Today we continue to face an uncertain, complicated and rapidly changing international security environment. At the same time, the Army has been asked to rapidly draw down force levels, in light of domestic fiscal challenges. In the face of continuing international tensions and budget austerity, the Armys greatest challenge is to provide steadfast support to worldwide operational commitments, to include Afghanistan, while simultaneously preparing a smaller force to conduct a wider array of security missions to counter present and future threats. We are committed to ensure the U.S. Army...

The Soviet empire has collapsed, and shots are fired at a Russian crowd intent on rushing a nuclear weapons-laden plane straining to remove a stash of nuclear weapons to a safer locale.

Established by Peter the Great in 1722, the Flotilla was a key component of the Russian Empires expansion into the Caspian region, and nearly 300 years later, it remains a vital element of continued Russian influence in its "south."

Stepping Up: Burden Sharing by Nato's Newest Members
ISBN: 9781312846548 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Burden sharing is back. Indeed many observers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Alliance would claim that it never went away. This is because, from its inception in 1949, NATO has never been an alliance of equals. The United States has always made the overwhelmingly larger contribution, not only for the defense of Europe under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, but also in the numerous operations that the Alliance has carried out beyond Europe since the end of the Cold War. At one stage in the late-1950s, the United States had nearly 400,000 troops and 7,000 nuclear weapons deployed...

ISBN: 9781312846814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This monograph focuses upon "regional alignment," viewed by many as critical if the Army is to remain both relevant and effective in the 21st century security environment. Despite its title, the monograph is part of the Strategic Studies Institutes ongoing "talent management" series. In fact, the authors argue that world class talent management is a necessary pre-condition to creating an effective regional alignment strategy for the Army. They identify several serious challenges to creating a workable regional alignment of Army units, most of which hinge upon understanding and liberating the...

Russia is once again at the front and center of the security agenda of the United States.

The war in Ukraine and Russia's intervention in Syria, combined with its extensive program of exercising for war, lends policy urgency to this debate. In this Letort Paper, Dr. Andrew Monaghan, a Brit¬ish academic and long-term scholar of Russia...

Moving Beyond Pretense: Nuclear Power and Nonproliferation
ISBN: 9781515376774 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 524 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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. Looking at the way government and industry officials downplay the risks of civilian nuclear technology and materials being diverted to make bombs, though, a person would get almost the opposite im-pression. 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...

The Role of Leadership in Transitional States: The Cases of Lebanon, Israel-Palestine
ISBN: 9781505584448 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 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...

Nuclear Weapons Materials Gone Missing: What Does History Teach?
ISBN: 9781505563535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 2009, the President of the United States spotlighted nuclear terrorism as one of the top threats to international security and launched an international effort to identify, secure, and dispose of global stocks of weapons-usable nuclear materials-namely highly enriched uranium and weapons-grade plutonium. Since that time, three nuclear security summits have been held, along with scores of studies and workshops (official and unofficial), drawing sustained high-level attention to the threat posed by these materials. However, little attention has been given to incidences where sensitive...

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. 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...

Cyberterrorism After Stuxnet
ISBN: 9781505874587 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Terrorists are known to use the Internet for communications, planning, recruitment, propaganda, and reconnaissance. They have shown interest in carrying out cyberattacks on U.S. critical infrastructures, although no such serious attacks are known publicly to have occurred. 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...

The current international security environment is characterized by unprecedented uncertainty. In the Asia-Pacific, our allies adjust to China's rise and hedge against instability coming from North Korea. In the greater Middle East, the Syrian civil war draws in powerful state and nonstate actors, Iran's weapons program worries its neighbors, the Arab Spring continues its uncertain course, and we see a growing Sunni-Shia split throughout the region. In Europe, the need for a strong North Atlantic Treaty Organization alliance has become clear as nations along Russia's periphery reevaluate their...

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. This requires a whole new approach to warfare supported by additional skill sets, many of which are not currently readily or widely available within the military. 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...
