Do Fewer Resources Mean Less Influence? A Comparative Historical Case Study of Military Influence in A Time of Austerity
ISBN: 9781312893580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, military
planners speak at great length about the importance of rebalancing our armed forces. As a result of the Budget Control Act of 2011, our U.S. Armed Forces have absorbed significant budget cuts, which are projected to continue into 2016. Not surprisingly, a major theme of the Quadrennial Defense Review is the necessity of making tough choices in a period of fiscal austerity.1 As Dr. Manjikians analysis points out, however, many of the themes raised by policymakers, military analysts and the general public in relation to this new politics of...

The Role of Leadership In Transitional States: The Cases Of Lebanon, Israel-Palestine
ISBN: 9781312846531 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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? However, this decision is contextual, and a state must know what is its own foreign policy. 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: 9781312844346 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 534 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 todays 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...

Government Contracting Should Be A Core Competence for U.S. Military Personnel
ISBN: 9781312846838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan mark an era of unprecedented outsourcing in contingency operations. Although signiicant outsourcing occurred in prior wars, never has the scale been so large for so long. Counterintuitively, as outsourcing increased, the number of government acquisition personnel decreased. This led to waste, fraud, and abuse. The Commission on Wartime Contracting made several indings and recommendations to prevent future contract administration problems in contingency operations. A principal concern is that the U.S. military needs to increase the number of acquisition...

ISBN: 9781312846562 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once sealed off from the rest of the world during the Soviet times, the states of Central Asia today are rapidly integrating with the global economy. The opening up of China in the 1980s, the demise of the Soviet Union a decade later, and the ongoing globalization have all served as grand forces facilitating this highly monumental development. The U.S. regional military involvement after September 11, 2001, and engagement by other actors have further enabled these countries to reconnect with the world, this time as sovereign units. Today, more than 2 decades after they gained their...

A New Type of Great Power Relationship Between The United States and China: The Military Dimension
ISBN: 9781312844384 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For the United States and its allies and partners around the world, the debate about the pivot or rebalancing of American interests toward the Asia-Pacific Region is crucial. The United States has to ensure that allies and partners in other areas do not feel neglected or disadvantaged by the possible consequences of this initiative. To a large extent, this will depend not merely on how that initiative is presented, but also on the nature of the relationship between the United States and China. The more tense that relationship, and the more competitive rather than cooperative it is, the...

The Armys Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis published a series of monographs that were intended to provide a theoretical and conceptual framework for the development of an Army Officer Corps Strategy.

China-Russia Security Relations: Strategic Parallelism Without Partnership Or Passion?
ISBN: 9781312285354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Chinese-Russian security relations directly concern many subjects of interest to the Strategic Studies Institute. These areas include regional conflicts, nonproliferation issues, and military force balances. Given the importance of these two countries in international affairs, however, almost any foreign policy action of their governments affects some American national interest. For almost 2 decades, China and Russia have been strengthening their security ties. Nonetheless, as this monograph makes clear, the relationship between Beijing and Moscow remains in flux. In some cases, they share...

Russia's Prospects in Asia
ISBN: 9781780395241 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. These three chapters originated in an SSI conference in January 2010 and go to the heart of a question of vital significance for both Asia and Russia, namely what are Russias prospects in Asia. The three chapters outline the challenges Russia faces in Asia, the nature of the dynamic and complex Asian security environment, and the extent to which Russia is or is not meeting those challenges. These chapters represent both Russian and U.S. views and clearly do not agree in their conclusions or analyses. For this reason, they are all the more interesting. These chapters should provoke debate,...

The Effective Use of Reserve Personnel In The U.S. Military: Lessons from The United Kingdom Reserve Model
ISBN: 9781312893511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The U.S. Army and the British Army are undergoing
similar processes of rebalancing between regular and reserve personnel. The British armed forces are currently at a more advanced stage of this change than the United States, and consequently there are useful lessons to be drawn from their experience to date. This is particularly the case in a time of growing defense austerity; in addition to their smaller scale, the United Kingdoms (UK) armed forces have great familiarity with undertaking missions and maintaining close to full-spectrum capability while subject to severe and apparently...

Re-Examining The Roles of Landpower in The 21st Century and Their Implications
ISBN: 9781312846616 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Much has happened in the 16 years since this author penned a monograph entitled Redefining Land Power for the 21st Century. The United States suffered the tragedies of September 11, 2001, the first attack of a wave of large-scale extremist terrorist activities that have scourged the globe from London to Bali to Madrid to Mumbai to Nairobi and beyond. The invasion and subsequent counterinsurgency campaigns in Iraq and the ebbing war in Afghanistan have significantly engaged U.S. military power, especially Landpower, for over a decade. The ongoing volatility of the international security...

Tribal Militias: An Effective Tool To Counter Al-Qaida and Its Affiliates?
ISBN: 9781312844834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most of the local societies in which Al-Qaida and its affiliates and offshoots operate in the Middle East and Africa have a predominantly tribal or at least have a strong tribal component (Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Mali, and Sinai). Countering Al-Qaidas continuing presence, therefore, requires addressing the tribal milieu and understanding Al-Qaidas critical vulnerabilities when it operates in tribal societies. In this context, the capability that tribally-based militias provide may be one of the most effective tools against Al-Qaida, and may offer a cost-effective mechanism serving...

Political and Socio-Economic Change: Revolutions and Their Implications for The U.S. Military
ISBN: 9781312844391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Significant political, economic, and social change can dramatically impact the international security environment and hence U.S. security. For example, the revolutions that have unfolded across the Middle East and North Africa over the last several years have impacted American interests such as the security of Israel and the spread of democracy. Likewise, the less "revolutionary" but equally impactful changes that have unfolded across Latin America over the last 15 years have affected American interests such as free and open trade and access to reliable energy sources. In response to these...

Taking The Fight To The Enemy: Chinese Thinking About Long-Distance And Expeditionary Operations
ISBN: 9781365522079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) was once focused on China's immediate periphery. The PLA Navy had no "blue water" naval capabilities and very limited combat logistics support. The Air Force could not fly long-distance missions overwater or operate effectively in conjunction with the Navy or naval air forces; nor could it coordinate joint, precision strikes with the missiles of the Second Artillery. Land forces, meanwhile, could move effectively within China by rail, and could operate on China's periphery, but were neither capable of nor equipped for long-distance force projection....

Since U.S. operations began in Iraq in 2003, the Iraqi armed forces have embarked on a huge transformation. In this groundbreaking monograph, Dr. Florence Gaub focuses on the structural and sociological aspects of rebuilding the Iraqi armed forces, which she observes and comments on through the lens of lessons learned from Lebanon's experience of rebuilding its own armed forces in the late 20th century following civil war.

A New Type of Great Power Relationship between the United States and China: The Military Dimension
ISBN: 9781505887853 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The relative rise of China is likely to lead a major shift in the world's strategic architecture, which the United States will need to accommodate. For the outcome to be generally beneficial, China needs to be dissuaded from hegemonic aspirations and retained as a cooperative partner in the world system. This will require a range of potentially conflicting thrusts in U.S. policy. Since the Asia-Pacific Region is primarily a maritime theater, the U.S. Navy, Marines, and Air Force will need to play a leading role. The U.S. Army, nonetheless, will have a substantial supporting and facilitating...

Russia's Contribution As A Partner In The War On Terrorism
ISBN: 9781312392779 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Russias seizure of Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014 underscored the vast differences between the world views of Russia and the United States. Yet these differences notwithstanding, Russia and the United States do share key security challenges. One of these is terrorism. The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, saw the attendance of a significant number of highprofile U.S. citizens at an event explicitly threatened by Islamic insurgents. This was seen to provide a prime opportunity for the two nations to foster meaningful cooperation against a common threat. Yet, the extent of joint work in...
