Moving Beyond Pretense: Nuclear Power and Nonproliferation
ISBN: 9781515376774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The President of the United States and nearly all his critics agree that the spread of nuclear weapons and the possibility of their seizure and potential use is the greatest danger facing the United States and the world.

In fact, most governments have made the promotion of nuclear power's growth and global de-velopment a top priority. Throughout, they have in-sisted that the dangers of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The United States plays a significant role in the Middle East. When dealing with the region, often the dilemma is: should there be a strong or weak regional leadership in order to facilitate a transitional phase?

To promote its national interests in the long term, the United States might have to prioritize the local interests and almost altruistically help the regions overcome their internal divisions and problems. In this book, Dr. Anastasia Filippidou reviews the main leadership theories in order to...

ISBN: 9781507646083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the current age of economic austerity, there is increasing pressure for the military in the United States and the United Kingdom (UK) to be streamlined, so as to be able to deliver more for less cost.

These skills have become even more vital in the current security environment of networked global insecurities. As such, there is a need for the military not only to re-establish lost skills, but to develop new skills to enhance its...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Over the past 2 decades, the global system has been subject to a range of forces which have reconfigured relationships among individuals, organizations, and nation-states. As an aspect of that changing structure and rising interdependence, many security challenges which confront today's strategic leaders are grounded in concerns about economic, social, and environmental sustainability, and, in turn, about political stability. Furthermore, with increasing frequency, many observers are concluding that those types of challenges cannot be addressed by stakeholders from any single sector. That...

ISBN: 9781505875041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Key points from this analysis include: The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is an enduring association which was originally brought together by the short-term border security interests of its first five members. Russia believes it plays a leading role in the SCO; in fact, however, the organization is and always has been driven by China, and Moscow's role is vital but secondary. The other member states, former Central Asian Soviet republics with no history of modern statehood or governance, are not equal partners-but their geostrategic location and, in some cases, natural resources make...

European Missile Defense and Russia
ISBN: 9781505887112 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) When U.S. President Barack Obama cancelled a scheduled September 2013 summit meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, "lack of progress on issues such as missile defense" was cited as the primary justification. Despite widespread and well founded assumption that the real trigger for the cancellation was the Russian decision to offer temporary asylum to Edward Snowden, the citing of missile defense was indicative. The comment marked one of the periodic plateaus of mutual frustration between the United States and Russia over U.S. attitudes to missile defense capability, stemming...

Getting to the Left of Sharp: Lessons Learned from West Point's Effort to Combat Sexual Harassment and Assault
ISBN: 9781507646335 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which ended the practice of segregating the military services by race. That same year, the Army allowed women to join the services on an equal basis with men. Both of these steps preceded (and perhaps helped precipitate) the larger societal changes that allowed fully equal treatment of all types of American citizens in military service. And just over 2 years ago, Congress repealed the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy, allowing for gays and lesbians to take their place openly in the military. West Point fully integrated women...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Terrorists are known to use the Internet for communications, planning, recruitment, propaganda, and reconnaissance.

The discovery of the Stuxnet malware in July 2010, and its analysis over the next several months, was widely believed to have been a landmark event in cybersecurity, because it showed that cyberattacks against industrial control systems, hypothesized for a long time, are actually possible. After Stuxnet, there were public...
