Clausewitz and Chaos: Friction in War and Military Policy
ISBN: 9780275969516 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The great Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz, in his classic "On War," introduced the idea of friction in war. Friction was one of the most important ideas that Clausewitz put forward. His application of the term is generally taken to be limited to events on the field of battle. But had Clausewitz lived to the end of the 20th century, he undoubtedly would have broadened his understanding of friction to include the nexus between war and policy making. He would have done so because his most fundamental insight, apart from the significance of friction in war, was his insistence...

The Politics of Warfare: The Great Powers in the Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9780271025926 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The twentieth century is often described as a century of total war, ranging from the two World Wars to countless civil wars and terrorist conflicts. As the century draws to a close, Stephen J. Cimbala wonders how the nature of warfare has changed over the years. His starting point is a simple observation by Carl von Clausewitz, the great Prussian philosopher of war, that wars are inseparable from politics. The Politics of Warfare explores how Clausewitz stands up against the historic experience of our century and anticipates what we might expect as we enter the next....

ISBN: 9780275935924 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cimbala argues that a well-thought-out policy for conflict termination is currently lacking within the NATO alliance and that this lack leaves nations open to the danger of a quickly escalating nuclear conflict, should prevention policies fail and a war in Europe actually occur.

Military Persuasion: Deterrence and Provocation in Crisis and War
ISBN: 9780271010069 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Military Persuasion, Stephen J. Cimbala reconciles two central approaches to war and peace studies. In the study of crisis management and war termination, the security literature overwhelmingly emphasizes the making of credible deterrent threats and coercive bargaining, while peace studies and conflict resolution literature focuses on conciliation and the offering of acceptable terms prior to or during a conflict. Cimbala contends that both threats and accommodation have their place in successfully preventing and ending conflicts. Military Persuasion is... In Military Persuasion, Stephen J.

Knowing how to end war and to prevent the escalation of conflict is of paramount importance today when weapons of mass destruction have spread beyond the control of major powers and democratically accountable governments, and when regional and global stability have become more precarious. Stephen Cimbala and Sidney Waldman have drawn together prominent analysts with different perspectives to discuss key issues before and after the Cold War. This authoritative and provocative study assesses military and political strategies of serious concern to military historians and professionals,...

Us Military Strategy and the Cold War Endgame
ISBN: 9780714641171 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The transition from the end of the Cold War to a new world order is both promising and perilous. Security concerns are based more on the prevention or containment of regional and civil conflicts than on fears of nuclear or Eurasian global wars. The antagonists of the Cold War will be the collaborators of the next century in seeking to stabilize the conflict inside and outside Europe and to prevent further proliferation of nuclear weapons. Deterrence characteristics of the pre-Cold War period will in the 21st century again become normative.

Strategy After Deterrence
ISBN: 9780275937416 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The profound political changes in the USSR and Eastern Europe during 1989 have forced the United States and its Western European allies to reevaluate both their long held military strategy of nuclear deterrence and the traditional role of NATO in European affairs. In this volume, Stephen Cimbala considers the ways in which American military priorities will have to change now that the tangible threat to Europe has been removed, exploring the options available to America and NATO given the new political and economic realities in Europe and the Soviet Union. Drawing upon a rich literature of... The profound political changes in the USSR and Eastern Europe during 1989 have forced the United States and its Western European allies to reevalua... |

Strategic Impasse: Offense, Defense, and Deterrence Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780313265167 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There is probably no area of more crucial concern nor one more subject to possible misunderstanding and riddled with paradox than nuclear weapons and their use, not only in war, but as deterrents to war. In Strategic Impasse, Cimbala examines the critical issues, problems, and paradoxes inherent in the current nuclear situation. It is from a fundamental contradiction--the usefulness of nuclear weapons versus the undesirability of nuclear war--that nuclear deadlock arises. Their usefulness as deterrents is based on their destructive potential and the balance of power in Europe cannot be...

Civil-Military Relations in Perspective: Strategy, Structure and Policy
ISBN: 9781409429784 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The topic of civil-military relations has high significance for academics, for policy makers, for military commanders, and for serious students of public policy in democratic and other societies. The post-Cold War and post-9-11 worlds have thrown up traditional as well as new challenges to the effective management of armed forces and defense establishments. Further, the present century has seen a rising arc in the use of armed violence on the part of non-state actors, including terrorists, to considerable political effect. Civil-military relations in the United States, and their implications...

Nuclear Weapons and Cooperative Security in the 21st Century: The New Disorder
ISBN: 9780415552288 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book looks at the prospects for international cooperation over nuclear weapons proliferation in the 21st century. Nuclear weapons served as stabilizing forces during the Cold War, or the First Nuclear Age, on account of their capability for destruction, the fear that this created among politicians and publics, and the domination of the nuclear world order by two superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union. The end of the Cold War, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the potential for nuclear weapons acquisition among revisionist states, or even non-state actors...

The Technology, Strategy, and Politics of SDI
ISBN: 9780367296476 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to develop a ballistic missile defense (BMD) system has both short-range and long-range risks as well as potential benefits. For the most part, however, strategic, technological, and political issues relevant to SDI have been analyzed in isolation from one another. This book provides a more inclusive framework for assessing the possible development and deployment of a BMD system by the United States or the Soviet Union. Contributors discuss the risks for arms race stability, probable reactions of the Soviet Union to any U.S. space-based defense system,...

The Dead Volcano: The Background and Effects of Nuclear War Complacency
ISBN: 9780275973872 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cimbala argues that nuclear complacency is based on a misreading of history and on unsound political and military analysis. The stability factors built into the Cold War international system are now missing. The spread of nuclear weapons after the Cold War moved toward regional actors outside of Europe, some with religious or national scores to settle. Technology transfer of ballistic missiles and other delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, including biological and chemical as well as nuclear weapons, brings the danger of nuclear eruption closer to reality. Finally, the... Cimbala argues that nuclear complacency is based on a misreading of history and on unsound political and military analysis. The stability factors b... |

Challenges to Deterrence: Resources, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9780275923501 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Challenge to Deterrence" is based on a panel discussion from the 1985 American Political Science Association meeting in New Orleans. In this comprehensive study, eminent scholars address all aspects of U.S. deterrence policy from both technical and policy aspects. Along with discussions on technology currently available to the U.S. and how it can be used more effectively, contributors speculate on Soviet strategic planning and how the U.S. can get allies, such as Japan and Israel, more involved in deterrence activity.

Through a Glass Darkly: Looking at Conflict Prevention, Management, and Termination
ISBN: 9780275971847 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cimbala shows why the prevention, management, and concluding of war all require an understanding of the subjective aspects of decision making as well as the hardware and tactics of military operations. A review of past cases of U.S. security policy decision making and a preview of some future problems are combined to distill important lessons about coping with conflict in the post-Cold War world. These lessons include the awareness that some conflicts are unnecessarily provoked or prolonged on account of the gap between the perspectives and experiences of civilian policy makers and the...

The Past and Future of Nuclear Deterrence
ISBN: 9780275962395 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As proven by the recent discovery of ongoing research and tests in India and Pakistan, the nuclear age is not dead. Nuclear weapons, deployed in plentiful numbers during the Cold War by the Americans and Soviets, and, in lesser numbers, by others, were nevertheless controlled in their use by the essential equivalence, of U.S. and Soviet strategic power and by the ability of the U.S. and the Soviet Union to dominate the international security environment by means of their global military power. Now the setting within which nuclear weapons exist has been transformed. Now that the Cold War...
