This volume consists of revised versions of papers presented at conference sponsored by the Asia/Pacific Research Center and the Center for International Security and Cooperation of Stanford University, and the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute on January 4-5, 2002. While there are numerous ways to approach the question of "whither South Asia?" the conference organizers decided to focus on the future of strategic balances and alliances in the region, with 2020 as the target date. This choice of topic allowed the conference participants to talk not only about the patterns of amity and enmity within the region, but …

Afghanistan And The Future Of Warfare: Implications For Army And Defense Policy, Stephen D. Biddle Dr.
Afghanistan And The Future Of Warfare: Implications For Army And Defense Policy, Stephen D. Biddle Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
America's novel use of special forces, precision weapons, and indigenous allies has attracted widespread attention since its debut in Northern Afghanistan last fall. It has proven both influential and controversial. Many think it caused the Taliban's sudden collapse. For them, this "Afghan Model" represents warfare's future, and should become the new template for US defense planning. Critics, however, see Afghanistan as an anomaly - a non-repeatable product of local conditions. This briefing examines the Afghan Model's actual role in the fall of the Taliban using evidence collected from a combination of 45 participant interviews, terrain inspection in Afghanistan, and written …
Dragon On Terrorism: Assessing China's Tactical Gains And Strategic Losses Post-September 11, Mohan Malik Dr.
Dragon On Terrorism: Assessing China's Tactical Gains And Strategic Losses Post-September 11, Mohan Malik Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The U.S. relationship with China and the global war on terrorism are the two most significant strategic challenges faced by the Bush administration. Both are vital and complex; the way the administration manages them will shape American security for many years. While there is a growing literature on both key strategic issues, little analysis has been done on the intersection of the two. This monograph fills the gap as the author assesses how the war on terrorism has affected China. He concludes that the war on terrorism radically altered the Asian strategic environment in ways that negated China's foreign policy …
Transformation Concepts For National Security In The 21st Century, Williamson Murray Dr.
Transformation Concepts For National Security In The 21st Century, Williamson Murray Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This book represents some of the thinking by students at the U.S. Army War College, considering the nature and direction of transformation. They consider how the transformed joint services of the United States should employ force in the 21st century. The services are exploring concepts such as Effects Based Operations and Rapid Decisive Operations to move swiftly and strike vigorously to secure victory in the coming decades. At the same time the nation and its armed forces are developing new concepts of homeland security to defend the country in the war on terrorism. Officers who participated in the Advanced Strategic …
Avoiding Vietnam: The U.S. Army's Response To Defeat In Southeast Asia, Conrad C. Crane Dr.
Avoiding Vietnam: The U.S. Army's Response To Defeat In Southeast Asia, Conrad C. Crane Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
As American operations against terrorism spread around the globe to places like Afghanistan and the Philippines, an increasing tendency has been for commentators to draw parallels with past experience in Vietnam. Even soldiers on the ground have begun to speak in such terms. The author analyzes the Army's response to that defeat in Southeast Asia and its long-term impact. Contrary to the accepted wisdom that nations which lose wars tend to learn best how to correct their mistakes, he argues that Americans tried to forget the unhappy experience with counterinsurgency by refocusing on conventional wars. While that process eventually produced …
Clausewitz's Center Of Gravity: Changing Our Warfighting Doctrine--Again!, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii
Clausewitz's Center Of Gravity: Changing Our Warfighting Doctrine--Again!, Antulio J. Echevarria Ii
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author cuts through the myriad interpretations surrounding the concept and gets back to the original idea as conceived by its author, the Prussian military theorist, Carl von Clausewitz. In going back to the original concept, Lieutenant Colonel Echevarria reveals that Clausewitz intended the center of gravity to function much as its counterpart in the mechanical sciences does, that is, as a focal point. He thus argues, quite persuasively, that the Clausewitzian center of gravity is not a strength, nor a weakness, nor even a source of strength. A center of gravity is the one element within a combatant's entire …

A 21st Century Security Architecture For The Americas: Multilateral Cooperation, Liberal Peace, And Soft Power, Joseph R. Nunez Colonel
A 21st Century Security Architecture For The Americas: Multilateral Cooperation, Liberal Peace, And Soft Power, Joseph R. Nunez Colonel
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph is a constructive response to the question of "How can the United States best develop security cooperation within the Americas?" The author develops the necessary background to make the persuasive argument that it is time for the United States to employ strategic restraint and reassurance of allies to develop a new security architecture that is effective and efficient, not to mention reflective of our values and interests. The threats and challenges articulated are no longer state versus state on a path to eventual war, but more internal, where weak institutions struggle to deal with terrorism, natural disasters, governmental …
The Future Of Transcaspian Security, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
The Future Of Transcaspian Security, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph explores the unprecedented opportunities that are now before the United States and recommends actions that the Government and armed forces, especially, but not only the U.S. Army, should undertake to consolidate and extend the newly emerging military partnership and cooperative security regime that are now developing. Because the opportunities being presented to the United States and NATO were never possible before to this degree, the proper way to exploit them will become a subject of debate.
Pax Nato: The Opportunities Of Enlargement, Raymond A. Millen Ltc
Pax Nato: The Opportunities Of Enlargement, Raymond A. Millen Ltc
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author examines NATO's extraordinary performance and incisive initiatives during the immediate post-Cold War years. He scrutinizes the impact of enlargement on the Alliance, not only from a military but also a geopolitical perspective. He is quick to point out that, without the needed reforms, new members will bring more fat than muscle to the Alliance. However, the process of enlargement has served to harmonize Central and Eastern Europe with Western Europe in a remarkable manner. That achievement alone has made enlargement worthwhile. He goes beyond the next round of enlargement and makes a case for a reorientation of NATO …
Hizballah: Terrorism, National Liberation, Or Menace?, Sami G. Hajjar Dr.
Hizballah: Terrorism, National Liberation, Or Menace?, Sami G. Hajjar Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author reviews the history of Hizballah since its inception in 1982, and examines its role in the recent political turmoil of Lebanon and the region. Not only is Hizballah's role central in the dispute over the Sheb'a Farms enclave between Lebanon and Israel, it is part of an entangled set of linkages involving Syria, Iran, the United States, the European Union, and the Palestinians. The challenge that Hizballah poses to U.S. policy in the Middle East involves complicated strategic issues, not merely problems of terrorism that could be dealt with by countermeasures.
Tweaking Nato: The Case For Integrated Multinational Divisions, Raymond A. Millen Ltc
Tweaking Nato: The Case For Integrated Multinational Divisions, Raymond A. Millen Ltc
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
As the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) adapts to the emerging strategic environment, it must consider innovative organizational structures that will allow it to harness the potential of its European partners. NATO's enduring deficiencies and their detrimental effect on military capabilities are examined. The decade following the end of the Cold War has revealed a far different world than envisioned. As the United States ruefully discovered, the reduced threat did not diminish security obligations. NATO's European members hoped otherwise and paid insufficient attention to military capabilities. NATO enlargement exacerbates the existing problems. NATO's integrated military structure does not easily accommodate …
