This stringent safety inspection, conducted before and after flight operations, exemplifies the new practicalities that will face the navy of the People’s Republic of China if—as our lead article, by Professors Nan Li and Christopher Weuve, argues is likely—it decides to build and operate carriers of its own.

What might a Chinese carrier look like, and what would it mean? Allied Navies Great Britain Gambles with the Royal Navy. 33 Geoffrey Till British defense policy makers have taken a risky gamble for the future of the Royal Navy—they have undertaken the most ambitious program of fleet recapitalization for perhaps forty years, at a time when naval defense spending is less than half of what it was in the Cold War era. This gamble will only have paid off if and when current programs complete.

How Will the DPJ Change Japan? . 77 Tobias Harris The victory of the Democratic Party of Japan over the Liberal Democratic Party, long the nation’s ruling party, seems to promise a genuine revolution in how the country is governed and to open the way to far-reaching reforms in the making of policy. But the effect on the U.S.-Japan alliance may not be so dramatic.

    THE BRITISH ARMY in the LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 By

    ‘FAIRLY OUT-GENERALLED AND DISGRACEFULLY BEATEN’: THE BRITISH ARMY IN THE LOW COUNTRIES, 1793-1814 by ANDREW ROBERT LIMM A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY.

ABSTRACT The history of the British Army in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars is generally associated with stories of British military victory and the campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. An intrinsic aspect of the historiography is the argument that, following British defeat in the Low Countries in 1795, the Army was transformed by the military reforms of His Royal Highness, Frederick Duke of York. This thesis provides a critical appraisal of the reform process with reference to the organisation, structure, ethos and learning capabilities of the British Army and evaluates the impact of the reforms upon British military performance in the Low Countries, in the period 1793 to 1814, via a series of narrative reconstructions. This thesis directly challenges the transformation argument and provides a re-evaluation of British military competency in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.

    Robert Helbig NATO-Brazil Relations

    Helbig 1 Robert Helbig NATO-Brazil relations: Limits of a partnership policy Professor Michelle Egan, School of International Service University Honors in International Studies Fall 2012 Helbig 2 Abstract The purpose of this capstone project is to assess the potential of a partnership between NATO and Brazil, based on interviews with over twenty high-level experts on Brazilian foreign policy and the application of international relations theory. Because building international partnership has become a vital task of NATO and Brazil is trying to increase its influence in global politics, senior NATO officials have called for the Alliance to reach out to Brazil. The paper argues that Brazil, as a regional middle power, has taken on a soft-balancing approach towards the US, thereby following adversary strategies to NATO, including global governance reform and South- South cooperation. The theoretical debate on alliance formation and international regimes leads to the conclusion that NATO is unlikely to succeed in reaching out to Brazil, which is why NATO should develop different approaches of increasing its influence in South America and the South Atlantic.

    WORKING PAPER 91 Hans Kammler, Hitler’s Last Hope, in American Hands By Frank Döbert and Rainer Karlsch, August 2019 THE COLD WAR INTERNATIONAL HISTORY PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann and Charles Kraus, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the Cold War International History Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 1991 by a grant from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Cold War International History Project (CWIHP) disseminates new information and perspectives on the history of the Cold War as it emerges from previously inaccessible sources from all sides of the post-World War II superpower rivalry. Among the activities undertaken by the Project to promote this aim are the Wilson Center's Digital Archive; a periodic Bulletin and other publications to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to Cold War history; a fellowship program for historians to conduct archival research and study Cold War history in the United States; and international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars. The CWIHP Working Paper series provides a speedy publication outlet for researchers who have gained access to newly-available archives and sources related to Cold War history and would like to share their results and analysis with a broad audience of academics, journalists, policymakers, and students. CWIHP especially welcomes submissions which use archival sources from outside of the United States; offer novel interpretations of well-known episodes in Cold War history; explore understudied events, issues, and personalities important to the Cold War; or improve understanding of the Cold War’s legacies and political relevance in the present day.

    BATTLE-SCARRED AND DIRTY: US ARMY TACTICAL LEADERSHIP IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THEATER, 1942-1943 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steven Thomas Barry Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Allan R. Millett, Adviser Dr. John F. Guilmartin Dr. John L. Brooke Copyright by Steven T. Barry 2011 Abstract Throughout the North African and Sicilian campaigns of World War II, the battalion leadership exercised by United States regular army officers provided the essential component that contributed to battlefield success and combat effectiveness despite deficiencies in equipment, organization, mobilization, and inadequate operational leadership. Essentially, without the regular army battalion leaders, US units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. For both Operations TORCH and HUSKY, the US Army did not possess the leadership or staffs at the corps level to consistently coordinate combined arms maneuver with air and sea power. The battalion leadership brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality. Many US officers shared the same ―Old Army‖ skill sets in their early career. Across the Army in the 1930s, these officers developed familiarity with the systems and doctrine that would prove crucial in the combined arms operations of the Second World War. The battalion tactical leadership overcame lackluster operational and strategic guidance and other significant handicaps to execute the first Mediterranean Theater of Operations campaigns. Three sets of factors shaped this pivotal group of men. First, all of these officers were shaped by pre-war experiences.

  • Competitive Exclusion Between Podarcis Lizards from Tyrrhenian Islands: Inference from Comparative Species Distributions

    Competitive Exclusion Between Podarcis Lizards from Tyrrhenian Islands: Inference from Comparative Species Distributions

    Korsos, Z. &Kss, I. (eds) (1992) Proc. Sixth Ord. Gen. Meet. S. E. H., Budapest 1991, pp. 89-93. Competitive exclusion between Podarcis lizards from Tyrrhenian islands: Inference from comparative species distributions MASSIMO CAPULA Podarcis sicula is an opportunistic and eurikous lacertid lizard occurring as autochthon species in peninsular Italy, Sicily and in a number of Tyrrhenian islands and islets (HENLE & KLAVER 1986). It inhabits also the Adriatic coast of Yugosla- via and several Adriatic islands (NEVO et al. 1972). Distributional and genetic data indicate that in some Tyrrhenian islands, e.g. Sardinia, Corsica, Tuscan Archipelago, this lizard has been accidentally introduced by man in proto-historic or historic times, invading the range of other Podarcis species (e.g., P. tiliguerta, P. muralis) (LANZA 1983, 1988, CORTI et al. 1989). In these islands the allochthon P. sicula seems to have competed successfully with the native congeneric species, reducing their range (e.g., P. tiliguerta in Corsica and Sardinia) (LANZA 1983, 1988), or replacing them through competitive exclusion (e.g., P. muralis in the Tuscan Archipelago) (CORTI et al. 1989). In the present paper preliminary data are given on the occurrence of exclusion of P. wagleriana by P. sicula in the Aeolian Islands (Sicily). P. wagleriana is endemic to Sicily, Aegadian, Stagnone (Isola Grande) and Aeolian Islands, and has been traditionally considered closely related to P. sicula. Methods Competitive exclusion is one of the most dramatic natural effects of interspe- cific competition. The competitive superiority of a species has proved to be exceed- ingly difficult to analyze in natural conditions. To overcome this difficulty, we inferred the occurrence of competitive exclusion from the comparative distribu- tions and relative abundance of the two potentially competing species (GiLLER 1984).
