Chaos as Strategy
A ghost is stalking the corridors of general staffs and defense departments all over the 'developed' world-the fear of military impotence, even irrelevance
American Spartans: Networks, neurons, and the chaos challenge
This article addresses ways to move toward capacities to tackle future challenges in asymmetric conflict. In particular, it considers how networks and the holistic “neuron” synthesis of man and machine offer new possibilities and new threats. Adapting armed forces to the challenges of the future will not be easy; vigorous debate is required about how to address vulnerabilities in light of the science of complexity and future uncertainties. Indeed…
The ‘Mega-Eights’: Urban Leviathans and International Instability
Towards an Ethical Framework for Security
Globalization and Environmental Challenges: Reconceptualizing Security in the 21st Century
Sense and Symbolism: Europe Takes On Human Security
human tragedy reaches its climax in the fact that after all the exertions and sacrifices of hundreds of millions of people and of the victories of the Righteous Cause, we have still not found Peace or Security. --Winston Churchill Europe, as identity and union, has undergone an extraordinary transformation since the end of Cold War. In recent history, much of this remarkable change has only accelerated, both with the expansion of membership in th…
Through the Looking Glass: Creeping Vulnerabilities and the Reordering of Security
Although security - as a basic concept - is frequently considered in the study and analysis of policy decisions, its essential meaning ought to be more widely disagreed than agreed upon. Commonly considered a basic concept in policy and academic debates, security is in reality a quantity that is not basic at any register. The couching of emerging ‘non-traditional’ concepts such as environmental security and human security solely on their relation…

A Concept in Search of Relevance
Macedonia: End of the Beginning or Beginning of the End
In this part of the world it is difficult to find the true path between reason and emotion, myth and reality. This is the burden of the Balkans, which prevents us from becoming truly European." --Kiro Gligorov First President of the Republic of Macedonia Following the horrific events of 11 September 2001, the security dilemma of the former Yugoslavia virtually vanished before the eyes of many policymakers. Understandably, the United States and Eu…
After Kosovo: Terminal Ambiguity
Kosovo must be brought into Europe, not isolated or temporarily stabilized
Converging Interests and Agendas: The Boomerang Returns
Boomerang Effect: The Convergence of National and Human Security
Partly as a result of the 11 September 2001 attacks on Washington and New York, policy decisions and future choices may well be driven by a blurring of concerns that involve state-centric security (in which military forces have traditionally been the best form of protection) and human security (in which instruments other than the military may prove the primary means of protection). The implications for the analyst and policymaker are tremendous. …
To Die For: National Interests and Strategic Uncertainties
We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow." --Lord Palmerston, 1848 "Individual countries must gradually abandon a foreign policy category that, so far, has usually been critical to their thinking: the category of `national interests.' `National interests' are more likely to divide us than bring us together."[1] --Czech President Vclav If one w…
Thicker than Water? Kin, Religion, and Conflict in the Balkans
Listen then, to what you do not know. The three rivers of the ancient world of the dead--the Acheron, the Phlegethon, and the Cocytus--today belong to the underworlds of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity; their flow divides the three hells--Gehenna, Hades, and the icy hell of the Mohammedans--beneath the onetime Khazar lands. And there, at the junction of these three borders, are confronted the three worlds of the dead: Satan's fiery state with th…
