Everything about North Korea is murky, but certain areas are murkier than others. One especially gloomy corner has been the Korean People’s Army (KPA). Some English-language light was thrown on the KPA on a macro level almost a quarter of a century ago by Joseph Bermudez Jr. with his North Korean Special Forces (1998) and The Armed Forces of North Korea (2001). Since then, we’ve been left in the dark. Tertitskiy addresses that to a degree. Parts two and three of his trilogy bring some new things to the table. In the history section of part one, there is a lot of academic shadow-boxing with unknown rivals, to little avail. Few readers will give a damn whether Kim Il Sung was prescient enough to name his guerrilla band the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army (KPRA) on the 25 April 1932 or whether the KPA waited to be born with its first parade on 8 February 1948. Pyongyang celebrates both with primacy waxing and waning with political fashion.

Evans-Pritchard saw himself as McPherson’s student. As he states in his introduction (written while patrolling the Abyssinian frontier of Sudan in 1940), “What I know about the moulids of Egypt, I have learnt from him”. Evans-Pritchard mirrors McPherson’s key argument that the moulids have a secular side. “The sports, games, theatres, shadowplays, coffee-booths, beer booths, sweet stalls, eating houses, the meeting of friends, the singing, the dancing, and the laughter, are as much part of a moulid as the religious processions, the visits to the tombs of holy men, and the prayers in the mosques. The gay and secular side to religious ceremonies is an essential part of all popular religious festivals.”

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was the first multilateral institution to be initiated by the People's Republic of China and is now the world's largest regional organization. This study investigates how the SCO has enlarged its ‘circle of friends’, which I understand as one of several ways that China attempts to spread its vision of international relations internationally. I focus on two major ways through which the SCO has increased this ‘circle’, namely membership expansion and cooperation with other regional and international organizations. Drawing on official SCO and Chinese government documents as well as first-hand interview data gathered in China in 2018, the study offers insights into the core mechanisms through which the Chinese-led organization has expanded its ‘circle of friends’ and discusses these developments against the backdrop of China’s ambition to influence the international order through the SCO. The analysis will make evident that the SCO has managed to extend far beyond its founding member states and that this supposedly helps China gain support for its normative views and arguments on the international level.

Since her public emergence in 2011, after the death of her father Kim Jong Il, Kim Yo Jong, the younger sister of Kim Jong Un who succeeded Kim Jong Il as leader of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK – North Korea), has proved an endless source of fascination for journalists. This fascination is particularly strong in the Republic of Korea (ROKSouth Korea) but has also grown internationally as she has come more and more onto centre stage. We know that, like her brothers, she was educated in Switzerland but, like them, was largely isolated from Swiss society. She has been a member of the Supreme People’s Assembly, the DPRK parliament, since 2014 and she also holds posts in the ruling Korean Workers’ Party. (KWP) She has been identified as a deputy director and later the director of the powerful KWP Propaganda and Agitation Department. There is also an unverifiable but plausible report that she may have taken over the important role of managing the family finances, a position once held by her father’s sister, Kim Kyong Hui.

When we look at Himalayan history or geopolitics, we tend to overlook such basic matters as housing and the domestic architecture which underpins local people’s lives. This does not refer just to new buildings but also to the continuous process of transformation that traditional houses undergo within their own life times. Mud bricks and wooden beams are infinitely flexible. Houses decay and crumble, are resurrected and extended, sometimes even moved. In climates as severe as Ladakh, building skills are the nuts and bolts of survival. Houses have personalities just as much as their owners do.

If ever there were a book written to elicit excitement at the Royal Society for Asian Affairs, it is Iftikhar H. Malik’s Curating lived Islam in the Muslim world. The book’s subtitle “British scholars, sojourners, and sleuths” describes many of the Society’s founders, and the names of many past members, lecturers, and contributors to Asian Affairs pepper the pages. In the cases of Gertrude Bell (1868–1926) and Freya Stark (1893–1993), they are the focus of entire chapters, and rightly so. The history of the RSAA is intimately entwined with the history of the British Empire, of travel writing, and the study of religion and ethnography. Although Malik does not reference the Society directly, its raison d’etre and influence permeates what is, from every angle, a fascinating read.
