Eliminating the Giggle Factor
ISBN: 9781499786866 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 24 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Giggle Factor (GF). Mention "Planetary Defense" and you'll soon understand. Even without invoking the sinister vision of alien beings arriving to enslave or destroy humanity, the eyebrows of serious and senior members of the national defense and scientific communities go askew when the subject is broached, whether at cocktail parties or congressional budget hearings. Even the most ardent supporters of defending the Earth from cataclysmic cometary or asteroidal impacts share occasional public or private chuckles with colleagues and skeptics-behavior considered unthinkable when discussing...

Already home to more of the world's democratizing states than any other region, even modest reverberations from the Arab Spring on Africa's democratic trajectory will have implications for global...

ISBN: 9781478199854 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) France is the only European ally-except for the United Kingdom (UK)-that regards its military capabilities, operational performance, and defense industry as vital levers to exert global influence. While the French believe strongly in their need to preserve "strategic independence," they see new challenges in the evolving international security environment that will oblige them to accept greater cooperation with others, even in areas once considered too sensitive to discuss. Although some French strategists remain uncomfortable with the notion of closer defense ties with the United States,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Measuring the effectiveness of deterrence activities and messages is challenging since the adversary will not admit to being deterred.

ISBN: 9781500582241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) By the late 1990s, the term WMD was an integral part of American national security discourse, as evident by its growing usage. A full text search of the New York Times identified the number of stories every year from 1945 to 2010 using the term WMD or a variant. Other than 1973, the term appeared in at least one article every year during that 65-year period. During the late 1940s and early 1950s, it appeared in stories about 30 times every year, declining to an average of only 20 a year in the late 1950s and the 1960s. There were fewer than nine stories every year on average during the 1970s...

Fragility and State-Society Relations in South Sudan
ISBN: 9781502961969 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) It has long been recognized that the new state of South Sudan would face daunting challenges. The world's newest nation is also one of its poorest-the result of negligible investment in its people and infrastructure over many decades by the erstwhile governing authority in Khartoum. War ravaged the country nearly continuously since 1955, costing over 2 million lives. South Sudan's state-building effort, moreover, started from a rudimentary institutional base, having inherited few functional governance systems. What governance structures existed were confined to former garrison towns such as...

For more than 2 decades, I have been studying the mechanisms and methods we use as a nation to develop and conduct grand strategy. The conversation that began at that conference needs to be further developed and continued. More importantly, we, as a nation, need to explore together the path ahead and answer questions regarding how and why we struggle with grand strategies....

E Pluribus Unum "Homeland Security Versus Homeland Defense" Who Does What and to Whom?

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This study: E Pluribus Unum examines the problem of providing comprehensive Homeland Security. The research follows the ambiguity of Homeland Security (HS) terminology that invariably leads to mission overlap and jurisdictional disputes, as well as the confusion resulting from the lack of a current and over-arching National Security strategy and structure. These deficiencies in strategy and structure result in continuing systemic failures that place the American public at risk. Comparison of the various entities directed to provide HS reveals a multitude of diverse agencies without a cohesive...
