    On March 17, 2011, a month after the beginning of the Libyan revolution, with up to dead 2,000 civilians, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) decided on backing a no-fly zone over Libya and authorized 'all necessary measures' to protect civilians.

  • China-Latin America Military Engagement
    R. Evan Ellis / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The reemergence of China on the global stage is arguably one of the most important phenomena of our time.

In m...

  • Adapting, Transforming, and Modernizing Under Fire
    Inigo Guevara Moyano / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Since President Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006, Mexico has embarked upon the implementation of a culture of law and security that has triggered a war with organized crime.

  • Arms Control and Proliferation Challenges to the Reset Policy [Enlarged Edition]
    Stephen J. Blank / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The so-called New Start Treaty between Russia and the United States entered into force in February 2011. Consequently, this treaty constitutes a baseline for all future bilateral, if not multilateral, efforts at arms control and nonproliferation involving these two powers, including President Barack Obama’s long-term commitment to reaching nuclear zero. Moreover, due to the sal...

  • The Prospects for Security Sector Reform in Tunisia
    Querine Hanlon / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The Arab Spring began in Tunisia. The tragic self-immolation of Mohammed Bouazizi in December 2010 struck a chord of discontent and frustration that ultimately propelled Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali to step down barely a month later. The reverberations of this unprecedented series of events were felt throughout the region, and protestors took to the streets in Bah...

  • Finding 'The Right Way'
    Lieutenant Colonel Clark C. Barrett / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The ethical lapses exemplified by Abu Ghraib, Mahmudiyah (Blackhearts), and Maywand (5/2 Stryker) are distressing symptoms of an even bigger, and potentially devastating, cultural shortcoming. The U.S. Army profession lacks an institution l ethical framework and a means of peer-to-peer self-governance. The frameworks the Army has may imply , but they do not explicitly dictate, ...

  • Insanity
    Lieutenant Colonel Michael F. Walther / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    In the 4 decades since President Richard Nixon first declared war on drugs, the U.S. counterdrug strategy has remained virtually unchanged-favoring supply-reduction, law enforcement, and criminal sanctions over demand reduction, treatment, a d education. While the annual counterdrug budget has ballooned from $100 million to $25 billion, the availability of most illicit drugs re...

  • Jihadist Cells and 'IED' Capabilities in Europe
    Jeffrey M. Bale / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    During the past 2 decades, two interrelated security threats have emerged that Western democracies will likely be forced to contend with for the foreseeable future. The first of these threats is multifaceted inasmuch as it stems from a complex combination of religious, political, historical, cultural, social, and economic motivational factors: the growing predilection for carry...

  • Transnational Organized Crime, Terrorism, and Criminalized States in Latin America
    Douglas Farah / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The emergence of new hybrid (state and nonstate) transnational criminal/terrorist franchises in Latin America operating under broad state protection now pose a tier-one security threat for the United States. Similar hybrid franchise models are developing in other parts of the world, which makes the understanding of these new dynamics an important factor in a broader national se...

  • Disjointed Ways, Disunified Means
    Lewis G. Irwin / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Remarkably ambitious in its audacity and scope, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) irregular warfare and 'nation-building' mission in Afghanistan has struggled to meet its nonmilitary objectives by most tangible measures. Put directly, the alliance and its partners have fallen short of achieving the results needed to create a stable, secure, democratic, and self-su...

  • Russia and the Current State of Arms Control (Enlarged Edition)
    Stephen J. Blank / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Arms control remains the central issue in U.S.-Russian relations. This is so for many reasons, not least of which are the respective capabilities of these two states and their consequent responsibility for preventing both nuclear proliferation and the outbreak of war between them. Thus the state of the bilateral relationship is usually directly proportional to the likelihood of...

  • Russia’s Homegrown Insurgency
    Stephen J. Blank / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The United States has had a bitter set of experiences with insurgencies and counterinsurgency operations, but it is by no means alone in having to confront such threats and challenges. Indeed, according to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the greatest domestic threat to Russia’s security is the ongoing insurgency in the North Caucasus. This insurgency grew out of Russia’s war...

  • The Next Arms Race (Enlarged Edition)
    Henry D. Sokolski / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    With most of the world’s advanced economies now stuck in recession; Western support for defense cuts and nuclear disarmament increasing; and a major emerging Asian power at odds with its neighbors and the United States; it is tempting to think our times are about to rhyme with a decade of similar woes-the disorderly 1930s. Might we again be drifting toward some new form of mort...

  • Categorical Confusion
    Colin S. Gray / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    Strategic concepts and the theories they encourage and enable are discretionary intellectual constructions. Strategic concepts are not dictated to us; rather, we choose them and decide how they can serve as building blocks for the edifice of theory we prefer. When strategic theory is confusing, misleading, and not fit for its practical purposes of education and even advice, the...

  • Beyond the Battlefield
    G. Scott Taylor / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College
    The U.S. Army goes to great lengths to capture lessons learned and preserve these lessons for current practitioners and future generations. Though the Army is one of the most self-critical organizations found in American society, a well-deserved reputation has also been earned for failing to inculcate those lessons by transforming the institutional Army. Change is achieved thro...

    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...

    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...

They span much of the gamut of that foreign policy and also show its strong linkages...
