War Without Borders: The Colombia-Ecuador Crisis Of 2008, Gabriel Marcella Dr.
War Without Borders: The Colombia-Ecuador Crisis Of 2008, Gabriel Marcella Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Unprotected borders are a serious threat to the security of a number of states around the globe. Indeed, the combination of weak states, ungoverned space, terrorism, and international criminal networks make a mockery of the Westphalian system of international order. Latin American countries are experiencing all of these maladies in varying degrees. The Andean region is under assault by a different kind of war that defies borders. In this context, Dr. Gabriel Marcella analyzes the lessons to be learned from the Colombian attack against the clandestine camp of the the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which was located at an …
Regional Spillover Effects Of The Iraq War, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
Regional Spillover Effects Of The Iraq War, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The Iraq war has been one of the dominant factors influencing U.S. strategic thinking in the Middle East and globally since 2003. Yet the problems of this highly dynamic and fluid war have sometimes forced U.S. policymakers to address near-term issues that cannot be safely postponed at the expense of long-term strategic thought. Such a technique, while understandable, cannot continue indefinitely as an approach to policy. Long-term planning remains vital for advancing regionwide U.S. and Iraqi interests following a U.S. drawdown from Iraq. Such planning must include dealing with current and potential “spillover” from the Iraq war.

Hamas And Israel: Conflicting Strategies Of Group-Based Politics, Sherifa D. Zuhur Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Efforts to separate HAMAS from its popular support and network of social and charitable organizations have not been effective in destroying the organization, nor in eradicating the will to resist among a fairly large segment of the Palestinian population. It is important to consider this Islamist movement in the context of a region-wide phenomenon of similar movements with local goals, which can be persuaded to relinquish violence or which could become more violent. Certainly an orientation to HAMAS and its base must be factored into new and more practical and effective approaches to peacemaking in the region. At the same …

Slowing Military Change, Zhivan Alach Dr.
Slowing Military Change, Zhivan Alach Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author looks at the development of military technology in recent years. He examines three major platforms: fighter aircraft, tanks, and cruisers, examining the gaps between generations as well as the capability gains of each succeeding type. While development has slowed, at the same time capability increases have also slowed: it takes longer to get new equipment, and that new equipment is less of an improvement over its predecessor than its predecessor was over its predecessor. Only in electronics and computer technology was that shown to be somewhat untrue, but even there military technology has lagged significantly behind commercial advances. …
The 2006 Lebanon Campaign And The Future Of Warfare: Implications For Army And Defense Policy, Stephen D. Biddle Dr., Jeffrey A. Friedman Mr.
The 2006 Lebanon Campaign And The Future Of Warfare: Implications For Army And Defense Policy, Stephen D. Biddle Dr., Jeffrey A. Friedman Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Many now see future warfare as a matter of nonstate actors employing irregular methods against Western states. This expectation has given rise to a range of sweeping proposals for transforming the U.S. military to meet such threats. In this context, Hezbollah’s 2006 campaign in southern Lebanon has been receiving increasing attention as a prominent recent example of a nonstate actor fighting a Westernized state. In particular, critics of irregular-warfare transformation often cite the 2006 case as evidence that non-state actors can nevertheless wage conventional warfare in state-like ways. This monograph assesses this claim via a detailed analysis of Hezbollah’s military …

Civil-Military Relations In A Post-9/11 World, Leonard Wong Dr.
Civil-Military Relations In A Post-9/11 World, Leonard Wong Dr.
Articles & Editorials
The civil-military relationship, and specifically the interaction between civilian leadership and uniformed military leaders, relies on the attitudes and actions of both civilians and the military. Although recently there has been tension in the relationship between civilian leadership and the uniformed (and retired) military, there is currently no crisis in the civil control aspects of the civil-military relationship. Many options are available to uniformed military leaders to express dissent other than resigning in protest—although these options are rarely discussed in open fora. With an impending change in administration, care should be taken by the arriving civilian and incumbent military leaders …

State Of The U.S. Military Reserve Components, Ralph Wipfli Mr., Dallas D. Owens Dr.
Articles & Editorials
Key Insights from this seminar were (1) Without significant participation by the Reserve Components (RC), effective current and near future military operations and domestic emergency response would not be possible. (2) The current debate about designation of the RC as operational or strategic is largely artificial and unproductive; the RC have periodically performed major operations, constantly conducted domestic operations, and been part of all past war plans; the difference now is that the current high operational tempo makes obvious the centrality of these forces for successful operations. (3) Leveraging the civilian capacities and knowledge of the RC in missions abroad …
Wars Of Ideas And The War Of Ideas, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii Dr.
Wars Of Ideas And The War Of Ideas, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author discusses several types of wars of ideas in an effort to achieve a better understanding of what wars of ideas are. That knowledge, in turn, can help inform strategy. It is important to note, for instance, that because ideas are interpreted subjectively, it is not likely that opposing parties will “win” each other over by means of an ideational campaign alone. Hence, physical events, whether intended or incidental, typically play determining roles in the ways wars of ideas unfold, and how (or whether) they are end. Thus, while the act of communicating strategically remains a vital part of …
From The New Middle Ages To A New Dark Age: The Decline Of The State And U.S. Strategy, Phil Williams Dr.
From The New Middle Ages To A New Dark Age: The Decline Of The State And U.S. Strategy, Phil Williams Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Security and stability in the 21st century have little to do with traditional power politics, military conflict between states, and issues of grand strategy. Instead they revolve around the disruptive consequences of globalization, declining governance, inequality, urbanization, and nonstate violent actors. The author explores the implications of these issues for the United States. He proposes a rejection of “stateocentric” assumptions and an embrace of the notion of the New Middle Ages characterized, among other things, by competing structures, fragmented authority, and the rise of “no-go” zones. He also suggests that the world could tip into a New Dark Age. He …
