From Inter-Dependence to Conflation: Security and Development in the Post-9/11 Era
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Debates about the interconnections between security and development are not new. Following the attacks of 9/11, however, the security-development nexus shifted from abstract interdependence to political justification for the conceptual and practical conflation of the two fields. The security-development nexus is shifting the terrains of development: official development assistance is being used to strengthen the security and counter-terrorism objectives of donors; growing lists of weak and conflicted states (“failed and fragile states”) are being targeted for multi-pronged state-building projects involving Western military forces; and humanitarian action is being used by governments to strengthen military and political strategies. Development discourse, development resources, and the public support for development are at risk of being high-jacked by an agenda that, in reality, has little to do with development. It is transforming development and enabling a broader transformation of Canadian foreign policy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
