  • Tribal Militias
    Norman Cigar / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    Most of the local societies in which Al-Qaida and its affiliates and offshoots operate in the Middle East and Africa have a predominantly tribal or at least have a strong tribal component (Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Mali, and Sinai). Countering Al-Qaida’s continuing presence, therefore, requires addressing the tribal milieu and understanding Al-Qaida’s critical vulnera...

  • After The Spring
    Florence Gaub / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    Although Arab military forces had somewhat disappeared from the political landscape since the 1970s, the events of the 'Arab Spring' in 2011 have brought them back to the forefront of political change, for better or for worse.

  • The Role of Leadership In Transitional States
    Dr. Anastasia Filippidou / DrAnastasia Filippidou / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    The United States plays a significant role in the Middle East. When dealing with the region, often the dilemma is: should there be a strong or weak regional leadership in order to facilitate a transitional phase? However, this decision is contextual, and a state must know what is its own foreign policy. To promote its national interests in the long term, the United States might...

  • Stepping Up
    Joel R. Hillison / Joel RHillison / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    Burden sharing is back. Indeed many observers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Alliance would claim that it never went away. This is because, from its inception in 1949, NATO has never been an alliance of equals. The United States has always made the overwhelmingly larger contribution, not only for the defense of Europe under Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, but al...

The opening up of China in the 1980s, the demise of the Soviet Union a decade later, and the ongoing globalization have all served as grand forces facilitating this highly monumental development. The U.S. regional military involve...

    Henry D. Sokolski / Henry DSokolski / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    In 2009, the President of the United States spotlighted nuclear terrorism as one of the top threats to international security and launched an international effort to identify, secure, and dispose of global stocks of weapons-usable nuclear materials-namely highly enriched uranium and weapons-grade plutonium.

  • Operationalizing Counter Threat Finance Strategies
    and U.S. Army War College / and U.SArmy War College / Shima D. Keene / Shima DKeene / Strategic Studies Institute
    It is a well established axiom that attempting to defeat an insurgency or a terrorist organization headon is merely treating the symptoms of a problem. For long-term success, the campaign must also address the root causes of the insecurity that spawned conflict in the first place. In this monograph, British academic and practitioner Dr. Shima Keene describes a number of ways in...

    David S. Lyle / David SLyle / Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College
    This monograph focuses upon 'regional alignment,' viewed by many as critical if the Army is to remain both relevant and effective in the 21st century security environment. Despite its title, the monograph is part of the Strategic Studies Institute’s ongoing 'talent management' series. In fact, the authors argue that world class talent management is a necessary pre-condition to ...

    Strategic Studies Institute / U.S. Army War College / U.SArmy War College / USAR Lieutenant Colonel Katherin White
    The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan mark an era of unprecedented outsourcing in contingency operations. Although signiicant outsourcing occurred in prior wars, never has the scale been so large for so long. Counterintuitively, as outsourcing increased, the number of government acquisition personnel decreased. This led to waste, fraud, and abuse. The Commission on Wartime Contracti...

    By 2010, it was possible to see al-Qaeda as an organization in decline. It had lost militarily in Iraq and seemed politically irrelevant to the popular revolts during the Arab Spring. However, the Syrian civil war has allowed it to rebuild and, in the form of the local Al Nusrah Front, use a revised political and military strategy. This important monograph considers if these ap...
