'Was Tony Blair's Prime Ministership Neoliberal?'
Twenty Years After the Cold War
Two decades have passed since the of the Cold War. Indeed, anyone under thirty has virtually no personal memory of the conflict, and the generation born after the Soviet Union's collapse is reaching adulthood. In that time talk of the post-Cold has become less common, especially with the onset of the War on Terrorism, but nothing has quite taken its place. One might point to the tendency of recent debate to focus on specific, immediate issues (Ir…
The Next Wave of Nuclear Proliferation
This 2008 article (which originally ran in the Autumn 2008 Parameters) considers the security implications of a large-scale turn to nuclear power as a substitute for fossil fuels, with a focus on the nuclear proliferation risk inside an international scene disrupted by energy and resource stress. After assessing this danger it then argues that the U.S. should actively discourage such a turn through the promotion of renewable energy, while also su…
The Impending Oil Shock
In the April–May 2008 issue of Survival (vol. 50, no. 2, pp. 37–66), Nader Elhefnawy argued that oil production is approaching its peak, with consequences that are likely to be dramatic. There will be increased risk of state failure and resource conflict; the economic balance of power among major industrial states will shift according to their relative abilities to adapt to a scarcity of fossil fuels; and oil producers will enjoy greater politica…
The Impending Oil Shock
The peak–oil theory asserts that oil production follows a bell-shaped curve, rising exponentially early on, hitting a peak and then declining terminally. As world oil production reaches its peak, energy importers will enjoy somewhat greater political weight; the economic balance of power among major industrial states will change according to their relative abilities to adapt to a scarcity of fossil fuels; and there will be increased risk of state…
Toward a Long-Range Energy Security Policy
Events in recent decades have produced a broader definition of security. (1) The entry of phrases like environmental security, resource conflict, and into the lexicon of security experts provides examples of this changing dialogue, but these concepts remain on the margins of the discussion for the most part. Where US policy is concerned, the debate generally has been limited to arguments that the United States must preserve its access to the oil …
National Mobilization
Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, some commentators drew a parallel between al Qaeda's strike and Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor, and between the ensuing struggle and the Second World War. There was sporadic talk of mobilization, which was easily enough dismissed as out of step with the realities of the War on Terror. Unconventional warfighters like terrorists are by definition immune to the massive concentrations of power that are the tr…

Four Myths about Space Power
T he satellite gap between America and every other nation in the world is univer- sally recognized, and the significance of this fact is also unquestioned. America's unparalleled investment in space, in satellites, the infrastructure that goes with them and the precision weapons that best exploit them is appreciated as having made possible its successful campaigns against Iraq, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan
