  • North Korean Civil-Military Trends
    Ken E. Gause / Ken EGause / Strategic Studies Institute

  • Planning For And Applying Military Force
    Paul K. Van Riper / Paul KVan Riper / Strategic Studies Institute

  • Strategic Theory For The 21st Century
    Harry R. Yarger / Harry RYarger / Strategic Studies Institute
    The word 'strategy' pervades American conversation and our news media. We tend to use strategy as a general term for a plan, a concept, a course of action, or a 'vision' of the direction in which to proceed at the personal, organizational, and governmental-local, state, or federal-levels. Such casual use of the term to describe nothing more than 'what we would like to do next' ...

  • The Mexican Armed Forces In Transition
    Ian Nicholls / Jordi Díez / Strategic Studies Institute
    After the 9/11 attacks on the United States, homeland defense became the primary issue in U.S. defense policy. At the same time, it was clear that homeland defense would have to become a trilateral continental issue, and, thus, would have to include Canada and Mexico. Because the United States and Canada already had developed a relatively close relationship during and after Wor...

    The Department of Defense (DoD) is committed to transforming its conventional warfare capabilities. At the same time, DoD must increase its emphasis on irregular warfare.

  • Friction in U.S. Foreign Policy
    Andrew W. Stewart / Andrew WStewart / Strategic Studies Institute
    The United States is so culturally different by virtue of its 'New World paradigm' that its direct leadership style is becoming counterproductive. If the United States were more 'street smart' on the world scene, it could better identify nuanced subtleties and better leverage allies, who, in turn, are better positioned to further American ideals abroad. However, such an indirec...
