  • Water Dispute Escalating Between Iran and Afghanistan
    Atlantic Council SOUTH ASIA CENTER ISSUE BRIEF Water Dispute Escalating between Iran and Afghanistan AUGUST 2016 FATEMEH AMAN Iran and Afghanistan have no major territorial disputes, unlike Afghanistan and Pakistan or Pakistan and India. However, a festering disagreement over allocation of water from the Helmand River is threatening their relationship as each side suffers from droughts, climate change, and the lack of proper water management. Both countries have continued to build dams and dig wells without environmental surveys, diverted the flow of water, and planted crops not suitable for the changing climate. Without better management and international help, there are likely to be escalating crises. Improving and clarifying existing agreements is also vital. The United States once played a critical role in mediating water disputes between Iran and Afghanistan. It is in the interest of the United States, which is striving to shore up the Afghan government and the region at large, to help resolve disagreements between Iran and Afghanistan over the Helmand and other shared rivers. The Atlantic Council Future Historical context of Iran Initiative aims to Disputes over water between Iran and Afghanistan date to the 1870s galvanize the international when Afghanistan was under British control.

Closing 2 War crimes/atrocities are more prevalent in the modem era (1940-present) than in prior periods of history. War by its very nature is a murderous affair, and is often an extremely dirty and cold-blooded activity. After all, the goal of war is to kill the enemy, and in doing so, to force ones will upon another. However, whenever an individual, or a country goes too far and commits acts so inhumane, indefensible, and outside the rules ofwar, these acts are considered war crimes. But what is actually considered a war crime? According to the Geneva Convention: Control Council Law No. 10, a war crime is defined as "atrocities or offences against persons or property constituting violations ofthe laws or customs of war, including, but not limited to murder, ill treatment or deportation to slave labour or for any other purpose, ofcivilian population from occupied territory, murder or ill treatment ofprisoners ofwar or persons on the seas, killing ofhostages, plunder ofpublic or private property, wanton destruction ofcities, towns or villages, or devastation not justified by military necessity" (Friedman 908).

  • US Foreign Policy in Africa
    U.S. Policy in Africa: How Policy Is Made in African Conflict Situations Fall Semester 2017 IAff 2190W – 11 CRN 82270 Monday 3:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Elliott School, Room 212 Ambassador David H. Shinn E-mail: [email protected] Office Hours: Monday 6:15 – 7:00 – Room 303, Elliott School Course Description and Objective This course, using the case study approach, focuses on the decision-making process in African conflict situations in Sierra Leone, Angola, Sudan, Ethiopia/Eritrea, Somalia and Rwanda. The goal is not to gain a detailed understanding of each conflict, but rather to comprehend how the U.S. responded to them and to master the important decision-making factors in each case. The course relies on published materials as well as insights I gained as a result of my involvement in the policy process during three of the conflicts. The course requires considerable student interaction and includes time for extended class discussion, role playing several sequences of the Somalia conflict, class debate on U.S. involvement in Rwanda and a mock briefing on Sudan policy by small groups. It also includes role playing the positions of U.S. personnel at American embassies in Addis Ababa and Asmara on U.S. policy toward the conflict. The overall objective is to obtain a better understanding of the decision-making process while learning about six African conflicts. This is a WID course. Required Reading The required readings are found in four different locations as noted in the syllabus. Some are in E-Journals on the Aladin system.

  • US Nation-Building in Afghanistan
    US Nation-Building in Afghanistan CONOR KEANE US Nation-Building in Afghanistan Why has the US so dramatically failed in Afghanistan since 2001? Dominant explanations have ignored the bureaucratic divisions and personality conlicts inside the US state. This book rectiies this weakness in commentary on Afghani- stan by exploring the signiicant role of these divisions in the US’s dificulties in the country that meant the battle was virtually lost before it even began. The main objective of the book is to deepen readers’ understanding of the impact of bureaucratic politics on nation-building in Afghanistan, focusing primarily on the Bush administration. It rejects the ‘rational actor’ model, according to which the US functions as a coherent, monolithic agent. Instead, internal divisions within the foreign policy bureaucracy are explored, to build up a picture of the internal tensions and contradictions that bedevilled US nation-building efforts. The book also contributes to the vexed issue of whether or not the US should engage in nation-building at all, and if so under what conditions. Dr Conor Keane has degrees in law and politics, and a doctorate on nation- building in Afghanistan from Macquarie University. His research interests include counter terrorism, state building, bureaucratic politics and US foreign policy. He has published several articles on these topics in journals such as Armed Forces & Society and International Peacekeeping.

  • The Christian Science Monitor and the Kidnapping of Jill Carroll CSJ-08
    CSJ‐ 08 ‐ 0012.0 A Life on the Line: The Christian Science Monitor and the kidnapping of Jill Carroll On Saturday, January 7, 2006, Christian Science Monitor Managing Editor Marshall Ingwerson was woken by a 4:30 a.m. phone call—and it was not good news. A Monitor stringer in Baghdad, Jill Carroll, had been kidnapped. No one knew who had taken her, nor whether the kidnappers were motivated by money or ideology. Kidnappings had become only too common in Iraq; journalists in particular were favorite targets. The Monitor itself had even experienced another freelancer kidnapped and killed. Ingwerson knew the paper would have to make decisions quickly. Trying to manage a kidnapping in any context was a challenge, and involved a staggering array of players. That Carroll was in Iraq only multiplied the numbers. There were the many editors at the Monitor, Carrollʹs family members, news media, US government agencies, and nongovernmental organizations. There were also the bureau in Baghdad, the US military authorities in Iraq, Iraqi government officials and purported go‐betweens to terrorist organizations. Monitor editors had to decide not only whom to work with, but when to call on which group or individual. As a start, Ingwerson and a few key editors each took specific responsibilities. One represented the Monitor in public; another worked with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and its counterparts abroad; another dealt with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); and still another stayed in constant communication with Carrollʹs family members. The reporters in the Baghdad bureau were also eager to assist in any way possible.
