  • Gangs, Pseudo-militaries, and Other Modern Mercenaries
    Max G. Manwaring
    As the first decade of the twenty-first century has made brutally clear, the very definitions of war and the enemy have changed almost beyond recognition. Threats to security are now as likely to come from armed propagandists, popular militias, or mercenary organizations as they are from conventional armies backed by nation-states. In this timely book, national security expert ...

  • Internal Wars
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    Dr. Max Manwaring wrote this monograph in response to the fact that today over half the countries in the global community are faced with one variation or another of asymmetric guerrilla war. Insurgencies, internal wars, and other small-scale contingencies (SSCs) are the most pervasive and likely type of conflict in the post-Cold War era. That the United States will become invol...

  • The Inescapable Global Security Arena
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    The common denominator intent of any terrorist group is to impose self-determined desires for “change” on a society, a nation-state, and/or other perceived symbols of power in the global community. The solution to the terrorism threat is not simply to destroy small bands of terrorist fanatics and the governments that support them. Additional measures are needed. That is, once a...

  • Building Regional Security Cooperation In The Western Hemisphere
    Mary Grizzard / Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Wendy Fontela
    Often, when a conference is over―it is over. More often than not, attendees and presenters return to their normal duties thinking good or ambivalent thoughts about what they heard and learned. At the same time, there might be a fleeting moment―or two or three―when one wonders how a particular set of ideas expressed at that conference might be implemented. But, again, 'the fat l...

  • Security In The Americas
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    This monograph comes at a time of promise for greater economic integration between the United States and Latin America, but also one of profound concern about the deteriorating security situation in several countries in the region. Importantly, the benefi ts of stability, economic growth, and democracy depend on effective national sovereignty and security. These realities are g...

  • Shadows Of Things Past And Images Of The Future
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    This monograph begins with a short discussion of contemporary insurgency. It argues that in studying terror war, guerrilla war, or any other common term for insurgency war, we find these expressions mischaracterize the activities of armed groups that are attempting to gain political control of a state. These organizations are engaged in a highly complex political act--political...

  • Venezuela’s Hugo Chávez, Bolivarian Socialism, And Asymmetric Warfare
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    This monograph comes at a time when the U.S. and Venezuelan governments are intensifying an ongoing series of acrimonious charges and countercharges. Each country has argued repeatedly that the other is engaged in a political-economic-military struggle for Western Hemisphere hegemony. On a more personal level, the United States maintains that President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela ...

  • Street Gangs
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    The intent of this monograph is to identify some of the most salient characteristics of contemporary criminal street gangs (that is, the gang phenomenon or third generation gangs), and to explain the linkage to insurgency. As a corollary, Dr. Max G. Manwaring argues that gang-related crime, in conjunction with the instability it wreaks upon governments, is now a serious nationa...

  • Latin America’s New Security Reality
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    Since his election as President of Venezuela in 1998, Hugo Chavez has encouraged and continues to encourage his Venezuelan and other Latin American followers to pursue a confrontational 'defensive,' populist, and nationalistic agenda that will supposedly liberate Latin America from the economic dependency and the political imperialism of the North American 'Colossus' (the Unite...

  • A Contemporary Challenge To State Sovereignty
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    In this monograph, Dr. Max Manwaring builds on his 2005 SSI monograph, Street Gangs: The New Urban Insurgency, and illustrates gang and Transnational Criminal Organization (TCO) linkage to instability and its aftermath. He explains that gang-generated instability leads to threats to national, regional, and global security, nation-state sovereignty, failing and failed states, an...

  • A 'New' Dynamic in the Western Hemisphere Security Environment
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute
    This monograph is intended to help political, military, policy, opinion, and academic leaders think strategically about explanations, consequences, and responses that might apply to the volatile and dangerous new dynamic that has inserted itself into the already crowded Mexican and hemispheric security arena, that is, the privatized Zeta military organization. In Mexico, this n...

  • The Strategic Logic of the Contemporary Security Dilemma
    Max G. Manwaring / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    From the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 to the end of World War II and beyond the Cold War period, the prevailing assumption was that interstate warfare would continue to be the dominant threat to global peace and prosperity. Today’s wars, by contrast, are intrastate conflicts that take place mainly within-not across-national borders. As a consequence, the disease of intrastate co...

  • Ambassador Stephen Krasner’s Orienting Principle for Foreign Policy (and Military Management)
    Max G. Manwaring / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Ambassador Stephen D. Krasner reminds us that policymakers in great power nations such as the United States can aspire to realizing grand strategies based on a rational ends, ways, and means formula. They rarely succeed, however. It has proved too hard to align vision, policies, and resources. Moreover, multiple state and nonstate actors, conflicts, interests, changing technolo...

  • Venezuela as an Exporter of 4th Generation Warfare Instability (Enlarged Edition)
    Max G. Manwaring / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Because of rising popular expectations regarding currently nonexistent rights in Latin America, it appears to be a revolutionary, insurgent, criminal, and populist dream. Thus, the Americas appear to be particularly susceptible to state (and their proxies) and nonstate actors that promise the security, stability, and prosperity national governments have generally failed to prov...
