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!

Environmental Terrorism, Eco-Terrorism, and Water Management: The Case of Nagorno-Karabakh

The world is experiencing an increase in terrorist attacks, including environmental terrorism. The presence of natural resources and infrastructures, especially water-related ones, in contested areas subjected to traditional forms of terrorism, requires further attention within terrorism-related research. The case of the Nagorno-Karabakh war is an interesting case with regard to the concept of environmental and eco-terrorism. In this respect, the implications of water issues after the 2020 war and the dangers involved for the future of the region are of particular interest.

The Ambiguity in China-West Relations

When an autocratic state calls for democracy, rule of law, and sovereignty, something just does not add up to Westerners. For the West to better understand contemporary China and its government's underlying values, understanding China's interpretation of those three elements should be a priority.

The Decision to Use Atomic Bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

While it took less than a second for the atomic bombs on the 6th and 9th of August 1945 to detonate and usher in an age of nuclear fear and paranoia, the decision to drop the bombs took much longer. The ability to destroy an entire city within seconds, wiping out millions of people with the single press of a button, immediately became realized and decades of weapons stockpiling and threats would follow, multiple times stopping just short of bringing the world to destruction. Simply stated, a more diplomatic approach should have been performed to secure America’s moral and ethical standing in the aftermath of the Second World War and in contemporary times.

Women in Power: Peggy Carter, the World of Intelligence, and a Powerful Role Model for Women

Representation in media (comics, films, television series, and video games) has become a hot button issue over the past decade. In March of 2022, the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film of San Diego State University found “that men outnumbered women onscreen by a factor of 2 to 1 in 2021”. The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is no exception and has had its share of sexist, derogatory, and stereotypical depictions of women. However, in at least one, rather niche area, the MCU does excel in their representation of women: particularly in their representation of women within Intelligence Communities (IC) around the globe via the character of Peggy Carter.
