Strategic Minerals In The New World Order, Kent H. Butts
Strategic Minerals In The New World Order, Kent H. Butts
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author discusses U.S. dependence on overseas sources of strategic minerals essential to sustain its economy and defense sector. U.S. vulnerability to a loss of access to important mineral supplies is more pronounced now than at any time since World War II. The uneven distribution of strategic mineral reserves and their concentration in a handful of politically unstable countries make it essential that U.S. policymakers ensure mineral availability in the new world order. The author considers the geographical imbalance of mineral trade patterns, evaluates the stability of the major strategic mineral producing countries, and assesses the potential for mineral supply …
The Future Of The United Nations: Implications For Peace Operations, Steven Metz Dr.
The Future Of The United Nations: Implications For Peace Operations, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
President Clinton has expressed clear support for greater U.N. effectiveness in the peaceful resolution of conflict and the organization of collective security. This entails finding ways to improve U.N. peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peace-enforcement. The U.S. Army will have a vital role in this process and thus must better understand both the U.N. itself and the key issues and questions associated with peace support operations. The foundation of such understanding is debate on a series of broad issues such as the macro-level configuration of the international system, alterations in global values (especially the notion of sovereignty), and the function of the …
Paradigm Lost?: Transitions And The Search For A New World Order, David Jablonsky Dr.
Paradigm Lost?: Transitions And The Search For A New World Order, David Jablonsky Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
After every momentous event, there is usually a transition period, in which participants in the events, whether individuals or nation-states, attempt to chart their way into an unfamiliar future. In the United States in this century, there are three such transitions, each focused on America's role in the international arena. After World War I, the American people specifically rejected the global role for the United States implicit in Woodrow Wilson's strategic vision of collective security. In contrast to this "return to normalcy," after World War II the United States moved inexorably toward international leadership in response to the Soviet threat. …
Afghanistan And Beyond: Reflections On The Future Of Warfare, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Afghanistan And Beyond: Reflections On The Future Of Warfare, Stephen J. Blank Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
This report provides an historical analysis of lessons from one of the most important wars of the 1980s, the war in Afghanistan. After reading this study, you will better understand the nature of operations "other than war" in multiethnic states. Many fear that these wars will set the paradigm for wars in the 1990s and will exert pressure on U.S. forces to conduct peacekeeping, peace-enforcement and humanitarian assistance operations in especially dangerous areas. Yugoslavia and Somalia, each in their own way, bear out the ubiquity of these wars and the pressures on the United States to act. This report will, …
The Nature Of The Post-Cold War World, Charles William Maynes Mr., William G. Hyland Mr.
The Nature Of The Post-Cold War World, Charles William Maynes Mr., William G. Hyland Mr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The editors of the nation's two leading journals on foreign policy were asked to examine the nature of the post-cold war world and America's transitional role. These essays represent the views of Charles William Maynes, editor of Foreign Policy, and William G. Hyland, former editor of Foreign Affairs.
Charles Maynes reviews the major transitions that marked 45 years of Soviet-American strategic confrontation. Predictably, the U.S. global role and defense resources are declining as old threats decrease and domestic problems move higher up on the policy agenda. Less predictably, the relative defense spending of small powers is likely to increase, adding …
General George C. Marshall: Strategic Leadership And The Challenges Of Reconstituting The Army, 1939-41, John T. Nelson Col
General George C. Marshall: Strategic Leadership And The Challenges Of Reconstituting The Army, 1939-41, John T. Nelson Col
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The study of strategic leadership as a formal, analytical concept is relatively new. Therefore, concrete, historical examples of leaders who have wrestled with the width and breadth of strategic-level challenges are of inestimable value. Marshall's contributions were no accident of history. They resulted from the exercise of effective strategic leadership, consciously and consistently applied across a broad spectrum of activities and interests. This study analyzes the nature and effects of that leadership and captures the magnitude of Marshall's achievements as a strategic leader during what were frequently regarded as the unglamorous prewar years.
Eisenhower As Strategist: The Coherent Use Of Military Power In War And Peace, Steven Metz Dr.
Eisenhower As Strategist: The Coherent Use Of Military Power In War And Peace, Steven Metz Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Few if any American officers performed a wider array of strategic functions as Dwight D. Eisenhower--he was a staff planner in the War Department, wartime commander of a massive coalition force, peacetime Chief of Staff, and Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. Eisenhower was directly involved in a number of major transitions including the building of the wartime American Army, its demobilization following the war, and the resuscitation of American military strength during the initial years of the cold war. This means that Eisenhower's career can provide important lessons on how a coherent strategy should and should not be built during …
Peacekeeping, Peacemaking And Peace-Enforcement: The U.S. Role In The New International Order, Donald M. Snow Dr.
Peacekeeping, Peacemaking And Peace-Enforcement: The U.S. Role In The New International Order, Donald M. Snow Dr.
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
The author examines the bases of American military participation in the array of Third World activities falling under the general rubric of peacekeeping and peace-enforcement. The relevance of this inquiry was underscored by President Clinton in his Inaugural Address, when he added situations where "the will and conscience of the international community are defied" to traditional vital interests and as times when American military force might be employed. He considers the major instances in the post-cold war world where so-called humanitarian interventions have occurred or may occur: the aftermath of the Persian Gulf War, Somalia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The …
Land Warfare In The 21st Century, James M. Dubik Colonel, Gordon R. Sullivan General
Land Warfare In The 21st Century, James M. Dubik Colonel, Gordon R. Sullivan General
Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies
Land warfare in the 21st century will be shaped by the cumulative effects of many revolutionary changes that have yet to merge in a clear or predictable pattern. This paper identifies three elements of change that are likely to have the greatest impact on the Army and the joint conduct of land warfare. First, the international system is undergoing its third major transition of the 20th century in response to the end of the cold war. Second, changes in military technology are culminating in what many believe will be a "military-technical revolution" that brings unprecedented depth and transparency to the …
