ISBN: 9781312844490 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Russia and the Caspian Sea: Projecting Power or Competing for Influence?
ISBN: 9781312844438 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 99 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In November 2012, Russias Caspian Flotilla celebrated its 290th anniversary. 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." The Russian Ministry of Defense (MOD) describes the Caspian Flotilla as "not only the southernmost outpost of Russia, but also the guarantor of the integrity of maritime boundaries and the most important foreign policy tool of the state in the Caspian Sea."1 The Flotilla has recovered...

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...

A "New" Dynamic in the Western Hemisphere Security Environment: The Mexican Zetas and the Other Private Armies
ISBN: 9781500414375 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 50 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A new and dangerous dynamic has been introduced into the Mexican internal security environment. That new dynamic involves the migration of power from traditional state and nonstate adversaries to nontraditional nonstate private military organizations such as the Zetas, enforcer gangs like the Aztecas, Negros, and Polones, and paramilitary triggermen. Moreover, the actions of these irregular nonstate actors tend to be more political-psychological than military, and further move the threat from hard power to soft power solutions. In this connection, we examine the macro "what, why, who, how,...

Creating an Effective Regional Alignment Strategy for the U.S. Army
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...

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 topic of homeland security includes a broad array of missions and mission areas ranging from national missile defense to military assistance to civil authorities. Recently the topic has attracted a great deal of attention due to the publics heightened awareness of the variety and nature of emerging threats and of the United States vulnerabilities to them. This monograph, written by Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J.

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...

Female Suicide Bombers
ISBN: 9781505988215 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Suicide bombers are today's weapon of choice. Terrorists are using suicide bombers because they are a low cost, low technology, and low risk weapon. Suicide bombers are readily available, require little training, leave no trace behind, and strike fear into the general population. The success of suicide bombers depends upon an element of surprise, as well as accessibility to targeted areas or populations. Both of these required elements have been enjoyed by women suicide bombers. Female suicide bombers were used in the past; however, the recent spate of them in different venues, in different...

European Missile Defense and Russia
ISBN: 9781505887112 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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. 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...

Most of the papers included in this volume, except for the editor's introduction, come from the conference on Visual Propaganda and Online Radicalization hosted in 2012 by Georgia State University in conjunction with the U.S. Army War College.

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. 13-18 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...

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...

The U.S. - India Relationships: Cross-Sector Collaboration to Promote Sustainable Development
ISBN: 9781505887419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 532 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 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...
