Syria's militarist state has been shaped by its experience of colonization, and its militarism is directly connected to the country's anticolonialism

The ideal masculine identity was tied to militarism

Racial militarism played a significant role in shaping insider-outsider boundaries of national identity, with militarism performing an exclusionary function within the nation-state.

The construction of the "Other" was also racialized

"militarization" is limited in its ability to fully capture the violence of liberal order, as it fails to acknowledge that there is no "good" liberal civilian past to which we can retreat.

"militarization" framework elides: the historical context out of which the use of military equipment and tactics against Black activism develops.

militarization is a new process by which the exception (war) encroaches on the norm (peace).

The concept of militarization assumes a peaceful liberal order that is encroached on by military values or institutions, but this assumption is false.

the dynamics of cognitive, conative and affective constructs and meta-level self-regulating abilities are crucial in achieving entrepreneurial behavior and an entrepreneurial mindset.

This resonates well with the aforementioned ontological ramifications of spirituality in Western Zen Buddhism, where the self is decidedly empty, i.e. not fixed in its delusions of stable identity.

Entrepreneurial mindfulness discourses entail meticulous descriptions on how to calm the mind by focusing on the present moment.

There is a large amount of self-help literature, websites, courses and self-evaluation measurement tools in which entrepreneurs and those who strive for an entrepreneurial mindset in their everyday lives are encouraged to develop themselves as persons, to seize the day, to learn to rule their thoughts and to cope with increasing uncertainty.

There is empirical support for the relationship between mindfulness and compassion

metacognition as a mediating variable between mindfulness and opportunity recognition and evaluation. Also emotional self-regulation, which is closely associated with mindfulness, may have a further positive impact on the opportunity recognition and evaluation process.

With greater mindfulness, individuals can become aware of choices that they were not aware of previously. Mindfulness can create an increased awareness of multiple perspectives by allowing the entrepreneur to look at things from others’ points of view, which creates more empathy, and in turn can lead to more compassionate and ethical decisions.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

Mindfulness has been linked to increased self-compassion and compassion for others

present research integrates multiple research streams: the mindfulness research on the benefits of mindfulness practice for psychological health and resilience, the entrepreneurial cognition literature on the process of opportunity recognition and evaluation, and the work on compassion and entrepreneurs. Integrating these three streams of research have brought new insights into some of the intervening variables between mindfulness and opportunity recognition and evaluation. T

greater mindfulness would result in more creative and productive entrepreneurs who integrate ethics and sustainability into their worldview and choices

Emotional self-regulation is the ability to respond to the ongoing challenges of life and regulate one’s range of emotions in a way that one’s behavior is acceptable within society’s norms but also spontaneous

metacognition as a key mechanism of mindfulness also known as re-perceiving, which is described as a “significant shift in perspective” (Shapiro et al., 2006, p. 377). Perspective-taking enables us to dis-identify from thoughts and feelings in order to engage in the present moment with increased objectivity.

a mindful approach means entrepreneurs can regulate their emotions and thereby succeed in looking at the evidence, including failure, in a curious and nonjudgmental way

These feelings can help significantly in the opportunity recognition and evaluation stages. However, they need to be modulated through a process of emotional control

Greater metacognition will increase the entrepreneur’s ability to become aware of an opportunity and then to evaluate that opportunity in a way that corrects for their biases and emotional reactions.

mindfulness enhances the pattern-recognition process

metacognition is particularly needed to deal with evolving situations where there is significant uncertainty

Metacognition is a term used to describe self-awareness and understanding of one’s own thinking. Haynie and Shepherd (2009) define metacognitive knowledge as the degree to which the individual can reflect on their own thinking process.

the core components of mindfulness. “The Axioms” (Intention, Attention, and Attitude

Mindfulness enhances the metacognition of entrepreneurs, which aids in opportunity evaluation under risky conditions

The very definition of mindfulness delineates an attitude of non-judgment and openness. By cultivating an attitude of non-judgment, we generate acceptance

When we consider the entrepreneurial process, there is a need to look at idea creation, entrepreneurial action, entrepreneurial discovery, and opportunity recognition and evaluation

: “On purpose” or intention, “Paying Attention” or attention, “In a particular way” or attitude.

Successful entrepreneurs speak of “being in the zone,” the same way that athletes and artists can be while working

Mindfulness refers to the state of actively having one’s attention on experiences occurring in the present moment without judgment. T

Attention, the second axiom, is at the core of mindfulness (Shapiro et al., 2006). Maintaining an attentive presence is essential to successful opportunity recognition and scanning of the environment (

Intention involves the “why” you are practicing.

the positive entrepreneurial attributes such as energy, self-confidence, need for achievement, and independence may sometimes devolve naturally into aggressiveness, narcissism, ruthlessness, and irresponsibility, all of which can lead to unethical choices by entrepreneurs

Through mindfulness courses, thousands of attendees have learned to focus their attention and free up mental space for creative thinking (

Mindfulness training has been shown to have many benefits. It not only reduces stress and elevates well-being (Baer, 2003), but it also increases awareness, empathy, compassion, and the ability to self-observe

Opportunity evaluation is a challenging cognitive task for the entrepreneur (

“Everything was stolen from the people of the Antilles: their land, their labor, their skills, their lives,” Summers said during the Clubhouse discussion of the numerous rum companies that have benefited from colonialism and slavery. “It isn’t enough to say, ‘We have black people in our company’ if none of them are on your executive boards. It’s fair to ask any company about its plan to undo its own complicity in colonial capitalism, who owns the equity and who owns the land. Decolonizing means ‘give it back.’”

One of the main sources of enduring Indian political goodwill for its traditional partner, Russia, has been thesense that the latter has been steadfast in its support for India in its disputes with Pakistan.

ndia has been less vocal about the Sino-Russian partnership, but itsanxieties are real. Until now, Pakistan has been out of this Indo-Russian-U.S.-Chinese dynamic.

The latest developments in Afghanistan could intensify Sino-Indian contradictions,consolidate Indian-U.S. relations, and produce greater distance between India and Russia—quickening the paceof the transformation of India’s great-power relationships that was already underway

But the growingsecurity challenges from China have rendered that assumption moot and nudged India closer than ever before tothe United States

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has not minced words in criticizing the Quad and the emerging Indo-Pacific constellation to contain China.

Moscow defended the decisionto keep New Delhi out by arguing the latter had little influence with the Taliban and therefore would not be ableto contribute to the peace process.

For the last couple of years, Moscow has repeatedly emphasized the importance of engaging the Taliban, whileNew Delhi doubled down on its support for the elected government in Kabul.

ndia, of course, views a larger Chinese role in Afghanistan with some concern. New Delhi has warily watchedBeijing steadily expand its economic and military profile in the Indian subcontinent in recent years—in waysthat go beyond its traditional alignment with Islamabad.

A strong partnership with Pakistan, which has considerable influence with the Taliban, enhances China’sprospects in Afghanistan.

Although Beijing has been strongly critical of the rushed U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, it has beenpreparing itself to play a larger role there.

If the United States defends its retrenchment in Afghanistan in the name ofconfronting the China challenge, many see fresh opportunities as well as challenges coming Beijing’s way in thewake of the U.S. withdrawal

The trend line in their relations with China is headed in opposite directions for India and Pakistan. While NewDelhi’s ties with Beijing have seen growing tensions in recent years, the partnership between the so-called ironbrothers—Pakistan and China—has been on the upswing

For India, which seesChina as a greater threat than Pakistan, the Biden administration’s focus on balancing China is certainlywelcome.

One of President Joe Biden’s justifications for ending the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan is theimportance of coping with new challenges from a rising China in the Indo-Pacific region.

New Delhi is probably better prepared than before in dealing with the Pakistan challenge, including thelatter’s instrumentalization of Islamist movements to foreign-policy ends. T

To be sure, India’s concerns about cross-border terrorism will mount with the return of Afghanistan to Talibanrule.

New Delhi, however, will be pleased byany reduction in the salience of Pakistan in the Indian-U.S. partnership.

The first, and arguably the mostimportant theme, is historical and aesthetic: the value of these artifacts asunique objects that help illuminate critical moments in history and shedlight on an important region of the ancient world. The second reflects theartifacts’ place in a historical continuum that extends from prehistory tothe classical era and into the present day, and in some cases, a nation’sself-positioning as an inheritor of parts of that historical legacy. Third isSchliemann’s own presence in the narrative, either as an agent of destruc-tion or discovery, a thief or a hero. A fourth theme that varies from nationto nation but which is nonetheless a shared approach is a patriotic, nation-alistic approach that emphasises the museum and nation’s place in the storyof the works’ discovery and preservation. The final, entirely predictable,theme is both legal and curatorial: each museum’s self-positioning as a pro-tector of the artifacts from Troy and their legal rights of possession to theworks.

This essay willtake no moral stance on the question of object repatriation, but will seek tocontextualise and explore the self-justifying half-truths, convenient fictionsand outright falsehoods put forward by the four institutions that hold theseartifacts, while also explaining the sources and functions of the interpre-tive approaches taken by these institutions, to argue for the importanceof greater transparency, honesty and self-awareness in the presentation ofimportant works of art and cultural history

I believe in the blessing of work.

In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with a baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. I asked a Bangladesh military escort why they weren't using a machine, which would have been a lot easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. Breaking those bricks meant she'd earn enough money to feed herself and her baby that day. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father's words: To work is a blessing.

In the kitchen one Saturday before daylight, I remember complaining to my father and grandfather about having to go milk those cows. My father said, "Ya know, boy, to work is a blessing."
