  • Trump “Rethinks”, Abruptly Calls
    Trump “Rethinks”, Abruptly Calls Off Military Strike: US Credibility Dented in Iran Standoff. The Danger of Escalation Remains By M. K. Bhadrakumar Region: Middle East & North Africa, USA Global Research, June 24, 2019 Theme: Media Disinformation, US NATO Indian Punchline 21 June 2019 War Agenda In-depth Report: IRAN: THE NEXT WAR? The US President Donald Trump’s reported decision abruptly to call off military strike against Iran which he’d previously ordered, highlights the growing complexity of the US-Iranian entanglement. Indeed, it takes political courage to rationalise amidst such a dangerous situation that discretion is the better part of valour. Trump has been smart enough. But, having said that, there’s going to be downstream consequences. The Trump administration appears paralysed. And Tehran has seized the diplomatic initiative. What prompted Trump’s rethink? Surely, the rethink somewhatlegitimises the Iranian assertion that it shot down the American drone which intruded into its air space. (In fact, Iran has since claimed that it recovered the debris of the downed US drone in the country’s southern waters.) The US has a history of lying in such situations. Remember the downing of a scheduled Iranian passenger Airbus A300 flight in 1988 by an SM-2MR surface-to-air missile fired from USS Vincennes killing all 290 people including 66 children on board? The US, at the level of Vice-President George HW Bush lied over US culpability, saying, “I will never apologise for the United States — I don’t care what the facts are… I’m not an apologise-for-America kind of guy.” Only years later in 1996 Washington agreed to pay Iran US$131.8 million in settlement to discontinue a case brought by Iran in the International Court of Justice relating to this incident.

  • The Global New Right and the Flemish Identitarian Movement Schild & Vrienden a Case Study
    Paper The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden A case study by Ico Maly© (Tilburg University) [email protected] December 2018 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. To view a copy of this license, visit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0/ The global New Right and the Flemish identitarian movement Schild & Vrienden. A case study. Ico Maly Abstract: This paper argues that nationalism, and nationalistic activism in particular are being globalized. At least certain fringes of radical nationalist activists are organized as ‘cellular systems’ connected and mobilize-able on a global scale giving birth to what I call ‘global nationalistic activism’. Given this change in nationalist activism, I claim that we should abandon all ‘methodological nationalism’. Methodological nationalism fails in arriving at a thorough understanding of the impact, scale and mobilization power (Tilly, 1974) of contemorary ‘national(istic)’ political activism. Even more, it inevitably will contribute to the naturalization or in emic terms the meta-political goals of global nationalist activists. The paradox is of course evident: global nationalism uses the scale- advantages, network effects and the benefits of cellular structures to fight for the (re)construction of the old 19th century vertebrate system par excellence: the (blood and soil) nation. Nevertheless, this, I will show, is an indisputable empirical reality: the many local nationalistic battles are more and more embedded in globally operating digital infrastructures mobilizing militants from all corners of the world for nationalist causes at home. Nationalist activism in the 21st century, so goes my argument, has important global dimensions which are easily repatriated for national use.

Wechsler, Center for American Progress January 2017 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Process Makes Perfect Best Practices in the Art of National Security Policymaking By Kori Schake, Hoover Institution, and William F. Wechsler, Center for American Progress January 2017 Contents 1 Introduction and summary 6 Findings 14 First-order questions for the next president 17 Best practices to consider 26 Policymaking versus oversight versus crisis management 36 Meetings, meetings, and more meetings 61 Internal NSC staff management 72 Appendix A 73 About the authors 74 Endnotes Introduction and summary Most modern presidents have found that the transition from campaigning to governing presents a unique set of challenges, especially regarding their newfound national security responsibilities. Regardless of their party affiliation or preferred diplomatic priorities, presidents have invariably come to appreciate that they can- not afford to make foreign policy decisions in the same manner as they did when they were a candidate. The requirements of managing an enormous and complex national security bureau- cracy reward careful deliberation and strategic consistency, while sharply punishing the kind of policy shifts that are more common on the campaign trail. Statements by the president are taken far more seriously abroad than are promises by a candidate, by both allies and adversaries alike. And while policy mistakes made before entering office can damage a candidate’s personal political prospects, a serious misstep made once in office can put the country itself at risk.

  • With Former National Security Advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice
    A “Fireside Conversation” with Former National Security Advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice The Brookings Institution Washington, D.C. Tuesday, October 30, 2018 INTRODUCTION On October 30, 2018, former national security advisors Stephen Hadley and Susan Rice participated in a “fireside conversation” at the Brookings Institution to discuss U.S.-China relations. The event, part of the first major collaboration between the Paul Tsai China Center at Yale Law School and the John L. Thornton Center at Brookings, showcased the current views about the U.S.-China relationship from two of the leading foreign policy figures in the Democratic and Republican parties. Their service in the most senior foreign policy positions in our government spanned the sixteen years between 2001-2017, during the administrations of President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama. They expressed a substantial degree of agreement on current challenges and priorities. Both believe that the relationship with China has entered a new stage of significantly more competition and that the central challenge is to find effective ways to manage this more intense competition while also developing areas of cooperation. And they each enumerated a range of concrete steps to advance those goals in the time ahead. The full transcript appears below. “China is different today, the United “We are going to be in a greater degree States is different today. The trick of competition with China than we have will be to recognize that a more been in the past.

  • Enough Already It's Time to Talk to the Taliban
    Enough Already It's time to talk to the Taliban. BY STEPHEN HADLEY AND JOHN PODESTA | JANUARY 18, 2012 Over the past two years, the United States has made enormous strides in Afghanistan. The U.S. military has undertaken a devastating campaign against al Qaeda and its affiliates, as well as members of the Taliban in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. This military pressure has made Americans safer -- Osama bin Laden and dozens of other top al Qaeda leaders are dead, U.S. and NATO troops casualties are down in Afghanistan, and the Afghan government has been given the breathing room it needs to bolster its security forces and its governing institutions. U.S. policy is now entering a new and complex phase of this conflict, where diplomatic efforts in support of a robust political strategy for Afghanistan and the region will 1 become even more essential. This effort should not become a political football in the coming election season -- it needs strong bipartisan support here at home. U.S. political leaders, Democrats and Republicans alike, and our military commanders, have consistently argued that the conflict in Afghanistan will not end by military means alone. The elimination of al Qaeda's safe havens and the establishment of long-term peace and security in Afghanistan and the region -- the key U.S. national security objectives -- is best assured by a sustainable political settlement that strengthens the Afghan state so that it can assume greater responsibility for addressing the country's security and economic challenges. This broad political settlement must include all elements of Afghan society -- opposition groups, non-Taliban Pashtuns, ethnic and religious minorities, women, and civil society.

  • Nationalist Networks and Transnational Opportunities
    STV004 Spring 2007 Supervisor: Anders Uhlin Department of Political Science Nationalist Networks and Transnational Opportunities An Illustration of GAM and PULOs Transnational Activism Jens Bölling Abstract As a reaction against unjust policies and repression the Free Aceh Movement (GAM) in Indonesia and the Pattani United Liberation Organization (PULO) in Thailand were formed at the end of the 1970s. Though their agendas have developed during the years, their demands have usually been centred on claims for independence based on nationalist arguments. GAM and PULO have used different tools in their contention against the Indonesian respectively Thai authorities ranging from armed force to political negotiations. This thesis sets out to investigate the transnational dimension of nationalist movements. It argues that globalization processes have caused changes in social movement’s contextual environment that facilitates the establishment of transnational networks. Based on previous research such as scholar-written books and articles, reports, news articles and statements from activists, this thesis uses the examples of GAM and PULO to illustrate how nationalist movements use transnational opportunities, participate in domestic and international politics simultaneously, draw on a wide range of resources, and engage in information exchange and lobbying. By doing so they are using the transnational arena as a tool to reach political goals at the domestic level. Key words: Asia, globalization, political opportunities, transnational activism,

  • Prepared Statement of Secretary of State Colin L. Powell
    Secretary of State Colin L. Powell Written Remarks Submitted to: The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States 23 March 2004 Mr. Chairman, Mr. Vice Chairman, Members of the Commission, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you regarding the events leading up to and following the murderous terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It is my hope, as I know it is yours, that through the hard work of this Commission, and other bodies like it, our country can improve the way we wage the war on terror and, in particular, better protect our homeland and the American people. I am pleased to have with me today Deputy Secretary Richard Armitage. Secretary Armitage was sworn in on March 26, two months into the Administration and he has been intimately involved in the interagency deliberations on our counterterrorism policies. He also participated in National Security Council meetings whenever I was on travel. Mr. Chairman, I leave Washington this evening to represent President Bush and the American people at the memorial service in Madrid, Spain honoring the over 200 victims of the terrorists attacks of March 11, 2004. With deep sympathy and solidarity, our heart goes out to their loved ones and to the people of Spain. And just last Thursday, in the garden of our embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, I presided at a memorial service in honor of two State Department family members, Barbara Green and her daughter Kristen Wormsley, who were killed two years ago by terrorists while they worshipped in church on a bright, beautiful spring morning.

    Conversation with the experts THURSDAY • APRIL 3 • 2014 THE DAYS AFTER A DEAL Iran, Its Neighbors, and U.S. Policy Following a Nuclear Agreement RAND CORPORATION WASHINGTON OFFICE C O R P O R A T I O N Agenda As the nuclear negotiations with Iran approach the six-month deadline for a final deal this summer, this half-day RAND conference will look ahead at some of the critical ‘day after’ questions following a potential nuclear agreement. We do not presume that a final deal is a foregone conclusion or that a deal would eliminate the challenges ahead for U.S. regional policy. Consequently, our conference panels will address not only the prospects for reaching a final deal but also how Iran, the region, and U.S. policy might evolve in the aftermath of a final deal and the strategic consequences of success or failure. AGENDA 8:00–8:30 am: Arrival and breakfast 8:35–8:45 am: Welcome Dalia Dassa Kaye, Senior Political Scientist and Director, RAND Center for Middle East Public Policy PANEL 1 8:45–9:45 am: Getting to a final deal What would the contours of a final deal likely look like?
