Dear Writers, Readers, Supporters, and Followers

When we started “Quo Vademus”, it was always about creating a community of like-minded people and the idea that, despite us being perceived as “too young” and “inexperienced” we together can create change.

It was also about transparency, building something together, networking, starting a discussion, and creating a room for conversations. But most importantly it was about the personal connection.

Over the last weeks, many of you were asking about meeting the team and other members of the network and we were looking for the right tool. We think by creating a community-owned Discord server, we will be one step closer to achieving that.

On Discord, we have text-channels as well as voice channels. Public as well as private ones. Rooms where we can meet other people with shared interests and discuss topics, news, ideas, thoughts, as well as “Quo Vademus” itself.

Especially during this Pandemic, some of us are forced to spend more time at home. We therefore want to give you a place for valuable social interactions and a chance to network.

So just drop by on our Discord channel! (https://discord.gg/qrx6nVxtCh)

Stay safe and see you later!

Changing the Playing Field: Non-Traditional Security Threats and the State of International Security

Brief Analysis By Alan Cunningham on April 29, 2022 | Reading time 5 MIN

Whenever national security is brought up in public discourse, it is commonly thought of and discussed in stricter terms. Images of military personnel performing combat operations, government-sponsored hackers performing network intrusions, or hypersonic missile launches are among the first images. However, these are only part of the entire national security threats posing nation-states around the globe. Non-traditional security threats pose a real and serious challenge to the Intelligence Community and the U.S. national security strategy as a whole.

Post-Flag African Nation and State Building and the Question of Gender: Why Independence Does Not Equal Women’s Liberation

Brief Analysis By Francesca Giuliano on January 25, 2021 | Reading time 6 MIN

This analysis draws on the arguments of feminist scholars to explore the complex role of women in African post-flag societies, and in particular the strategic use of hetero-patriarchal narratives by different African governments for the purpose of nation and state-building. The article shows how African ethno-nationalisms and militarised practices of state-building heavily benefit from the oppression of women and the control of women’s bodies.

Turning Point: The Rise of Right-Wing Politics, the Waco Siege, and the Response of American Law Enforcement

Brief Analysis By Alan Cunningham on February 25, 2023 | Reading time 5 MIN

30 years ago, federal agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives serving search and arrest warrants for a fundamentalist Christian cult known as the Branch Davidians became involved in a firefight which developed into a nearly two-month-long siege with the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the helm. The changing of the conservative movement in the U.S. into one largely dominated and controlled by extremist parties who do not have an interest in making medially or statistically informed policy, but rather in appealing to their own base and ideology, remains the legacy of the siege until today.

The value of thinking about ‘just war’ in a world where war is just war

Opinion By Albin Touma on January 18, 2022 | Reading time 3 MIN

Talking about the ethics of war over Ukraine seems abstract and naïve in light of Donbas and its abandoned villages. It seems pointless to think about just war in a world of suffering where war is just war. Yet, it is because the suffering of war is real that we should think and talk about the ethics of war. Only when we talk can we take a stance, constrain violence, and hold military leaders accountable.
