Download or read book Making Strategy written by Dennis M. Drew and published by . This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National secuirty strategy is a vast subject involving a daunting array of interrelated subelements woven in intricate, sometimes vague, and ever-changing patterns. Its processes are often irregular and confusing and are always based on difficult decisions laden with serious risks. In short, it is a subject understood by few and confusing to most. It is, at the same time, a subject of overwhelming importance to the fate of the United States and civilization itself. Col. Dennis M. Drew and Dr. Donald M. Snow have done a considerable service by drawing together many of the diverse threads of national security strategy into a coherent whole. They consider political and military strategy elements as part of a larger decisionmaking process influenced by economic, technological, cultural, and historical factors. I know of no other recent volume that addresses the entire national security milieu in such a logical manner and yet also manages to address current concerns so thoroughly. It is equally remarkable that they have addressed so many contentious problems in such an evenhanded manner. Although the title suggests that this is an introductory volume - and it is - I am convinced that experienced practitioners in the field of national security strategy would benefit greatly from a close examination of this excellent book.

Download or read book Decision Time written by Malcolm Chalmers and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The government has decided that the defense elements of the National Security Capability Review (NSCR), under way since July 2017, will be the subject of a further review (the 'Modernising Defence Programme' (MDP)), which is expected to reach its conclusions by the summer of 2018. Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has made clear that his 'hope' is that the MDP will be published before the House of Commons rises for the summer recess in July 2018. In the 2015 Spending Review, defence was protected from the cuts being made in most other government departments, and spending is due to be 5% higher in real terms in 2020/21 than in 2015/16 ... Yet the 2015 SDSR, held at the same time as the Spending Review, made more commitments than the Ministry of Defence (MoD) could afford from this 5% real -terms increase. As a result, and in the absence of additional resources, the NSCR was set to announce significant net cuts in the MoD's forward programme. Public discussion of the NSCR has been dominated by prolonged, and well-sourced, speculation that these would include reductions in amphibious capability, army personnel numbers and other areas. Significant delay in concluding the MDP risks damaging consequences for the country's international credibility, especially if it has not been concluded before the NATO summit in July 2018. The period up to October 2018 is also a crucial time for the negotiation of a new defense and security partnership with the EU. The MDP will have four strands of work. It will work to 'optimise how the MoD is organised and is operating.' It will 'identify further efficiencies ... including through an aggressive programme of business modernisation.' It will 'improve our performance on the commercial and industrial issues.' Finally it will examine the capabilities that defence contributes to national security, and will 'move quickly to strengthen further or capabilities in priority areas and reduce the resources we devote elsewhere.' The MDP will need to consider some of the following: Maintaining capabilities able to respond to possible conflict on at lease two fronts ... An increased focus on the new technologies, capabilities and doctrines ... Additional resources for the renumeration packages and employment flexibility that will be needed to attract the best people into defence ... Rescheduling selected major procurement programmes ... [and] a readiness to cut back on lower-priority capabilities"--Executive summary.

Download or read book Defence Diplomacy and National Security Strategy written by Ian Liebenberg and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post-cold war era presented security challenges that at one level are a continuation of the cold war era; at another level, these phenomena manifested in new forms. Whether the issues of economics and trade, transfer of technologies, challenges of intervention, or humanitarian crisis, the countries of the South (previously pejoratively labelled “Third World” or “developing” countries) have continued to address these challenges within the framework of their capabilities and concerns. The volume explores defence diplomacies, national security challenges and strategies, dynamics of diplomatic manoeuvers and strategic resource management of Latin American, southern African and Asian countries.
Download or read book The NSA Report written by President's Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies, The and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-31 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official report that has shaped the international debate about NSA surveillance "We cannot discount the risk, in light of the lessons of our own history, that at some point in the future, high-level government officials will decide that this massive database of extraordinarily sensitive private information is there for the plucking. Americans must never make the mistake of wholly 'trusting' our public officials."—The NSA Report This is the official report that is helping shape the international debate about the unprecedented surveillance activities of the National Security Agency. Commissioned by President Obama following disclosures by former NSA contractor Edward J. Snowden, and written by a preeminent group of intelligence and legal experts, the report examines the extent of NSA programs and calls for dozens of urgent and practical reforms. The result is a blueprint showing how the government can reaffirm its commitment to privacy and civil liberties—without compromising national security.
Download or read book Climate and Social Stress written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change can reasonably be expected to increase the frequency and intensity of a variety of potentially disruptive environmental events-slowly at first, but then more quickly. It is prudent to expect to be surprised by the way in which these events may cascade, or have far-reaching effects. During the coming decade, certain climate-related events will produce consequences that exceed the capacity of the affected societies or global systems to manage; these may have global security implications. Although focused on events outside the United States, Climate and Social Stress: Implications for Security Analysis recommends a range of research and policy actions to create a whole-of-government approach to increasing understanding of complex and contingent connections between climate and security, and to inform choices about adapting to and reducing vulnerability to climate change.

This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national security strategy of the United Kingdom is to use all national capabilities to build Britain's prosperity, extend the country's influence in the world and strengthen security. The National Security Council ensures a strategic and co-ordinated approach across the whole of Government to the risks and opportunities the country faces. Parts 1 and 2 of this document outline the Government's analysis of the strategic global context and give an assessment of the UK's place in the world. They also set out the core objectives of the strategy: (i) ensuring a secure and resilient UK by protecting the country from all major risks that can affect us directly, and (ii) shaping a stable world - actions beyond the UK to reduce specific risks to the country or our direct interests overseas. Part 3 identifies and analyses the key security risks the country is likely to face in the future. The National Security Council has prioritised the risks and the current highest priority are: international terrorism; cyber attack; international military crises; and major accidents or natural hazards. Part 4 describes the ways in which the strategy to prevent and mitigate the specific risks will be achieved. The detailed means to achieve these ends will be set out in the Strategic Defence and Security Review (Cm. 7948, ISBN 9780101794824), due to publish on 19 October 2010.

Download or read book Science and Technology Support for National Security written by Richard Nunes Vaz and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical review of open source literature enables comparison of the US, UK and Canadian approaches to the development, coordination and harnessing of science and technology for national (or homeland) security, and the relative roles of Defence and non-Defence S & T providers. The review was undertaken to inform the S & T Companion Review to the Defence White Paper, and to provide insights relevant to Australian arrangements. The analysis shows that there is: increasing effort to improve the alignment and consistency of policies and strategies relating to national security and related science and technology; growing acknowledgement of the critical national role of niche Defence S & T capabilities; greater strategic coordination of national security capability management supported by national security S & T providers, including Defence; growing recognition of the need to overcome departmental stovepipes, particularly the military/civilian divide; growing use of programmatic (or problem-based) approaches to funding, development, management and exploitation of S & T in national security; and an increasing focus on cross-Departmental collaboration, information sharing, and the promotion of enduring S & T 'communities of practice'.
