▪️Medical Intelligence: 10 Things It Does, Why It Matters, and What It Looks Like in Practice ▪️ SUIT doctoral researcher David Stanton publishes the first in a new series of policy papers. 🔗Read it here ➡️ tinyurl.com/2d2ymv9r

Snapshot of policy paper including text: Medical Intelligence 10 Things It Does, Why It Matters, and What It Looks Like in Practice David Stanton, FRGS, FEWM, NRP September, 2026 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Medical Intelligence (MEDINT) is the structured collection, analysis, and application of health-related information to inform decision-making in environments shaped by conflict, instability, or strategic complexity. MEDINT is too often treated as an improvised supporting function rather than a defined capability set. Without a clear capability framework, it remains fragmented, inconsistently applied, or absorbed into adjacent functions that lack the analytical framework to use it effectively. This paper sets out ten core capabilities that define MEDINT as a usable policy and operational framework. Each capability can point outward, at an adversary or environment, or inward, at an organisation's own medical signature.

“There are always elites,” says Hugo Drochon in a Q&A with Times Opinion. “The people get to decide which ones rule. That may not be our ideal of democracy, but it’s not nothing, either.”

'Appropriately for someone who remains in the margins of history despite her enormous contribution – including to her husband’s status – Taylor Mill was deeply angered by injustice' Prof. @drhmccabe.bsky.social for @theconversation.com on the English philosopher and women's rights advocate ⬇️

My unsung hero of science: Harriet Taylor Mill, the radical feminist philosopher who lived in the shadow of her husband

Taylor Mill cut to the heart of issues in political thought such as patriarchy, socio-economic justice and freedom.

▪️‘Repairing an aircraft mid-flight’: establishing democratic civilian control in Ukraine during war ▪️ Professor Bettina Renz co-authors new article for Post-Soviet Affairs on Ukraine’s war-driven military reforms under Zelensky Read it here 🔗 tinyurl.com/ywj7kv3u

Article abstract - This study evaluates progress made in establishing Democratic Civilian Control (DCC) in Ukraine under President Zelensky using key criteria drawn from the comparative literature: a civilian-led Ministry of Defence; clear lines of accountability; legislative oversight and a supportive civil society. War had a catalysing effect on military reforms, but this did not extend to DCC where the high external threat generated fears about Russian agents in civilian institutions, further degrading the inter-institutional trust necessary for DCC to function and enhance military effectiveness and efficiency. Although improvements to the legislative basis for DCC were made, war strengthened arguments about the risks of greater civilian oversight and helped maintain existing patronal relations.
