    Gregory Aftandilian / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College

  • Strategic Implications of the Evolving Shanghai Cooperation Organization
    Andrew Monaghan / Henry Plater-Zyberk / Strategic Studies Institute
    The role of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in regional politics, and the significance of the organization for U.S. interests, is widely misunderstood. The organization is emphatically not a military bloc, and yet engages in joint activities which resemble military cooperation to U.S. eyes. It is, in theory, open to new members; but at present is highly unlikely to ...

    Robert Nalbandov / Strategic Studies Institute / U. S. Army War College Press / U.S. Army War College Press / USArmy War College Press

While no country strictly follows similar patterns of democratic institutionalization, there is a variable that defines the rate of success of their efforts: ...

  • European Missile Defense And Russia
    Andrew Monaghan / Keir Giles / Strategic Studies Institute
    The recent history of the conversation with Russia over plans for European missile defense has been one of repeated and unsuccessful attempts to allay strongly worded Russian concerns.

  • Revival Of Political Islam In The Aftermath Of The Arab Uprisings
    Mohammed El-Katiri / Strategic Studies Institute
    Regime change during the Arab Spring allowed Islamist political forces that long had been marginalized to achieve political influence in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya.

    Henry Plater-Zyberk / Strategic Studies Institute

    Clarence J. Bouchat / Clarence JBouchat / Strategic Studies Institute
    The national strategy of the United States has reemphasized the Asia-Pacific region, but subsequent actions in that direction seem to be preempted by more immediate crises elsewhere in the world and by internal political disputes. Nonetheless, events in the region continue to evolve and the United States must stay actively engaged or lose its long-standing influence. With the s...
