  • The East Mediterranean Triangle At Crossroads
    Jean-Loup Samaan / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    For years, the Israel-Turkey partnership was believed to be an anchor of stability in the troubled Middle East.

As a result of this crisis between Ankara and Jerusalem, the compe...

  • Nato Cyberspace Capability
    Jeffrey L. Caton / Jeffrey LCaton / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    Several years ago, as the primary focus of U.S. military strategy shifted to the western Pacific region, many respected authorities began to question the relevance of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in modern world events. More recent events, such as the Russian Federation’s annexation of Crimea, have given policy makers pause to question the wisdom of anticipated...

  • Taking The Fight To The Enemy
    Larry M. Wortzel / Larry MWortzel / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was once focused on China’s immediate periphery. The PLA Navy had no 'blue water' naval capabilities and very limited combat logistics support. The Air Force could not fly long-distance missions overwater or operate effectively in conjunction with the Navy or naval air forces; nor could it coordinate joint, precision strikes with the m...

  • Politics And Economics In Putin’s Russia
    Stephen J. Blank / Stephen JBlank / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    The papers included here, except for the editor’s introduction, all come from the Strategic Studies Institute’s annual conference on Russia in May 2012. In one way or another, they all point to the internal pathologies that render Russian security a precarious affair, at the best of times. As the editor suggests, the very fact of this precariousness makes Russia an inherently u...

  • An Arab NATO In The Making? Middle Eastern Military Cooperation Since 2011
    Florence Gaub / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    The Middle East and North Africa region has been one of the world’s most unstable areas since World War II, and yet, the nations of the region have failed to develop any form of security architecture. The Arab Spring and its aftermath seemed to have opened a window of opportunity for certain Arab states to cooperate more-but how and to what extent remain to be seen. This Letort...

  • The Quest For Military Cooperation In North Africa
    Mohammed El-Katiri / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    In the aftermath of the ousting of dictatorial regimes in 2011, the fragile political and security situations in Tunisia and Libya have contributed to the emergence of new threats that menace the stability of both countries and of their neighbors.

    John R. Deni / John RDeni / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College

  • Strategy and Grand Strategy
    Army War College U.S. / Strategic Studies Institute (SSI)
    There is no word or phrase more important and essential to the national security community than 'strategy.' In this monograph, Dr. Tami Davis Biddle argues that, while most of us have a sense of what the word means, we do not always fully appreciate all that it entails and all that it demands of us. Indeed, she argues that because strategy is so difficult on so many levels, we ...

  • Enabling Others To Win in a Complex World

    As the Army downsizes its personnel while still being asked to conduct a wide variety of missions globally, the need for increased effectiveness is paramount. Those interested in the possibilities presented by the Army’s recently developed regionally aligned forces (RAF) concept will find this monograph thought- provoking and of particular interest. While the United States has ...

    Christopher J. Sims / Christopher JSims / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    The announcement that the Human Terrain System (HTS) was brought to a close in the fall of 2014 met with a flurry of responses. Commentators assessed the character and content of the social science research program and several identified plausible legacies that it may bequeath U.S. Armed Services. Often the conclusions therein were mixed, hinting instructively at the absence of...

  • Autonomous Weapon Systems
    Jeffrey L. Caton / Jeffrey LCaton / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    Stories about unmanned vehicles now appear regularly in the national news-and not always in good ways. Within the last 2 years, privately-owned drones have crashed on the White House lawn, surveilled the U.S. Embassy in Paris, and buzzed German Chancellor Angela Merkel. When used in military operations, autonomous weapon systems (AWS) have the potential to save lives as well as...

  • Gold, Blood, and Power
    James Lacey / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    cCicero once pointed out that the crucial sinew of war is, and always has been, 'endless streams of money.' Wars throughout history have been waged for only as long as the money has held out. If silver and gold continued to pour forth from a state’s treasury, then a ruler or government could tap a never-ending supply of soldiers and war materiel. However, soon after the supply ...

  • China’s Rise and Reconfiguration of Central Asia’s Geopolitics
    Roman Muzalevsky / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    China’s global rise has prompted numerous discussions and studies of this historically monumental phenomenon and its implications for the world.

  • Reforming U.S. Export Controls Reforms
    Richard Weitz / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    The U.S. defense export system is in need of significant reform to reduce the impact of its core inefficiencies and weaknesses. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) create serious problems for the U.S. defense industry and thereby weaken U.S. national security in several important ways. While the ITAR is mostly successful in preventing U.S. arms from being used ...

    Henry D. Sokolski / Henry DSokolski / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    Henry Sokolski has written an excellent, short book about what he sees as our not so peaceful nuclear future. While short in length, it covers a lot of ground, and because it is extensively footnoted, it can lead readers to the broader literature. The book provides a good picture of the growing stockpiles of separated plutonium and the stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, as ...

  • The Strategic Importance of The Global Oil Market
    Leif Rosenberger / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    In the past year, oil prices have plummeted. At first glance, the U.S. economy as a whole appears to be a big winner. Newspaper headlines talk about 'America’s oil independence.' In Carlisle, PA, we can gas up our cars in late-March 2015 for less than $2.50 a gallon. That means more money in our pockets for consumer goods. Therefore, consumers are big winners and are rejoicing....

    This manuscript focuses on the present threat posed by terrorist and insurgent use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as well as the associated future threat potentials identified. The work presents a counterintuitive analysis in the sense that armed drones are typically viewed as a component of America’s conventional warfighting prowess-not a technology that would be used agai...

    Keir Giles / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    The focus on Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014-15 has obscured other areas of contention which previously were prominent and problematic in relations between the United States and Russia. One such area is the strenuous Russian objection to U.S. plans for ballistic missile defense, most recently in the form of the European Phased Adaptive Approach (EPAA). At some point in ...
