This journal explores contemporary security challenges, including the implications of a multi-order world on global health security, the role of maritime power in identity formation within the Arabian/Persian Gulf, and the emergence of China-led orders. It also examines the concept of the 'imaginary' in technology and war, and public attitudes towards nuclear weapon use in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war.
