'With new research on insurgencies and declassified US government documents, the author shows how the siphoning of resources to Iraq left NATO forces in Afghanistan ineffectual and without support. Through interviews with prominent figures, including ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and commander Karl Eikenberry, the author explains how a growing sanctuary for insurgents in Pakistan and a collapsing government in Kabul were a catalyst for the Taliban resurgence. Examining what has and has not worked so far, the author argues that the US must take a radically new approach to the war if it is to avoid the disastrous fate that has befallen every world power to enter the region.'

'The Afghan National Army (ANA) is critical to the success of the allied efforts in Afghanistan and the ultimate stability of the national government. This monograph assesses the ANA's progress in the areas of recruitment, training, facilities, and operational capability. It draws on a variety of sources : in-country interviews with US, NATO, and Afghan officials; data provided by the US Army; open-source literature; and a series of public opinion surveys conducted in Afghanistan over the past several years. Although the ANA has come a long way since the outset of the recent conflict in the country, the authors conclude that coalition forces, especially those of the United States, will play a crucial role in Afghanistan for the foreseeable future, particularly in light of the increased threat from

'Arms purchases are among the most expensive, technologically challenging and politically controversial decisions made by modern-day governments. Superpower spending on weapons systems is widely analysed and discussed but defence procurement in smaller industrial countries involves different issues which receive less attention. This volume presents a general framework for understanding smaller country defence procurement supported by country, industry and project studies. Part I provides a general framework for analysing smaller country defence procurement, focusing on the formation of national defence capabilities. The framework is then used to analyse issues around the development of procurement demand, the characteristics of defence industry supply, contracts and relationships between buyers and sellers, and government policy for defence procurement and industry development. Part II focuses on defence procurement in seven smaller industrial nations with widely varying historical and political settings (Australia, Canada, Israel, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and The Netherlands). Part III consists of two Australian case studies of the procurement issues raised in, respectively, the naval shipbuilding industry and a major, complex defence project.'

This volume is providing a well rounded perspective on the current issues surrounding the expansion of the NWP, promotion of human development and sustainability of the Inuit and northern First Nations, the on-going and essential role of the Canadian Arctic Rangers, and the different perspectives held by both Canadian and American governments on the development of the Arctic.'

It has become clear that it is not solely a technical issue, to be resolved by scientists, but a political issue with political implications at all levels of global governance.

Page 8 Indeed, some may argue that few long-term problems in international affairs are more important than this one. The purpose of this book is to reveal and apply some of the latest thinking on the implications of climate change for international affairs, and to explore how various proposals for tackling climate change will affect interstate relations in coming years.'

Page 9 the crisis unfolded using the author's personal recollection, declassified documents, and many memoirs written by senior CIA officers and others who were participants.

Tomescu, Odette 'This policy brief analyzes the importance of the Wider Black Sea Region (WBSR) for European security. The authors first try to answer the following question : what are the stakes for the EU ? In the second section of this brief, they examine strategies and policies that various state actors have developed during the past decade

Page 10 according to their interests in the Black Sea region. Stability in this region depends largely on the interactions, convergences and divergences between a wide range of international and regional actors (Russia, other bordering countries, NATO, EU, the United States, international organizations). The third part of this policy brief underlines existing frameworks of cooperation that have been established in the Black Sea Region and evaluates their contribution to the democratization and stabilization of the region. Finally, the authors emphasize the challenges and opportunities of a Euro-Atlantic strategy towards the WBSR, which may be the only workable approach to efficiently solve the various security problems of the region.'

(Contemporary Security Studies) ID number: 80022709 Type: M Library Location: 448 /00076 ISBN: 9780415497237 Author(s): 1. Bengtsson, Rikard Bibliography: p. 152-170. Includes index. 'This book attempts to conceptualize EU action in the field of regional security. Drawing on constructivist theory, the framework of the book focuses on the meeting - or 'interface' - of actors, a situation reflecting the mutual construction of self, other and situation. The analytical framework applied here to European security politics is potentially open-ended as the theoretical logic that informs the framework is general and abstract in character, and not limited to state actors in an international setting. The empirical aim of this book is to further our understanding of the EU as a security actor in a regional perspective. The book thus links IR scholarship with that of EU studies. By analysing a number of different interfaces (such as with Russia, the United States, and other states), we can learn more about the circumstances and preconditions and with what resources and power the EU acts in a regional security setting.'

'The author examines here transnational rebel organizations in civil conflicts, using cross-national data sets as well as in-depth case studies. He shows how external Contra bases in Honduras and Costa Rica facilitated the Nicaraguan civil war and how the Rwandan civil war spilled over into the Democratic Republic of the Congo, fostering a regional war. He also looks at other cross-border insurgencies, such as those of the Kurdish PKK and Taliban fighters in Pakistan. The author reveals that external sanctuaries feature in the political history of more than half of the world's armed insurgencies since 1945 and are also important in fostering state-to-state conflicts.'

(Routledge Global Institutions ; 36) ID number: 80022717 Type: M Library Location: 355.4 /01609 ISBN: 9780415483407 Author(s): 1. Tavares, Rodrigo Bibliography: p. 198-200. Includes index. 'Regional organizations are an inescapable feature of global politics. Virtually all countries in the world are members of at least one regional or other intergovernmental organization. The involvement of international organizations in the realm of regional peace and security, and their cooperation in this domain with the United Nations, has reached an unprecedented level. Regional organizations have traditionally been formed around economic, political, or environmental objectives; however, over the last decades these organizations have gradually penetrated into the security sphere and developed their capacities in conflict prevention, peacekeeping, or post-war reconstruction. In Europe, Africa, Asia, or the Americas, regional and other intergovernmental organizations have been concurrently empowered by the UN and their own member states to

Page 12 maintain peace and security. Despite suffering from important discrepancies in both their mandates and capacities, regional organizations have become indisputable actors that play a role from the outbreak of a crisis to the reconstruction efforts in the aftermath of a conflict.'

ISAF NATO and Stabilisation Operations beyond Afghanistan / by Bjorn Olav Knutsen. - Kjeller, NOR : Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, 2009. 29 p.; 30 cm. ID number: 80022841 Type: M Library Location: 496.3 /00388 Author(s): 1. Knutsen, Bjorn Olav Paper presented at the International Studies Association (ISA) 50th Annual Convention, New York, 15-18 February 2009. Panel on Stabilisation and Civil-Military Cooperation in Unstable Environments. Bibliography: p. 27-29. 'This paper analyses how the internal cohesion in the Alliance has been affected by the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The NATO discourse is dominated by claims that NATO's future lies in the success of ISAF, especially when it comes to the stabilisation of the security situation in the country. Hence, this paper analyses this claim more closely in order to uncover to what extent there is a common view of NATO's way ahead and its role in the security architecture. It identifies whether there are substantial differences among members of the Alliance on the application of force and their motivations for participating in ISAF. Do they regard the self-defence clause in Article 5 in the Treaty as far more important than participating in risky peace operations far away from home ? Can we find a dividing line between the 'old' and 'new' NATO members ? The paper therefore tries to answer these questions by investigating the discourse in some leading NATO countries.'

The authors consider what role NATO should play in the future of UK and European defence and whether the Alliance has a viable, long-term future. They examine the way in which NATO manages its operations and considers whether the Alliance is militarily configured and financially resourced to handle situations like Afghanistan, and the lessons of NATO's operational deployments. They consider the impact of NATO's performance in Afghanistan on the future of the Alliance and analyse the progress made to date in improving NATO's military capabilities. They highlight the capability gaps which remain and consider how these can best be addressed. They consider the existing division of risk within the Alliance and the issue of national caveats and address the challenges of Alliance burden-sharing and defence spending.

They analyse the role of, and prospects for, the European Security and Defence Policy and consider what implications a growing role for the European Union in defence and security might have for the long-term future of NATO.'

'Leading experts investigate the roles and salience of nuclear weapons in the national security strategies of twelve countries and the ASEAN states, and their implications for security and stability in a broadly defined Asian security region that includes the Middle East. The study also investigates the prospects for nuclear terrorism in Asia. A chief conclusion of the study is that nuclear weapons influence national security strategies in fundamental ways and that deterrence continues to be the dominant role and strategy for the employment of nuclear weapons. Offensive and defensive strategies may increase in salience but will not surpass the deterrence function. Another major conclusion is that although there could be destabilizing situations, on balance, nuclear weapons have reinforced security and stability in the Asian security region by assuaging national security concerns, strengthening deterrence and the status quo, and preventing the outbreak and escalation of major hostilities.'

PAKISTAN--POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT Transforming Pakistan : Ways Out of Instability / by Hilary Synnott. - Abingdon, UK : Routledge, 2009. 199 p. : ill.; 24 cm. (Adelphi ; 406) ID number: 80022701 Type: M Library Location: 323 /01159 ISBN: 9780415562607 Author(s): 1. Synnott, Hilary 'Can Pakistan find a way out of violent instability ? How severe are the problems of this strategically crucial country, and how much of a threat do they pose beyond Pakistan's borders ? Has Pakistan become an ungovernable failed state ? The author draws on his experience of Pakistan to argue that any strategy for addressing the country's problems requires a nuanced understanding of its turbulent history, the failings of successive governments and the weaknesses of core institutions. He sheds light on the role of Pakistan's army and its intelligence service in the power-play of domestic politics, and looks at how the army has used religion and the issue of Kashmir to maintain its own influence, often with disastrous consequences for the security of Pakistan and the wider world. The author rigorously analyses developments in Pakistan's volatile tribal regions, little understood in the West despite their profound implications for regional and international security, and examines the role of past events - especially since 11 September 2001 - in generating the animosity that many Pakistanis feel towards the West today. Where does Pakistan go from here ? Emphasising that there are no easy answers, the author explores how concerned outsiders might finally succeed in building durable relationships with Pakistan, and help to stabilise a country that has struggled with disordered politics and chronic insecurity since independence in 1947.'

'Contractors are big business and a big part of war, with businesses taking upon themselves many tasks previously designated to the armed forces. By 2007, there were over 100,000 individuals working on US contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan - versus about 160,000 US combat troops. By some estimates, contractors account for some 40 percent of the costs of running operations. This important work examines how that came to be, as well as answering a number of critical questions : How have Congress, public interest groups, and other parties dealt with the issue ? How is the marketplace affecting the American way of war ? What impact will this have on force structure ? How will the growing involvement of the private sector influence such matters as the all-volunteer force and the procurement and maintenance of advanced warfighting systems ?'

'This book examines the controversial role of military contractors in the reconstruction of Iraq. When 'Operation Iraqi Freedom' was launched in March 2003, few, if any, of the Coalition's political leaders could have envisaged that within a few months the number of private contractors engaged to keep the troops supplied would exceed their actual combat strength. The alternative 'army' was not only to become the largest assemblage of contractors in living memory to accompany a military force into a war zone, but was also responsible for a fundamental transformation of how military logistics were delivered. This book explains how and why the US and UK governments

Page 16 became so dependent upon military contractors during the war in Iraq. It also examines the ramifications this new dependency will have on future military operations, as the conflict in Iraq has shown that private contractors are now indispensable to the attainment of both the military and political objectives of war. Finally, the book discusses what advantages and disadvantages these companies have brought to the reconstruction of Iraq, and what lessons need to be learned from this experience.'

'Several competing mythologies have developed about the role of Ronald Reagan in the end of the Cold War. On one side is the view that through confrontation and pugnacity Reagan 'won' America's four-decade-long conflict with the Soviet Union. Proponents of an opposing view hold that the fortieth president was merely lucky or utterly irrelevant. The aim of the author in this book is to reach beyond these simple formulas, to challenge old stereotypes about Reagan, and, through a combination of new interviews and newly available documents, to look back at what actually happened.'

'The author uses foreign relations as the lens through which to tell the story of America's rise from thirteen disparate colonies along the Atlantic coast to the world's greatest superpower. He documents America's interaction with other peoples and nations, a story of stunning successes and sometimes tragic failures, captured in a fast-paced narrative that illuminates the central importance of foreign relations to the existence and survival of the nation, and highlights its ongoing impact on the lives of ordinary citizens. He shows how policymakers defined American interests broadly to include territorial expansion, access to growing markets, and the spread of an 'American way' of life, and how much America's expansion as a nation also owes to the adventurers and explorers, the merchants and captains of industry, the missionaries and diplomats, who discovered or charted new lands, developed new avenues of commerce, and established and defended the nation's interests in foreign lands.'

'This study offers a new assessment of US-Iranian relations by exploring the rationale, effectiveness and consequences of American policy towards Iran from the aftermath of the 1979 Iranian Revolution to the present day. As a key country in a turbulent region and the recipient of some of the most inconsistent treatment meted out during and after the Cold War, Iran has been both one of America's closest allies and an 'Axis of Evil' or 'rogue' state, targeted by covert action and contained by sanctions, diplomatic isolation and the threat of overt action. Moreover, since the attacks of 11 September 2001, Iran has played a significant role in the 'War on Terror' while also incurring American wrath for its links to international terror and its alleged pursuit of a nuclear-weapons programme.'

'This book aims to examine the conditions under which the decision to use force can be reckoned as legitimate in international relations. Drawing on communicative action theory, it provides a provocative answer to the hotly contested question of how to understand the legitimacy of the use of force in international politics. The use of force is one of the most critical and controversial aspects of international politics. Scholars and policy-makers have long tried to develop meaningful standards capable of restricting the use of force to a legally narrow yet morally defensible set of circumstances. However, these standards have recently been challenged by concerns over how the international community should react to gross human rights abuses or to terrorist threats. This book argues that current legal and moral standards on the use of force are unable to deal effectively with these challenges. The author argues that the concept of 'deliberative legitimacy', understood as the non-coerced commitment of an actor to abide by a decision reached through a process of communicative action, offers the most appropriate framework for addressing this problem. The theoretical originality and empirical value of the concept of deliberative legitimacy comes fully into force with the examination of two of the most severe international crises from the post-Cold War period : the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo and the 2003 US military action against Iraq.'

Murgatroyd, Clive As the Arctic ice melts, the polar region is becoming increasingly exposed to the political tussles of resource exploitation.

Bitzinger, Richard A. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific, enabled by rising defence budgets and aggressive marketing by major arms-producing states, have since the middle of the 1990s greatly expanded their war fighting capacities beyond the mere modernisation of their armed forces. While such purchases are intended to aid deterrence and defence, they may have the unintended consequences of undermining regional security and stability by contributing to arms races or arms competitions leading to a classical 'security dilemma'.

Page 22 CHINA--FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS--AFRICA China's New Security Strategy for Africa / by Jonathan Holslag., 2009. (PARAMETERS, vol. 39, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 23-37.) ID Number: JA026096 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Holslag, Jonathan The author paints here a picture of an evolving People's Republic of China that is evermore dependent on the resource-abundant African continent. This dependency and the associated security challenges have placed the PRC as Africa's prominent economic partner. The author examines several of the many sources of uncertainty associated with China's aspirations in Africa to conclude that the nation will, for the immediate future, continue to rely on a strategy of security cooperation with its partner nations.

CHINA--FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS--PERSIAN GULF REGION China's Policy in the Persian Gulf / by Mahmoud Ghafouri., 2009. (MIDDLE EAST POLICY, vol. 16, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 80-92.) ID Number: JA026102 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Ghafouri, Mahmoud Since 1996, China has become a net importer of crude oil, currently the second-largest consumer in the world after the United States and the their-largest importer of oil after the United States and Japan. Thus, it is natural that China should turn to the Persian Gulf region, with the world's largest proven crude-oil and natural-gas reserves, to provide energy for the world's most dynamic economy. To analyze China's policy in the Persian Gulf, the author starts with an examination of China's production and consumption of energy and the prospects for its future imports of crude oil and natural gas. This is followed by an examination of China's relationships with the states of the region. Finally, Sino-American rivalry in the region is discussed.

ID Number: JA026146 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Jakobson, Linda The increasingly multi-faceted engagement of China in Africa is part of China's growing global reach. Chinese diplomats strive to promote an image of a peacefully rising power, whereas Chinese businessmen seek natural resources and export markets. As a result, those responsible for Chinese foreign policy strategic thinking struggle to accommodate the needs of this diverse group of actors in Africa, well aware that as a major power, Beijing is expected to address

In Sudan, in particular, China's credibility as a responsible nation is questioned. This article provides a concise overview of China's evolving diplomacy toward Africa, highlighting the Sino-Sudan relationship, with the aim of shedding light on the drivers and constraints on Beijing's motives and actions on the African continent. The article assesses some of the implications of Beijing's policy choices in Africa for its international relations.

ID Number: JA026137 Type: ART The China-US relationship is one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world, and it is progressively maturing. Non-traditional security threats are expanding the shared interests of China and the US. The two countries have developed more realistic views of each other than they had decades ago, and this is making military relations more practical. The two are also interdependent in the economic realm, whether they like it or not, and therefore must work together to succeed in handling the current economic crisis. Connected to this economic challenge is that of climate change, an issue which the US must handle wisely in its relations with China. In addition, traditional security and peace issues will remain important, some even sensitive and difficult, in relations in the near future. The improved relationship towards which China and the US are moving will contribute substantially not only to bilateral relations but also to global peace and order.

CHINA--MILITARY POLICY China's Growing Military Capability in Search of a Strategy / by Arthur S. Ding., 2009. (INTERNATIONAL SPECTATOR, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 95-110.) ID Number: JA026141 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Ding, Arthur S. China's rapid military modernisation in the past decade has raised concern over when and how China will use its military power in the future. There is no definite answer to this concern. However, the new course in Taiwan, urgent non-traditional security issues, the domestic agenda for re-allocating resources to development of a 'harmonious society', and the looming economic crisis could shape China's foreign policy goals so that it continues the engagement approach adopted in the past decade.

CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS--CHINA Is There a Civil-Military Gap in China's Peaceful Rise ? / by Andrew Scobell., 2009. (PARAMETERS, vol. 39, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 4-22.) ID Number: JA026095 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Scobell, Andrew This article examines the disconnect between China's military leadership and its civilian authorities. The fact that both constituencies play a crucial role in aiding and overseeing the nation's 'peaceful rise' on the global stage makes this 'gap' an even greater presage. The author's detailed analysis of recent policies and actions by the Chinese military reveals a culture that supports and encourages the bellicose rhetoric and overzealous acts. He cautions that if the Chinese are sincere in their announced desire to obtain a peaceful rise in world stature, the words and deeds of their military need to be more in keeping with proclaimed policies and aspirations of the civilian leadership.

ID Number: JA026155 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Freedman, Lawrence During the Cold War deterrence worked better in practice than in theory. It became an article of faith that great power war was virtually unthinkable because of the consequences, yet this conclusion was reached without ever working through the scenarios. Today, in a world of shrinking great power arsenals and proliferating small arsenals, we may now be moving away from the models which served us well during the Cold War. The author interrogates the assumptions which underpinned strategic deterrence and casts an eye on a more ambiguous nuclear future.

EU--BELARUS Changing Belarus ? The Limits of EU Governance in Eastern Europe and the Promise of Partnership / by Giselle Bosse, Elena Korosteleva-Polglase., 2009. (COOPERATION AND CONFLICT, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 143-165.) ID Number: JA026117 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Bosse, Giselle 2. Korosteleva-Polglase, Elena Since the end of the Cold War, European Union efforts in transforming Central and Eastern Europe have been enormously successful. This article takes stock of recent developments in EU-Belarus relations and seeks to explain the very limited leverage of the EU over the country. The authors first examine the EU's relations with Belarus through the theoretical lens of external governance. By taking for granted the EU's ability to transfer its norms and values, however, the governance perspective does not account for the EU's very limited success in changing Belarus. They therefore revisit Michael Smith's notion of 'boundaries of order' to highlight the impact of legal/institutional, transactional, cultural and geopolitical factors on EU-Belarus relations.

EU--CFSP CFSP/ESDP and the New EU Treaty / by Zerrin Savasan., 2007. (PERCEPTIONS, vol. 12, no. 2 - 3, Summer - Autumn 2007, p. 1-25.) ID Number: JA026163 Type: ART Author(s): 1.

(PERCEPTIONS, vol. 12, no. 2 - 3, Summer - Autumn 2007, p. 49-70.) ID Number: JA026164 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Eylemer, Sedef 2. Semsit, Suhal Securitisation on the issue of the migration in Euro-Mediterranean relations has mainly started in the 1990s. Due to this securitisation, the issue has been perceived as a 'threatening' factor especially for the public order, cultural identity, and the domestic stability in the EU. Imbalanced securitised approach of the EU and increasing militarisation of border controls have created a self-reinforcing dynamic rather than limiting the migratory pressure from the southern Mediterranean countries. The tendency of the EU to securitise migration issues both in its internal and external affairs, putting most emphasis on irregular migration and readmission agreements, rather than the other aspects of visa facilitation and legal migration might form an impediment to the success of cooperation with Mediterranean countries. What the EU needs to regulate migration in the Mediterranean is a more cooperative approach rather than the overemphasis of restrictive migration policies.

EU--ESDP--SWEDEN Sweden and Development of the European Security and Defence Policy : A Bi-Directional Process of Europeanization / by Fredrick Lee-Ohlsson., 2009. (COOPERATION AND CONFLICT, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 123-142.) ID Number: JA026116 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Lee-Ohlsson, Fredrick Since its creation in 1999, the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) has evolved rapidly. This new policy area presented Sweden, once a neutral state, with a challenge to its security policy tradition. In responding to the challenge, the Swedish government was initially reluctant about the ESDP, but today has become one of its staunchest supporters and active members. The author examines here Swedish participation in the ESDP since its inception, i.e. the impact Sweden has had on the ESDP, but also the extent to which the ESDP has influenced Swedish security policy. Furthermore, he seeks to shed light on why the Swedish government has become so active and supportive of the ESDP despite initial reluctance.

Page 28 HIZBALLAH (LEBANON) Reformation of a Terrorist Group : Hezbollah as a Lebanese Political Party / by Krista E. Wiegand., 2009. (STUDIES IN CONFLICT AND TERRORISM, vol. 32, no. 8, August 2009, p. 669-680.) ID Number: JA026114 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Wiegand, Krista E. Despite the classification of Hezbollah as a terrorist group by several states, Hezbollah is recognized as a legitimate political party within Lebanon. The purpose of this article is to probe at the reasons why Hezbollah was able to achieve its current status in the Lebanese government while it still maintains a powerful, well armed military branch that has used force recently to influence Lebanese politics. An examination of Hezbollah's life cycle suggests that two major factors were decisive : 1) Hezbollah's political leverage over the majority government, and 2) choices by Hezbollah's leaders to moderate their objectives to achieve domestic political goals.

ICELAND--NATIONAL SECURITY Iceland's Post-American Security Policy, Russian Geopolitics and the Arctic Question / by Valur Ingimundarson., 2009.

Ingimundarson, Valur Once a Cold War prize, Iceland's geopolitical position has been marginalised since the break-up of the Soviet Union, as underscored by the US military withdrawal. Currently grappling with an economic disaster, Iceland has focused on societal security instead of territorial defence. Yet the scramble for the Arctic has revived the Northern dimension - Icelandic Arctic discourses now play on the prospects of a renewed strategic relevance in a future Great Game, wrought by the impact of climate change in the region.

INDIA--FOREIGN RELATIONS--CHINA India, Chindia, or an Alternative ? Opportunities for American Strategic Interests in Asia / by Breena E. Coates., 2009. (COMPARATIVE STRATEGY, vol. 28, no. 3, July - August 2009, p. 271-285.) ID Number: JA026113 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Coates, Breena E. There is an undeniable power surge in Asia, primarily in India and China. Speculation about a strategic joining of forces of India and China into a muscular economic alliance known as 'Chindia' has been floated. Despite once being bitter enemies, the two nations have engaged in a recent detente with each other. Building upon each other's strengths helps advance this cause. However, until now the Chindia concept has appeared to be more theoretical than practical in nature because of lingering boundary issues between the nations. Such an alliance, however, cannot be summarily dismissed. This paper focuses upon how India and China partnering with the United States could form a transregional triangle that would tighten America's grip on power in the Asia-Pacific Region.

Page 29 INDIA--FOREIGN RELATIONS--PAKISTAN India versus Pakistan : From Partition to the Present / by Rahul Roy-Chaudhury., 2009. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 154, no. 4, August 2009, p. 60-65.) ID Number: JA026157 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Roy-Chaudhury, Rahul Mutual trust is in short supply between South Asia's two major rivals, India and Pakistan. The nuclear powers are bitterly divided on a host of issues, none more (seemingly) intractable than the future of Kashmir. Yet, as the author explains, their nuclear arsenals have probably helped steer both countries away from all-out conventional war and even led to a thaw in bilateral relations. The key to better relations in the future will be how effectively India and Pakistan can cooperate to deter non-state actors from carrying out major terrorist attacks.

INSURGENCY Reframing the Historical Problematic of Insurgency : How the Professional Military Literature Created a New History and Missed the Past / by Jonathan E. Gumz., 2009. (JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC STUDIES, vol. 32, no. 4, August 2009, p. 553-588.) ID Number: JA026120 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Gumz, Jonathan E. This article explores how current professional military scholarship on insurgency and counterinsurgency (COIN) uses history to frame its arguments. It then attempts to reframe the current historical problematic surrounding insurgency. First, the article shows that the historical narrative of professional military scholarship on insurgency and its theoretical grounding are highly flawed. They are both parochial and profoundly ahistorical. Second, the paper constructs an alternative narrative of insurgency beginning from the ideas of the German legal philosopher Carl Schmitt, returning insurgency to history. This alternative narrative emphasizes the critical role played by the fall of European public law. As a consequence of this and other historically contingent events, war in Europe lost its relative autonomy from society during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In turn, insurgency became an increasingly prominent and normatively accepted form of warfare by the mid-twentieth century.

IRAQ WAR, 2003---PRESS COVERAGE Mass Media and the Battle for Public Opinion in the Global War on Terror : Violence and Legitimacy in Iraq / by Greg Simons., 2008. (PERCEPTIONS, vol. 13, no. 1 - 2, Spring - Summer 2008, p. 79-91.) ID Number: JA026165 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Simons, Greg This paper looks at a number of issues surrounding the current American involvement in Iraq. The thorny issue of mass media, and the relationship maintained between them and the various actors involved in Iraq is examined. Certain key issues are examined in some detail, such as : the creation of 'them' and 'us', the contemporary notion of 'just war' in the Western sense, the increasing level of violence in Iraq, the issue of civil war and its implications, and the problem of lack of accountability and credibility.

ID Number: JA026144 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Pollack, Kenneth M. After the success of the surge, everyone believed Iraq was won. But Baghdad is once again on the brink of civil war. The old Iraqi politics of backroom deals, corruption and violence are alive and well. And as Prime Minister Maliki attempts to consolidate his power in the lead-up to the January elections, America could be all that stands in his way. An early exit may look like a bright idea now, but Iraq will be lost to us forever.

ISLAM AND POLITICS--AZERBAIJAN Islamism in Azerbaijan : How Potent ? / by Julie Wilhelmsen., 2009. (STUDIES IN CONFLICT AND TERRORISM, vol. 32, no. 8, August 2009, p. 726-742.) ID Number: JA026115 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Wilhelmsen, Julie Azerbaijan is deemed to be the most secular of all post-Soviet Muslim countries. Nevertheless, growing independent Islamic activism, inspired by the international Islamic discourse and helped by foreign Islamic actors, and combined with a repressive regime response to this activity carried out under the banner of antiterrorism may contribute to make Islamism a potent factor in Azerbaijan. This article maps out independent Shi'a and Sunni activism and regime response in Azerbaijan. By assessing the dynamics between these two factors the article draws conclusions on the potential for politicization and radicalization of Islam in Azerbaijan.

ID Number: JA026145 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Green, Michael J. Kim Jong II is dying. Sons, generals and statesmen vie for his throne. With an impressive arsenal of chemical-, biological-, and nuclear-weapons programs - not to mention a penchant for proliferation, smuggling, drug dealing and counterfeiting - North Korea will not collapse quietly. The United States must deftly manage Pyongyang's implosion. If we fail, the fall of the house of Kim could end in a peninsular war or worse.

(INTERNATIONAL SPECTATOR, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 41-57.) ID Number: JA026138 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Sheen, Seongho South Korea's Lee Myong-bak government has adopted a new East Asia strategy to cope with the changing security environment on the Korean peninsula, as well as in Northeast Asia. Departing from its traditional dependence on the bilateral alliance with the United States, South Korea now seeks a diversified strategy which includes upgrading the alliance with the US to a 'strategic alliance', developing a 'strategic cooperative partnership' with China and promoting a multilateral security mechanism in Northeast Asia. Although it is not clear how South Korea will handle the contradictory elements and the complexity of the new strategy, it provides a more realistic approach to dealing with a possible North Korean contingency and the question of Korean unification, which should and will eventually be shaped by the two Koreas' choices.

MILITARY INTERROGATION--USA Enhancing Interrogation : Advancing a New Agenda / by John A. Wahlquist., 2009. (PARAMETERS, vol. 39, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 38-51.) ID Number: JA026097 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Wahlquist, John A. Perhaps there has not been a more emotionally charged topic in recent years than that resultant of the interrogation techniques utilized in the examination of detainees. The author draws on his extensive experience as an interrogator and strategic debriefer to argue that tougher interrogation techniques do not necessarily equal better intelligence. He challenges the advocates from the previous US Administration who continue to imply extraordinary circumstances demand exceptional measures. He advocates for the funding and development of an objective research program designed to develop appropriate measures for the conduct of 'intelligence interviewing'. The author believes that President Obama's executive order on interrogation provides the ideal starting point for an end to abusive practices and the initiation of a new agenda for intelligence interviewing, capable of increasing our ability to collect accurate information and also ensuring the humane treatment of detainees.

Page 32 NATION-BUILDING Nation Building or Nation Splitting ? Political Transition and the Dangers of Violence / by Andrea Kathryn Talentino., 2009. (TERRORISM AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE, vol. 21, no. 3, July - September 2009, p. 378-400.) ID Number: JA026089 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Talentino, Andrea Kathryn Internationally-directed nation building combines great rhetorical promise with very mixed practical outcomes. In spite of considerable optimism on the part of international actors, and in spite of often substantial desire for a functioning government among targeted populations, it has not clearly succeeded in building states or nations. The question is why ? While many authors look to the weaknesses of international efforts for explanation, the answer may lie instead in the difficult process of transition itself. Although transforming political and social interactions is often necessary in post-conflict contexts, doing so can intensify vulnerabilities and uncertainties that prevent reforming governments from establishing legitimacy. That can in turn enable the fragmentation of political authority and become a sort of worst case scenario for nation building. International actors have shown no ability to counteract fragmentation and in some cases may unwittingly aid its entrenchment. One reason for this is that nation building strategies seldom take account of the hazards of transition, particularly the ways in which international preferences and domestic transition to assess how and when international efforts serve to unite or splinter state authority. It argues that the capacity to improve outcomes rests in better understanding the dynamics of transition, particularly the group vulnerabilities that reform exacerbates. Where nation building cannot counteract fragmentation it cannot succeed, but will serve rather to create contexts where political violence is both easier and more likely.

NATO An Agenda for NATO : Toward a Global Security Web / by Zbigniew Brzezinski., 2009. (FOREIGN AFFAIRS, vol. 88, no. 5, September - October 2009, p. 2-20.) ID Number: JA026128 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Brzezinski, Zbigniew In the course of its 60 years, NATO has ended the 'civil war' within the West for transoceanic and European supremacy, institutionalized the United States' commitment to the defense of Europe, and secured the peaceful termination of the Cold War. What next ? To live up to its potential, the alliance should become the hub of a globe-spanning web of regional cooperative-security undertakings.

Enduring without an Enemy : NATO's Realist Foundation / by Jonathan Sireci, Damon Coletta., 2009. (PERSPECTIVES, vol. 17, no. 1, 2009, p. 57-82.) ID Number: JA026094 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Sireci, Jonathan 2. Coletta, Damon NATO's present raison d'etre is rooted in its members' national interest having defensive and offensive elements, consisting in both security and autonomy. With security from other great powers all but assured, members seek a greater offensive capacity to shape the international environment. The United States wants legitimacy from its European partners in order to facilitate offensive operations while

Page 33 several European states desire military capabilities for force projection. NATO as an institution is well-suited for hashing out the terms of this exchange, but NATO, as a realist's bargain, portends a troubled marriage, in which levels of anxiety and animosity can best be reduced if the United States brings its own sources of legitimacy to the relationship.

ID Number: JA026131 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Malhotra, Deepak In deciding whether to impose preconditions before negotiating with an enemy, governments should make sure two criteria are satisfied : that the opponent is capable of meeting the demands and that its doing so will not weaken its future leverage. Short of this, discarding preconditions altogether is often a wiser approach.

NETWORK CENTRIC WARFARE Caught in the Net : Lessons from the Financial Crisis for a Networked Future / by Gautam Mukunda, William J. Troy., 2009. (PARAMETERS, vol. 39, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 63-76.) ID Number: JA026099 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Mukunda, Gautam 2. Troy, William J. The authors contrast lessons learned from the recent financial crisis with the implementation of the network-centric warfare (NCW) within and outside America's military. They draw on the fact that much of the inspiration for NCW came from the business world, especially the technological and organizational changes associated with information technology. While recognizing there are significant differences between business and war, the authors argue that there are compatibilities. They use the financial crisis to illuminate three potential dangers inherent in the implementation of NCW. They recommend a more reasoned approach in preparing the American military for its networked future, without abandoning NCW.

ID Number: JA026143 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Ikle, Fred Charles The hope that we might one day rid the world of nuclear weapons is as old as the technology itself. Atomic destruction has always seemed too great a risk to bear. Yet a nuclear-free world is nothing but a dream - world government, a Praetorian Guard and effective ways to punish rogue nations are almost insurmountable prerequisites. Maintaining our long-held tradition of nonuse may just be enough to keep us safe.

The People's Republic of China is the only member of the P-5 that is increasing both the quantity and quality of its nuclear forces. This nuclear buildup is in the context of military buildup that is growing faster than any nation in the world. The China buildup is aimed at providing it a capability to dominate the Far East. The US is regarded as the main enemy and Chinese preparations are aimed at fighting a major war against the United States.

PAKISTAN--ETHNIC RELATIONS Pakistan : Can US Policy Save the Day ? / by Mustafa Malik., 2009. (MIDDLE EAST POLICY, vol. 16, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 138-148.) ID Number: JA026104 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Malik, Mustafa The author explores here the threats to Pakistan's political stability, foremost among them the ethnocentrism that is inherent in the multiethnic postcolonial state. Punjabi ethnocentrism, in particular, has played a pivotal role in exacerbating Pakistan's separatist movements and impeding the democratic process. Furthermore, Washington has supported Pakistan's dictatorial regimes and used the country's military forces to promote US foreign-policy goals. He also discusses the impact on Pakistan's stability of the continuing 'war on terror'. Finally, the author looks into the steps the United States might take to help shore up Pakistan's troubled political and economic institutions.

Page 35 PERSIAN GULF REGION--NATIONAL SECURITY The Evolution of Internal and External Security in the Arab Gulf States / by Kristian Coates Ulrichsen., 2009. (MIDDLE EAST POLICY, vol. 16, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 39-58.) ID Number: JA026101 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Ulrichsen, Kristian Coates This paper examines how the concept of 'Gulf security' is evolving as internal political and socioeconomic changes in the Gulf states interact with the processes of globalization and the impact of international events in this volatile region. Starting from the basic assumption of 'regime security', it first outlines the parameters that guide ruling elites in the six member-states of the Gulf Cooperation Council in constructing local and regional security agendas. The paper then focuses on a range of current and evolving threats to security to draw the distinction between the 'internal' and 'external' dimensions of security and how these relate to each other.

Bahgat, Gawdat Since the demise of the Soviet Union, Central Asia has emerged as a major player in the global energy market. The region holds substantial oil and gas reserves. The development of these resources and the choosing of transit routes have been subject to intense competition among external powers, particularly Europe, Russia and China. This essay examines the conflicting strategies pursed by Brussels, Moscow and Beijing. It argues that these global powers would benefit more by promoting political stability and economic prosperity in Central Asia and the Caucasus.

Enemy of Humanity : The Anti-Piracy Discourse in Present-Day Anti-Terrorism / by Mikkel Thorup., 2009. (TERRORISM AND POLITICAL VIOLENCE, vol. 21, no. 3, July - September 2009, p. 401-411.) ID Number: JA026090 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Thorup, Mikkel This article explores the anti-pirate discourse as a feature of the present war on terror and the more general connection between state and non-state violence. The anti-pirate discourse in ancient and early modern history is explored where piracy was one of the main threats coming from the private use of force. The anti-piracy reference is used in the present anti-terror discourse to pen the way for a more militaristic approach to fighting terrorism centered around the concept of 'enemy of humanity'. Naming the enemy as someone outside the reach of reason and of conventional warfare brands the enemy as fanatically intent on destruction for destruction's sake and a state's intention to fight the 'war' dirty as the only route to success.

Coalition Strategy and the Pirates of the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea / by James Kraska., 2009. (COMPARATIVE STRATEGY, vol. 28, no. 3, July - August 2009, p. 197-216.) ID Number: JA026111 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Kraska, James The April 2009 seizure of the US-flagged Moter Vessel Maersk Alabama and its twenty American crew members off the coast of Somalia should signal a change in counterpiracy strategy, away from a focus on major warship deployments by distant state major maritime powers, and toward development of a regional maritime security force constructed around numerous smaller patrol craft. Outside powers should focus on further advancing new international law and policy frameworks, which have become the most significant force multipliers for developing maritime security and offer the most effective approach to counterpiracy in the Horn of Africa. Complementing this effort will require a long-term program of regional maritime-security capacity building to support implementation of the new law and policy approaches. Piracy flourishes at the seams of globalization because jurisdiction is unclear and pirates exploit the inherent isolation of individual vessels and nations. Regional powers in the Horn of Africa have underdeveloped law enforcement and judicial systems and suffer from a severe lack of resources. In this setting, global and regional legal and policy frameworks in the areas of operational maritime security, judicial institutions, and law enforcement will be more effective in addressing

Page 37 piracy than adding another warship from an outside naval power to the equation.

RUSSIA (FEDERATION)--FOREIGN RELATIONS Dilemmas of the 'Middle Continent' : Russian Strategy for Eastern Eurasia / by David Kerr., 2009. (INTERNATIONAL SPECTATOR, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 75-94.) ID Number: JA026140 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Kerr, David Russia did not join the West, nor did it join the East. Russia's commitment to its strategic autonomy and independent foreign and security policy requires the preservation of a 'middle continent' that bridges and transcends Europe and Asia. Russia pursues a restorationist strategy for Eurasia but faces a three-way struggle : for its own autonomy as a great power; for resistance to absorption within the US-centred system of common strategic space; and for management of the dynamics between the emergent powers through negotiation between strategic partnerships and regionalisms. These dilemmas are even more complicated in relation to Eastern Eurasia, and in particular the Sino-Russian relationship.

(JOURNAL OF SOCIAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC STUDIES, vol. 34, no. 2, Summer 2009, p. 154-194) ID Number: JA026091 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Bolton, K. R. The seeming rapport in recent years between Russia and China is one of the foundations of the post-Cold War world. Yet Russo-China friendship is an aberration of history. This article examines whether the Sino-Russian accord is based on secure and enduring foundations, or whether it is a very temporary alliance of convenience that will erupt sooner rather than later into conflict and expanding conflagration throughout Asia. China's past inclination to resort to invasion backgrounds the current suspicion between the two newfound 'friends' amidst China's growing incursions into traditional Russian spheres of influences and even into the Russian Far East. Scenarios for future conflict are examined, particularly possible contentions over water resources. Reference is also made to recent relations between China and the USA.

ID Number: JA026098 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Bauer, John W. Decades ago the Soviets exercised extraordinary influence over North Korea, as witnessed by Josef Stalin's complicity in the North's invasion of South Korea in 1950. The author tells readers that although Russia's interests may have waned or been redirected over the years, they still exist. We should remember that Russia shares a 12-mile border with North Korea, and it is North Korean territory that separates energy-rich Russia from an energy-hungry South Korea. Russia's desire it to not only quench the South's energy-thirst, but to also supply the greater Far East with needed resources. The author believes that Moscow's recent initiative to reinvigorate relations with the North needs to be viewed in the context of Pyongyang's reluctance to permit any rail or pipeline projects. He notes that overcoming North Korean reluctances is not Russia's only concern; China has vowed not to let Russian initiatives aimed at greater economic access to the Korean Peninsula go unchallenged.

RUSSIA (FEDERATION)--MILITARY RELATIONS--ASIA, CENTRAL Russia and the Central Asian Countries : Bilataral Security Cooperation / by Vladimir Paramonov, Oleg Stolpovskiy., 2009.

Stolpovskiy, Oleg Retaining its key role in Central Asia and in the post-Soviet expanse as a whole is one of the main priorities of the Russian Federation's current policy. Carrying out this strategic task was and still is directly related to the development of security cooperation, which, in addition to being of mutual benefit in the difficult regional and international circumstances, also has a significant political and propagandist effect.

Menkhaus, Ken After almost two ignominious decades as the world's foremost failed state, Somalia's prospects had seemed brighter at the start of 2009. Only a few months later, the country is once more in the grip of despair as an emboldened insurgency and a feeble government together frustrate national reconciliation.

TAIWAN--FOREIGN RELATIONS--CHINA New Trends in Taiwan's China Policy / by Christopher R. Hughes., 2009. (INTERNATIONAL SPECTATOR, vol. 44, no. 2, June 2009, p. 59-74.) ID Number: JA026139 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Hughes, Christopher R. Elections for a new parliament and president in Taiwan last year have led to a relaxation in the relationship with China that had become increasingly tense under the previous administration in Taipei. Having come to power on a platform of economic revival, the newly elected president, Ma Ying-jeou, now has to win over a wary public to support his policy of deeper engagement with China. This is becoming increasingly difficult as the economic downturn on both sides of the Taiwan Strait has made it hard to deliver the expected material benefits and the island slides into a severe recession. Meanwhile, Ma faces a growing dilemma as he waits for Beijing to deliver concessions on allowing the island more international space. If this is not forthcoming, domestic politics could force him back towards the more assertive foreign policy developed by his predecessors.

ID Number: JA026156 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Birt, Yahya The Prevent strand of the UK government's counter-terrorist strategy, CONTEST, is politically sensitive and important. The author concentrates on the domestic funding and policing aspects of Prevent, as well as the political debate around what constitutes effective and desirable engagement. He argues that Prevent has become too unfocused, and is in danger of compromising both policing and local service provision by sowing greater mistrust between communities.

URBAN WARFARE Lethal Genes : The Urban Military Imperative and Western Strategy in the Early Twenty-First Century / by Michael Evans., 2009. (JOURNAL OF STRATEGIC STUDIES, vol. 32, no. 4, August 2009, p. 512-552.) ID Number: JA026119 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Evans, Michael This article examines the way in which urban areas have emerged to become one of the most common environments for armed conflict in the early twenty-first century. The essay argues that, while military professionals have sought to improve their understanding of urban military operations in an era of global demographic movement from landscape to cityscape, strategic theory lags behind operational practice. Western strategy currently lacks an effective urban lens with policy-relevant analysis neglected within the strategic studies community. The article seeks to identify how an urban strategic focus can be developed in the new millennium.

ID Number: JA026129 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Joffe, Josef Since the United States first became a global superpower, it has been fashionable to speak of its decline. Today is no different.
