Book excerpt: Addresses the question, where is the world headed, and what are the consequences for U.S. national security (NS) policy? It offers an exam'n. of global trends and their consequences for U.S. interests and policies, by analyzing the critical issues in balanced ways. Because the world is becoming more dangerous, the U.S. will need to continue with an policy of engagement. The future is seen as capable of evolving toward good, or ill, or in between, and it can be influenced by the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. faces a growing challenge to its NS, which will require the nation to retain a high level of defense preparedness, and to review its strategic priorities.

Book excerpt: The past year has seen many thresholds crossed and turning points reached in the international security environment. With events like the NATO intervention in Kosovo, tension between India and Pakistan, more failing states, and rising access to dangerous weapons and delivery systems, the job for Department of Defense planners has not become easier. This volume examines trends, U.S. interests, and consequences for U.S. policy, followed by a net assessment for each key area. The international security situation is clearly changed from 1 year ago. The nebulous multipolar environment has been stressed by forces of polarization in recent months. Yet, transition states still cooperate with the Western democratic core states on important issues. As the world continues the process of transformation, we need to properly assess our priorities. The volume contains the following chapters: Global Political Trends: Integration or Disintegration?; Economic Globalization: Stability or Conflict?; Energy and Resources: Ample or Scarce?; Global Military Balance: Stable or Unstable?; Europe: How Much Utility, How Effective? Russia and its Neighbors: Faltering Progress; Greater Middle East: Managing Change in Troubled Times? Asia-Pacific Region: Murky Future? South Asia: Nuclear Geopolitics? Sub-Saharan Africa: Progress or Drift? The Western Hemisphere: Rethinking Strategic Relations? The Democratic Core: How Large, How Effective? Transition States: New Destinies? Rogue States and Proliferation: How Serious is the Threat? Troubled States: How Troubling, How Manageable? Transnational Trends: New Threats? Conventional Operations and Warfare: A New Era Ahead?. Strategic Forces and Deterrence: New Realities, New Roles? Global Arms Control and Disarmament: Cloudy Prospects? Space and Oceans: Can They Be Controlled?
Download or read book Strategic Assessment in War written by Scott Sigmund Gartner and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do military organizations assess strategic policy in war? In this book Scott Gartner develops a theory to explain how military and government leaders evaluate wartime performance, how much they change strategies in response to this evaluation, and why they are frequently at odds when discussing the success or failure of strategic performance. Blending history, decision theory, and mathematical modeling, Gartner argues that military personnel do reevaluate their strategies and that they measure the performance of a strategy through quantitative, "dominant" indicators. But different actors within a government use different indicators of success: some will see the strategy as succeeding when others see it as failing because of their different dominant indicators. Gartner tests his argument with three case studies: the British shift to convoys in World War I following the German imposition of unrestricted submarine warfare; the lack of change in British naval policy in the Battle of the Atlantic following the German introduction of Wolf Packs in World War II; and the American decision to deescalate in Vietnam after the Tet Offensive. He also tests his approach in a nonwar situation, analyzing the Carter Administration's decision to launch the hostage rescue attempt. In each case, his dominant indicator model better predicts the observed behavior than either a standard-organization or an action-reaction approach.

Book excerpt: This survey is a product of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) 2001 Working Group, a project of the Institute for National Strategic Studies at the National Defense University. Sponsored by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the working group is an independent, honest-broker effort intended to build intellectual capital for the upcoming QDR. More specifically, it aims to frame issues, develop options, and provide insights for the Chairman, the services, and the next administration in three areas: defense strategy, criteria for sizing conventional forces, and force structure for 2005-2010. One of the group's initial tasks was to assess the future security environment to the year 2025. This was pursued by surveying the available literature to identify areas of consensus and debate. The goal was to conduct an assessment that would be far more comprehensive than any single research project or group effort could possibly produce. This survey documents major areas of agreement and disagreement across a range of studies completed since the last QDR in 1997. Because it distills a variety of sources and organizes and compares divergent views, this volume makes a unique contribution to the literature. It also provides a particularly strong set of insights and assumptions on which both strategists and force planners can draw in the next Quadrennial Defense Review. This survey does not claim to predict or illustrate all possible wars that Anmrica might face between now and the year 2025. Rather, it attempts, through analysis of representative and reputable sources, to incorporate the most likely characteristics of the future security environment into a single scenario, while heightening our awareness of dissenting viewpoints and plausible wild cards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Alex Battler questions the assertion of Russia’s status as a great power in the acuminate form. The author reveals the contradictions between Russia’s real modern potential and its foreign policy objectives formulated by official Moscow. The author has formulated laws on the Pole, the Center of Power, and Force. Battler introduces some new concepts of the Theory of International Relations: The Foreign Policy Potential of the State and The Law on the Optimal Balance Between the Costs of Domestic and Foreign Policy. On almost all problems raised by the author, his views do not coincide with generally accepted interpretations and approaches. The second extended edition of the book “The Twenty-First Century: The World Without Russia” includes updated copyright and newly added parts and paragraphs.
