The road not taken
Irrespective our views on the rationality of our opponent's continuing to conduct operations against us, unless utterly extirpated, he retains a vote on when and how conflict will end. This is because war is about power — compelling another actor to do something he would not otherwise do, or to cease doing something he would otherwise prefer to do. In planning for conflict termination we should account for the peculiarities of opponents who may d…
The Risk of Optimism in the Conduct ofWar
Now, philanthropists may easily imagine there is a skillful method of disarming and overcoming an enemy without great bloodshed, and that this is the proper tendency of the Art of War."-Carl von Clausewitz, On War 1 "They will all be finished because there is no choice, there is just death
Waiting for Dead Men's Shoes
Waiting for Dead Men's Shoes
In Waiting for Dead Men's Shoes, Donald Chisholm explains “how the navy's officer personnel system got from its simple, relatively crude state in 1794” to its complex and fully elaborated “configuration in 1941” and “why it took the particular form it did.” The book is organized chronologically and contains a considerable amount of traditional administrative history. Although Chisholm acknowledges the value of both the “old insti-tutionalism” and…
Problem Solving and Institutional Design
The most prominent contemporary approach to institutions asserts that they result from self-interested, maximizing choice from among some array of alternative forms that biases outcomes in certain directions. But institutions such as large-scale formal organizations also are powerful instruments for solving difficult problems. From this perspective, founded in the institutionalism of the late nineteenth century and grounded in cognitive psycholog…

Between Liebniz and Voltaire
The Profession pline, proceeds largely in isolation from preceding work by focusing entirely on instruments of analysis from another discipline and in disregard of work done by political scientists.Given such discontinuities I find it difficult to designate as "institutionalization" the development of comparative politics over the last forty years.The difficulties comparativists confront are much like those of the wider discipline.As David Ricci …
Coordination Without Hierarchy
The organizational history of American government during the past 100 years has been written principally in terms of the creation of larger and larger public organizations. Beginning with the Progressive movement, no matter the goal, the reflexive response has been to consolidate and centralize into formal hierarchies. That efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability, and the coordination necessary to achieve them, are promoted by such reorgani…

mentum? Again there are a number of possibilities, although the ones I've found all require an increased flow to the department of the kinds of resources that are typically controlled by key administrators. The exploration of these possibilities, therefore, requires some initial good will, the willingness to negotiate, and some skill in forging pathways to joint gains. Sometimes, an External Reviewer can elicit initial expressions of good will, f…

later. Applying for one's first permanent full-time academic position following completion of the Ph.D. is terribly important and has great potential for error. Most of us aren't exactly sure what we want in a position or an institution beyond something good, and the experience is not repeated. It is not such a bad thing to get it as close to right as possible the first time. My own experience, casual observation of graduate colleagues, and conve…
