Testing the Widely Accepted Assumption that Inter-Agency Single Management Improves Policy-Implementation Title by Patrick Vincent Howell Department of Political Science Duke University Date:_______________________ Approved: ___________________________ Peter Feaver, Chair ___________________________ David Rohde ___________________________ Kyle Beardsley, Supervisor ___________________________ Henry Brands An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2018 Copyright by Patrick Vincent Howell 2018 Abstract Since the end of the Cold War, the US Government’s difficulties in implementing policies requiring integrated responses from multiple agencies have led to a number of calls to reform USG inter-agency policy-implementation; similar to how the 1986 Goldwater-Nichols Act improved the “jointness” of the various military services. All of these major studies and reports, most prominent being the 2008 “Project on National Security Reform”, similarly recommended adopting a Unity of Command approach that authorizes a single manager to synchronize the operations of all departments and agencies in time, space, and purpose. All of these studies directly or indirectly base their recommendations off a single case study from the Vietnam War that implemented the policy of pacification (counter-insurgency)- CORDS (Civil Operations Revolutionary Development Support). However, the causal relationship between single management and effective pacification has never been established as a fact; it is a rather a widely- held, but untested, assumption. This project will supplement archival research from the US and Communist perspectives with current qualitative and quantitative research on counter-insurgency (COIN) and CORDS in Vietnam to test the assumption that single management made CORDS effective. By generating a detailed list of alternative explanations for improved pacification in Vietnam in addition to CORDS, it will use three different political science methods (comparative, congruence, and process-tracing) iv to eliminate the infeasible hypotheses and rank order the remaining feasible hypotheses. The triangulation of this research question shows that, while the causal connection between single management and effective pacification in Vietnam is not an absolute fact, it is an extremely strong and likely assumption. v Contents Abstract ......................................................................................................................................... iv List of Tables

I Motivated, motivated, We must be motivated. —Neo-Trotskyist refrain To get a donkey to move forward, nothing is better than the proverbial carrot and stick. At least that’s how the story goes. Having known a few muleskinners myself, I never saw a single one resort to this technique. But whatever the reality may be, it’s a useful metaphor that, like many popular expressions, con- tains and condenses phenomena that are more complex than they seem. From the outset, let’s be clear that it is a question of the carrot and the stick, and not one or the other. There’s not an option, but rather a dialectical relation between the two terms. No carrot without the stick, and vice versa. The stick alone, physical punishment without the carrot, is not enough to encourage continuous and resolute forward progress in the animal.

It is a day for which the Vietnamese people and millions of their friends have been fighting for years, many of us for all of our conscious lives. As Le Due Tho of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam said in Paris on January 24th, "The just cause triumphs over the evil cause. The will to live in freedom triumphs over cruelty. The conclusion of such an agreement represents a very big victory for the Vietnamese people. It is the crowning of a -valiant struggle waged in unity by the army and the people of Vietnam on all fronts, at the price of countless sacrifices and privations. It is a very great victory for the fighting solidarity of the three peoples of Indochina .•• for the Social­ ist countries, the oppressed peoples, and all the peace and justice-loving peoples throughout the world, including the American people, who have demonstrated their solidarity and given devoted assis­ tance to the just struggle of our people." Ironic~lly, the peace agreement, in its recognition of the "independence, sovreignty, unity, territorial integrity" of Vietnam, is identical with the Geneva Ac­ cord signed by the French in 1954.

  • Problems of Scientific Definition of Terrorism and Political Propaganda
    OVERVIEW PAPER UDC 343.3/.7+327.7/.8 PROBLEMS OF SCIENTIFIC DEFINITION OF TERRORISM AND POLITICAL PROPAGANDA Dragan Tančić1, Nedeljko Debeljak2, Velimir Zekić3 1LLD,Institute for Serbian Culture Pristina, [email protected] 2LLD, International University, Brcko DC, [email protected]. 3LLM, The waters of the Republic of Serpska, [email protected] Abstract: In contemporary political and security theories, when studying political propaganda and terrorism, most authors start from the principle that these are predominantly political phenomena, i.e. essential factors of politics and the political process, regarding either internal or the foreign policy front. In fact, we are daily bombarded by the concepts of political propaganda and terrorism, in certain contexts and meanings. On the one hand, there is the daily presence of these terms, but, on the other hand, in the existing scientific fund there is no general agreement in defining the political propaganda nor terrorism. Therefore, scientific research on political propaganda and terrorism requires both scien- tific definition and scientific explanation, formation of various classifications criteria, etc. Keywords: political theory, security, political phenomena, political propaganda, modern terrorism INTRODUCTION In the methodology of the social sciences aterm is understood as a complete idea of an object. Scientific definition of concepts is defined as the scientific process and a procedure of scientific research that involves very precise scientific rules. Therefore,

  • Why NATO Endures
    This page intentionally left blank Why NATO Endures Why NATO Endures develops two themes as it examines military alli- ances and their role in international relations. The first is that the Atlantic Alliance, also known as NATO, has become something very different from virtually all pre-1939 alliances and many contemporary alliances. The members of early alliances frequently feared their allies as much if not more than their enemies, viewing them as temporary accomplices and future rivals. In contrast, NATO members are almost all democracies that encourage each other to grow stronger. The book’s second theme is that NATO, as an alliance of democracies, has developed hidden strengths that have allowed it to endure for roughly sixty years, unlike most other alliances, which often broke apart within a few years. Democracies can and do disagree with one another, but they do not fear one another. They also need the approval of other democracies as they conduct their foreign policies. These traits constitute built-in, self-healing tendencies, which is why NATO endures. Wallace J. Thies, a Yale Ph.D., has held full-time teaching positions in political science at the University of Connecticut (Storrs), the University of California, Berkeley, and the Catholic University of America. Why NATO Endures is his third book. His two previous books are When Governments Collide: Coercion and Diplomacy in the Vietnam Conflict (1980) and Friendly Rivals: Bargaining and Burden-Shifting in NATO (2003). He has also published articles in the Journal of Conflict Resolution, Journal of Strategic Studies, International Interactions, Comparative Strategy, and European Security and has served as an International Affairs Fellow of the Council on Foreign Relations, working at the U.S.

    Air America in South Vietnam I From the days of CAT to 1969 by Dr. Joe F. Leeker First published on 11 August 2008, last updated on 24 August 2015 I) At the times of CAT Since early 1951, a CAT C-47, mostly flown by James B. McGovern, was permanently based at Saigon1 to transport supplies within Vietnam for the US Special Technical and Economic Mission, and during the early fifties, American military and economic assistance to Indochina even increased. “In the fall of 1951, CAT did obtain a contract to fly in support of the Economic Aid Mission in FIC [= French Indochina]. McGovern was assigned to this duty from September 1951 to April 1953. He flew a C-47 (B-813 in the beginning) throughout FIC: Saigon, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, Vientiane, Nhatrang, Haiphong, etc., averaging about 75 hours a month. This was almost entirely overt flying.”2 CAT’s next operations in Vietnam were Squaw I and Squaw II, the missions flown out of Hanoi in support of the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu in 1953/4, using USAF C-119s painted in the colors of the French Air Force; but they are described in the file “Working in Remote Countries: CAT in New Zealand, Thailand-Burma, French Indochina, Guatemala, and Indonesia”. Between mid-May and mid-August 54, the CAT C-119s continued dropping supplies to isolated French outposts and landed loads throughout Vietnam. When the Communists incited riots throughout the country, CAT flew ammunition and other supplies from Hanoi to Saigon, and brought in tear gas from Okinawa in August.3 Between 12 and 14 June 54, CAT captain

  • Empower IAS Stay Ahead
    Empower IAS Stay ahead.. GS Mains Test Series 2019 Model Answer - Test Code 1033 (Paper 1) 1. Jainism originated as a non-materialist school of thought which enriched the Indian culture to a great extent. Explain.(10 marks) Jainism originated in India in 6th century BC. Vedic religion at that time was highly materialisti characterized by widespread use of money, luxuries and expensive rituals and sacrifices. The common man was discontented with materialistic Vedic life and looked for older and simpler form of living. Jainism originated as a counter to the worldly Vedic life and propounded non-materialist philosophy and way of life. It propounded simple and non- ritualistic path to salvation which appealed to the common man. Jainism considers a soul as clean and pure but as it dives into the materialistic world, and worldly possessions, a person accumulates karma. And too much Karma results into a next life full of hardship and suffering. But a soul can attain purity by leading a simple life full of fasting, chastity and human service. The non-materialist orientation of Jainism school is reflected in the following: Reconnect: Jainism focused on reconnection of an individual with the eternal pure consciousness. It laid down art, ways, methods of disconnecting from temporary world and connecting to the state of pure consciousness. Nirvana: Attainment of „nirvana‟ is the ultimate aim and to attain „nirvana‟ or salvation of the body one must abandon all wordily and material attachments, even one‟s own clothing; observing fasts, ascetic discipline and self- notification. Hence monastic and non-material life is essential for salvation.

  • The Phoenix Program As a Case Study
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 11, ISSUE 4, SPRING 2009 Studies The Theoretical Aspect of Targeted Killings: The Phoenix Program as a Case Study Dr. Tal Tovy One of the measures employed in the war against guerrilla warfare and terrorism is targeted killing, with the primary aim of directly attacking the higher-ranking activists, both military leaders and political cadres, of guerrilla or terror organizations and refraining, as far as possible, from injuring innocent citizens. This article has two purposes. First, it will examine the military theory that supports the mechanism for this kind of activity. Second, it will explain the essential nature of targeted killings as an operational tool, on the strategic and tactical levels, in the war against guerrilla warfare and terrorism. Therefore, we need to see the targeted killing as a warfare model of counterterrorism or counterinsurgency and not as a criminal action. The reason for combining these two concepts together is because no precise definition has yet been found acceptable to most researchers that distinguishes between a terror organization and a guerrilla organization.1 Eventually, the definition that will differentiate between the two concepts will be individually and subjectively linked with 1 Schmidt gives a long list of definitions he had collected from leading studies in the field of terror research.
