  • A General Model of Illicit Market Suppression A
    ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION 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 David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Washington, DC September 15, 2014 Copyright 2014 by David Joseph Blair. All Rights Reserved. The views expressed in this dissertation do not reflect the official policy or position of the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, or the U.S. Government. ii ALL THE SHIPS THAT NEVER SAILED: A GENERAL MODEL OF TRANSNATIONAL ILLICIT MARKET SUPPRESSION David Joseph Blair, M.P.P. Thesis Advisor: Daniel L. Byman, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This model predicts progress in transnational illicit market suppression campaigns by comparing the relative efficiency and support of the suppression regime vis-à-vis the targeted illicit market. Focusing on competitive adaptive processes, this ‘Boxer’ model theorizes that these campaigns proceed cyclically, with the illicit market expressing itself through a clandestine business model, and the suppression regime attempting to identify and disrupt this model. Success in disruption causes the illicit network to ‘reboot’ and repeat the cycle. If the suppression network is quick enough to continually impose these ‘rebooting’ costs on the illicit network, and robust enough to endure long enough to reshape the path dependencies that underwrite the illicit market, it will prevail. Two scripts put this model into practice. The organizational script uses two variables, efficiency and support, to predict organizational evolution in response to competitive pressures.

  • James Buchanan, Paraguay, and the Water Witch Incident of 1855 Gene Allen Smith and Larry Bartlett
    “A Most Unprovoked, Unwarrantable, and Dastardly Attack”: James Buchanan, Paraguay, and the Water Witch Incident of 1855 Gene Allen Smith and Larry Bartlett En 1853 la marine américaine a envoyé un petit vapeur pour explorer le fleuve de la Plata en Amérique du Sud. Sans diplomate à bord, le commandant de ce bâtiment s'est trouvé pris au piège dans la politique locale et internationale, ayant pour résultat final en 1855 une attaque paraguayenne contre son navire. Le Président James Buchanan, espérant désamorcer la crise sécessionnelle américaine croissante, a expédié la force navale la plus importante jamais montée par le gouvernement des États-Unis dans les années d'avant-guerre civile; il a voulu unir tous les américains contre un ennemi commun. Malheureusement, l'expédition paraguayenne a failli obtenir un tel nationalisme, et le pays a chuté rapidement vers la guerre civile, et l'épisode du Water Witch s'est trouvée passée sous silence. Quartermaster Samuel Chaney, aboard the small wooden U.S. steamer Water Witch, did not realize as the morning dawned on 1 February 1855 that he had fewer than nine hours to live. For two years, Chaney and the vessel had been exploring the Paraná River and its tributaries, making astronomical, weather, and magnetic observations while also collecting geological, zoological, botanical, and mineralogical specimens. The scientific expedition also had commercial overtones that rippled the diplomatic waters of the remote region. At approximately two o’clock that afternoon, as the Water Witch navigated the shallow, difficult channels around Caraya Island, the guns of a Paraguayan fort opened fire on the American naval vessel, mortally wounding Chaney and seriously damaging the small ship.

  • The United States Navy
    THE UNITED STATES NAVY M A R C H 5, 1 8 2 5 The United States Navy in 1825 was a very small institution. More than a decade has passed since the war with Great Britain (1812). Since that time the Navy had been downsized to only twelve notable warships in commission. These and a few smaller vessels did not operate as a fleet. They were assigned to their stations or squadrons where they had to protect American interests. Initially it was the Navy`s policy to send out a one or more ships to handle a situation. But communication was slow at these times. So step by step the Navy established permanent squadrons to be stationed in specific areas. Over the years there would be seven squadrons: Mediterranean Squadron established 1815 Pacific Squadron established 1818 West India Squadron established 1822 Brazil Squadron established 1826 East India Squadron established 1835 Home Squadron established 1842 African Squadron established 1843 Only the Mediterranean Squadron, the Pacific Squadron, and the West India Squadron had been formed up as permanent squadrons by 1825. This site shows the organization of the U.S. Navy when the system of permanent squadrons was only a few years old.
