Basho, in 17 syllables, juxtaposed a turbulent ocean driven by a storm now past, and captured the almost impossible beauty of our home galaxy with millions of stars, probably hundreds and hundreds of who knows how many planets, maybe even an ocean that we will probably call Sylvia in time.

But, while turbulent times may set the stage for transformational leaders, it does not follow that bold and risk loving leaders are always best suited to address the crises that define such periods. President George H. W. Bush, unlike his son, was transactional, but implemented a very successful foreign policy.

These are just the latest sources of concern in a turbulent period that began two years ago when food shortages hit many countries in Africa and Asia due to a worldwide spike in prices. Higher food prices meant that poor people, already struggling to meet basic human needs, were pushed deeper into poverty.

Section 3.1 of chapter 4 of the UNHCR Manual notes that, due to the unpredictability of funding flows and the frequently turbulent nature of the operational theatre, it is often difficult for UNHCR staff to plan over the course of several years and that, consequently, UNHCR has retained an annual programme calendar and planning documents.

The Swedish labor market s sometimes rather strict systems and stable structures have impeded integration relative to many other countries. And now the number of immigrants is increasing again, reflecting chronic turmoil in the Middle East and elsewhere, as well as Europe s increasingly turbulent and dangerous neighborhood, largely owing to Russian revisionism and military expansion.

Still, to read the well known names of commentators and policymakers who are recommending engaging Syria and or Iran is a testament to how inconsequential and cut off the Western powers have become from the realities on the ground in the world s most turbulent region. That, it seems, is the price of their arrogance.

Musharraf did not uphold the Gladstonian tradition while he was in office for almost nine years, from October 1999 to August 2008. Indeed, he admitted as much in his speech at the launch of his political party, the All Pakistan Muslim League, from a safe distance of thousands of miles from an increasingly turbulent Pakistan.

Nigeria has always sought a leadership role in Africa and its diaspora.

But it changes fundamentally our governance and management paradigm, from the current linear, command and control thinking, looking at efficiencies and optimization towards a much more flexible, a much more adaptive approach, where we recognize that redundancy, both in social and environmental systems, is key to be able to deal with a turbulent era of global change.

One feature of Italy s turbulent politics remains consistent the control exercised by entrenched interests, and the dominance of a bloated and inefficient bureaucracy.

Though country to country engagement with Asia s rising powers may be tempting, and while China often prefers bilateral dealings, renationalization of EU members foreign policies would be counterproductive.

We have only 12 short months to hammer out the elements of a global climate change accord before world leaders convene next December in Copenhagen.

China certainly experienced a turbulent summer, owing to three factors economic weakness, financial panic, and the policy response to these problems. While none on its own would have threatened the world economy, the danger stemmed from a self reinforcing interaction among them weak economic data leads to financial turmoil, which induces policy blunders that in turn fuel more financial panic, economic weakness, and policy mistakes.
