by liberal internationalism. The foreign policy of the Republican administration (was) well within mainstream American tradition of liberalism.This aim of the Ph. D. dissertation is to analyse the evolution of the role of military force in American strategic culture after the Cold War. Simultaneously, the author attempted to analyse links between declarative and operational dimensions of U.S. strategic culture.The dissertation is divided into four parts. Chapter I analyses the “theory” of strategic culture. The aim of this part is to provide an essential theoretical framework or rather an introduction to further analysis concerning the continuity and change of U.S. strategic culture after the Cold War. The following chapters strictly adhere to the subject of U.S. strategic culture. In chapter II the author tries to analyse context of U.S. strategic culture. The author attempts to outline the impact on the shape U.S. strategic culture of American, unique geostrategic conditions, historic experience, U.S. political thought and system and (the) American way of life. The subject of the third chapter will be the strategic and doctrinal manifestations of strategic culture of the United States. The aim of the author is to identify and analyse how experience of current Post-Cold War era armed conflicts, changes in the international environment and the unique factors depicted in the previous section shape U.S. National Security Strategy, military doctrines and theoretical reflections on the American way of war. In the last –chapter IV discusses the operational dimension of American strategic culture. The author tries to analyse the evolution of the use of force after the Cold War, both in terms of direct armed conflicts and indirect military presence inter alia military bases located around the world and military exercises.

Full text
Abstract:
Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is a major synthesis of 25 years of intensive research about the montane ash forests of Victoria, which support the world's tallest flowering plants and several of Australia's most high profile threatened and/or endangered species. It draws together major insights based on over 170 published scientific papers and books, offering a previously unrecognised set of perspectives of how forests function. The book combines key strands of research on wildfires, biodiversity conservation, logging, conservation management, climate change and basic forest ecology and management. It is divided into seven sections: introduction and background; forest cover and the composition of the forest; the structure of the forest; animal occurrence; disturbance regimes; forest management; and overview and future directions. Illustrated with more than 200 photographs and line drawings, Forest Pattern and Ecological Process is an essential reference for forest researchers, resource managers, conservation and wildlife biologists, ornithologists and mammalogists, policy makers, as well as general readers with interests in wildlife and forests. 2010 Whitley Certificate of Commendation for Zoological Text.

Abstract:
This chapter examines civilian self-policing in the Victorian city, through a survey of self-defence and apprehension practices. Despite the formation of preventative police forces, victims of crime remained active in defending themselves and in tackling offenders on the streets, in shops, homes, and workplaces. Victims’ participation in this field was underpinned by the limited physical presence of the police, and by forms of legal duty and cultural obligation for civilians to assist the police in making arrests. The chapter demonstrates that the Victorian city crowd continued to play a major role in apprehension, by supporting victims and the police in dealing with criminals. Notwithstanding the diffusion of more restrained notions of masculinity in the nineteenth century, the chapter argues that confronting criminals afforded victims an outlet for more assertive (and violent) forms of manly conduct, which complemented the vigorous public culture of the Victorian street.

The year that saw the survival of the revolution in France saw its extinction in Poland. The same months in which it became clear that structural changes would spread to Belgium and Holland saw the stamping out of “Jacobinism” in Austria and in Hungary. This chapter describes—not the failure of revolution in Eastern Europe, since, except in Poland, no revolution was attempted—but the triumph and strengthening of counter-revolutionary forces in Eastern Europe at this time. These were the forces, agrarian and conservatively aristocratic, which had already largely destroyed the work of Joseph II in the Hapsburg Empire and combined to annihilate the Polish constitution of 1791.

This chapter analyzes how the militarization of East Africa increased dramatically during May and June 1940 as British and Commonwealth forces continued to assemble in anticipation of war breaking out with Italy. The policy of ambiguity and confusion which had existed since before the war had led to British Somaliland effectively being offered up for occupation. The prospect of taking advantage of the dramatically changed strategic position became too great for the Italian General Staff to ignore. They concluded that an attack against this territory and a quick and spectacular success could strengthen the flanks of Italian East Africa and raise the morale of Italian people everywhere. In a territory larger than England and Wales, defended by fewer than 3,000 British and Commonwealth troops, the scene was set for the first major battle of the East Africa campaign.

Abstract:
Conventional wisdom claims that the Trump 2016 campaign was “disorganized,” but this judgment overlooks bargains with leaders of preexisting federated networks connected to millions of voters in pivotal states. Newly found data about the Fraternal Order of Police, the white police union, show that lodge and membership locations help predict Trump margins beyond other pro-GOP variables. Trump deliberately appealed to white police anger at the Black Lives Matter movement and (in a departure from his typical mass rallies) spoke in front of law-enforcement audiences. Similarly, Trump and his top lieutenants courted Christian right pastors and National Rifle Association leaders willing to disseminate campaign messages and mobilize followers in exchange for Trump’s promise to nominate right-wing Supreme Court justices. Many voters outside of big cities were receptive because they are embedded in evangelical and gun-friendly social networks and believe their lifeways are threatened by outside, liberal forces.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the strengths and weaknesses of Zachary Taylor, focusing on six realms: public communication, organizational capacity, political skill, policy vision, cognitive style, and emotional intelligence. Taylor was accomplished career officer who lived up to the nickname “Old Rough and Ready.” By February 1847, he had won a series of battles at Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterrey, and Buena Vista. The last victory, in which Taylor's forces won despite being outnumbered three to one, earned the general instant fame. On December 2, 1847, Taylor returned to the United States and began his transition from soldier to would-be politician. After being elected president, it comes as no surprise that Taylor governed the nation in a manner better suited for the battlefield than the White House.

Abstract:
Plague infected India in 1896 and spread across the empire due to the transportation and communication networks fostered by imperial trade and military aggression. As microbes travelled to new imperial outposts, so did British medical experts like William Simpson, who imported Indian technologies of disease control to South Africa. Inspections conducted at train stations identified disease carriers and detained them in segregation camps. In Bombay and other cities, urban cleansing campaigns by military and police forces systematically rounded up “suspects” and evacuated them to suburban camps. The “war against plague” depended on coercion and an unprecedented set of interventions into the health and welfare of colonial populations. It reflected tangible medical concerns but also operated according to the cultural proclivities of late-Victorian empire: discourses of race and class along with anxieties about security facilitated encampment as much as scientific analysis or the precepts of germ theory.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses how, by late August and into the early fall of 2006, the internal impetus for change was growing stronger across the government. The core premises of the National Strategy for Victory in Iraq (NSVI) were no longer tenable. These officials also worried that Washington had only limited time to make a course correction before the violence in Iraq spiraled out of control. The chapter then details a low-profile but intensive effort by National Security Council (NSC) staff to review US options. Some officials believed it was necessary to increase US forces in Iraq as part of an overall change in strategy. Whether or not any such forces were available was another question entirely, and so the NSC staff undertook a clandestine effort within the US bureaucracy to calculate just how many additional troops might be available. It was a remarkable aspect of the Iraq strategy debate that so little of these policy discussions leaked to the public, or were even known to those involved in parallel strategy reviews.

Abstract:
This chapter describes Germany's successful attempt to stop the USSR from allying with Britain and France in 1939. Adolf Hitler's policy was informed by two beliefs about Soviet strategic weight. The first was that Soviet neutrality was necessary for victory in a war against Poland that included British and French intervention. Soviet neutrality would diminish the effects of the allied strategy of economic blockade and punishment. The second was that the shock of Moscow's neutralization would likely compel Britain and France to abandon their commitments to Poland and thus allow Germany to attack it isolated. As German leaders foresaw, despite the apparent long odds, their policy to accommodate the Soviet Union might work because they could extend strategic benefits to Moscow that the Allies' alliance plans could not. Other conditions, captured in the theory, strongly favored success. First, Germany's policy tried to induce a low degree of alignment change. The Soviet Union was uncommitted; the German goal was to solidify this in a formal arrangement. Second, Germany faced low alliance constraints at the time. Its closest (and only formal) military ally, Italy, was weak relative to Germany and had little direct influence or interests at stake in the elements of the bargain, and it favored compromise with USSR for the same general reasons Germany did.

Abstract:
For the past two decades, following the Rwandan genocide in 1994, the Great Lakes Region of Africa has become a conflict-ridden zone marked by mass violations of human rights and political instabilities. Part of these instabilities and violence is due to the lack of strong and stable political leadership and institutions in many of the countries in the region. In 1996, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was plagued by the uprising of the rebel movement called the Alliance des Forces Démocratiques pour la Libération du Congo-Zaïre. This movement was a coalition of Rwanda, Burundi, and Uganda, along with Congolese people. However, the AFDL victory was short-lived since the coalition parties broke up their alliance in 1998, which led to a new cycle of conflict which continued to destabilize the DRC to date with its Eastern provinces being most affected. In addition to conflict within the DRC, political instability and crisis of legitimacy of political leadership in South Sudan, Burundi, and the Central African Republic have also exacerbated the instability in the region. In this chapter, the author argues that peace and stability in the Great Lakes Region of Africa would depend on how best several facets of policies are integrated into one operational framework for peace and stability.

Abstract:
Despite Australia’s and Victoria’s stated commitment to promoting multiculturalism and equality, and to eradicating racism, our knowledge about the nature, extent and impact of different forms of racism on diverse populations is not as well-developed as it should be. Stakeholders addressing racism increasingly recognise that anti-racism initiatives must rely on robust scholarly evidence and high-quality data. Yet existing data have serious limitations. We report on a stocktake review of racism data collected nationally in Australia and with a specific focus on Victoria. We provide a comprehensive overview, summary and synthesis of quantitative data on racism, identify gaps in racism data collection, analysis and uses, and make recommendations on bridging those data gaps and informing anti-racism action and policy. Overall, the review examines data collected by 42 survey-based, quantitative studies, discussed in over 120 publications and study materials, and 13 ongoing data collection initiatives, platforms and projects. Based on the review, we identified eight gaps to racism data collection and analysis and to collection methodologies. We recommend four interconnected ways to fill racism data gaps for anti-racism researchers, organisations and policymakers: 1) Further analyse existing data to address critical questions about racism; 2) Collect and analyse additional data; 3) Enhance data availability and integration; and 4) Improve policies that relate to the collection, analysis, reporting and overall management of racism data.
