Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buy now to get the main key ideas from Henry Kissinger’s World Order Our world today is persistently, and sometimes almost desperately, searching for a concept of international order. Chaos threatens, along with unprecedented forms of interdependence, as we face the threat of climate change, the spread of weapons of mass destruction and new technologies capable of ending humanity, and the disintegration of states. New means of communicating and accessing information unify regions like never before, but in a way that impedes reflection. Thus, is humanity facing a period in which forces beyond the limits of any order set the foundations of the future? In World Order (2014), foreign policy expert Henry Kissinger seeks answers by delving into the history of world order from Eastern, Middle Eastern, Western, European, and American perspectives, examining the concepts that have shaped the evolution of politics and international interests.

Download or read book Geopolitics for Dummies written by Chris Kanthan and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-04 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a turning point in history when the US won't be the superpower anymore. A multi-polar and a multilateral world is emerging -- China is poised to become an economic superpower, and the center of global power will shift to Asia in the coming years. Russia will be stronger than the USSR ever was. And everyone, especially Americans, need to understand how to face this New World Order 2.0. Geopolitics is more fascinating than any novel or a movie, but unfortunately a vast majority of people stay away from it and the mainstream media reduces it to a Disney version of good versus bad. Geopolitics is a mix of foreign policy, history, geography, culture, economics, wars and more. It involves Machiavellian power struggle as well as cooperative, win-win alliances among nations. Given the importance of geopolitics, one would assume that in a country like America - a superpower with 800 military bases in 144 countries - people will be extremely interested in the subject. We also spend trillions of dollars on perpetual wars and annual military budgets. However, Americans are awfully apathetic and ignorant about geopolitics. This book is aimed at revealing the truths about geopolitics, with special emphasis on US foreign policies, in an easy to understand manner. It will introduce the readers to a new paradigm and will help them understand the world events through a lens that's very different from the mainstream narrative.

Download or read book Flying from the Black Hole written by Robert O Harder and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force navigators and bombardiers have long labored under the shadow of pilots—their contributions undervalued, misunderstood, or simply unknown to the general public. This was especially the case with the non-pilot officer aircrew in the Vietnam and Cold War-era B-52 Stratofortress. Of the six people who operated the bomber, three wore navigator wings—two of those men were also bombardiers, the other an electronic warfare officer. Without the navigator-bombardiers in particular, executing the nuclear war strike plan or flying Southeast Asian conventional bombing sorties would have been impossible. This book reveals who these men were and what they did down in the “Black Hole,” a story told by one of their own.
Download or read book Army Leadership written by Department of the Army and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competent leaders of character are necessary for the Army to meet the challenges in the dangerous and complex security environment we face. As the keystone leadership manual for the United States Army, FM 6-22 establishes leadership doctrine, the fundamental principles by which Army leaders act to accomplish their mission and care for their people. FM 6-22 applies to officers, warrant officers, noncommissioned officers, and enlisted Soldiers of all Army components, and to Army civilians. From Soldiers in basic training to newly commissioned officers, new leaders learn how to lead with this manual as a basis. FM 6-22 is prepared under the direction of the Army Chief of Staff. It defines leadership, leadership roles and requirements, and how to develop leadership within the Army. It outlines the levels of leadership as direct, organizational, and strategic, and describes how to lead successfully at each level. It establishes and describes the core leader competencies that facilitate focused feedback, education, training, and development across all leadership levels. It reiterates the Army Values. FM 6-22 defines how the Warrior Ethos is an integral part of every Soldier's life. It incorporates the leadership qualities of self-awareness and adaptability and describes their critical impact on acquiring additional knowledge and improving in the core leader competencies while operating in constantly changing operational environments. In line with evolving Army doctrine, FM 6-22 directly supports the Army's capstone manuals, FM 1 and FM 3-0, as well as keystone manuals such as FM 5-0, FM 6-0, and FM 7-0. FM 6-22 connects Army doctrine to joint doctrine as expressed in the relevant joint doctrinal publications, JP 1 and JP 3-0. As outlined in FM 1, the Army uses the shorthand expression of BE-KNOW-DO to concentrate on key factors of leadership. What leaders DO emerges from who they are (BE) and what they KNOW. Leaders are prepared throughout their lifetimes with respect to BE-KNOW-DO so they will be able to act at a moment's notice and provide leadership for whatever challenge they may face. FM 6-22 expands on the principles in FM 1 and describes the character attributes and core competencies required of contemporary leaders. Character is based on the attributes central to a leader's make-up, and competence comes from how character combines with knowledge, skills, and behaviors to result in leadership. Inextricably linked to the inherent qualities of the Army leader, the concept of BE-KNOW-DO represents specified elements of character, knowledge, and behavior described here in FM 6-22.
Download or read book The Eleven Days of Christmas written by Marshall L. Michel (III) and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 1972, with an increasingly dovish Congress preparing to cut off all funding for the war in Vietnam, President Richard Nixon ordered the bombing of Hanoi by the Strategic Air Command's "big stick," its fleet of B-52 bombers. Never before had a B-52 been lost in combat, but the North Vietnamese SAM missile crews knocked them out of the sky in the first days of the engagement. Despite the losses, the surviving bombers kept coming, inflicting huge losses on the North Vietnamese. For eleven days the momentum swung back and forth, moving from what appeared to be a certain U.S. triumph, to a possible North Vietnamese victory, to the ultimate ambiguous denouement in which both sides won and lost.
Download or read book After Europe written by Ivan Krastev and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative book, renowned public intellectual Ivan Krastev reflects on the future of the European Union—and its potential lack of a future. With far-right nationalist parties on the rise across the continent and the United Kingdom planning for Brexit, the European Union is in disarray and plagued by doubts as never before. Krastev includes chapters devoted to Europe's major problems (especially the political destabilization sparked by the more than 1.3 million migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia), the spread of right-wing populism (taking into account the election of Donald Trump in the United States), and the thorny issues facing member states on the eastern flank of the EU (including the threat posed by Vladimir Putin's Russia). In a new afterword written in the wake of the 2019 EU parliamentary elections, Krastev concludes that although the union is as fragile as ever, its chances of enduring are much better than they were just a few years ago.
Download or read book This Brave New World written by Anja Manuel and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-03-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the next decade and a half, China and India will become two of the world's indispensable powers--whether they rise peacefully or not. During that time, Asia will surpass the combined strength of North America and Europe in economic might, population size, and military spending. Both India and China will have vetoes over many international decisions, from climate change to global trade, human rights, and business standards. From her front row view of this colossal shift, first at the State Department and now as an advisor to American business leaders, Anja Manuel escorts the reader on an intimate tour of the corridors of power in Delhi and Beijing. Her encounters with political and business leaders reveal how each country's history and politics influences their conduct today. Through vibrant stories, she reveals how each country is working to surmount enormous challenges--from the crushing poverty of Indian slum dwellers and Chinese factory workers, to outrageous corruption scandals, rotting rivers, unbreathable air, and managing their citizens' discontent. We wring our hands about China, Manuel writes, while we underestimate India, which will be the most important country outside the West to shape China's rise. Manuel shows us that a different path is possible--we can bring China and India along as partners rather than alienating one or both, and thus extend our own leadership in the world"--
Download or read book The Domestic Sources of American Foreign Policy written by James M. McCormick and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of this leading reader for courses in American foreign policy offers students an up-to-date, highly accessible introduction to the broad array of domestic factors influencing U.S. policymakers. Editor James M. McCormick has carefully selected two dozen current insightful and sometimes controversial essays by a distinguished group of leading experts-- scholars, journalists and public officials--including 11 new and 7 updated contributions. In his introduction, McCormick evaluates the challenges facing U.S. foreign policy makers in recent years and assesses the Obama Administration's successes and failures in its efforts to pursue a new direction in American foreign policy. The volume is then divided into three major parts with an opening essay by the editor to place each part in context and then a selection of essays that analyzes the topic in that part in more detail. Part I, "The Societal Environment," contains a series of articles on the position of interest groups, the impact of military experience, the effect of public opinion, and the role of elections and political parties on foreign policy. Part II, "The Institutional Setting," examines how various political institutions, such as Congress, the presidency, and various bureaucracies (e.g., the National Security Council, the intelligence community) shape American foreign policy. Part III, "Decision makers and Their Policymaking Positions," provides various case analyses over several administrations to illustrate how individuals and bureaucracies affect the foreign policy decision making at the highest levels of government.
