Countering Irregular Activity in Civil War Arkansas
ISBN: 9781505337372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Civil War Arkansas endured many forms of irregular or guerilla warfare including activity that approached insurgency. It was a complex arena that resembles the present day and it illustrates much of contemporary counterinsurgency doctrine. Arkansas was a Southern state with a significant Unionist population and this divide fueled and shaped much of the conflict. Arkansas was unique in that the Confederate commander seeking to make up for conventional weakness, initiated guerilla warfare directed at Union forces. In response, Union commanders who were merely to protect lines of communication...

America's Targeted Killing Policy: Is it Right? Is it Working?
ISBN: 9781502972651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The U.S. employs the practice of targeted killing as part of a multi-pronged approach to defeat Al-Qaeda and other terrorists. Targeted killing has increasingly become the weapon of choice, has caused notable collateral damage and civilian casualties, and has garnered a healthy measure of controversy. Questions swarm regarding the policy's legality, justness, and efficacy. A reasonable examination of international law and contemporary just war theory shows that a measured practice of targeted killing can be morally just and legal. However, eleven years later, the policy's effectiveness at...

"Worthy of His Sufferings": How Strategic Leaders Learned from Failure
ISBN: 9781503003149 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 36 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. History provides numerous examples of leaders who failed at some point in their career, yet went on to become great leaders. Their example demonstrates that experiencing failure does not necessarily equate to failed leadership - leaders can and do recover from failure to become better leaders. But how does this occur? How does a leader turn the psychological trauma of failure into an important learning experience that leads to personal growth? What leadership characteristics and actions are most important in recovering from a leadership failure? This paper examines these questions along...

Georgia's Brightest Future Includes Russia
ISBN: 9781500453619 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the government of Georgia continues its quest for modernization, and as it aspires to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union, it must first normalize relations with the Russian Federation before it can achieve these long-term goals. The nation must consider a patient short and medium-term policy of non-alignment versus an aggressive policy of immediate Western integration. This will be the most effective path for Georgia to improve the lives of its citizens, while ensuring physical security along its borders, which is arguably tenuous. The animosity between the...

Generations of American society have been effected by decades of negative societal conditioning. The country is no longer the virtuous society that once served as the example for global democratization and the free market economy. America is an often copied culture by other global societies, and its decreased societal belief in values, ethics, and morals ends up manifesting into other cultures around the world. American society used to be held as the beacon of light that others risked their lives for while seeking change from oppressed governments. That is no longer a truth. Negative societal...

State Collapse, Insurgency, and Counterinsurgency: Lessons from Somalia
ISBN: 9781502774248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For more than 2 decades, Somalia has been the prime example of a collapsed state, thus far resisting no fewer than 15 attempts to reconstitute a central government, while the 16th such undertaking, the current internationally-backed but struggling regime of the "Federal Republic of Somalia," just barely maintains a token presence in the capital and along the southeastern littoral-and that due only to the presence of a more than 17,000-strong African Union peacekeeping force. In fact, for much of the period, insurgents spearheaded by the Harakat al-Shabaab al-Mujahideen (Movement of Warrior...

Self-Inflicted Wounds: Russia's Failed Chechen and North Caucasus Policy
ISBN: 9781503186231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Chechnya declared its independence during the chaos of the dissolution of the USSR and the emergence of Russia in 1991. Chechen independence threatened Russia's territorial integrity however, resulting in two wars between Russia and Chechen rebels that lay waste to Chechnya and killed an estimated 100,000 people. Russia's harsh methods during both wars resulted in reprisal attacks on Russian targets, instability in Chechnya, and a widening insurgency in the North Caucasus. The Kremlin's response to each successive attack has been the use of force and population control measures against its...

Responding to Strategic and Organizational Uncertainty: Developing Army Leaders "after Iraq and Afghanistan"
ISBN: 9781503209039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This analysis suggests the current Army strategic leadership competencies are necessary but insufficient. Today's Army leaders constitute the most "combat-experienced force" fielded in recent memory; however, much of this experience reflects a decade of experience in counterinsurgency that may only be partially relevant for other uncertain strategic challenges. In addition, a combination of pressing and complex factors of organizational uncertainty complicates today's efforts in developing leaders, and more importantly, limits leaders from achieving their strategic potential. This paper...

Joint Task Force - Guantanamo Bay, Cuba: Open or Close?
ISBN: 9781503268678 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. On 22 January 2009, President Obama issued an executive order calling for the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (GTMO), detention facility to be closed within one year. The President had been sworn in just a few days before. He immediately launched an ambitious agenda, ranging from health care reform to passing a massive financial package to stimulate a struggling economy. Still, the decision to close GTMO was a top priority; so the executive order to close it was one of President Obama's first acts in office. It has been four years since President Obama signed that executive order directing the closure...

For-Profit Colleges and the GI Bill: A Worthwhile Investment?
ISBN: 9781500453534 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 26 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The proliferation of for-profit colleges and questions about their recruiting tactics and program quality has caused concern among educators and legislators for quite some time. This issue has also been a concern within military and veteran communities because of the number of servicemembers and veterans who choose to use their tuition assistance or GI Bill benefits at for-profit colleges. The enactment of the Post 9/11 GI Bill has made this a more urgent problem for two reasons. First, a larger number of servicemembers and veterans are using these benefits at for-profit colleges. Second, as...
