Gold, Blood, And Power: Finance And War Through The Ages, James Lacey Mr.
Gold, Blood, And Power: Finance And War Through The Ages, James Lacey Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph presents a survey of the crucial link between state (national) power and finance from the ancient era through to the present day. Cicero once said that the true sinew of war was “endless streams of money.” His observation remains as accurate today as it was when Rome first began constructing its Empire. Unfortunately, too many historical works leave this crucial underpinning link out of their narratives. Even those that do discuss economic and financial concerns typically miss the fact that the size of a state’s economy often has little to do with its capacity to wield influence on …
The Gulf Moment: Arab Relations Since 2011, Florence Gaub Dr.
The Gulf Moment: Arab Relations Since 2011, Florence Gaub Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph examines the impact that the “Arab Spring” has had on how Arab states relate to each other post-regime change and post-Islamist electoral victory. It shows that the region is undergoing a profound change as some traditional regional policy actors are paralyzed by internal turmoil (such as Syria and Egypt), while others do not have a regional ambition (such as Algeria and Morocco). The region has therefore entered a Gulf moment where key decisions pertaining to the region’s future are now taken in Riyadh, Doha, and Abu Dhabi. From having once been mere bystanders of regional politics, the Gulf …

From Frozen Ties To Strategic Engagement: U.S.-Iranian Relationship In 2030, Roman Muzalevsky Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The nuclear talks between Iran and P5+1 following the most stringent sanctions against Iran to date have opened new prospects for relaxation of tensions between Tehran and the West and for a U.S.-Iranian détente in the long run. The coming to power of new presidential administrations in both the United States and Iran, the additional sanctions, major geo-economic and geopolitical trends, and U.S.-Iranian economic and security cooperation imperatives all contributed to these dynamics. Some view the talks as a new beginning in U.S.-Iranian ties, which could herald the emergence of a U.S.-Iranian strategic relationship in the next 15 years. This …
Strengthening Statehood Capabilities For Successful Transitions In The Middle East / North Africa Region, Mohammed El-Katiri Dr.
Strengthening Statehood Capabilities For Successful Transitions In The Middle East / North Africa Region, Mohammed El-Katiri Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
In this monograph, Dr. Mohammed El-Katiri focuses on the variety of challenges that face reform attempts in the post-revolution Arab countries. He examines underlying factors that have prevented new political elites and post-revolution institutions from successfully implementing essential reforms. He explains how these failures have affected the building of these countries' political legitimacy. Dr. El-Katiri concludes with a series of specific policy recommendations, with the aim of preventing further deterioration to the detriment of U.S. interests.

Confidence Building In Cyberspace: A Comparison Of Territorial And Weapons-Based Regimes, Mary Manjikian Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
View the Executive Summary
An analysis of weapons-based confidence-building measures shows how academics can work together to self-police their research for national security implications, socialize new members of the academic community into the importance of considering security issues, and develop and disseminate norms regarding what is and is not a moral and ethical use of these technologies. It may be possible for academics and policymakers to come together to work for a ban or build-down on cyber weapons patterned on international efforts to ban chemical and biological weapons and implement export regimes to control the export of code which may …
Evolving Army Needs For Space-Based Support, Jeffrey L. Caton
Evolving Army Needs For Space-Based Support, Jeffrey L. Caton
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
View the Executive Summary
The Army has been involved with space-based military operations for well over a half-century. During this time, space operations have changed from a realm exclusive to scientists and engineers, to highly classified activities largely unknown to the general population, to the unveiling of space-based communication, imagery, surveillance, and environment capabilities that have become a foundation for all modern warfare. Today, such support is so ingrained into daily operations that most soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines assume it has been, and always will be, available for their use. But with such reliance comes vulnerability that potential adversaries …
Toward A Unified Military Response: Hurricane Sandy And The Dual Status Commander, Ryan Burke Dr., Sue Mcneil Dr.
Toward A Unified Military Response: Hurricane Sandy And The Dual Status Commander, Ryan Burke Dr., Sue Mcneil Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The 2013-14 Army War College Key Strategic Issues List stated: “If Hurricane Sandy is seen as an archetype of a complex catastrophe, then a careful analysis of the effectiveness of the DoD response within the context of dual status commanders [DSCs], lead federal agencies, and state response capabilities needs to be conducted.” This monograph does exactly that as it carefully and comprehensively analyzes the DSC-led military response to Hurricane Sandy in New York. Through this lens, it illustrates and discusses the perspectives of the DSC construct and offers recommendations for leveraging existing capabilities and improving those deemed insufficient. Using a …

Stand Up and Fight is a collection of essays that explores how new National Security Organizations are stood up—that is, formed, organized, funded, and managed—in the first years of their existence. From Joint ventures to combatant commands to cabinet-level departments, each organization’s history reveals important themes and lessons for leaders to consider in forming a new organization. A substantive introduction defines the scope of the project and outlines several important themes including organizational rivalry, the problems of analogical reasoning, the use of simulations, the consequences of failure, the significance of leadership and organizational culture, working with …
Parsing Chinese-Russian Military Exercises, Richard Weitz Dr.
Parsing Chinese-Russian Military Exercises, Richard Weitz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
China and Russia have engaged in an increasing number of joint exercises in recent years. These drills aim to help them deter and, if necessary, defeat potential threats, such as Islamist terrorists trying to destabilize a Central Asian government, while at the same time reassuring their allies that Russia and China would protect them from such challenges. Furthermore, the exercises and other joint Russia-China military activities have a mutual reassurance function, informing Moscow and Beijing about the other’s military potential and building mutual confidence about their friendly intentions toward one another. Finally, the joint exercises try to communicate to third …

A Russian View On Landpower, Keir Giles Mr., Aleksandr V. Rogovoy Major General
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Russia’s seizure of Crimea, and ongoing operations in eastern Ukraine, have refocused attention on the Russian military as a potential cause for concern in Europe. This Letort Paper, by an influential Russian general and military academic, lays out specifically Russian views on the essential nature of strong conventional land forces, and how they may be used. With an expert commentary providing essential context and interpretation, the Paper presents a valuable insight into Russian military thinking, at a potentially critical juncture for European security.

Another Brick In The Wall: The Israeli Experience In Missile Defense, Jean-Loup Samaan Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
View the Executive Summary
For the last 4 decades, Israel has been challenged by the rise of ballistic arsenals in the Middle East. If, at first, the country kept relying on its traditional offensive doctrines, it eventually developed missile defense programs in the early-1980s through U.S.-Israel cooperation and then in the 2000s with the building of its iconic Iron Dome. This Israeli experience in missile defense reveals crucial lessons on the military adaptation to both new threats and new remedies that have direct implications for the United States and its allies.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
View the Executive Summary
With growing international awareness of energy security challenges, the promise of space-based solar power for clean and unlimited energy for all humankind is certainly appealing. While significant progress continues in the enabling technologies of such systems, is there compelling evidence that space-based solar power systems will provide the best energy solution? How does the Army’s current approach to incorporating a diverse portfolio of renewable energy sources in distributed locations compare to the potential of enterprise ventures that beam energy from solar collectors in space? For over 4 decades, many credible organizations in government and industry have …

The State-Society/Citizen Relationship In Security Analysis: Implications For Planning And Implementation Of U.S. Intervention And Peace/State-Building Operations, Yannis A. Stivachtis Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The end of the Cold War, and especially the events of September 11, 2001, have led to the redefinition of the U.S. Army’s role. In this new environment, the purpose of the U.S. Army is not only to win a battle or a war, but also to be involved effectively in peace operations in post-conflict societies. To make the U.S. Army more effective requires prior knowledge about the political, societal, and cultural environment within which these operations would take place, as well as the acquisition of a new set of skills that would allow the U.S. Army to handle sensitive …
Maturing Defense Support Of Civil Authorities And The Dual Status Commander Arrangement Through The Lens Of Process Improvement, Sue Mcneil Dr., Ryan Burke Dr.
Maturing Defense Support Of Civil Authorities And The Dual Status Commander Arrangement Through The Lens Of Process Improvement, Sue Mcneil Dr., Ryan Burke Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The authors advocate the integration of process improvement methods into future Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) operations. They briefly discuss alternative process improvement strategies and their current state of employment in a variety of DoD programs. Methods discussed include Lean Six Sigma, Total Quality Management, and Capability Maturity Models, the utility of such methods is demonstrated, and the value in applying process improvement methods to DSCA operations is articulated. Three recommendations are given to demonstrate how a usable process maturity model can be built and employed for future operations. The monograph concludes by reaffirming the inherent utility of, and …
Thucydides Was Right: Defining The Future Threat, Colin S. Gray Dr.
Thucydides Was Right: Defining The Future Threat, Colin S. Gray Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
To define future threat is, in a sense, an impossible task, yet it is one that must be done. The only sources of empirical evidence accessible are the past and the present; one cannot obtain understanding about the future from the future. The author draws upon the understanding of strategic history obtainable from Thucydides’ great History of the Peloponnesian War. He advises prudence as the operating light for American definition of future threat, and believes that there are historical parallels between the time of Thucydides and our own that can help us avoid much peril. The future must always …
