Subsidence on the predominantly strike‐slip Alpine Fault, Aotearoa New Zealand
There has been considerable research both on‐fault and in adjacent wetland environments aimed at understanding the nature and timing of movements on the predominantly strike‐slip Alpine Fault in southern Aotearoa New Zealand. Findings have documented significant horizontal displacement on its western side and uplift to the east but have as yet not reported any vertical land displacement to the west. Here, we report on a recent study of drowned fo…
What Deters and Why
As part of a series of reports in which RAND researchers examine the established concepts of deterrence and develop a framework for evaluating the strength of deterrent relationships, this report explores two ongoing examples of extended deterrence. In particular, RAND researchers apply the established framework to U.S. efforts to deter North Korean aggression against South Korea and U.S. efforts to deter Chinese aggression against Taiwan.
The Evolving Israel-China Relationship
Since the early 2000s, relations between China and Israel have expanded in terms of trade, investment, and educational partnerships. China is interested in advanced technology and Israel's strategic location, while Israel seeks to expand ties with the world's fastest growing major economy and diversify its export markets. In this report, RAND researchers discuss the relationship and the challenges it poses for Israel and for the United States
China's Evolving Strategic Deterrence Concepts and Capabilities
Strategists often think of strategic deterrence as synonymous with nuclear deterrence, the top of the escalation ladder; China does not. In fact, China's strategic deterrence concepts are evolving
The Changing View of Property Rights in Natural Resources Management
The social, demographic, technological, and ecological circumstances in the United States have changed since its beginning. Society's view of property rights-i.e., the way resources are to be used-has evolved accordingly. Resource owners'virtually unrestricted right to use their property as they wished disappeared along with the western frontier, pristine wilderness, and abundant natural resources. There is now a strong commitment to preserve wha…

The Nature of Water Resources Policy and Policymaking
The inclusion of environmental quality as an explicit goal and income redistribution as an implicit goal in the federal water policy changes the nature of the policy from strictly distributive to a mixture of distribution, regulation, and redistribution. To accommodate these goals, a new decisionmaking system and a nevi policymaking process are developed. Theodore Lowi's policy typology and Robert Salisbury's concept of shifting policy nature are…
The Structure of Federal Water Resources Policy Making
Federal water resources programs and policies are often developed haphazardly in response to crises. Hence, they lack breadth, coordination, and comprehensiveness. Problems lie in the structure of the development process in which federal construction agencies play a major part. Having these agencies do the economic evaluations when development opportunity dwindles tempts them to compromise the accuracy and integrity of the evaluations. The proble…
