2009 Key Strategic Issues List, Antulio J. Echevarria Dr.
2009 Key Strategic Issues List, 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.
Criminals, Militias, And Insurgents: Organized Crime In Iraq, Phil Williams Dr.
Criminals, Militias, And Insurgents: Organized Crime In Iraq, Phil Williams Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Dr. Williams looks in detail at major criminal activities, including the theft, diversion, and smuggling of oil, the kidnapping of both Iraqis and foreigners, extortion, car theft, and the theft and smuggling of antiquities. He also considers the critical role played by corruption in facilitating and strengthening organized crime and shows how al-Qaeda in Iraq, Jaish-al-Mahdi, and the Sunni tribes used criminal activities to fund their campaigns of political violence. Dr. Williams identifies the roots of organized crime in post-Ba’athist Iraq in an authoritarian and corrupt state dominated by Saddam Hussein and subject to international sanctions. He also explains the …
Strategic Implications Of Emerging Technologies, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii
Strategic Implications Of Emerging Technologies, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii
Articles & Editorials
KEY INSIGHTS: • The conference could only scratch the surface regarding the strategic implications of several important emerging technologies, namely, biogenetics, biometrics, nanotechnologies, robotics, artificial intelligence, alternative energies, and electromagnetic weaponry. More research is needed in the form of additional conferences, individual studies, and war games, comparing the development of these potentially game-changing technologies globally. • While technical expertise appears plentiful within the U.S. Department of Defense and America’s private sector, both would benefit from the addition of more “strategists” capable of assessing, without prejudice, how individual technologies, or combinations of them, might shift the strategic balance of power, and …
New Partnerships For A New Era: Enhancing The South African Army's Stabilization Role In Africa, Deane-Peter Baker Professor
New Partnerships For A New Era: Enhancing The South African Army's Stabilization Role In Africa, Deane-Peter Baker Professor
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Since emerging from the mire of its apartheid past, South Africa has become a key player in Sub-Saharan Africa. The challenge of creating a truly national military, during a period in which South Africa has also wrestled with tough internal socio-economic problems, has left the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) in a weakened state. Despite this, they have in recent years made a considerable contribution to efforts to bring peace and stability to the African continent. A critical step in building a capable and confident future South African Army has been the commencement of the SA Army’s Vision 2020 …
American Grand Strategy After War, Dallas D. Owens Dr., Ionut C. Popescu Mr.
American Grand Strategy After War, Dallas D. Owens Dr., Ionut C. Popescu Mr.
Articles & Editorials
Academic grand strategists are very much aware of the importance of, the need for, and situational determinants of grand strategy after a change in the strategic environment, typified by a hot or cold war. The difficulty of predicting the time, importance, or response to the next “significant” period requires a substantial change in American grand strategy. The Obama administration will surely attempt to remedy the “grand strategic deficit” that has plagued U.S. foreign policy for the past 20 years. The participants generally agreed that a solid grand strategy needs to articulate U.S. national interests and threats to those interests, prioritize …

State And Nonstate Associated Gangs: Credible "Midwives Of New Social Orders", Max G. Manwaring Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The monograph examines contemporary populism and neopopulism, 21st century socialism, and a nonstate actor (al-Qaeda) seeking regional and global hegemony. They are: first, paramilitary gang permutations in Colombia that are contributing significantly to the erosion of the Colombian state and its democratic institutions, and implementing the anti-system objectives of their elite neo-populist sponsors; second, Hugo Chavez’s use of the New Socialism and popular militias to facilitate his populist Bolivarian dream of creating a mega-state in Latin America; and, third, al-Qaeda’s strategic and hegemonic use of political-criminal gangs to coerce substantive change in Spanish and other Western European foreign and defense …

Provincial Reconstruction Teams: How Do We Know They Work?, Carter Malkasian Dr., Gerald Meyerle Dr.
Provincial Reconstruction Teams: How Do We Know They Work?, Carter Malkasian Dr., Gerald Meyerle Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Over the past 6 years, provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs) have played a growing role in the U.S. counterinsurgency effort in Afghanistan. PRTs are one of several organizations working on reconstruction there, along with civilian development agencies, including the U.S. Agency for International Development, numerous nongovernmental organizations, and the Afghan government’s National Solidarity Program. Perhaps unsurprisingly, something of a debate has emerged over whether PRTs are needed. The authors argue that civilian reconstruction agencies cannot do the same job as the PRTs. While these agencies remain essential for long-term economic and political development, the PRTs conduct reconstruction in ways that help …
Kazakhstan's Defense Policy: An Assessment Of The Trends, Roger N. Mcdermott Mr.
Kazakhstan's Defense Policy: An Assessment Of The Trends, Roger N. Mcdermott Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Kazakhstan’s foreign policy, since its independence, has successfully avoided favoring any one country based on what Astana styles as a “multi-vectored” approach to foreign policy. Yet, in terms of its conduct of defense and security policies, this paradigm simply does not fit with how the regime makes policy in its most sensitive areas of security cooperation. Indeed, its closest defense ties are still with Russia, which have deepened and intensified at a bilateral level, as well as through multilateral initiatives in the context of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Washington’s military assistance programs …

Building Partner Capacity/Security Force Assistance: A New Structural Paradigm, Scott G. Wuestner Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The Civil Response Corps (CRC) would function much like our military reserve. It would ease the burden on the Armed Forces by allowing the hiring of civilians with critical skills to serve on missions abroad when America needs them. The CRC is a product of the efforts of State Department’s Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS). The core mission of S/CRS is to lead, coordinate, and institutionalize U.S. Government civilian capacity to prevent or prepare for post-conflict situations, and to help stabilize and reconstruct societies in transition from conflict or civil strife, so they can reach a sustainable path toward …
Japan's Decision For War In 1941: Some Enduring Lessons, Jeffrey Record Dr.
Japan's Decision For War In 1941: Some Enduring Lessons, Jeffrey Record Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author takes a fresh look at Japan’s decision for war in 1941, and concludes that it was dictated by Japanese pride and the threatened economic destruction of Japan by the United States. He believes that Japanese aggression in East Asia was the root cause of the Pacific War, but argues that the road to war in 1941 was built on American as well as Japanese miscalculations and that both sides suffered from cultural ignorance and racial arrogance. He finds that the Americans underestimated the role of fear and honor in Japanese calculations and overestimated the effectiveness of economic sanctions …
Russia, China, And The United States In Central Asia: Prospects For Great Power Competition And Cooperation In The Shadow Of The Georgian Crisis, Elizabeth Wishnick Dr.
Russia, China, And The United States In Central Asia: Prospects For Great Power Competition And Cooperation In The Shadow Of The Georgian Crisis, Elizabeth Wishnick Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Russia and China have been reacting to the pressures of changing U.S.-Central Asia policy over the past 5 years as has the United States. In response to the “color” revolutions, they achieved broad agreement on the priority of regime security and the need to limit the long-term military presence of the United States in Central Asia. These are also two key areas—defining the political path of Central Asian states and securing a strategic foothold in the region—where the United States finds itself in competition with Russia and China. The Russia-China partnership should not be seen as an anti-U.S. bloc, nor …
After Iraq: The Search For A Sustainable National Security Strategy, Colin S. Gray Dr.
After Iraq: The Search For A Sustainable National Security Strategy, Colin S. Gray Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
A sustainable national security strategy is feasible only when directed by a sustainable national security policy. In the absence of policy guidance, strategy will be meaningless. The only policy that meets both the mandates of American culture and the challenges of the outside world is one that seeks to lead the necessary mission of guarding and advancing world order. The author considers and rejects a policy that would encourage the emergence of a multipolar structure to global politics. He argues that multipolarity not only would fail to maintain order, it would also promote conflict among the inevitably rival great powers. …
Affairs Of State: The Interagency And National Security, Gabriel Marcella Dr.
Affairs Of State: The Interagency And National Security, Gabriel Marcella Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The United States has a large and complex interagency process to deal with national security on a global basis. It is imperative that civilian and military professionals understand that process. The chapters in this volume deal with various dimensions and institutions, from the National Security Council, the Department of State, and other agencies. It also contains case studies of interagency coordination and integration.
