If you work at a multinational company, at some point you may be asked to travel the world to maintain or install equipment or seek to boost your firms reputation. It happened to Andrew Mackay, and he was unprepared from the moment he stepped on an helicopter to go to a Chevron platform in the North Sea, when everyone was dressed for freezing temperatures except him. Working as what he calls a travelling prostitute, Mackay was surprised to find that almost all of the time, he was on his own. Higher-ups never asked about his well-being, and he had to quickly adapt to indigenous populations, cultures, and traditions. In sharing his experiences while working abroad, he hopes to prepare other employees at multinational companies who may not appreciate what traveling on the job entails. If your organisation has not done its homework in advance, your very life could be at risk. From being kidnapped at an airport, left stranded, forced to spend extra time in strange places, and navigating dangerous situations, youll learn how to survive when working overseas in Trials and Tribulations of a Travelling Prostitute.
This paper represents nearly two years of work and active consideration - both in the academic domain and in the field of conflict - of the problems confronting the British military in contemporary and future conflict.

It takes the deployment of 52 Brigade to Helmand Province, Afghanistan, as its principal case study and examines the thought processes - falling outside more conventional military wisdom and training - that lay behind the Commander's decisio...
It will be people's behavior, and the West's ability to understand, interpret and influence that behavior which will become the defining characteristic of resolving future armed disputes. The authors argue that future conflicts will be best resolved by focusing attention on altering the behaviors of others, either in advance - and therefore deterring conflict - or as a coupled component in the process of combat and post-combat operations. They also argue that Western Armies have learned too many lessons the hard way and been found wanting too easily. Here is the argument for a fundamental rethink of the way that the West's militaries are organized, educated, trained and deployed.
