How Iran aligned militias seized Iraq
Militia groups are a major tool of Iranian influence in Iraq. Over the past decade, these Iranian aligned militia groups have worked to capture Iraqi state institutions. Today, militia state capture has advanced in sophistication and breadth to such a degree that it has become extraordinarily difficult to disentangle illicit militia activity from that of the Iraqi state institutions and political parties. This paper argues that though the militia…
Accidental Allies
The U.S.-led effort to fight the Islamic State in northeastern Syria since 2014 has been as controversial and poorly understood as it has been significant. Advocates of fighting “by, with and through” the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) view the campaign as a near-ideal case study of a cost-effective U.S. military intervention that should be duplicated in the future. Critics of the campaign say that the U.S. allied itself with a terror…
Real or Imagined Consolidation? The Case of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces
Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF or Hashd al-Shaabi in Arabic) presents an intriguing case study of rebel consolidation, in which pro-regime militias opportunistically seized the reins of a new and rapidly expanding government security institution. The organizational wrapper of the PMF Commission gave an illusory sense of instant consolidation, whereas the formation of the PMF was just the beginning of one of many cycles of armed actor con…
The Military Role in Yemen's Protests
Saleh's solution to ‘the civil-military problematic’ (to borrow Peter Feaver's phrase) was to build powerful praetorian units and place his relatives in command of them, a counter-productive approach that ultimately increased the risk that Saleh faced. During Yemen's Arab Spring uprisings, sections of the armed forces not controlled by President Ali Abd'allah Saleh's siblings and cousins sought to ride the wave of popular revolt and emerge as a c…
Affecting trust
The national security consequences of the potential use of the Internet by terrorist organizations have attracted the interest of many academics and government and intelligence officials. The goal of this article is to provide a new explanatory angle concerning the possible targets of terrorists’ offensive information warfare (OIW) operations. It argues that these organizations may prove more valuable and effective to undermine on‐line activities…
