  • Peacebuilding in Postconflict Societies: Strategy and Process

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence Freedman et al.REVIEWForeign Affairs2006

    This much-needed, integrative discussion of the multiple dimensions of peacebuilding in postconflict societies offers a systematic approach to strategies and processes for long-term social, political, and economic transformation. Ho-Won Jeong links short-term crisis-intervention efforts to a sustained process that encompasses the entire complex environment of a conflict. His broad analytic framework and wealth of concrete examples provide a sophi…

  • Cobra II: The inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence Freedman et al.REVIEWForeign Affairs2006Cited by: 1

    There have been many reports about the Iraq war and the vicissitudes of the occupation, yet none has told the complete story. Michael Gordon had unparalleled, behind-the-scenes access to the decision-making processes that determined involvement in Iraq. In Cobra II - the secret codename given to the land invasion operation - he delivers the objectively rendered, definitive chronicle of the war

  • Rethinking the Economics of War: The Intersection of Need, Creed, and Greed

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence Freedman et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs2006Cited by: 15

    Rethinking the Economics of War: The Intersection of Need, Creed, and Greed questions the adequacy of explaining today's internal armed conflicts purely in terms of economic factors and reestablishes the importance of identity and grievances in creating and sustaining such wars. This collection of essays responds to current works asserting that the income from natural resources is the end and not just a means for warring rebel groups. The study p…

  • Bracing for Armageddon: Why Civil Defense Never Worked

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence Freedman et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs2006Cited by: 8

    This timely book is a concise survey of the U.S. government's civil defense plans from World War II to the present, including Cold War detonations, Reagan-era Star Wars, and contemporary issues of homeland security. Garrison argues that the true purpose of federal civil defense was to legitimize deterrence policy and the arms race through false assurances to the masses that they could survive nuclear war and to hide the astronomical expenses of p…

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence Freedman et al.ARTICLEForeign Affairs2006Cited by: 15

    James Risen has broken story after story on the abuses of power of the Bush administration. From warrantless wiretapping to financial data mining to the CIA's rogue operations, he has shown again and again that the executive branch has dangerously overreached, repudiated checks and balances on its power, and maintained secrecy even with its allies in Congress. In no small part thanks to Risen and State of War, the secret of the Bush years has now…

  • The Psychology of Nuclear Proliferation: Identity, Emotions, and Foreign Policy

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence FreedmanREVIEWForeign Affairs2006References: 44

    Dozens of states have long been capable of acquiring nuclear weapons, yet only a few have actually done so. Jacques E. C. Hymans finds that the key to this surprising historical pattern lies not in externally imposed constraints, but rather in state leaders' conceptions of the national identity. Synthesizing a wide range of scholarship from the humanities and social sciences to experimental psychology and neuroscience, Hymans builds a rigorous mo…

  • The Special Relationship, Then and Now

    Lawrence D Freedman, Lawrence FreedmanARTICLEForeign Affairs2006

    As Tony Blair gets lambasted for backing the Iraq war, it is worth noting that the current strain in U.S.-British relations is hardly the first induced by war. Twenty-four years ago, London was dismayed by Washington's lack of support during the Falklands War-an episode that shows both how complex the allies' relationship has been during times of crisis and how resilient it can be afterward
