The People's Liberation Army and contingency planning in China
ISBN: 9781365073724 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How will China use its increasing military capabilities in the future? China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens from Libya. The most recent Chinese defense white paper states that the armed forces must "make serious preparations to cope with the most complex and difficult scenarios . . . so as to ensure proper responses . . . at...

Kim Jong IL And North Korea: The Leader And The System
ISBN: 9781312307513 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the first decade of the 21st century, few national security challenges facing the United States are as vexing as that posed by North Korea. North Korea is both a paradox and an enigma. It is a paradox because on the one hand, by some measures it appears to be a very powerful state-possessing the world's fourth largest armed forces, a sizeable arsenal of ballistic missiles, and a worrying nuclear program-but on the other hand, it is an economic basket case in terms of agricultural output, industrial production, and foreign trade exports. North Korea is also an enigma because virtually every...

Culture influences the way strategists in a particular country think about matters of war and peace.

China's Use of Military Force: Beyond the Great Wall and the Long March
ISBN: 9780521525855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Andrew Scobell examines the use of Chinese military force abroad as in Korea (1950), Vietnam (1979), and the Taiwan Strait (1995-1996) and domestically, as during the Cultural Revolution of the late 1960s and in the 1989 military crackdown in Tiananmen square. Scobell warns that a "Cult of Defense" disposes Chinese leaders to rationalize all military deployment as defensive. However, changes in the People's Liberation Army's doctrine and capabilities over the past two decades suggest that China's 21st Century leaders may use military force more readily than their predecessors.

China And North Korea: From Comrades-in-Arms To Allies At Arm's Length
ISBN: 9781312329621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The relationship between China and North Korea surely ranks as one of world's strangest. While on the surface, it might not seem surprising to have a formal military alliance between two communist neighbors that has endured more than 4 decades. After all, their armed forces fought shoulder-to-shoulder in the Korean War 50 years ago. However, Beijing's ties to Pyongyang have weakened considerably over time, and China now has much better and stronger relations with the free market democracy of South Korea than it does with the totalitarian, centrally planned economy of North Korea. In many ways...

The Costs Of Conflict: The Impact On China Of A Future War
ISBN: 9781312379862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There is a need for the United States to move the debate over the challenge China presents us beyond the dispositions of the attention grabbing advocates: the rationalizers who explain Chinese actions in benign terms with their own political or academic motives, or the denigrators, who are "The Chinese Are Coming" school-to wit: China is belligerent, a threat, in short, a monster. It is increasingly important for Americans to think carefully about the vast complexities of the U.S.-China relationship, and the calculations that go into forming courses of action. The Chinese have to consider...

Chinese Army Building in the Era of Jiang Zemin
ISBN: 9781410217646 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To many in the United States, China looms large and threatening. What are the national security and national military goals of China's leaders? What strategies are Chinese leaders considering in pursuit of these goals? What is the likelihood that these goals will be attained? This monograph attempts to answer these questions through an analysis of China's defense establishment under the leadership of Jiang Zemin. It assesses the political and economic determinants of China's effort to modernize its armed forces. Four possible strategies are outlined: (1) "playing the superpower game," (2)...

Civil-Military Change In China: Elites, Institutes, And Ideas After The 16th Party Congress
ISBN: 9781312329652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In November 2002, the Chinese Communist Party held its 16th Congress and formally initiated a sweeping turnover of senior leaders in both the Party and the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The meeting heralded not merely a new set of personalities in positions of political and military power, but also the emergence of a new generation of leaders. Who are these individuals, and what does their rise mean for the future of China and its military? The group of China specialists who have written this book have applied their research talents, intelligence, and hands-on experience to clarify and...

China's Growing Military Power: Perspectives on Security, Ballistic Missiles, and Conventional Capabilities
ISBN: 9781312342125 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The tenor of U.S.-China relations for much of the first year of the administration of President George W. Bush was set by a crisis that need not have occurred. How the situation was handled and eventually resolved is instructive. It tells us about a beleaguered communist leadership in the buildup to major generational transition (scheduled for late 2002 and early 2003) and the mettle of a democratically elected U.S. government tested early in its tenure by a series of foreign policy crises and a carefully coordinated set of devastating terrorist strikes against the continental United States....

China's Search for Security
ISBN: 9780231140515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Despite its impressive size and population, economic vitality, and drive to upgrade its military, China remains a vulnerable nation surrounded by powerful rivals and potential foes. Understanding China's foreign policy means fully appreciating these geostrategic challenges, which persist even as the country gains increasing influence over its neighbors. Andrew J. Nathan and Andrew Scobell analyze China's security concerns on four fronts: at home, with its immediate neighbors, in surrounding regional systems, and in the world beyond Asia. By illuminating the issues driving Chinese policy, they...

Projecting Pyongyang: the Future of North Korea's Kim Jong Il Regime
ISBN: 9781312288546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 57 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Forecasting is a challenging business, and this is especially true when North Korea is the subject. A little more than a decade ago, the conventional wisdom was that the end of North Korea was imminent. The country was beset by a severe famine, its economy appeared to have collapsed, and the collapse of the regime seemed destined to follow. In 2008, the conventional wisdom views North Korea as rebounding from the crisis of the last decade and the regime as being on a firm footing. Many experts now scoff at the possibility of the demise of the Kim regime. Dr. Andrew Scobell's research cautions...

North Korea's Strategic Intentions
ISBN: 9781312322387 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 41 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. North Korea poses a key challenge to the global community of states. Sometimes viewed as primarily a nuclear or proliferation challenge, Pyongyang actually presents the United States and other countries with multiple problems. As the 2005 National Defense Strategy of the United States notes, these challenges include "traditional, irregular, and catastrophic." While each dimension of these threat capabilities are fairly clear and, with the exception of the third, readily documented, North Korea's intentions are a much more controversial subject upon which specialists reach widely disparate...

Chinese Lessons from Other Peoples' Wars
ISBN: 9781470064532 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The annual Conference on the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) took place at the U.S. Army War College (USAWC), in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, on October 22-24, 2010.1 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 3 decades. Why did observers of the PLA want to study what Chinese military analysts might learned about non-Chinese wars? The answer is twofold. First,...

Pla Influence on China's National Security Policymaking
ISBN: 9780804796255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years there have been reports of actions purportedly taken by People's Liberation Army (PLA) units without civilian authorization, and of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) civilian leaders seeking to curry favor with the military--suggesting that a nationalistic and increasingly influential PLA is driving more assertive Chinese policies on a range of military and sovereignty issues. To many experienced PLA watchers, however, the PLA remains a "party-army" that is responsive to orders from the CCP. PLA Influence on China's National Security Policymaking seeks to assess the "real"...
