Organizational Change In The Russian Airborne Forces: The Lessons Of The Georgian Conflict, Rod Thornton Dr.
Organizational Change In The Russian Airborne Forces: The Lessons Of The Georgian Conflict, Rod Thornton Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph considers the recent history of organizational change in the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV). In particular, it looks at how the VDV has changed since the end of Russia’s conflict with Georgia in 2008. The VDV, a force much admired in Russian media and society has, in fact, escaped fairly lightly during the comprehensive reform of the Russian Army more generally over the last few years. In large part this has been down to the personality of the current head of the VDV, Lieutenant-General Vladimir Shamanov. Close to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, Shamanov--a "maverick"--has used his political connections to …
The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry And The Future Of Middle East Security, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
The Saudi-Iranian Rivalry And The Future Of Middle East Security, W. Andrew Terrill Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Saudi Arabia and Iran have often behaved as serious rivals for influence in the Middle East and especially the Gulf area since at least Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution and the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq War. While both nations define themselves as Islamic, the differences between their foreign policies could hardly be more dramatic. In most respects, Saudi Arabia is a regional status quo power, while Iran often seeks revolutionary change throughout the Gulf area and the wider Middle East with varying degrees of intensity. Saudi Arabia also has strong ties with Western nations, while Iran views the United States as its most …

Chinese Lessons From Other People’S Wars, Andrew Scobell, David Lai, Roy Kamphausen
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The 12th annual Carlisle Conference on the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) took place at the U.S. Army War College, in Pennsylvania October 22-24, 2010. The topic for this year’s conference was the PLA’s lessons from other people’s wars. Participants at the conference sought to discern what lessons the PLA has been learning from the strategic and operational experiences of the armed forces of other countries during the past three decades.

Arms Control And Proliferation Challenges To The Reset Policy, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Arms Control And Proliferation Challenges To The Reset Policy, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The current U.S. reset policy with Russia involves efforts to blaze a path of mutual cooperation on arms control and proliferation. In arms control, we see determined administration attempts to promote greater nuclear reductions in the direction of nuclear zero, including reductions in tactical nuclear weapons. This necessarily leads Moscow to raise issues of missile defense in Europe that it vehemently opposes. This monograph analyzes Russia’s position on these arms control issues and examines the chances for the United States to achieve its arms control goals in the foreseeable future. It also looks at the Russian position with regard to …
Forecasting Zero: U.S. Nuclear History And The Low Probability Of Disarmament, Jonathan Pearl Mr.
Forecasting Zero: U.S. Nuclear History And The Low Probability Of Disarmament, Jonathan Pearl Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
A vigorous debate is occurring among American elites with respect to whether and when the United States should relinquish its nuclear weapons. Bolstering hopes for tangible results is that a U.S. President is again publicly and forcefully supporting disarmament. While this debate, which addresses both technical and political factors related to abolition, may be the most serious one of its kind since the dawn of the nuclear age, the future of U.S. nuclear weapons policy remains uncertain. The general approach advanced today in U.S. policy circles largely hews, after all, to the logic of the past 65 years: arms control …
The Afghanistan Question And The Reset In U.S.-Russian Relations, Richard J. Krickus Dr.
The Afghanistan Question And The Reset In U.S.-Russian Relations, Richard J. Krickus Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The ability of the United States and Russia to cooperate in Afghanistan represents a solid test of their reset in relations. The author provides the historical background to the Afghanistan Question and assesses current events in the Afghan war with three objectives in mind: 1) To determine whether Russian-American cooperation in Afghanistan has been successful; 2) To identify and evaluate the successes and failures of the counterinsurgency strategy as the transition from U.S. to Afghanistan authority gains traction in the 2011-14 time frame; and 3) To provide conclusions and recommendations bearing on developments in Afghanistan.
Presidential Succession Scenarios In Egypt And Their Impact On U.S.-Egyptian Strategic Relations, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Presidential Succession Scenarios In Egypt And Their Impact On U.S.-Egyptian Strategic Relations, Gregory Aftandilian Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Although this monograph was written before the pro-democracy demonstrations in Egypt in January 2011, it examines the important question as to who might succeed President Hosni Mubarak by analyzing several possible scenarios and what they would mean for U.S. strategic relations with Egypt. The monograph first describes the importance of Egypt in the Middle East region and gives an overview of the U.S.-Egyptian strategic relationship. It then examines the power structure in Egypt to include the presidency, the military, and the ruling party. The monograph next explores various succession scenarios. Although some of the scenarios outlined in this monograph are …
Mexico's "Narco-Refugees": The Looming Challenge For U.S. National Security, Paul Rexton Kan Dr.
Mexico's "Narco-Refugees": The Looming Challenge For U.S. National Security, Paul Rexton Kan Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Since 2006, when Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared war on the drug cartels, there has been a rise in the number of Mexican nationals seeking political asylum in the United States to escape the ongoing drug cartel violence in their home country. Political asylum cases in general are claimed by those who are targeted for their political beliefs or ethnicity in countries that are repressive or are failing. Mexico is neither. Nonetheless, if the health of the Mexican state declines because criminal violence continues, increases, or spreads, U.S. communities will feel an even greater burden on their systems of public …

Adapting, Transforming, And Modernizing Under Fire: The Mexican Military 2006-11, Inigo Guevara Moyano Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Since December 2006, when Felipe Calderon assumed the office of the President, Mexico has embarked upon the implementation of a culture of law and security that has triggered a war with organized crime involving all sectors of society. This implementation has activated a series of renovations in its armed forces, which remain the most trusted institutions in Mexican society. This Letort Paper contributes to an understanding of the structure, culture, motivators, and the challenges that the Mexican military faces in the 21st century. The Paper also provides a clear picture of doctrinal and structural transformations, adaptations, and improvements that the …
Threat Posed By Mounting Vigilantism In Mexico, George W. Grayson Dr.
Threat Posed By Mounting Vigilantism In Mexico, George W. Grayson Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Until the 1980s, Mexico enjoyed relative freedom from violence. Ruthless drug cartels existed, but they usually abided by informal rules of conduct hammered out between several capos and representatives of the dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which ruled the country until the 1990s. Relying on bribes, the desperados pursued their illicit activities with the connivance of authorities. In return for the legal authorities turning a blind eye, drug dealers behaved discretely, shunned high-tech weapons, deferred to public figures, spurned kidnapping, and even appeared with governors at their children’s weddings. Unlike their Colombian counterparts, Mexico’s barons did not seek elective office. …
Puncturing The Counterinsurgency Myth: Britain And Irregular Warfare In The Past, Present, And Future, Andrew Mumford Dr.
Puncturing The Counterinsurgency Myth: Britain And Irregular Warfare In The Past, Present, And Future, Andrew Mumford Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This monograph holds that an aura of mythology has surrounded conventional academic and military perceptions of British performance in the realm of irregular warfare. It identifies 10 myths regarding British counterinsurgency performance and seeks to puncture them by critically assessing the efficacy of the British way of counterinsurgency from the much-vaunted, yet over-hyped, Malayan Emergency to the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq in 2009. It challenges perceptions of the British military as an effective learning institution when it comes to irregular warfare and critically assesses traditional British counterinsurgency strategic maxims regarding hearts and minds and minimum force.
