“…The Habsburg general and influential military theorist Raimondo Montecuccoli (1609-80) famously quoted an earlier statement by Gian-Jacopo Trivulzio (1440-1518) to Louis XII of France: 'For war you need three things: money, money, money!' 53 Taxation has probably been the most contentious aspect of state-building and fleet-building. In England, for example, Charles I introduced 'ship money' for coastal counties in 1634.…”

The rise of state navies in the early seventeenth century: a historiographical study

This article addresses a relative vacuum of the historiography of early-seventeenth-century navies. The central question is how European states established and sustained their navies. The article presents the main historiographical issues, especially the concepts of the 'military revolution afloat' and the 'fiscal-naval state', and demonstrates the technological, administrative and social concerns of early modern navies. It also exposes the main contemporaneous threats and alternatives to early modern state navies. It presents the changes that states made to navies and vice versa just before the so-called military revolution afloat in the mid-seventeenth century. This contested concept is put into context and exposed as a historical construct. The author, along with some other scholars, argues that it was far from a revolution, but more of a gradual evolution. The process of state-building in relation to state navies therefore needs to be reassessed: the navy was one of the tools of state-building, not just a tool of the already built and consolidated state.

“…En ce sens large, la pensée et l'action stratégique sont assurément rationalistes. Dans la conjoncture décisive de la première moitié du 17 e siècle, la montée en puissance du programme rationaliste en Europe, dont les idées du philosophe français René Descartes sont un des exemples paradigmatiques, a été inextricablement liée à la guerre de Trente Ans et aux transformations de la pensée et de l'action stratégique dans le cadre de la révolution militaire (Toulmin 1990 : 45-88 ;Toulmin 2001 : 29-46 ;Rothenberg 1986 ;Parker 1988 : 6-44). Toutefois, l'argument des tenants de la sécurité élargie n'est pas simplement que la raison joue un rôle dans l'étude et dans l'action stratégique.…”

Les études stratégiques sont-elles rationalistes et matérialistes ? « Nouvelles études de sécurité » et pensée stratégique

Résumé de l'article Les tenants des « nouvelles études de sécurité » ont au cours des deux dernières décennies avancé une critique de grande ampleur de la contribution de la stratégie à l'étude de la sécurité internationale et, plus généralement, des relations internationales dans leur ensemble. Ils estiment que le soubassement épistémologique des études stratégiques, spécifiquement leurs postulats rationaliste et matérialiste, constitue un grave handicap. Toutefois, ce défi vigoureux et influent n'a, jusqu'à présent, pas été relevé. On montrera ici que les études stratégiques échappent très largement aux accusations des tenants de la sécurité élargie et on répondra aux objections épistémologiques qu'ils ont avancées.

“…Surrender of a garrison could occur under a flag of truce with limited loss of life, with an adversary free to leave, sometimes with weapons in hand. 5 Not until Napoleon used nationalism to mobilize the masses did the modern era of wars of annihilation begin. Napoleon mobilized the common citizenry, the "peasants" of the day, to a cause and loyalty larger than themselves, a patriotic bond to the nationstate.…”

In this project, we intend to develop CDK5 as a novel therapeutic target. Therefore, we proposed to characterize a series of small molecule CDK5 inhibitors for specificity in cell culture, and for their effect on xenograft models of prostate cancer. We also proposed to examine the role of CDK5 activity in growth of prostate cancer metastatic to bone, using PC3 based bioluminescent cell clones, and to explore the potential for CDK5 inhibition to sensitize prostate cancer cells to chemotherapy. In the current reporting period, we have found that a small molecule derivative of hymenialdisine is a selective inhibitor CDK5, blocking cell motility without an effect on cell growth. This compound may be useful in limiting metastases in prostate cancer. We have also developed the bioluminescent clones of PC3 cells necessary for our proposed examination of the effect of CDK5 inhibition on prostate cancer cell growth in the bone microenvironment.
