Nato’S Internal Deepening, Endurance, And Expansion: Economic Incentives And Gains As An Explanatory Complement To Realist Alliance Theory, Nikoloz G. Esitashvili, Félix E. Martín
Nato’S Internal Deepening, Endurance, And Expansion: Economic Incentives And Gains As An Explanatory Complement To Realist Alliance Theory, Nikoloz G. Esitashvili, Félix E. Martín
Journal of Strategic Security
NATO endured the end of the Cold War in 1991, its members deepened their commitment to the alliance, and it expanded considerably. Its survival fundamentally challenges the logic of realism, prompting two essential questions. First, is it possible to salvage realist alliance theory in the face of its apparent failure to explain NATO's continuing operation? This article contends that realism is repairable and salvageable in this context. Second, if realism is still a viable argument about NATO's endurance, how can it explain it? This article adds a complementary and still-missing explanation to realism based on economic incentives and gains. It …

Made In China 2025: China’S Strategy For Becoming A Global High-Tech Superpower And Its Implications For The U.S. Economy, National Security, And Free Trade, Derek Adam Levine Phd
Journal of Strategic Security
This article addresses how China’s discriminatory trade practices and illicit means of foreign technology acquisition under its Made in China 2025 plan undermine current international trade orders and pose the greatest threat to its existence. Using both primary and secondary data, this article highlights major implications that Made in China 2025 has on free trade, the overall health of the U.S. economy, and U.S. national security. It proposes a multilateral strategy to preserve the current trade system to steer China on track toward honoring its commitment to free trade and identifies how the United States can maintain supremacy throughout the …
Imperial Nostalgia And Bitter Reality: The United Kingdom, The United States And Brexit, Implications For Regional Integration, Abelardo Rodriguez Dr.
Imperial Nostalgia And Bitter Reality: The United Kingdom, The United States And Brexit, Implications For Regional Integration, Abelardo Rodriguez Dr.
Journal of Strategic Security
Brexit and America First are undeniable examples of a return to state-based politics. This article examines the dichotomy of identity and the state, which has given rise to imperial nostalgia. Nevertheless, the decisions of the elites and the dominant majorities may lead to the fragmentation of the United Kingdom. London has shown itself to be weak in the face of China, Russia, and India and it is not clear if, over the long term, it will be influential in the global political struggles in which the latter countries are challenging the power of the United States. There are even doubts …

Getting Deterrence Right: The Case For Stratified Deterrence, Brent J. Talbot
Getting Deterrence Right: The Case For Stratified Deterrence, Brent J. Talbot
Journal of Strategic Security
The potential for hostilities in the 21st Century is not likely to be deterred by a Cold War deterrence strategy. And while nuclear deterrence remains important, regional powers armed with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and accompanying long-range delivery capabilities are a rising concern. New technological breakthroughs in the space, cyber, and unforeseen realms could also provide asymmetric means of undermining deterrence. Moreover, the effort to achieve strategic stability in this day and age has become increasingly complicated in light of the changing relationship among the great powers. Today’s world has become one of “security trilemmas.” Actions one state …
Zombie Experts And Anarchy Imaginaries: Fantasies Of 'Crises To Be' In Climate Change Futures, Natalie D. Baker
Zombie Experts And Anarchy Imaginaries: Fantasies Of 'Crises To Be' In Climate Change Futures, Natalie D. Baker
Journal of Strategic Security
The characterization of human social response in crisis is most often apocalyptic and dystopic, especially when connected to environmental detriments expected from climate change. This article draws on the cases of zombie apocalypse experts and climate-fiction to situate an investigation into how diametric forms of knowledge compete, dominate, and then replicate in mediated popular culture as forms of truth. It builds on extensive work in areas of both lived disaster response and mythologies. The article links certain philosophies to popular culture as a driver in the construction of knowledge and truth. Here, Foucault and his conceptions of power and knowledge …
The Impact Of Climate Change On Cultural Security, Dominika Krupocin, Jesse Krupocin
The Impact Of Climate Change On Cultural Security, Dominika Krupocin, Jesse Krupocin
Journal of Strategic Security
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges and most pressing issues faced by humanity in the modern era. Extreme weather events, changes to world ecosystems, species extinction, disruption of animal and human migration, resource shortages, socio-economic concerns, outbreaks and pandemics, as well as domestic and international conflicts represent only a few select potential climate change consequences. Regrettably, when considering the issues pertinent to climate change, one of the oft-overlooked areas is cultural security. Rising sea levels will lead to some of the world’s islands and coastal cities essentially being erased from Earth, resulting in the destruction, and possibly even …
Climate Change, Water Scarcity, And The Potential For Interstate Conflict In South Asia, Michael T. Klare
Climate Change, Water Scarcity, And The Potential For Interstate Conflict In South Asia, Michael T. Klare
Journal of Strategic Security
Ever since American security analysts began to consider the impact of global warming on international security, water has been viewed as an especially critical factor. In many parts of the developing world, water supplies are already insufficient to meet societal requirements, and, by shrinking these supplies further, climate change will cause widespread hardship, unrest, and conflict. But exactly what role water plays in this equation has been the subject of considerable reassessment over time. When analysts first examined warming’s impacts, they largely assumed that climate-related water scarcities would most likely provoke conflict within nations; only later did analysts look closely …
