Located in the heart of the Baltic, the Åland archipelago is a land of contrasts. It is at once an idyllic rural community in which nature still dictates the rhythm of life and a vibrant centre of shipping and international commerce. Historically a Swedish possession, the islands were caught up in the wars and revolutions of the 18th and early 19th Centuries, passing into Russian hands and eventually becoming an autonomous region of Finland. Still largely Swedish speaking, Åland’s strong local culture mirrors its political identity: The islands are governed by the Lagting (parliament) and are a demilitarised zone holding…

6-9 July 2012, Liverpool, United Kingdom As an expression of culture, a form of intangible heritage, a signifier of place, and a marker of moments, music provides an important and emotive narrative for tourists. Indeed, it is increasingly difficult to imagine tourism ‘in silence’, outside of the scores and songs which accompany and punctuate journeys. From touristic performances of traditional dance, pilgrimages to the homes and graves of composers and singers, impromptu street entertainments, tours to concerts, attending festivals, to the sounds of the car radio, the travelling with ipods and the ‘muzak’ of hotel lifts, music can both activate…

Scholars from various academic disciplines converge at the premises of the Knights of Malta in Prague for a four-day conference celebrating multidisciplinary research and international education.

ISR is the lynchpin of modern warfare, and the methodology by which it is collected, analysed and disseminated continues to develop as forces encounter new and familiar challenges across air, land and sea in the 21st century. Both the cyber and space domains have seen and continue to see an incremental increase in offensive and defensive activity over recent years and, in these two domains, ISR finds itself yet more relevant. Against this backdrop, SMi are proud to announce the launch of its inaugural ISR 2012 conference taking place on the 18th and 19th April 2012 in London. Delegates will…
