China as great power: From red menace to green giant
China's standing in the world—whether it is, or is seen to be, a great power—is a question of signal importance because of what great powers are capable of doing, what effects their actions and words have on others, and what is expected of them. By most conventional measures, China is at least on the verge of being a great power. Yet the country also occupies a pivotal global position in terms of its present and expected future impact on the envi…
Environmental Security: The Search for Strategic Legitimacy
Environmental security-the intersection of environmental conditions and security affairs-is a subject that increasingly demands the attention of those concerned with relations between the armed forces and society. It is at the heart of new, more comprehensive post-Cold War conceptions of security that could fundamentally redefine the essence of military establishments. It is also central to societal well-being and the attendant public trust and c…
China's environmental threat: Crafting a strategic response
Organizationally and institutionally, the United States has yet to make the necessary post‐Cold War transformation of its national security apparatus to accommodate the range of issues that it now confronts. The environment, although often considered to be a matter of low politics, weighs heavily as an indicator of China's economic and technological growth. Ignoring pollution and degradation, which are transborder issues by definition, disregards…

Unauthorized nuclear weapon seizure: An analysis of post‐seizure response
Most of the recent attention given to nuclear security has focused on the prevention of theft of fissionable materials. Too little attention has been given to response to the theft of nuclear weapons. This paper takes the unauthorized seizure of a nuclear weapon as an initial condition and attempts to identify potential problem areas by 1) defining a plausible set of scenarios, 2) delineating the sequences of activities that can be expected to oc…
Law, Morality, and the Public Servant
T he proper relationship between law and morality has been, for many years, a source of continuing concern, both theoretical and practical. British legal scholar H. L. A. Hart has identified four significant questions that traditionally have been raised concerning the nature of this relationship.' The first of these is historical and causal in nature: Has the development of the law been influenced by morals, and vice-versa? The second question ma…
