  • The People’s Liberation Army and contingency planning in China
    Andrew Scobell / Arthur S. Ding / Arthur SDing / Phillip C. Saunders / Phillip CSaunders
    How will China use its increasing military capabilities in the future? China faces a complicated security environment with a wide range of internal and external threats. Rapidly expanding international interests are creating demands for the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to conduct new missions ranging from protecting Chinese shipping from Somali pirates to evacuating citizens ...

  • The Costs Of Conflict
    Andrew Scobell
    There is a need for the United States to move the debate over the challenge China presents us beyond the dispositions of the attention grabbing advocates: the rationalizers who explain Chinese actions in benign terms with their own political or academic motives, or the denigrators, who are 'The Chinese Are Coming' school-to wit: China is belligerent, a threat, in short, a monst...

  • China And Strategic Culture
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute

  • China’s Growing Military Power
    Andrew Scobell / Larry M. Wortzel / Larry MWortzel
    The tenor of U.S.-China relations for much of the first year of the administration of President George W. Bush was set by a crisis that need not have occurred. How the situation was handled and eventually resolved is instructive. It tells us about a beleaguered communist leadership in the buildup to major generational transition (scheduled for late 2002 and early 2003) and the ...

  • The Lessons Of History
    Andrew Scobell / Larry M. Wortzel / Larry MWortzel / Laurie Burkitt
    With the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China celebrating their 75th anniversary on August 1, 2002, it only seemed appropriate and timely to take stock of the world’s largest military. The People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has officially been in existence for three-quarters of a century, and its history is one filled with turmoil and warfare. One weekend in September 200...

  • China And North Korea
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute
    The relationship between China and North Korea surely ranks as one of world’s strangest. While on the surface, it might not seem surprising to have a formal military alliance between two communist neighbors that has endured more than 4 decades. After all, their armed forces fought shoulder-to-shoulder in the Korean War 50 years ago. However, Beijing’s ties to Pyongyang have wea...

  • Civil-Military Change In China
    Andrew Scobell / Larry Wortzel
    In November 2002, the Chinese Communist Party held its 16th Congress and formally initiated a sweeping turnover of senior leaders in both the Party and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The meeting heralded not merely a new set of personalities in positions of political and military power, but also the emergence of a new generation of leaders. Who are these individuals, and w...

  • North Korea’s Strategic Intentions
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute
    North Korea poses a key challenge to the global community of states. Sometimes viewed as primarily a nuclear or proliferation challenge, Pyongyang actually presents the United States and other countries with multiple problems. As the 2005 National Defense Strategy of the United States notes, these challenges include 'traditional, irregular, and catastrophic.' While each dimensi...

  • Chinese National Security Decisionmaking Under Stress
    American Enterprise Institute / Andrew Scobell / Larry M. Wortzel / Larry MWortzel
    National security decisionmaking under stress or crisis management is something with which I have had some firsthand experience over the course of my career in government service. Most relevant to the topic of this edited volume is my tour of duty as U.S. Ambassador in Beijing which began in May 1989-a month before Tiananmen of June 3 and 4. In my position as chief U.S. diploma...

  • Shaping China’s Security Environment
    Andrew Scobell / Larry M. Wortzel / Larry MWortzel / Strategic Studies Institute
    This is the eighth volume on the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to be published by the Strategic Studies Institute. It is the product of a conference held at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, from September 23-25, 2005, to examine the PLA and the global security environment in which it operates. This gathering was the 18th in a series of annual conferences on China’s PLA. I have...

  • Kim Jong IL And North Korea
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute
    In the first decade of the 21st century, few national security challenges facing the United States are as vexing as that posed by North Korea. North Korea is both a paradox and an enigma. It is a paradox because on the one hand, by some measures it appears to be a very powerful state-possessing the world’s fourth largest armed forces, a sizeable arsenal of ballistic missiles, a...

  • Right Sizing The People’s Liberation Army
    Andrew Scobell / Roy Kamphausen / Strategic Studies Institute
    The U.S. Army War College and the National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) are two organizations with which I have a strong connection. I was in the class of 1976 at Carlisle and I currently serve on the Board of NBR where I am closely aligned with the Strategic Asia Program. As such, I was quite pleased when the NBR joined the continuing efforts of the U.S. Army War College’s S...

  • North Korea’s Military Threat
    Andrew Scobell / John M. Sanford / John MSanford / Strategic Studies Institute
    North Korea is a country of paradoxes and contradictions. Although it remains an economic basket case that cannot feed and clothe its own people, it nevertheless possesses one of the world’s largest armed forces. Whether measured in terms of the total number of personnel in uniform, numbers of special operations soldiers, the size of its submarine fleet, quantity of ballistic m...

  • Projecting Pyongyang
    Andrew Scobell / Strategic Studies Institute
    Forecasting is a challenging business, and this is especially true when North Korea is the subject. A little more than a decade ago, the conventional wisdom was that the end of North Korea was imminent. The country was beset by a severe famine, its economy appeared to have collapsed, and the collapse of the regime seemed destined to follow. In 2008, the conventional wisdom view...

  • The 'People' In The PLA
    Andrew Scobell / Roy Kamphausen / Travis Tanner
    I am pleased that, for the second year in a row, the U.S. Army War College and The National Bureau of Asian Research (NBR) teamed up to convene the annual PLA colloquium. Over the years, this event has successfully increased understanding of China’s military and the multiple aspects of its ongoing modernization effort. Last year was no exception. On September 28, 2007, under th...

  • Beyond The Strait
    Andrew Scobell / David Lai / Roy Kamphausen
    While preventing independence likely remains the central aim of the PLA vis-a-vis Taiwan, Chinese foreign policy objectives worldwide are rapidly growing and diversifying. This volume analyzes the PLA’s involvement in disaster and humanitarian relief, United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKO), counterterrorism and border defense, security in outer space and cyberspace, and...

  • Chinese Lessons from other Peoples’ Wars [Enlarged Edition]
    Andrew Scobell / David Lai / Roy Kamphausen
    The importance of China stems not only from its current international role and its influence on the Asia-Pacific region in particular, but also because China’s impact on global developments will likely continue to grow. One of our enduring imperatives is to accurately survey China’s experiences as a means to grasp its existing perceptions, motivations, and ambitions. More than ...
