This article explores the political and security implications for relations between Beijing and Taipei in light of the recent election of a new Taiwanese president. Due to be inaugurated in May 2016, Tsai Ing-wen hails from a different point on the political spectrum to that of the outgoing leadership, introducing uncertainties in the political relationship with the mainland and casting light on the continuing importance of the United States as a security actor in the region. Concurrent with outlining the nature of this political change and the uncertainties this introduces, Paul Irwin Crookes evaluates evidence of a shift in the balance of military power across the Taiwan Strait, potentially changing the dynamics of decision-making for all sides in the event of future conflict.

E. De Angelis
Trevor Paglen, whose work The Octopus was recently shortlisted for the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2016, is a multidisciplinary artist who focuses on surveillance and intelligence activities – what he terms the ‘invisible war’. As well as his solo work, he collaborated with Laura Poitras in the making of Citizenfour, the award-winning 2014 documentary film about Edward Snowden. Other recent projects include Code Names of the Surveillance State, a video installation in which National Security Agency and GCHQ surveillance-programme code names were projected onto public buildings, and Trinity Cube in the Fukushima Exclusion Zone. In this interview, he reflects on some of the questions with which he grapples in his work, from the nature of contemporary warfare to the tension between privacy and surveillance, and the role of the artist in understanding war in contemporary society.
特雷弗·帕格伦的作品《章鱼》最近入围了2016年德意志Börse摄影基金会奖。他是一位多学科艺术家，专注于监视和情报活动——他称之为“看不见的战争”。除了个人作品，他还与劳拉·波伊特拉斯(Laura Poitras)合作拍摄了2014年获奖的关于爱德华·斯诺登(Edward Snowden)的纪录片《第四公民》(Citizenfour)。最近的其他项目还包括“监控国家代号”(Code Names of the Surveillance State)，这是一种将国家安全局(National Security Agency)和政府通信总部(GCHQ)监控项目的代号投射到公共建筑上的视频装置，以及福岛禁区的“三一立方”(Trinity Cube)。在这次采访中，他反思了他在作品中努力解决的一些问题，从当代战争的本质到隐私与监视之间的紧张关系，以及艺术家在理解当代社会战争中的角色。

Analysing paintings presented by Tate Britain's exhibition Fighting History, Emma De Angelis considers whether history painting can further our understanding of war, especially in today's world. Devices such as the visual fusion of time and space in history painting can facilitate new perspectives and reflections on conflict, and provoke an affective reaction that differs greatly from any scholarly analysis of war past and present.

Beatrice Heuser
The Battle of Waterloo marked the end of a protracted European conflict that had lasted for twenty-three years. This period witnessed the seemingly inexorable rise of Napoleon, first to the position of general, then consul and finally emperor. It saw him face several kaleidoscopic coalitions of European powers, experience victory and defeat in battle, suffer exile, and return to rally France once again during the famous Hundred Days that ended at Waterloo. The question as to why this most famous of military strategists was defeated in June 1815 has long been a source of debate. Here, Beatrice Heuser explores the reasons why he lost the battle and – ultimately – the war, concluding that this was due to a broader failure of strategic vision on Napoleon's part.

Much of contemporary society's memory of war is built on artistic interpretations of the historical experience of conflict and trauma, rather than the official commemorations that often take centre stage.

J.A. de Waal
As the UK's next general election looms closer, so too does the next Strategic Defence and Security Review. The last such review exercise in 2010 provoked extensive and widespread criticism – related to both its process and its outcomes. However, what was not called into question was the fundamental assumption on which the whole exercise rested: that the UK should maintain its full-spectrum expeditionary posture. James de Waal argues that, while the nuts and bolts of defence policy continue to be important, there is a much more significant, substantive debate to be had about the type of defence policy the UK should pursue.

Laurent de Castelli
Al-Qa'ida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) was set up in northern Mali years before the Tuareg rebellion of 2012. A safe haven for its members, this sanctuary allowed the group to raise funds through drug-trafficking and the ransom business. In 2012, AQIM and its local allies took control of northern Mali and attempted to create an Islamic state – an effort which was cut short by the French military intervention in January 2013. Laurent de Castelli dissects the motives which led AQIM to create its sanctuary in northern Mali before 2012, its drive to establish an Islamic state with the support of its allies, and the reasons behind this evolution.
