Israeli Targeting: A Legal Appraisal, John J. Merriam, Michael N. Schmitt

Naval War College Review

A review of Israel’s sometimes controversial positions on targeting law within the law of armed conflict shows that they are generally reasonable and consistent with mainstream contemporary state practice.

Notes From Underground: Fugitive Ecology And The Ethics Of Place, Sarah L. Lincoln Mar 2018

Notes From Underground: Fugitive Ecology And The Ethics Of Place, Sarah L. Lincoln

English Faculty Publications and Presentations

In this essay, I argue for “fugitive gardening” as a form of “poaching” or “resignifying,” a radical appropriation of hegemonic spaces and practices that both deconstructs the logics of mastery and hygienic possessiveness that underpin colonial culture, and articulates what we might call a fugitive ecology: a dispossession of self in relation to the environment, a refusal to conceive of land, soil or planet in terms of property. Fugitive gardening sets itself in opposition to the prisons, camps and forts that index South African political history, restorying place, environment, and the self as grounds for community formation, dialogue and cooperation. …


U. S. Fiscal Policy And Asset Prices: The Role Of Partisan Conflict, Rangan Gupta, Chi Keung Marco Lau, Stephen M. Miller, Mark E. Wohar Mar 2018

U. S. Fiscal Policy And Asset Prices: The Role Of Partisan Conflict, Rangan Gupta, Chi Keung Marco Lau, Stephen M. Miller, Mark E. Wohar

Molasky Family Department of Economics and Real Estate Faculty Research

Fiscal policy shocks exert wide-reaching effects, including movements in asset markets. US politics have been characterized historically by a high degree of partisan conflict. The combination of increasing polarization and divided government leads not only to significant Congressional gridlock, but also to spells of high fiscal policy uncertainty. This paper adds to the literature on the relationships between fiscal policy and asset prices in the US economy conditional on the degree of partisan conflict. We analyze whether a higher degree of partisan conflict (legislative gridlock) reduces the efficacy of the effect and response of fiscal policy on and to asset …


Interprofessional Collaborative Approach For Improving Situation Awareness Using Simulation In A Nursing Residency Program, Jill Van Der Like, Steven Kass, Christopher O. Jr. Downing, Kahla Davis, Cynthia Smith-Peters, Steve Vodanovich Mar 2018

Interprofessional Collaborative Approach For Improving Situation Awareness Using Simulation In A Nursing Residency Program, Jill Van Der Like, Steven Kass, Christopher O. Jr. Downing, Kahla Davis, Cynthia Smith-Peters, Steve Vodanovich

Nursing Education Research Conference (NERC)

Lack of situation awareness (SA) in healthcare is a leading cause of medical errors. The University of West Florida's psychology and nursing faculty collaborated on an interdisciplinary, innovative approach to enhancing SA among novice nurses in a residency program. SA improvement was later assessed in a simulated patient care setting.

Why Taiwan? Geostrategic Rationales For China’S Territorial Integrity, By Alan M. Wachman, Andrew S. Erickson Mar 2018

Why Taiwan? Geostrategic Rationales For China’S Territorial Integrity, By Alan M. Wachman, Andrew S. Erickson

Naval War College Review

Tufts Fletcher School professor Alan Wachman was a giant in the China, East Asian studies, and international rela- tions field who remains sorely missed following his untimely death in 2012. In what is widely considered one of his major scholarly contributions, through this pithy, well-researched book—rightly considered a classic—Wachman engages in exceptional interdisciplinary analysis to offer provocative coverage of historical episodes that have shaped Taiwan’s status fundamentally. Some events raise penetrating questions about what might have resulted had they ended differently; other factors inspire critical questions about East Asia’s future.

Fire On The Water: China, America, And The Future Of The Pacific, By Robert Haddick, Ian T. Sundstrom Mar 2018

Fire On The Water: China, America, And The Future Of The Pacific, By Robert Haddick, Ian T. Sundstrom

Naval War College Review

Robert Haddick proposes a revised U.S. strategy toward China. He argues agreeing with recent U.S. national security strategies—that continued U.S. forward presence is the only option that supports the American objectives of “an open international economic system; respect for universal values around the world; and a rules-based international order that promotes peace, security, and opportunity through stronger cooperation.” He articulates a two-front effort to ensure China rises within the existing international structure: positive reinforcement of good behavior combined with significant defense reforms to allow punishment of bad behavior.


Invasion Of Laos, 1971: Lam Son 719, By Robert D. Sander, Joseph Hammond Mar 2018

Invasion Of Laos, 1971: Lam Son 719, By Robert D. Sander, Joseph Hammond

Naval War College Review

“The only chance we have is to initiate bold moves against the enemy,” na- tional security adviser Henry Kissinger confided in 1971. This was his advice to the administration of President Nixon, which sought to end the Vietnam War by creating “peace with honor.” “Bold moves” would include two new strate- gies. One was resumed bombing of North Vietnam. The second would be new ground raids into Cambodia and Laos to disrupt the Ho Chi Minh Trail—the network that allowed Hanoi to supply communist forces in the south, and that at its peak even in- cluded an oil pipeline from …


More Than Just War: Narratives Of The Just War Tradition And Military Life, By Charles A. Jones, Joseph M. Hatfield Mar 2018

More Than Just War: Narratives Of The Just War Tradition And Military Life, By Charles A. Jones, Joseph M. Hatfield

Naval War College Review

Pedestrian forms of philosophical in- novation often involve the application of old ideas to new cases. It should there- fore come as no surprise that the creative bulk of what is published today on the ethics of war achieves its novelty —when it does at all—by applying the just war tradition to hitherto- unexamined aspects of contemporary warfare, for example, drones and unmanned systems, cyber warfare, intelligence and covert operations, asymmetric warfare, and terrorism.

The Evil Hours: A Biography Of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, By David J. Morris, Christopher Nelson

Naval War College Review

The numbers are staggering. In 2012 the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) estimated that eight thousand veterans take their own lives every year. Think about that—twenty-two people die every day of whom many, in pain and having lost hope, have carried their war with them for far too long. For some it may have been recent fight- ing in Afghanistan or Iraq; for others it may have been decades ago in the jungles of Southeast Asia. Regardless, the trauma these people experienced knows no boundaries between deserts and mountains, between marshes and oceans. Or as the great First World …

Review Essay: Grand Strategy And World Order, Karl Walling Mar 2018

Review Essay: Grand Strategy And World Order, Karl Walling

Naval War College Review

From the end of the Cold War in 1989–91 and with increasing urgency in the immediate aftermath of 11 September 2001, perhaps few subjects seemed more important to those who frame and study strategy than developing a new American grand strategy for the twenty-first century. Who would play the role of George Washington in his Farewell Address advising Americans to steer clear of permanent alliances (he did not say “entangling alliances”—that was Thomas Jefferson’s phrase in his first inaugural message; Washington’s brilliant speech- writer, Alexander Hamilton, accepted that temporary alliances might be neces- sary or advisable from time to time, …


Frogmen Against A Fleet: The Italian Attack On Alexandria 18/19 December 1941, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi Mar 2018

Frogmen Against A Fleet: The Italian Attack On Alexandria 18/19 December 1941, Vincent P. O’Hara, Enrico Cernuschi

Naval War College Review

In March 1939 Italy’s Regia Marina established a specialized and secret naval warfare unit called Decima Flottiglia MAS (Motoscafo Anti Sommergibili), generally known as the 10th Light Flotilla or X MAS. This unit was innovative, in that it employed selected, highly trained personnel using special weapons and delivery systems to conduct sneak attacks. On the night of 18 December 1941, six members of this unit penetrated the main British naval base in the eastern Mediterranean at Alexandria, Egypt, and disabled the Mediterranean Fleet’s two battleships, a tanker, and a destroyer. In few military endeavors has so little been risked to …


“The Navy’S Success Speaks For Itself”?: The German Navy’S Independent Energy Security Strategy, 1932–1940, Anand Toprani Mar 2018

“The Navy’S Success Speaks For Itself”?: The German Navy’S Independent Energy Security Strategy, 1932–1940, Anand Toprani

Naval War College Review

The National Socialists’ primary foreign policy objective after taking office was to rearm Germany so that it might reverse the verdict of the First World War and acquire the “living space” necessary to becoming a world power on par with Britain or the United States. For the German armed services, the Third Reich’s ambitious plans meant that they were compelled to broaden their missions and operational capabilities.


Mentoring In The U.S. Navy: Experiences And Attitudes Of Senior Navy Personnel, W. Brad Johnson, Gene R. Andersen Mar 2018

Mentoring In The U.S. Navy: Experiences And Attitudes Of Senior Navy Personnel, W. Brad Johnson, Gene R. Andersen

Naval War College Review

The first operational definition of mentoring in organizations—offered by Kathy Kram in 1985—proposed that mentoring relationships facilitate an individual’s professional development through two distinct categories of “mentoring functions.” Career functions included sponsorship, exposure and visibility, coaching, protection, and provision of challenging assignments. Psychosocial functions included role modeling, acceptance and confirmation, counseling, and friendship.

The Jmsdf’S Resilient Power For Civil Society: Lessons From The Great East Japan Earthquake, Takuya Shimodaira

Naval War College Review

The Asia-Pacific is a disaster-prone region. In humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) operations, it is crucial to save lives at the outset .Success in the initial phase will produce trustful relationships among civil and military actors and will influence subsequent relief operations. Soon after Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) struck the central Philippines on 8 November 2013, the United States dispatched an aircraft carrier and conducted Operation DAMAYAN. Dr. Patrick Cronin, senior director of the Asia-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, wrote, “The response to Haiyan could be a turning point for the United States in …


Implications Of Xi Jinping’S “True Maritime Power”: Its Context, Significance, And Impact On The Region, Sukjoon Yoon Mar 2018

Implications Of Xi Jinping’S “True Maritime Power”: Its Context, Significance, And Impact On The Region, Sukjoon Yoon

Naval War College Review

Xi Jinping’s declaration that China should strive to become a “true maritime power” (海洋强國) has been much discussed in the context of China’s “peaceful rise” (和平崛起) and the pursuit of the “Chinese dream” (中国夢). 1 Although there is, at face value, nothing quite new about Xi’s exhortation to the Chinese leadership, his remarks need to be understood against a rather complex background of situations, policies, and aspirations if their full significance is to be appreciated. Xi’s policy is not just about geographic dispositions but needs to be seen in terms of U.S. Navy captain Alfred Thayer Mahan’s sea-power theory—the “neo- …
