Has Russia’s Anti-Nato Agenda Succeeded
Stopping NATO enlargement has become a clear foreign policy priority for Russia. Given the diminished likelihood of Ukrainian and Georgian membership, Russia’s anti-NATO agenda may appear as an unqualified success. However, the net impact of Russia’s anti-NATO foreign policy agenda is quite mixed. Ukraine's and Georgia's stakes for accession have increased and key European NATO members' hesitancy to provoke Russia unnecessarily is clear, but Russ…
Mission Revolution
Distributive domestic response
When former US ambassador to Pakistan, Wendy Chamberlin, said of the US, ‘We are a player in the Pakistani political system’, she was pointing out how challenging it is to achieve US policy goals under the kinds of volatile political conditions engulfing that country. In late 2007, the Bush administration was banking on the political future of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who had recently returned to Pakistan, and was still providing Pre…
Stability and Support Operations
U.S. military doctrine has recently elevated stability and support operations (SASO) to be a mission on par with the traditional combat missions, offense and defense. The new doctrinal approach to SASO represents a revolutionary change in the military's raison d’être; now the armed forces’ job is not only to win battles, but to create space for political negotiations and accords through the provision of controlled, nonviolent environments and oth…
The Perils of Humanitarian Assistance in Armed Internal Conflicts
The 1990s saw several international attempts to provide humanitarian assistance – often bolstered by military forces – to populations embroiled in armed internal conflicts. Examining the events in one instance – Somalia – makes it clear that the common misperception of humanitarian assistance as apolitical and neutral is dangerously counterproductive and can create unintended negative consequences for donors and intended recipients alike. The pro…
U.S. Support for Regional Complex Contingency Operations
In the aftermath of the Cold War, intervention in internal conflicts has taken on new characteristics: it is often driven by a humanitarian imperative; it is usually a combination of civilian and military efforts; and, it is usually a multilateral, rather than a unilateral, endeavor. This last characteristic, driven by international politics, represents a complex set of requirements: coalitions must be both politically and militarily viable, able…
Operations other than war
Post-Cold War political pressures are likely to increase the demand for the U.S. military in general and the U.S. Army in particular to conduct operations other than war (OOTW). This report analyzes how changing demographics worldwide will affect the operational requirements of future OOTW missions. Two key factors that have influenced U.S. success or failure in the past are 1) political-military communication, and 2) mission creep and mission sw…
The urbanisation of insurgency
Japan and the Theory of International Leadership
This essay makes four points: (1) despite the assertions of some of their proponents, static game-theoretic and optimal-tariff arguments suggest that states should not undertake hegemonic responsibilities to maintain an open trading system; (2) hegemonic states have, in fact, cooperated with others, despite risks to themselves; (3) Japan, the hegemonic successor or condominial associate of the United States in the years to come, is also likely to…
