 FFWD Weekly - October 14, 2004
Residents in this neighbourhood had been saying, for at least a year, that it was only a matter of time before we had a killing, a drive-by shooting, or some other form of violence.
This is a nice neighbourhood, close to 17th Avenue S.W., the trendy area of Fourth Street and Mission, and a few blocks from the office towers of downtown and the mansions of Mount Royal.
I am told, both by the police and by various representatives of the city, that my particular neighbourhood is seen as a "hot spot" and as "a model." There is apparently a report being prepared, which should be available sometime in October.

The United States has received information about a terrorist threat against a specific neighbourhood in the Saudi city of Jeddah after this week's suicide attacks in the capital Riyadh, the State Department said.
The department, through the US consulate in Jeddah, said it could not assess the credibility of the threat against compounds where expatriates live in the city's al-Hamra district, but said some US officials had moved out of the area in response.
"While we cannot certify the credibility of the threat, in light of recent events this information is being shared with the American community," it said in a notice to Americans in the city.

 Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran says India is an opportunity, not a threat to its neighbours   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As a flourishing democracy, India would certainly welcome more democracy in our neighbourhood, but that too is something that we may encourage and promote; it is not something that we can impose upon others.
The challenge for our diplomacy lies in convincing our neighbours that India is an opportunity not a threat, that far from being besieged by India, they have a vast, productive hinterland that would give their economies far greater opportunities for growth than if they were to rely on their domestic markets alone.
We also believe that the establishment of a peaceful neighbourhood is integrally linked to economic development in our neighbouring countries, an objective that would be best served by India giving access to its neighbours to its huge and growing market.

Mr Solana provided a further, welcome explanation of the European Neighbourhood policy: "the new neighbourhood policy was born out of the fact of enlargement and we could not leave the Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus hanging out of their own holes..we could not abandon the Ukraine.

 Gates, Green-belts and Gemeinshaft: an economic theory of spatial inclusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A quality neighbourhood environment, for example, is created by the individual characteristics of residents and by the multiple private property investments of individual home-owners and a market in private goods has, through a virtuous cyclical process, created a local public good.
In a traditional open neighbourhood, non-residents cannot be excluded from using local infrastructure but this does not prevent the market from providing it since costs are recovered from the individual plots which are excludable.
The case is particularly acute at the neighbourhood level of services, because of the high ratio of external to resident consumers.

 Review: Terrorising the Neighbourhood by Noamk Chomsky   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Terrorizing the Neighbourhood is based around a speech Chomsky made in January of 1990, shortly after the US invasion of Panama.
Both sides used the rhetoric of a threat from the other to justify its actions and retain a consensus at home in favour of intervention abroad.
The power of this consensus is demonstrated in the US by the fact that all the factions of the ruling class were united behind the 'right' of the US to intervene anywhere it liked.

 Our Global Neighborhood3
The alternative to a civilized international system, to a global neighbourhood living peacefully under common neighbourhood values with the help of effective collective mechanisms for common security, is too terrifying to contemplate.
Other equally important security challenges arise from threats to the earth's life- support systems, extreme economic deprivation, the proliferation of conventional small arms, the terrorizing of civilian populations by domestic factions, and gross violations of human rights.
It is possible, of course, for a domestic dispute in the global neighbourhood to assume such proportions that it endangers the peace of the neighbourhood itself.

 Scanning Our Neighbourhood for Safety
New infill developments and a dramatically increased population are seen as a threat in a neighbourhood where there are already large low-income, youth and immigrant populations, lots of break-ins and inadequate social and other services.
The idea was developed by the Women's Action Centre Against Violence as a way of making neighbourhoods safer for vulnerable groups such as women and children, the elderly, people with disabilities, visible minorities and newcomers.
We also were dismayed to find that the community police station is located several neighbourhoods away and that they rely on Neighbourhood Watch Programs, programs which are absent or lapsed in many areas of our neighbourhood.

The retail consultancy estimates that around 10% of the country’s neighbourhood stores will close over the next five years, hit by large retailers which buy into the sector and drive out competition.
A more serious threat comes from the Scottish Executive’s proposal to give rates relief to multiples like Boots and Alldays grocers in smaller towns while failing to give relief to and even surcharging smaller single-owner businesses in bigger towns.
Many analysts believed the deals would breathe new life into neighbourhood stores with a knock-on effect for small next-door shops, which had been losing market share to out-of-town supermarkets and specialist retailers.

 Charles Darwin Symposium 2003
The nature and scale of that threat had changed significantly during the past decade, due to developments in the international political environment and Australia's involvement in international politics, keynote speaker Dr Rohan Gunaratna said.
Dr Gunaratna told the symposium the contemporary threat to Australia stemmed from two categories of cells - Australia-based support cells at the risk of mutating to attack cells, and terrorist infiltration into the country from both Afghanistan/Pakistan and Australia’s immediate neighbourhood, South East Asia.
The war on terrorism had seen Al Qaeda suffer the destruction of its state-of-the-art training and operational infrastructure in Afghanistan, the 60-70% of its core operational leadership, and the capture of 3200 operatives in 102 countries, he said.

It is more accurate to speak of a threat not from terrorism as such, but from the use of terrorist operations and tactics by groups or individuals.

But the mass-terrorism threat we face today is very different from the siege-hostage incidents of the 1970’s, and the demands made of Government are different too.
