Background After Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany, thousands of Polish military personnel escaped to France, and later the UK, where they made an invaluable contribution to the Allied war effort. In June 1940, the Polish Government in exile in the UK signed an agreement with the British Government to form an independent Polish Army, Air Force and Navy in the UK, although they remained under British operational command.

Most European countries imposed harsh physical distancing measures to save lives, and an economic downturn then ensued. As the countries of Europe and North America were cau- tiously trying to open up their economies in May 2020, there were questions about the short-term and long-term impact of the coro- navirus pandemic, the most important being whether the spread of the virus would intensify after the summer. With the number of Covid-19 cases rapidly increasing in September and October and with no vaccine available yet, governments in Europe began to impose stricter regulations to slow the spread of the virus.

  • Prospettive Della Sicurezza in Europa
    Ricerca CeMiSS 2008 Prospettive della sicurezza in Europa Direttore Dottor Andrea Grazioso I INDICE Sintesi I Executive Summary IV Introduzione 1 I Trattati e gli Accordi di limitazione degli armamenti e di disarmo 7 Le formazioni multinazionali euro-atlantiche 22 Scenari di confronto 31 Conclusioni 57 Annessi Evoluzione degli apparati militari 65 Spesa militare 120 II Sintesi In questo studio si tenta di individuare alcuni dei più probabili elementi di minaccia alla sicurezza dei Paesi del Continente europeo, sulla base dei trend in atto. Per questo esercizio si è necessariamente dovuto restringere il campo dell’analisi, ed in particolare si è deciso di far riferimento ad un concetto di sicurezza “forte”, quella “ hard security ” che viene convenzionalmente associata alla sicurezza “militare”. Si tratta di una scelta consapevolmente “contro-corrente”, giacché da molti anni ormai sembra essere prediletta l’analisi di un più largo spettro di minacce, e quindi un concetto più allargato di sicurezza. Si è invece ritenuto opportuno tornare a ragionare attorno al problema della “ hard security ”, o della “difesa” in senso tradizionale, perché negli ultimi anni si sono sostanzialmente modificate alcune delle condizioni che avevano permesso di “mettere in naftalina” le idee più tradizionali, associate al periodo della Guerra Fredda. La NATO, e parallelamente la dimensione di sicurezza e difesa dell’Unione Europea, sono cambiate sostanzialmente negli ultimi quindici anni, riorientando la loro finalità sempre più verso la proiezione di stabilità al di fuori del Continente europeo, o dell’area euro-atlantica. La postura militare dei Paesi europei è sostanzialmente cambiata, soprattutto attraverso la riduzione degli apparati militari e la costituzione di un crescente numero di Forze multinazionali.

Whilst squarely directed towards defining “Global Britain’s” strategic relationship with the rest of the world, the review’s conclusions contain much of relevance to other western democ- racies struggling to chart a course against the backdrop of a fast-changing world order. Moreover, both documents provide some insights into the political and technological factors that will influence future global maritime developments.

    APRES MOI LE DELUGE : INDIVIDUALS , INCENTIVES , AND CONFLICT TERMINATION A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By John Furman Daniel, III, B.A. Washington, D.C. August 31, 2010 Copyright 2010 by John Furman Daniel, III All Rights Reserved ii APRES MOI LE DELUGE : INDIVIDUALS , INCENTIVES , AND CONFLICT TERMINATION John Furman Daniel, III, BA. Thesis Advisor: Robert Lieber, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This work analyzes the impact of a leader’s personal security on the conflict termination process and asks three questions. First, why do some states surrender when they still have latent military capabilities? Second, why do some states continue fighting when they have little if any hope of achieving their war aims? Third, why do some states fail to act as rational-utility maximizers during the conflict-termination process? To answer these questions, this work begins by examining the predictions of existing systemic, domestic, and cultural models and then proposes and tests an alternative theory based on the personal security of individual leaders. This alternative theory claims that national leaders are particularly sensitive to their private security needs and, under certain circumstances, will alter their nations’ war aims to protect their personal welfare. Building on this theory, this work proposes and tests six hypotheses for how personal security of national leaders may alter national war aims and conflict termination outcomes. To test these hypotheses, this work performs a qualitative analysis of five cases (Poland during The Russo-Polish War, France during WWII, iii Japan during WWII, Iraq during the Iran Iraq War, and Iraq during Gulf War I) and compares the actual behaviors of leaders with the theoretical predictions of the existing and alternative theories.

Esno April 2017 © 2017 Tyler P. Esno. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Trading with the Enemy: U.S. Economic Policies and the End of the Cold War by TYLER P. ESNO has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Chester J. Pach, Jr. Associate Professor of History Robert Frank Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT ESNO, TYLER P., Ph.D., April 2017, History Trading with the Enemy: U.S. Economic Policies and the End of the Cold War Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach, Jr. This dissertation argues that U.S. economic strategies and policies were effective means to wage the Cold War during its final years and conclude the conflict on terms favorable to the United States. Using recently declassified U.S. and British government documents, among other sources, this analysis reveals that actions in East-West economic relations undermined cooperative U.S.-Soviet relations in the 1970s, contributed to heightened tensions in the early 1980s, and helped renew the U.S.-Soviet dialogue in the late 1980s. Scholars have focused on the role arms control initiatives and political actions played in the end of the Cold War. Arms control agreements, however, failed to resolve the underlying ideological and geopolitical competition between the United States and the Soviet Union.
