Support RAND Make a tax-deductible charitable contribution at www.rand.org/giving/contribute www.rand.org Preface Research done at the RAND Corporation and elsewhere over the past several years has iden- tified some serious shortcomings in the ability of programmed U.S. forces to meet emerging challenges. Prominent among these challenges are those posed by the growth of advanced anti-access/area denial threats in the arsenals of U.S. adversaries, Russia’s use of military power against neighboring European states, North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons, and the spread of violent Salafist-jihadi ideology with the emergence of the quasi-state Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Individually, each of these developments places stress on U.S. and allied military capabilities. Collectively, they represent the major elements of an international security environment that is more complex and more dangerous than that to which Americans have been accustomed since the end of the Cold War. These developments should be important factors in the Trump administration’s review of National Defense Strategy. They should also prompt a reconsideration of the Budget Control Act of 2011, which became law before some of these threats became manifest. Clearly, the Trump administration will need to reassess the nation’s defense strategy, posture, and program with an eye toward finding a better balance than exists today between the ambitions embodied in the strategy and the resources devoted to it. This report is offered as a contribu- tion to that effort. This report should be of interest to defense policymakers, practitioners in the executive and legislative branches, analysts, the media, experts in nongovernmental organizations, and those concerned with defense planning and the role of the United States in international secu- rity affairs. This research was conducted within the International Security and Defense Policy Center of the RAND National Defense Research Institute, a federally funded research and develop- ment center sponsored by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff, the Unified Combatant Commands, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the defense agencies, and the defense Intelligence Community. Funding for this study was provided, in part, by donors and by the independent research and development provisions of RAND’s contracts for the operation of its U.S. Department of Defense federally funded research and development centers.

  • Notes on Military Capability Concepts and Their Relevance for Analysis of System Characteristics
    Kent Andersson October 5th 2020 1 (12) Notes on military capability concepts and their relevance for analysis of system characteristics Kent Andersson, LtCol/Ph.D, Swedish Defence University, [email protected] Abstract – A plethora of views, definitions and concepts concerning military capability can cause misunderstandings among scholars and professionals in the defence and security sector, as well as they can confuse the public on important issues. This study captures and describes a few in an effort to increase awareness; Combat Power, Fighting Power, Joint functions, Warfighting functions, Elements of combat power, Warfighting Capability, DOTMLPF(I), TEPIDOIL, Fundamental inputs to capability, Defence lines of Development, and Military Power. The study also highlights their systemic character and guides the reader briefly in matching issues with suitable concepts. Appendix 1 matches Swedish concepts to those listed in the study. 1 INTRODUCTION Capability is central to assessments and decision-making in the defence and security sector, and hence to debate and discussion. But the understanding of the term seems to differ a lot, thus hampering fruitful communication between scholars or professionals, then risking confusing the public on important issues. "Sweden needs a more resilient national defense capability that is better funded and resourced”[1]; or, “ (Our) missile systems are powerful assets to have on your side, giving you the advanced capabilities modern forces need in order to address a wide range of conflict scenarios”[2]. These are two examples of statements regarding military capability that together illustrate the wide spread in use. The first originates from a policy maker and relates to the whole-of-the-nation effort to defend Sweden from foreign military aggression.

    Bhatia Nikhil, Gupta Ishan, International Journal of Advance Research, Ideas and Innovations in Technology. ISSN: 2454-132X Impact factor: 4.295 (Volume 4, Issue 1) Available online at www.ijariit.com The Four Asian Dragon's Significance in World Economic Development Nikhil Bhatia Ishan Gupta [email protected] [email protected] Christ University, Bangalore, Karnataka Christ University, Bangalore, Karnataka ABSTRACT This paper analyses the contribution of four Asian Dragons towards International Economic System from 1965-2017 and reveals insight into related trends and patterns. The paper shows how four Asian dragons (Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong) have grown since Independence to Industrialisation. Lastly, reasons for their slowing growth. This study is divided into four parts. Firstly, the growth pattern of GDP and Exports in these countries. Secondly, factors leading to this growth. Thirdly, how Industrialisation of four dragons helped world economy during currency fluctuations and recession. Fourthly, reasons for declining growth of these nations. The study discusses the challenges facing four Dragon’s sharply declining growth rate and proposes policy approaches that might help boost the country’s growth in the future. Keywords: Asian Dragon, International Economic System, GDP. 1. INTRODUCTION Four Asian Dragons The countries that come under are Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan, they had gone through rapid industrialisation and had high growth rate i.e. more than 7 percent a year between the 1960s and 1990s. By the 21st century, all the countries had developed into an advanced and high-income nation, industrialised and developed countries specialising in the areas of competitive advantage.

  • The Submission
    August 24, 2011 Professor Juan Méndez U.N. Special Rapporteur on Torture c/o Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights United Nations Office at Geneva CH-1211 Geneva 10 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Dear Professor Méndez: We represent Melissa Roxas, who was abducted in the Philippines in May 2009 and brutally tortured over a period of six days. Substantial evidence collected despite the military’s obstruction suggests the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) detained and tortured Ms. Roxas as part of its counterinsurgency campaign, which has been responsible for a staggering number of documented human rights abuses.1 To date, Ms. Roxas’s abductors have not been held accountable. In July 2009, Ms. Roxas returned to the Philippines to testify before the Court of Appeals and submitted an urgent appeal to then-Special Rapporteur Professor Manfred Nowak, to which the Philippine government has not responded. The Court of Appeals subsequently found that Ms. Roxas was in fact abducted, detained, and tortured,2 adding new urgency to Ms. Roxas’s efforts to hold her abductors accountable. In addition, President Benigno Aquino took office on June 1 Ms. Roxas’ experience, in which she was kidnapped and tortured by the AFP while performing human rights work, is not isolated. Rather, it typifies the pattern of abductions, forced disappearances, torture, extra-judicial killings, and other human rights violations committed under the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arrroyo. Reports issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extra-Judicial Killings Philip Alston, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Karapatan have all concluded that the AFP has systematically carried out politically-motivated executions, abductions, torture and arrests against unarmed civilians and human rights activists like Ms.

  • The Hawaiian Achievement in Comparative Perspective
    7 The Hawaiian Achievement in Comparative Perspective This chapter draws on historical patterns on the impact of Western contact observed elsewhere in the non-Western world to reinforce the contention of this study that the Hawaiian achievement of political centralisation was at best enhanced rather than triggered or wholly created by newly introduced Western elements and ideas. The evidence assembled in this chapter is directed towards answering the question of how Hawaiian society reacted to new elements in a time of internal transition. Three aspects of change are studied and three general propositions articulated. The first relates to the fact that new ideas and objects are confronted by existing ideas and ways of viewing the world – Marshall Sahlins’s powerful conception of the structure of the conjuncture. I argue that the structure was much more fluid, mobile and varied than has generally been allowed for. As the fluidity of Hawaiian structures of power has been dealt with in detail in Chapters 3 and 4, this first section focuses on more general observations on the nature of change and continuity. The second focus is on the campaigns towards unification of the Hawaiian Islands, and it is argued that, in the Hawaiian context, the type of Western firearms and cannon introduced were incapable of producing the decisive military impact that archaeologists claim, as has been shown in numerous, detailed historical studies around the globe. The last point is that consolidation of unified rule was achieved by adherence to institutions of consensus- building and peacemaking accumulated over centuries in the context of rulers who lacked decisive coercive advantages over the populations they ruled.

  • The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths
    The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths Jacqueline Pak Cornell University The Journal of Northeast Asian History Volume 9 Number 2 (Winter 2012), 181-227 Copyright © 2012 by the Northeast Asian History Foundation. All Rights Reserved. No portion of the contents may be reproduced in any form without written permission of the Northeast Asian History Foundation. The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths The “Ahn Changho Controversy” was sparked by new documentary evidence which challenged the earlier conventional views concerning the preeminent Korean nationalist leader, Ahn Changho (1878-1938). The Controversy arose from the historical mystery and enigma which long surrounded Ahn Changho, who was a leader of the transnational independence movement during the Japanese colonial rule, 1905-45. As one of the most spirited and enduring controversies in Korean Studies over the past decades since the 1990s, the Ahn Changho Controversy revealed theoretical divisions or ideological cleavages in the interpretations and re-interpretations of Korean colonial history: 1) gradualist pacifism vs. radical militarism; 2) a new view of “revolutionary-democracy” vs. the old view of “tripartite division” of Korean nationalist movement; 3) revisionism of “cultural nationalism” vs. neo-revisionism of revolutionary nationalism; 4) patriotism vs. collaborationism in the colonial period and the complicated legacy of the issue thereafter; and 5) the origins of Korean democracy, including the origin and drafter of the Korean republican constitution. In this regard, the Ahn Changho Controversy touched upon the highly complex and potentially explosive issues of patriotism vs. collaboration by probing into the previous revisionist binaries arising from the reductive matrix of the bipolar Cold War alignments.
