Pacific Focus, EarlyView.ABSTRACT South Korea presents a puzzle for threat‐centered accounts of allied nuclear politics. Why did South Korea advance into covert state‐directed exploration of a nuclear weapons option before North Korea possessed nuclear weapons, yet refrain from renewed state‐directed pursuit after North Korea built a substantial nuclear arsenal and posed a ...

Tracing the Untraceable: A Review and Discussion on the Forensic Attribution of 3D‐Printed Firearms
WIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.3D‐printed firearms are rapidly evolving and challenge traditional forensic identification. This review highlights emerging attribution methods, from deposition striae and base‐plate marks to polymer and GSR residual traces, firing marks, and quantitative imaging, identifying the research needed to support robust forensic attribution interpretation and

The Stability‐Instability Paradox and the Evolving Balance of Terror in the Middle East
Middle East Policy, Volume 33, Issue 4, Winter 2026.Abstract In launching its war on Iran, Washington has committed a grave mistake by allowing a weakened Islamic Republic to reconstitute a regional balance of terror. This article shows how the Cold War‐era stability‐instability paradox has been restored in a new form, creating an equilibrium that discourages open warfare while reducing the advantages ...
