Chinese Energy Security: The Myth Of The Plan's Frontline Status, Ryan Clarke Dr.
Chinese Energy Security: The Myth Of The Plan's Frontline Status, Ryan Clarke Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph examines the dynamics of China’s energy security dilemma and the role of the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). Following this, PLAN development is discussed and its future role in regional security is hypothesized. This report argues that it is domestic market inefficiencies and poor management practices that pose the greatest threat to China’s energy security. Further, less and less of Chinese energy imports are making their way to the country by sea, and as such, the PLAN actually has a minimal role to play. Given these realities, Chinese fears of a naval blockade that deprives it of energy …
Dilemmas Of Brazilian Grand Strategy, Hal Brands Dr.
Dilemmas Of Brazilian Grand Strategy, Hal Brands Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph analyzes Brazilian grand strategy under President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. During Lula’s nearly 8 years in office, he has pursued a multi-tiered grand strategy aimed at hastening the transition from unipolarity to a multipolar order in which international rules, norms, and institutions are more favorable to Brazilian interests. Lula has done so by emphasizing three diplomatic strategies: soft-balancing, coalition-building, and seeking to position Brazil as the leader of a more united South America. This strategy has successfully raised Brazil’s profile and increased its diplomatic flexibility, but it has also exposed the country to four potent strategic dilemmas …
Organizing To Compete In The Political Terrain, Nadia Schadlow Dr.
Organizing To Compete In The Political Terrain, Nadia Schadlow Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In this analysis, the author identifies some of the contining obstacles to achieving civil-military integration in war. She argues that there are continuing disagreements about who should lead the shaping of the political landscape in war, and that while doctrine has advanced in this area, good doctrine does not guarantee the effective execution of governance-related tasks. Sound operational approaches are required as well.

2010 Key Strategic Issues List (Ksil), Antulio J. Echevarria Dr.
Articles & Editorials
Unlike other lists that generally reflect issues which are operational or tactical in nature, the focus of the Key Strategic Issues List is strategic. The spotlight is, in other words, on those items that senior Army and Department of Defense leaders should consider in providing military advice and formulating military strategy. At present, the U.S. military is engaged in a changing situation in Iraq and an increasing presence in Afghanistan, as well as efforts to restore balance in force sizing and structure.
Got Vision? Unity Of Vision In Policy And Strategy: What It Is And Why We Need It, Anna Simons Dr.
Got Vision? Unity Of Vision In Policy And Strategy: What It Is And Why We Need It, Anna Simons Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Moving beyond “unity of effort” and “unity of command,” this monograph identifies an overarching need for “unity of vision.” Without someone at the helm who has a certain kind--not turn, not frame, but kind--of mind, asymmetric confrontations will be hard (if not impossible) to win. If visionary generals can be said to possess “coup d’oeil,” then unity of vision is cross-cultural coup d’oeil. As with strategic insight, either individuals have the ability to take what they know of another society and turn this to strategic--and war-winning--effect, or they do not. While having prior knowledge of the enemy is essential, strategy …

Decisionmaking In Operation Iraqi Freedom: The Strategic Shift Of 2007, Steven Metz Dr.
Decisionmaking In Operation Iraqi Freedom: The Strategic Shift Of 2007, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In this second volume of the series, Dr. Metz looks carefully at the 2007 decision to surge forces into Iraq, a choice which is generally considered to have been effective in turning the tide of the war from potential disaster to possible—perhaps probable—strategic success. Although numerous strategic decisions remain to be made as the U.S. military executes its “responsible withdrawal” from Iraq, Dr. Metz has encapsulated much of the entire war in these two monographs, describing both the start and what may eventually be seen as the beginning of the end of the war. In this volume, he provides readers …

NATO officials plan to unveil the new NATO Strategic Concept during the Alliance’s summit in Portugal at the end of this year. This monograph focuses on the impact of what the Strategic Concept will have on the Alliance. This analysis describes recent trends within NATO and their implications. The monograph provides senior military and political leaders with a discussion of the changing composition of the NATO nations and the impact of these changes on the nature of the Alliance. This monograph describes four possible scenarios of what NATO could look like in the future in order to give senior leaders …

Shades Of Cords In The Kush: The False Hope Of "Unity Of Effort" In American Counterinsurgency, Henry Nuzum Mr.
Shades Of Cords In The Kush: The False Hope Of "Unity Of Effort" In American Counterinsurgency, Henry Nuzum Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Counterinsurgency (COIN) requires an integrated military, political, and economic program best developed by teams that field both civilians and soldiers. These units should operate with some independence but under a coherent command. In Vietnam, after several false starts, the United States developed an effective unified organization, Civil Operations and Revolutionary Development Support (CORDS), to guide the counterinsurgency. CORDS had three components absent from our efforts in Afghanistan today: sufficient personnel (particularly civilian), numerous teams, and a single chain of command that united the separate COIN programs of the disparate American departments at the district, provincial, regional, and national levels. This …
The Construction Of Liberal Democracy: The Role Of Civil-Military Institutions In State And Nation-Building In West Germany And South Africa, Jack J. Porter Dr.
The Construction Of Liberal Democracy: The Role Of Civil-Military Institutions In State And Nation-Building In West Germany And South Africa, Jack J. Porter Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Recent experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan remind U.S. policymakers of the tremendous obstacles and challenges that confront states as they attempt to install liberal, democratic political institutions. The multifaceted transition process involves a host of overlapping and interrelated political, economic, and social innovations that often must be tailored to the specific historical, demographic, and regional needs of each community. While it would be presumptuous to suggest any rigid schedule or set of priorities, most scholars and policymakers agree that restructuring the security and civil-military institutions is vital to the transition. The primary focus of this analysis is a detailed examination …
Crime, Violence, And The Crisis In Guatemala: A Case Study In The Erosion Of The State, Hal Brands Dr.
Crime, Violence, And The Crisis In Guatemala: A Case Study In The Erosion Of The State, Hal Brands Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Guatemala is currently experiencing a full-blown crisis of the democratic state. An unholy trinity of criminal elements—international drug traffickers, domestically based organized crime syndicates, and youth gangs—is effectively waging a form of irregular warfare against government institutions, with devastating consequences. The police, the judiciary, and entire local and departmental governments are rife with criminal infiltrators; murder statistics have surpassed civil-war levels in recent years; criminal operatives brazenly assassinate government officials and troublesome members of the political class; and broad swaths of territory are now effectively under the control of criminal groups. Guatemala’s weak institutions have been unable to contain this …

Criminal Sovereignty: Understanding North Korea's Illicit International Activities, Paul Rexton Kan Dr., Bruce E. Bechtol Dr., Robert M. Collins Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph examines Office Number 39’s origins, organizational structure, and activities in order to develop a more calibrated strategy and policy to meet the North Korean challenge. This monograph focuses on Office Number 39's key illicit activities— to include manufacture and distribution of illegal drugs, the counterfeiting of U.S. currency, and the manufacture and distribution of counterfeit cigarettes. Finally, as Kim Jong-Il grows frailer, assessing how his successor may continue or alter Office Number 39’s activities is also examined.
