America's Targeted Killing Policy: Is it Right? Is it Working?
ISBN: 9781502972651 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

ISBN: 9781500458294 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 28 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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...

Based on this examination there are many parallels American planners could have considered that may have prevented the development of the insurgency in Iraq in...

Responding to Strategic and Organizational Uncertainty: Developing Army Leaders "after Iraq and Afghanistan"
ISBN: 9781503209039 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

In 1991 anarchy ensued after his expulsion and since then Somalia has been in a protracted conflict for over twenty four years with a lack of proper institutions for governance and the political capacity to function as a state.

Central Asia After 2014
ISBN: 9781502945921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The research collected here was presented at the Fourth annual Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) conference on Russia in May 2012. They focus largely, though not exclusively, on the interactions of the great powers in, about, and around Central Asia. That said, it is imperative that anyone trying to make sense of the complex situation in Central Asia remember that the contemporary or new great game is not played upon a chessboard of inert Central Asian subjects, as was the case in Kipling's time. Today the Central Asian states are all active subjects, as well as objects of international...

Ending the Military's Counternarcotics Mission
ISBN: 9781502590251 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 30 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The US "War on Drugs" was introduced to the US public. The US military had worked with other countries combating illicit narcotics production and trafficking before that time. President Bush's February 1989 primetime speech, however, marked a shift that would lead to billions of taxpayer dollars being spent by the Department of Defense in its counternarcotics mission, named a national priority by then-President Bush and every US President since then. This book will question the results of the US military's counternarcotics effort and propose that in today's constrained fiscal environment,...

Georgia's Brightest Future Includes Russia
ISBN: 9781500453619 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 38 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

The Army must prepare its units to employ Full Spectrum Operations (FSO) competencies as part of the Joint Force 2020 in order to generate the desired strategic effects that "prevent" adversaries from escalating conflicts, "shape" the international environment, and, where challenged, "win" decisively and dominantly across the range of conflicts.

This paper traces the NTC's evolution, analyses the strategic security landscape from present to 2020, and makes...

Self-Inflicted Wounds: Russia's Failed Chechen and North Caucasus Policy
ISBN: 9781503186231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

ISBN: 9781503003170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 40 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In mid-2009 the Armed Forces of the Philippines dramatically changed their strategic approach to countering multiple long-standing insurgencies within the Philippine archipelago. The foundation of that approach was nationally articulated in the Internal Peace and Security Plan "Bayanihan," clearly outlining the government's overall framework for peace, as well as the two key tenets that reflected the change in policy. Although this change represented a paradigm shift and was focused, mostly for public consumption, on winning the peace, the tenets of protecting the population and whole of...
