  • The Hart-rudman Commission And The Homeland Defense
    Ian Roxborough / Strategic Studies Institute
    The American public and its leaders are paying increasing attention to the issue of homeland defense.

  • Budget Policy And Fiscal Risk
    Dennis S. Ippolito / Dennis SIppolito / Strategic Studies Institute
    Critics often charge that the major revision of U.S. military strategy which took place after the collapse of the Soviet Union was budget-driven rather than strategydriven. Partially in response to this, the current strategic review, led by Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, is intended to be 'strategy-driven.' Even so, the defense budget remains one of the central shaping features...

  • Chinese Information Warfare
    Strategic Studies Institute / Toshi Yoshihara

  • The Inescapable Global Security Arena
    Max G. Manwaring / Max GManwaring / Strategic Studies Institute

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...

  • Clausewitz’s Center Of Gravity
    Antulio J. Echevarria II / Antulio JEchevarria II / Strategic Studies Institute
    Over the last 25 years, the center of gravity concept has grown increasingly central to the U.S. military’s warfighting doctrine. It has been hailed by each of the Services and the Joint community as the cornerstone of the operational art; and it has come to occupy a common place in the vocabulary of professional soldiers. It is somewhat surprising, therefore, that, over the la...
