The Effective Use of Reserve Personnel in the U.S. Military: Lessons from the United Kingdom Reserve Model
ISBN: 9781507646083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 62 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Female Suicide Bombers
ISBN: 9781505988215 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Suicide bombers are today's weapon of choice.

Cyberterrorism After Stuxnet
ISBN: 9781505874587 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 42 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Strategic Implications of the Evolving Shanghai Cooperation Organization
ISBN: 9781505875041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...

The U.S. - India Relationships: Cross-Sector Collaboration to Promote Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9781505887419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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 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: 9781505563450 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the war in Afghanistan draws to a close, the U.S. Army is increasingly focused upon "regionally aligning" its forces. To do so effectively, however, it must undertake several initiatives. First, the Army must acknowledge and liberate the unique productive capabilities (talents) of each individual. Second, it must shift from process-oriented, industrial age personnel management to productivity-focused, information age talent management. Third, the Army must foster en-during human relationships between its organizations and the governments, militaries, and populations to which they are...

Regionalizing East Mediterranean Gas: Energy Security, Stability, and the U.S. Role
ISBN: 9781505901832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The East Mediterranean has been witnessing an unparalleled natural resource boom since the late-2000s, when Israel, followed by Cyprus, made its first significant offshore hydrocarbon discoveries in many years. These discoveries have since proven to be substantially larger than any other resources previously explored in the East Mediterranean Sea. A 2010 U.S. Geological Survey suggests the Levant basin-the area including Cyprus and Israel's offshore zones, and the offshore and some onshore territories of Syria, Lebanon, and the Palestinian Territories-could hold as many as 1.7 billion barrels...

Tribal Militias: An Effective Tool to Counter Al-Qaida and Its Affiliates?
ISBN: 9781505585353 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book addresses the role of tribal militias in the context of the fight against Al-Qaida. The intent is to enrich policy analysis and clarify options for future operations by focusing on past experience in order to identify the positive and negative aspects related to the use of such militias. The focus in this book is on Iraq and Yemen. However, many of the lessons learned may be applied more broadly. The thesis is that the capabilities which tribally-based militias provide may be one of the most efficient, cost-effective tools against Al-Qaida. In some cases, such militias can act as a...

Russia's Contribution as a Partner in the War on Terrorism
ISBN: 9781505874976 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Until the end of the Cold War, terrorism was a phenomenon practically unknown in the Soviet Union. The chaotic disappearance of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) resulted, among other developments, in two wars in North Caucasus and subsequent waves of terrorism in the region and terrorist attacks in Moscow. The demise of the USSR also weakened the organizations responsible for the security and law and order of Russia-a phenomenon rarely understood in the West. Russia and the United States are the priority targets for many radical Islamic groups. The two countries should be able,...

President Enrique Pena Nieto has tried to divert national attention from the bloodshed through reforms in energy, education, anti-hunger, health care, and other areas. Even though the death rate has...

Central Asia's Shrinking Connectivity Gap: Implications for U.S. Strategy
ISBN: 9781505563962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...
