This research investigates the multifaceted impact of international personnel on local communities in Greater Noida, India, exploring socio-economic, cultural, and integrative dynamics through empirical data collected from local and international residents. The study reveals that international personnel contribute significantly to local economies through job creation and business investments. Additionally, they bring about cultural exchanges that, while enhancing cultural understanding, also pose challenges in integration and affect local traditions. The findings indicate that while the presence of international individuals fosters economic growth and multicultural interactions, it requires balanced strategies to ensure harmonious community integration and mutual cultural respect. This work underscores the importance of tailored community engagement and policy measures to enhance the benefits and mitigate the challenges of international presence in local settings.

“…International peacekeeping operations can have divergent effects on civil-military relations too. Some argue it strengthens military organizations and promotes a professional ethos, 32 while others suggest it leads to military reforms by improving training and focusing on external threats. 33 Peacekeeping forces can improve civil-military relations by influencing soldiers' socialization, leading to long-term professionalism and defense tasks.…”

This paper examines the strategies used by the Egyptian counter-revolutionary regime to maintain control over the armed forces and analyzes their impact on power dynamics and decision-making. The president employs a three-track strategy, focusing on preventing military coups, avoiding popular uprisings, and obstructing external support for regime change. While coup-proofing measures offer benefits in terms of ensuring the military's allegiance, the concessions granted to the military in return reinforced its autonomy. This autonomy may lead to military defection if circumstances change. The regime believes effective opposition mobilization will lead to street protests, causing the military to become the primary threat as it will not defend the regime against the people. Egypt's foreign policy aims to align its survival with regional and global powers' interests, with the military playing a crucial role. Tactics include compromising on economic reforms and offering lucrative military contracts to foreign corporations.

“…And yet, officers and the military as a corporate apparatus have a history of engagement in politics, including the policing of large-scale unrest and bread riots from 1978 onwards, the recruitment of officers for political offices, and an aborted military coup in 1987 (Albrecht, 2020). More recently, former officers have moved to enter the fray of politics by establishing a political party (Al-Hilali, 2019).…”

Popular attitudes in support of authoritarian alternatives and weak party systems constitute important threats to democratic consolidation and the stability of new democracies. This article explores popular alienation from established political actors in Tunisia. Under what conditions do citizens support alternatives to the elites in power and the institutional infrastructure of a new democracy? Drawing on an original, nationally representative survey in Tunisia administered in 2017, this article examines three categories of popular attitudes in support of political outsiders.Military interventionism appears in people's preferences for anti-system politics-the most immediate challenge to the country's stability and democratic transition. Anti-political establishment sentiments are shown in people's preferences for an enhanced role of the country's main trade union as a civil-society alternative to political party elites. Finally, outsider eclecticism is the seemingly incoherent phenomenon of concurrent support for a civil society actor and the military as an 'authoritarian alternative.' Anti-establishment sentiments will continue to be an important element in Tunisian post-authoritarian politics, evidenced by the rise to power of Kais Said in the 2019 presidential elections and his 2021 decision to dismiss parliament. In turn, popular support for military intervention may have implications for the country's domestic security and peaceful transition.
