  • Books at Brown
    BOOKS AT BROWN VOL. I, NO. 2. Ifilillii SEPTEMBER, I938 PUBLISHED BY THE FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY OF BROWN UNIVERSITY JOHN HAY On the 8th day of October in the year 1838, John Hay was born in the pioneer town of Salem, Indiana. His mother, born in Assonet, Massachusetts, in 1803, was a Leonard and his maternal grandfather, David Augustus Leonard, had attended Brown Uni­ versity (then Rhode Island College) in the Class of 1792. This New England connection drew the youth, John Milton Hay, when of college age, to Brown. His subsequent career has placed him in the very highest esteem among the University's alumni. During October, from the 24th through the 30th, there will be an exhibition of John Hay memorabilia in the Harris Room of the Library. On the evening of October 26th the Friends of the Li­ brary will hold their October meeting in the Harris Room at eight o'clock and members will have an opportunity to view the exhibit. The exhibition will include examples of Hay's published and private works, autograph letters, pictures, and his college records. Early letters of Hay are extremely rare as most of them were addressed to his family and were subsequently destroyed. During the brief interval between his graduation from Brown and his departure for Washington to become Lincoln's private secretary, he suffered from, or perhaps we should say, indulged in, "Leonard Melancholy." This period it is hoped will be repre­ sented by copy No. 1 of Caroline Tichnor's book, A Poet in Exile, which has the original letters bound in.

  • Conceptualizing Afpak: the Prospects and Perils

This document is issued on the understanding that if any extract is used, the author and Chatham House should be credited, preferably with the date of the publication. Programme Paper: ASP PP 2010/01 Conceptualizing AfPak: The Prospects and Perils EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Obama administration’s AfPak strategy has created the opportunity to recalibrate US engagement with Afghanistan and Pakistan to reverse the Taliban momentum and ‘disrupt and dismantle’ the terrorist threat from the border region. The strategy advocates an increase in US/NATO troops, reconciliation with ‘moderate’ Taliban, and a regional approach to the conflict that includes tackling the Taliban in Pakistan’s tribal areas. In its current conceptualization, it lacks implementation mechanisms and analysis of the border region to manage the insurgency and quell the violence. This paper analyses some of the contradictions, anomalies and structural flaws in the AfPak strategy that risk further destabilizing the Afghanistan–Pakistan border region. As part of the AfPak strategy, President Obama has ordered a ‘military surge’ of approximately 50,000 US troops to implement a shift from counterterrorism to counterinsurgency with an emphasis on the ‘clear, hold, build and engage’ strategy.

  • The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics”, Security Dialogue, Vol
    Post peer review version of Zehfuss, Maja, “Culturally Sensitive War? The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics”, Security Dialogue, vol. 43, no. 2 (2012), 175-190. (ISSN 0967-0106) Culturally Sensitive War? The Human Terrain System and the Seduction of Ethics Since 2005 the US Army has designed and implemented the Human Terrain System (HTS) as part of the counterinsurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq.1 Its centrepiece is the deployment with combat forces of Human Terrain Teams (HTTs), involving regional studies experts and social scientists. An article introducing and praising the programme in the Military Review extolled the significance of “ethnographic and cultural intelligence” for military operations in low-intensity conflicts: not drawing on such information would be wasteful, and “waste on the battlefield means loss of life, both civilian and military, with high potential for failure having grave geopolitical consequences to the loser” (Kipp et al., 2006: 8). Given the criticism of the US’s failure to consult regional experts before its invasion of Iraq, an interest in culture appears progressive, and the more so if lives may be saved. Hence, the idea of HTS as a means of reducing the (human) cost of war is seductive. Despite positive coverage in the mainstream media (CEAUSSIC, 2009: 9-11), HTS has, however, been subject to fierce criticism, especially from anthropologists. The promise of reducing harm to people caught up in warfare through particular capabilities is familiar not least from the discourse on smart weapons (Zehfuss, 2011) and from the recruitment of nuclear scientists to the war effort in the Second World War.

  • Universal Penman
    Universal Penman NEWSLETTER OF THE PROVIDENCE ATHENÆUM MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT CANDY ADRIANCE As detailed by Strategic Planning Committee Chair Steve Coon on page 2, the Athenaeum is moving ahead with a strategic planning process designed to consolidate the progress achieved during the implementation of our current Strategic Plan. A critical element of this work was an extensive organizational assessment of the Board of Directors and staff to evaluate our structure and current roles and responsibilities throughout the library. With this assessment complete, we have launched the search for our next Executive Director. Our timing is fortuitous. Conducting the search as we near the finish line for the Strategic Plan, projected to be complete by June 30, 2015, allows us to tie together critical elements of our strategy and direction with the most important characteristics of a new leader. The Search Committee, chaired by Board Members Tripp Evans and Cathy Lund, and comprised of members of the Board and the staff, used our strategic planning work to date as well as best practices of successful RI nonprofit organizations and other membership libraries across the country to identify the leadership requirements that will serve us well for now and into the future. At this exciting time in the library’s history we believe we will attract many strong, well-qualified candidates who share our vision of the Athenaeum as a rich library, cultural center, and gathering place for a great diversity of Rhode Islanders. The job description is now available on our website. The search will extend into the summer, past the date that Interim Executive Director Mike Gerhardt could be available.
