American political parties have never been weaker or more vulnerable to ideological insurgencies, and the conservative movement, even when the establishment machines were stronger, was eventually rewarded for its discipline in seeking a takeover of the GOP rather than investing seriously in an effort to break from the major party system.

But now that the balance of power has shifted in Syria, with interventions from Russia and Iran helping Mr. Assad defeat the network of insurgencies against him, there is a renewed possibility that the government will not look kindly on an armed and autonomous Kurdish region within its national borders.

The wars and insurgencies that battered the Middle East over the last decade delivered not only a horrible toll of death and displacement, but also a wasteland of cultural destruction, reducing to rubble the Assyrian gates of Nineveh, the Great Mosque of Aleppo and countless other treasures, ancient and modern.

As well as being an early test for Macron, the departure of France's most senior soldier highlights the stresses of a major military power as it battles Islamist insurgencies in Africa, partners allies in Middle East conflicts, and patrols its own streets after a series of home-grown jihadist attacks.

There are two new studies that provide insight into the potential of current populist insurgencies to reshape politics here and abroad: "The Populist Explosion," by John Judis of Talking Points Memo, and "Trump, Brexit, and the Rise of Populism" by Ronald F.

Mr Cotton supports Mr Trump and is sure that a key to navigating an era of "populist insurgencies", from Britain to continental Europe and America, lies in acknowledging the "reasonable, legitimate concerns" of working families about low-skilled migration and its effects on society and on wages—even if a "transnational cosmopolitan elite" is left unscathed by them.

Since the US role in the hunt for Kony began, Africa has seen the rise of insurgencies with links to global terror groups seen as plotting to directly attack the US and its allies, including Boko Haram in Nigeria, ISIS in Libya, and al Qaeda in the Maghreb in northwest Africa and Al-Shabaab in Somalia.

No, but Americans have only acquiesced to dramatic increases in the scope and power of government in extreme situations—in economic crises like that in the 1930s, which affected the middle as well as the bottom of society; in the face of militant insurgencies that threatened social disruption (as occurred in the 1960s); or in time of war.

Baluchistan has also been the center of two resilient insurgencies, making it one of the most sensitive areas for Pakistan's powerful military establishment: Ethnic Baluch separatists there have been pursued by a stifling Pakistani security presence, and part of the leadership of the Afghan Taliban also continues to take shelter there, in the city of Quetta.

Though the region is undergoing historic and violent change, with multiple insurgencies, failed states, various proxy wars that have sucked in world powers and the possible breakdown of the entire post-World War I regional order, the United States has focused on only one small part of that: defeating the militants of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

Both of these centers of free markets, free people and free ideas are being shaken today by rural and beyond-the-suburbs insurgencies of largely white working-poor and anxious middle classes, which have not generally benefited from the surges in globalization, immigration and technology that have lifted superstar cities like London, Paris and San Francisco and their multicultural populations.

It took a gamble and put its money on the wave of rising grassroots insurgencies against autocracies in the Middle East, whether by sending its tiny air fleet to join NATO operations backing rebels against Libyan dictator Muammar Qaddafi or by actively supporting the Muslim Brotherhood's political aspirations in Egypt after the fall of Egyptian strongman Hosni Mubarak in 2011.

"Now that Modi is beginning to campaign for another five-year term as prime minister — and hoping to advance his party's particular interpretation of a more coherent and unified polity — part of his campaign strategy is to embrace a tough approach to the insurgencies within India and burnish his credentials as a candidate firm on security," analysts at political consultancy Stratfor said in a note last week.

The United States has many interests in Africa: battling Islamist insurgencies like Boko Haram in West Africa and the Shabab in the Horn of Africa; reducing political instability and improving governance, particularly in conflict-torn nations like South Sudan and Somalia; and taking advantage of the dynamism of a rapidly urbanizing continent that is rich in natural resources and has a young and growing population.

Before he retired, Petraeus was "broadly considered one of the world's top experts on asymmetric warfare and counter-insurgencies," Candice Malcolm of the Toronto Sun wrote last summer: So it came as a surprise that after his retirement, rather than writing about Iraq, the rise of the Islamic State and broader security concerns in the Middle East, Petraeus's top concern is Canada and its relationship with Mexico and the United States.

"Terrorists inspired by ISIS remain an enduring threat throughout the region; the Syrian Civil War continues to rage just beyond the areas retaken by the coalition; Bashar al-Assad remains in power with the backing of Iran and Russia in an alliance that is hostile to peace, stability, and American interests; and the humanitarian devastation and lack of political progress wrought by six years of war leaves fertile ground for future insurgencies," McCain said in a statement.

In Egypt, too, the real story of unrest lay not in Hosni Mubarak's presidential palace but in the mundane spaces where norms were shifting: in the tuk-tuks, previously confined to the informal settlements on the margins of the capital, which now honked their way defiantly into the city center; in the schoolchildren re-enacting battles against the security forces on their playground; in the low-level insurgencies waged in family dining rooms, college lecture halls and factory floors across the country.

" Also in my study are books I have to judge for a contest: Calvin Schermerhorn's "The Business of Slavery and the Rise of American Capitalism, 21982-22009"; Patrick Rael's "Eighty-Eight Years: The Long Death of Slavery in the United States, 220-21982"; Aisha K.
