Waylaid by Contradictions: Evaluating Trump’s Indo-Pacific Strategy
If any of Donald Trump’s initiatives ought to outlast his presidency, the Indo-Pacific strategy is arguably the most deserving candidate. The recognition that the Indo-Pacific region should become

Balancing without Containment: A U.S. Strategy for Confronting China's Rise
China's rise constitutes the most serious geopolitical challenge facing the United States today. On current trends, China could—many say will—develop a national economy larger than that of the Unit
The Lessons of Mumbai
This study of the Mumbai terrorist attack of November 2008 is part of the RAND Corporation Occasional Papers series. The research for this report was completed in December 2008 and updated as of January 9, 2009. Much of the information available for this necessarily preliminary analysis comes from reporting by the news media, which in such circumstances is often inaccurate, and from information provided by well-placed Indian and U.S. Government s…

The Merits of Dehyphenation: Explaining U.S. Success in Engaging India and Pakistan
Decoupling India and Pakistan in U.S. policy has been a dramatically successful example of the capacity to think strategically over the long term and implement complex policies that require diplomatic adroitness and political agility. It should be retained, although refined, by the next administration

China's Military Space Strategy
In the predawn darkness of 11 January 2007, a Chinese medium-range ballistic missile lifted off from a launch site at the Xichang space facility in Sichuan province.Fired from a mobile transporter-erector-launcher, the new two-stage, solid-fuelled missile -designated the SC-19 by the US intelligence community -carried a kinetic kill vehicle that slammed several minutes later into an ageing Chinese weather satellite deployed in low Earth orbit at …
The Evolution of U.S.-Indian Ties: Missile Defense in an Emerging Strategic Relationship
The shift in Indian positions on missile defense in the context of the growing transformation of U.S.-Indian relations since the end of the Cold War, and particularly since the advent of the George W. Bush administration, has been remarkable. New Delhi's traditional opposition to strategic defenses gave way to its current consideration of missile defense for a variety of reasons. These included structural factors related to the dissolution of U.S…

U.S. strategy: Assisting Pakistan's transformation
If Pakistan is to become a moderate, peaceful Muslim state, its political process must be reformed indigenously. Washington should concentrate its assistance on safeguarding Pakistan's nuclear estate and restoring democracy as part of a grand bargain with Islamabad
Toward a ‘force-in-being’: The logic, structure, and utility of India's emerging nuclear posture
Defined as a ‘force-in-being’, this nuclear posture exhibits a deterrent capability based on available but dispersed components capable of being constituted into usable nuclear weapon systems during a supreme emergency, and even after enduring an enemy nuclear strike. On current plans, New Delhi's force-in-being will be limited in size, separated in geographical disposition, and centralized in control

Anticipating Ethnic Conflict
This report is the final product of a year-long project entitled Ethnic Conflict and the Processes of State Breakdown: Improving Army Planning and Preparation, which sought to help Army intelligence analysts who monitor intrastate (including ethnically based) conflict potential around the world. The work of these analysts has grown more important since the end of the Cold War, as the U.S. Army has become increasingly engaged in peacekeeping and p…
Different Tools to Study Interaction Potentials in γ-Crystallin Solutions: Relevance to Crystal Growth
Osmotic pressure, small-angle X-ray scattering and quasi-elastic light scattering were used to study the medium-range interaction potentials between macromolecules in solution. These potentials determine macromolecular crystallization. Calf eye lens gamma-crystallins were used as a model system with the charge, and therefore the interactions, varied with pH. The second virial coefficient was determined under the same conditions with each of the t…

Terminating intervention: Understanding exit strategy and U.S. involvement in intrastate conflicts
The term exit strategy is misleading because it elevates exit considerations over and above the demands of proper goal setting and mission accomplishment in limited engagements. Despite this fact, developing an appropriate exit strategy is mandated by the Clausewitzean framework that suggests three components: 1. a clear statement of the political objectives to be pursued; 2. a derivative group of operational goals that must be secured; and 3. a …

Nuclear Arms, Moral Questions, And Religious Issues
The morality of nuclear strategy is one of the most engaging issues in the U.S. political debate today. Among its more interesting facets is the unprecedented intervention of religious hierarchies and churches on issues traditionally considered extraecclesial. By and large, the religious response has been largely critical of U.S. nuclear policy. In being so, it has also triggered an intense search for a variety of "utopian" solutions aimed at sec…
Aewc&C Aircraft for Pakistan: Choices and Alternatives
Over the last several years, Pakistan and the United States have discussed O at length a potential transfer of Airborne Early Warning Command and Control (AEWC&C) systems. The circumstances justifying such a Pakistani acquisition have existed since the 1965 conflict with India, when the problems afflicting its air defense were first made manifest. These concerns grew after the disastrous 1971 war, when the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), forced to cont…
