Middle East Policy, 2018
Abdullah Azzam strategized right up until his death. He was always plotting a future for his faith that would be defined by violence – “Palaces of glory are built only by skulls and limbs severed from the body”....“The tree of this religion is watered only with blood”. In the same month that he was killed, a terrorist organisation was formed, and its name hushed in the street corners of Peshawar. It was Bin Laden’s group, later it would be Zawahiri’s; in ideology, it would always belong to Azzam. As if structured directly upon the inner workings of his mind, they went seeking Islamic unity through struggle and terror. Appropriately it was called ‘al-Qaeda’ – ‘the base’. Azzam consciously deconstructed his faith, laboured over its scripture, and tried to re-inspire its history; he built it back up in a way that only led to violence. He was carefully setting bombs that would take time, would lie dormant, yet eventually explode across the Muslim world. Modern terrorism belongs to Abdullah Azzam; and his words echo in the mouths of groups like ISIS: “We shall continue the jihad no matter how long the way, until the last breath and the last beat of the pulse - or until we see the Islamic state established”.

Abstract. We explore the question “Is warfare an art or a science?” Using a framework of five modes of thinking based on Jungian psychology, we answer this question by reviewing the classical writings of Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, and conclude that understanding of people and lateral thinking are the most important modes of thinking associated with C2.
Investing in Cultural Leadership, 2016
There are no shortcuts to meaningful and sustained engagement in the arts. This holds true whether we are talking about connections between artists, or connections between artists and their audiences. Sure, you may believe in love at first sight, but what comes after that is the unavoidable hard work of maintaining the relationship. That is, if you are searching for something more than the fireworks that cap off an awkward night of fumbling in the dark. What do we as artists need to strive for in order to ensure Australia is truly a culturally ambitious nation? Money on its own can not and will not generate positive change. Change requires time, and hard work, and groups of people willing to share a lifetime full of experiences. Naive and fanciful as it may seem spoken aloud or written down, but I truly believe that what we need is a renewed focus on personal connections and human relationships.
In this case, silence, although it explains a lot with the emphasis on not explaining, might not be what is needed. I think that some words are necessary so that you understand what my silence is intended to say. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Or make me a mask Dylan Thomas I When reading Junot Díaz, surprise leads us to discover that bodies, with their timeless acts and experiences of the mind, become visible -simultaneously-in different countries and times. Díaz's writing is a combination of history, street, and pop culture that resists any type of denomination or classification. Behind the frame, bodies in his stories are always fused into and confused with our present and our language. His writing is confrontational and delves into social, historical, and political issues in the Caribbean. These issues have little to do with the All Inclusive Resort rhetoric promoted by the Dominican cultural elite. I address these issues as a writer who knows and has experienced the Dominican Republic literary world first hand. Junot Díaz is a Dominican writer educated by global readings. He went to school in the United States and writes in English. His body of work includes the books Drown, The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, awarded the prestigious Pulitzer Prize, and This is How You Lose Her. I will refer to these books as the "Trilogy." The latest project of Díaz, a Distinguished Professor and a McArthur Genius Grant recipient, comes in the form of a children's book called
