Geopolitics, Geography and Strategy
ISBN: 9780714680538 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Geopolitical conditions influence all strategic behaviour - even when cooperation among different kinds of military power is expected as the norm, action has to be planned and executed in specific physical environments. The geographical world cannot be avoided, and it happens to be 'organized' into land, sea, air and space - and possibly the electromagnetic spectrum including 'cyberspace'. Although the meaning of geography for strategy is a perpetual historical theme, explicit theory on the subject is only one hundred years old. Ideas about the implication of geographical, especially spatial,...

Exploring Political Legacies
ISBN: 9783030370084 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 107 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The concept of the political legacy, despite its importance for institutionalist and historically-minded political analysts more generally, remains both elusive and undeveloped theoretically. This book seeks to address that oversight by building on existing studies which have approached the notion of a legacy to offer a clear definition and operationalisation of the term which might be used to inform future research. Legacies we view as traces of the past in the present; the claim to the existence of a legacy is both a causal and a counter-factual claim. We propose, in the light of this, a...

What Should the U.S. Army Learn From History? - Determining the Strategy of the Future through Understanding the Past: Persisting Concerns and Threats, Parallels and Analogies With the Present Days (W
ISBN: 9788027333912 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This monograph examines the potential utility of history as a source of education and possible guidance for the U.S. Army. The author considers the worth in the claim that since history (more accurately termed the past) is all done and gone, it can have no value for today as we try to look forward. This point of view did not find much favor here. The monograph argues that although history does not repeat itself in detail, it certainly does so roughly in parallel circumstances. Of course, much detail differs from one historical case to another, but nonetheless, there are commonly broad and...

Counterinsurgency in Crisis: Britain and the Challenges of Modern Warfare
ISBN: 9780231164276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Long considered the masters of counterinsurgency, the British military encountered significant problems in Iraq and Afghanistan when confronted with insurgent violence. In their effort to apply the principles and doctrines of past campaigns, they failed to prevent Basra and Helmand from descending into lawlessness, criminality, and violence. By juxtaposing the deterioration of these situations against Britain's celebrated legacy of counterinsurgency, this investigation identifies both the contributions and limitations of traditional tactics in such settings, exposing a disconcerting gap...
