A brit nemzetbiztonság rövid ismertetĹ‘je – felĂ©pĂtĂ©se Ă©s kihĂvásai
Dolgozatomban az EgyesĂĽlt Királyság nemzetbiztonságát kĂvánom gĂłrcsĹ‘ alá venni. A megadott hazai irodalom vonatkozĂł rĂ©szeinek áttekintĂ©sĂ©n tĂşl is igyekeztem elmĂ©lyĂĽlni a szakirodalomban, feltĂ©rkĂ©pezni a vonatkozĂł publikáciĂłkat, a brit jogforrásokat Ă©s pontosabb, mĂ©lyebb rálátást nyerni a brit nemzetbiztonság jelen helyzetĂ©rĹ‘l, felĂ©pĂtĂ©sĂ©rĹ‘l Ă©s kihĂvásairĂłl. Akaratlanul is, mintegy mellĂ©kvonalkĂ©nt kerĂĽlt elĹ‘ a brit viszonyoknak a hazai szabályozással valĂł alkalmankĂ©nti összevetĂ©se. SzomorĂş aktualitást ad az elemzĂ©snek a február Ăłta zajlĂł ukrajnai háborĂş, hiszen a szenvedĂ©s nyilvánvalĂł csökkentĂ©se iránti igĂ©ny mellett a háborĂşs helyzet több szempontbĂłl is rávilágĂt a nemzetbiztonsági szolgálatok szerepĂ©re, azok fontosságára, a megelĹ‘zĂ©st, a válságkezelĂ©st Ă©s annak utĂłhatását tekintve is. Nagy-Britanniának az ukrán háborĂş – egy totális nukleáris konfliktust leszámĂtva – kevesebb bonyodalmat okoz,mint a nála keletebbre elhelyezkedĹ‘ NATO-partnerállamoknak. A szigetország alapvetĹ‘en más jellegű problĂ©mákkal nĂ©z szembe. Ezek között szerepel a nagy lĂ©tszámĂş muszlim Ă©s más vallásĂş közössĂ©gek integráciĂłja, a volt gyarmatbirodalombĂłl máig nagy számban a szigetekre költözĹ‘ termĂ©szetes szemĂ©lyek által generált nemzetbiztonsági kockázatok Ă©s tĂ©nyezĹ‘k sokasága. Fel kell tenni a kĂ©rdĂ©st, hogy kĂ©pesek-e a brit nemzetbiztonsági szolgálatatok e helyzet kezelĂ©sĂ©re

In India, over the years, the new cropping systems have become predominant in view of their higher productivity as well as income for farmers. Examples are rice-wheat cropping system in the north, groundnut in Gujarat, sugarcane in the north, chickpea in southern states, arhar in the north-western states, soybean in Madhya Pradesh and adjoining states, and winter maize in Bihar. Unfortunately, most of these systems require diversification for greater sustainability and conservation of natural resources. Time is ripe now to bring in needed reforms in the existing cropping systems that are more scientifically based and more suited to varying agro-climatic conditions. The possibilities of future crop diversification that can increase farmers’ production as well as income and also ensure conservation agriculture through sustainable intensification are described in this commentary. There is a need for long term planning and development of various strategies for crop diversification in the best national interest
