Military Persuasion in War and Policy: The Power of Soft
ISBN: 9780275978037 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cimbala analyzes military persuasion--the art of using armed force to support diplomacy, deterrence, crisis management, unconventional conflicts, peace operations, and other military activities short of major conventional war. As he shows, military persuasion requires that policy makers and diplomats understand the subtle interaction between force and diplomacy; each supports, or destroys, the other, depending upon the situation. Even conventional wars have aspects of armed persuasion. The Powell doctrine that calls for overwhelming force in case of any U.S. military intervention was not...

Nuclear Weapons in the Information Age
ISBN: 9781441181978 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In today's information age, the coexistence of nuclear weapons with advanced conventional weapons and information-based concepts of warfare is a military contradiction. Nuclear deterrence was initially predicated on geopolitical, military, and technical assumptions. These were based on Cold War politics, rational deterrence theory, the concept of mutual vulnerability, and the fact that information and technology diffusion were limited. Today, however, far from being obsolete, nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction have not only survived, but have become weapons for states that...

Multinational Military Intervention: NATO Policy, Strategy and Burden Sharing
ISBN: 9781409402282 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War, as Clausewitz reminds, is the most uncertain of human political and social activities. It also imposes burdens. In an alliance among states for the promotion of collective defense or security, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), burdens have to be shared. This study looks at the experience of the United States and other member states of NATO in four situations of multinational military intervention - Lebanon, the Persian Gulf, the Balkans, and South Asia - and considers the implications of nuclear arms reductions and nonproliferation for the US and NATO. Each case...

The Technology, Strategy, and Politics of SDI
ISBN: 9780367311933 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) to develop a ballistic missile defense (BMD) system has both short-range and long-range risks as well as potential benefits. For the most part, however, strategic, technological, and political issues relevant to SDI have been analyzed in isolation from one another. This book provides a more inclusive framework for assessing the possible development and deployment of a BMD system by the United States or the Soviet Union. Contributors discuss the risks for arms race stability, probable reactions of the Soviet Union to any U.S. space-based defense system,...

Nuclear Endings: Stopping War on Time
ISBN: 9780275931650 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. If a nuclear war between American and Soviet forces or the forces of their allies were to start, how would it end? This soberting analysis, one of the few published treatments of War termination, identifies the policies and strategic issues involved in the attempt to control and end a nuclear war should one ever start. The author presents both a comprehensive overview of the theory of war termination and a broad-based analysis of the specific aspects of the question. Throughout, the aim is to provide policymakers and students of military strategy with a tool for improved strategic war...

Russia and Armed Persuasion
ISBN: 9780742509627 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Russia and Armed Persuasion, Stephen J. Cimbala argues that Russia's war planners and political leaders must make painful adjustments in their thinking about the relationship between military art and policy in the twenty-first century. Russia must master the use of force for persuasion, not just destruction. As the author shows, military persuasion requires that Russian leaders master the politico-military complexity of crisis management, deterrence and arms control, and the limitation of ends and means in war. Russia now has scarce resources to devote to defense and can no longer afford...

Strategic Impasse: Offense, Defense, and Deterrence Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780313265167 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There is probably no area of more crucial concern nor one more subject to possible misunderstanding and riddled with paradox than nuclear weapons and their use, not only in war, but as deterrents to war. In Strategic Impasse, Cimbala examines the critical issues, problems, and paradoxes inherent in the current nuclear situation. It is from a fundamental contradiction--the usefulness of nuclear weapons versus the undesirability of nuclear war--that nuclear deadlock arises. Their usefulness as deterrents is based on their destructive potential and the balance of power in Europe cannot be...

Arms for Uncertainty: Nuclear Weapons in US and Russian Security Policy
ISBN: 9781472409850 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nuclear weapons are here to stay. They have survived into the twenty-first century as instruments of influence for the US, Russia, and other major military powers. But, unlike the Cold War era, future nuclear forces will be developed and deployed within a digital-driven world of enhanced conventional weapons. As such, established nuclear powers will have smaller numbers of nuclear weapons for the purpose of deterrence working in parallel with smarter conventional weapons and elite military personnel. The challenge is to agree proportional reductions in nuclear inventories or abstinence...

The Us, NATO and Military Burden-Sharing
ISBN: 9780415653077 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study establishes that the political, economic and military-technological changes that transform the international system also alter the way in which a state views its and others' responsibilities and burdens for responding to international crises. It assesses the distribution of the costs of raising and supporting arms of service, the risks of deploying them overseas and using them in combat or peace operations, and the extent to which members have a responsibility for maintaining international order in the context of three instances of multinational military intervention: the...

The George W. Bush Defense Program: Policy, Strategy, and War
ISBN: 9781597975087 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The events of 9/11 and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan make an obvious case for expert study of the George W. Bush defense program. During the Bush administration, the rise and fall of governments, the fates of peoples, and the very definitions of -war- and -victory- were up for discussion. The United States, with its unprecedented global military power at the dawn of the twenty-first century, created new opportunities for using foreign policy and military strategy on behalf of national and allied interests. But this power was limited, and its use against unconventional or otherwise...

Force and Diplomacy in the Future
ISBN: 9780275941093 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study is an initial effort to assess the post-Cold War international environment in terms of its implications for the relationship between force and policy. This relationship between force and policy in the future, based on a retrospective look at U.S., allied NATO, and Soviet doctrine strategy is one of uncertain fidelity and potentially destabilizing content. Assuming that informed speculation about the post-Cold War world requires a sense of connection to the historical past, Cimbala sees that issues with which Europe was forced to deal prior to the Second World War will reappear...

The Dead Volcano: The Background and Effects of Nuclear War Complacency
ISBN: 9780275973872 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Cimbala argues that nuclear complacency is based on a misreading of history and on unsound political and military analysis. The stability factors built into the Cold War international system are now missing. The spread of nuclear weapons after the Cold War moved toward regional actors outside of Europe, some with religious or national scores to settle. Technology transfer of ballistic missiles and other delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction, including biological and chemical as well as nuclear weapons, brings the danger of nuclear eruption closer to reality. Finally, the... Cimbala argues that nuclear complacency is based on a misreading of history and on unsound political and military analysis. The stability factors b... |

The New Nuclear Disorder: Challenges to Deterrence and Strategy
ISBN: 9781472455024 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the twenty-first century, the United States confronts an international system of great complexity and shifting security challenges. Among these challenges are those posed by nuclear weapons. Instead of becoming obsolete or being marginalized by the end of the Cold War and the demise of the Soviet Union, nuclear weapons have become more important to present and future international stability and peace but the relationship is paradoxical. On one hand, the spread of nuclear weapons to additional states with unsettled grievances or hegemonic ambitions threatens to destabilize local balances of...

Challenges to Deterrence: Resources, Technology, and Policy
ISBN: 9780275923501 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Challenge to Deterrence" is based on a panel discussion from the 1985 American Political Science Association meeting in New Orleans. In this comprehensive study, eminent scholars address all aspects of U.S. deterrence policy from both technical and policy aspects. Along with discussions on technology currently available to the U.S. and how it can be used more effectively, contributors speculate on Soviet strategic planning and how the U.S. can get allies, such as Japan and Israel, more involved in deterrence activity.
