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.

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... |

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....

Conflict Termination in Europe: Games Against War
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.

Nuclear Weapons in the Information Age
ISBN: 9781441181978 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In today's information age, the coexistence of nuclear weapons with advanced conventional weapons and information-based concepts of warfare is a military contradiction. Nuclear deterrence was initially predicated on geopolitical, military, and technical assumptions. These were based on Cold War politics, rational deterrence theory, the concept of mutual vulnerability, and the fact that information and technology diffusion were limited. Today, however, far from being obsolete, nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction have not only survived, but have become weapons for states that...

Multinational Military Intervention: NATO Policy, Strategy and Burden Sharing
ISBN: 9781409402282 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War, as Clausewitz reminds, is the most uncertain of human political and social activities. It also imposes burdens. In an alliance among states for the promotion of collective defense or security, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), burdens have to be shared. This study looks at the experience of the United States and other member states of NATO in four situations of multinational military intervention - Lebanon, the Persian Gulf, the Balkans, and South Asia - and considers the implications of nuclear arms reductions and nonproliferation for the US and NATO. Each case...

Nuclear Endings: Stopping War on Time
ISBN: 9780275931650 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. If a nuclear war between American and Soviet forces or the forces of their allies were to start, how would it end? This soberting analysis, one of the few published treatments of War termination, identifies the policies and strategic issues involved in the attempt to control and end a nuclear war should one ever start. The author presents both a comprehensive overview of the theory of war termination and a broad-based analysis of the specific aspects of the question. Throughout, the aim is to provide policymakers and students of military strategy with a tool for improved strategic war...

Coercive Military Strategy
ISBN: 9780890968369 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Coercion is persuasion supported by the threat or use of force. Just as warfare is often "diplomacy carried out by other means," coercion--the threat of combat or the threat of an escalation in the intensity of combat--is a more subtle method of dispute that shades the spectrum between diplomacy and warfare. Understanding of coercive military strategy is a prerequisite to the successful making of either policy or war.
In "Coercive Military Strategy, " Stephen J. Cimbala shows that coercive military strategy is a necessary part of any diplomatic-strategic recipe for success. Few wars are...

Conflict Termination and Military Strategy: Coercion, Persuasion, and War
ISBN: 9780367011635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although considerable attention has been paid to deterrence theory and crisis management, the equally important topic of ending wars has been virtually ignored. Conflict termination is the stepchild of U.S. strategy for a number of reasons. Thinking about how wars should end presupposes acceptance of the fact that war—especially nuclear war— is possible. Further, analyzing options for ending conflicts implies less-than-total victory, a concept that not only runs counter to the U.S. approach to warfare but also raises the specter of “limited war,†an approach that fell into...

Thought to have been marginalized by the end of the Cold War, nuclear weapons have returned to the center of U.S. security concerns. As North Korea have removed the veil of uncertainty by public acknowledgment of its nuclear weapons and Iran is thought to seeks a nuclear weapons capability, fears that rogue states and non-state actors might acquire and use nuclear weapons are a new reality.

A New Nuclear Century: Strategic Stability and Arms Control
ISBN: 9780275970611 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cimbala and Scouras examine the issues related to the control of nuclear weapons in the early 21st century. These issues are both technical and policy oriented; science and values are commingled. This means that arguments about nuclear strategy, arms control, and proliferation are apt to be contentious and confusing. The authors seek to provide readers with a fuller, more accurate understanding of the issues involved. They begin by analyzing the crazy mathematics of nuclear arms races and arms control that preoccupied analysts and policymakers during the Cold War. After examining...

Arms for Uncertainty: Nuclear Weapons in US and Russian Security Policy
ISBN: 9781472409850 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nuclear weapons are here to stay. They have survived into the twenty-first century as instruments of influence for the US, Russia, and other major military powers. But, unlike the Cold War era, future nuclear forces will be developed and deployed within a digital-driven world of enhanced conventional weapons. As such, established nuclear powers will have smaller numbers of nuclear weapons for the purpose of deterrence working in parallel with smarter conventional weapons and elite military personnel. The challenge is to agree proportional reductions in nuclear inventories or abstinence...

This study establishes that the political, economic and military-technological changes that transform the international system also alter the way in which a state views its and others' responsibilities and burdens for responding to international crises. It assesses the distribution of the costs of raising and supporting arms of service, the risks of deploying them overseas and using them in combat or peace operations, and the extent to which members have a responsibility for maintaining international order in the context of three instances of multinational military intervention: the...

The George W. Bush Defense Program: Policy, Strategy, and War
ISBN: 9781597975087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The events of 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan make an obvious case for expert study of the George W. Bush defense program. During the Bush administration, the rise and fall of governments, the fates of peoples, and the very definitions of -war- and -victory- were up for discussion. The United States, with its unprecedented global military power at the dawn of the twenty-first century, created new opportunities for using foreign policy and military strategy on behalf of national and allied interests. But this power was limited, and its use against unconventional or otherwise...
