Attachment security

Thanks to a large EU project on societal security, I have been reading up what we called the unexplored crevasses of  security. One of the big discoveries for me was the rich literature on attachment security
reminded by the Boris Cyrulnik, the impressive French popular writer
link to resilience,
talked on Laurent Ruquier (10/7/2012) about the serenity of a kid experiencing a bombing raid in a basement in the security of his closest family vs the fear of a kid that might be far away from the bombs but also from those securitizing links
also mentions the favellas in Rio:
when police is sent in, the main guys of the gangs have to show they are tough
now they send in soccer players, samba dancers, etc - create links, attachments

C'est  l'exemple  des favelas de Sao  Paulo au  Brésil, où  j'ai travaillé  : les enfants envoyaient  balader les psychologues, mais pas les guitaristes, les danseurs de samba ou  les footballeurs, avec lesquels  un  début de  lien  se  tissait. Avec cette méthode culturelle, le président Lula a  pacifié  50  %  des  favelas,  là  où  la  police avait échoué . Donc il y a du travail culturel à faire, il faut convaincre les hommes politiques que c'est possible.

The rise of the rest

"The decline of the West and the rise of the rest" has become a very popular one-liner amongs the kommentariat.

UK equivalent : ask the average Britton

but also other away of looking at this: the rest is becoming like the West. Which may have enormous implications for armed forces. right now, we are willing to do things in 'the rest' that we would never tolerate in 'the West'. e.g. strike and collateral damage.
we are still willing to use 'force' in the West when we feel that
but we don't fire live ammo - we use rubber bullets, tear gas, water canon
