AFRICA--FOREIGN RELATIONS African Agency in International Politics. - Abingdon, UK : Routledge, 2013. xiii, 204 pages ; 24 cm. (Routledge Studies on African Politics and International Relations ; 2) ID number: 80024839 Type: M Call Number: 327 /01637 ISBN: 9780415633536 Bibliography: p. 175-196. Includes index. 'This book analyses the rapidly increasing role of African states, leaders and other political actors in international politics in the twenty-first century. In contrast to the conventional approach of studying how external actors impacted on Africa's international relations, this book seeks to open up a new approach, focusing on the impact of African political actors on international politics. It does this by analysing African agency - the degree to which African political actors have room to manoeuvre within the international system and exert influence internationally and the uses they make of that room for manoeuvre. Bringing together leading scholars from Africa and Europe to explore the role and conception of African agency, this book addresses a wide range of issues, from relations with Western and non-Western donors, Africa's role in the and World Trade Organisation, negotiations over climate change, trade agreements with the European Union, regional diplomatic strategies, the character and extent of African state agency and agency within corporate social responsibility initiatives.'

Drawing on his recollections of major figures from Tony Blair to George W. Bush, Yasser Arafat to Ehud Barak, Saddam Hussein to Nelson Mandela, this book offers a unique, behind-the-scenes view of global diplomacy during one of the most consequential eras in recent history.'

ARAB SPRING, 2010- Le printemps arabe, une manipulation ? / by Naoufel Brahimi El Mili. - Paris : Max Milo, 2012. 220 pages ; 21 cm.

Mili, Naoufel Brahimi El 'En 2011, le monde a cru a la spontaneite du Printemps arabe et a la democratisation des peuples. Mais ces evenements seraient pour une grande part le resultat d'un tissu de manipulations ... Les soulevements populaires auraient ete encourages, voire provoques, par les interets du gouvernement americain, appuye par le Qatar et sa chaine satellitaire Al-Jazeera. Les icones religieuses ou sociales imaginees par le storytelling ont influence les masses qui ont cru elles aussi en un nouvel ordre. Mais l'alliage de la democratie et de l'islam n'a pas tenu ses promesses : repressions sanglantes des revoltes, guerres civiles, prises de pouvoir des armees, commandos salafistes, terrorismes islamistes, elections frauduleuses ... On assiste desormais a l'apparition d'un nouveau desordre arabe.'

ASSAD, BASHAR, 1965- Syria : The Fall of the House of Assad / by David W. Lesch. - New Haven, CT : Yale University Press, 2012. ix, 275 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. ID number: 80024850 Type: M Call Number: 323 /01327 ISBN: 9780300186512 Author(s): 1. Lesch, David W. Includes index. 'Amidst the bombings, shootings, political turmoil, and mass exodus in Syria, it's difficult to follow the trajectory of its recent troubled history. One can start in 2000, when Syrian President Bashar al-Assad came to power. The author can trace this path because he knew President Assad personally, perhaps better than anyone else in the West. The book at first highlights the humanity and promise once shown in President Assad. Later, it is filled with disappointment. The author explains that Assad was never meant to rule, and it was only after the untimely death of his brother that the role was thrust upon him. Assad was an ophthalmologist, with a wife and a good family. But it did not take long for the power to corrupt him. In this timely book, the author explores Assad's failed leadership, his transformation from bearer of hope to reactionary , and his regime's violent response to the uprising of his people in the wake of the Arab Spring.'

BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS--USSR The Soviet Biological Weapons Program : A History / by Milton Leitenberg, Raymond A. Zilinkas. - Cambridge, MA : Harvard University Press, 2012. xvi, 921 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024836 Type: M Call Number: 623 /01172 ISBN: 9780674047709 Author(s): 1. Leitenberg, Milton 2. Zilinkas, Raymond A. Includes index. 'Russian officials claim today that the USSR never possessed an offensive biological weapons program. In fact, the Soviet government spent billions of rubles and hard currency to fund a hugely expensive weapons program that added nothing to the country's security. This history is the first attempt to understand the broad scope of the USSR's offensive biological weapons research - its inception in the 1920s, its growth between 1970 and 1990, and its possible remnants in present-day Russia.'

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT Opting Out of War : Strategies to Prevent Violent Conflict / by Mary B. Anderson, Marshall Wallace. - Boulder, CO : Lynne Rienner, 2013. ix, 193 pages ; 23 cm. ID number: 80024834 Type: M Call Number: 327.5 /00509 ISBN: 9781588268761 Author(s): 1. Anderson, Mary B., 1939- 2. Wallace, Marshall Bibliography: p. 183-184. Includes index. 'How do ordinary people, neither pacifists nor peace activists, come to decide collectively to eschew violent conflict and then develop strategies for maintaining their nonwar stance despite myriad pressures to the contrary ? The authors analyze the experiences of thirteen nonwar communities that made conscious - and effective - choices not to engage in the fighting that surrounded them. Tracing the steps that these communities took and the strategies that evolved in each setting in response to local circumstances, the authors find lessons with broader relevance for international efforts to prevent violent conflict.'

CRIMES AGAINST PEACE 'Crimes against Peace' and International Law / by Kirsten Sellars. - Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2013. xv, 316 pages : 24 cm. (Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law ; 97) ID number: 80024844 Type: M Call Number: 341.3 /00231 ISBN: 9781107028845 Author(s): 1. Sellars, Kirsten Bibliography: p. 294-305. Includes index. 'In 1946, the judges at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg declared 'crimes against peace' - the planning, initiation or waging of aggressive wars - to be 'the supreme international crime'. At the time, the prosecuting powers heralded the charge as being a legal milestone, but it later proved to be an anomaly arising from the unique circumstances of the post-war period. This study traces the idea of criminalising aggression, from its origins after the First World War, through its high-water mark at the post-war

7

tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo, to its abandonment during the . Today, a similar charge - the 'crime of aggression' - is being mooted at the International Criminal Court, so the ideas and debates that shaped the original charge of 'crimes against peace' assume new significance and offer valuable insights to lawyers, policy-makers and scholars engaged in international law and international relations.'

ELECTION MONITORING Monitoring : When International Election Observation Works, and Why It Often Fails / by Judith Green Kelley. - Princeton, NJ : Princeton University Press, 2012. xviii, 338 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024842 Type: M Call Number: 324 /00031 ISBN: 9780691152776 Author(s): 1. Kelley, Judith Green Bibliography: p. 293-320. Includes index. 'In recent decades, governments and NGOs - in an effort to promote democracy, freedom, fairness, and stability throughout the world - have organized teams of observers to monitor elections in a variety of countries. But when more organizations join the practice without uniform standards, are assessments reliable ? When politicians nonetheless cheat and monitors must return to countries even after two decades of engagement, what is accomplished ? This book argues that the practice of international election monitoring is broken, but still worth fixing. By analyzing the evolving interaction between domestic and international politics, the author refutes prevailing arguments that international efforts cannot curb government behavior and that is entirely a domestic process. Yet, she also shows that democracy promotion efforts are deficient and that outside actors often have no power and sometimes even do harm. Analyzing original data on over 600 monitoring missions and 1,300 elections, she grounds her investigation in solid historical context as well as studies of long-term developments over several elections in fifteen countries. She pinpoints the weaknesses of international election monitoring and looks at how practitioners and policymakers might help to improve them.'

EU--CSDP The EU Common Security and Defence Policy / by Panos Koutrakos. - Oxford, UK : Oxford University Press, 2013. l, 318 pages ; 24 cm. (Oxford European Union Law Library) ID number: 80024837 Type: M Call Number: 448 /00109 ISBN: 9780199692729 Author(s): 1. Koutrakos, Panos Bibliography: p. 287-302. Includes index. 'Presenting the first analytical overview of the legal foundations of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), this book provides a detailed examination of the law and practice of the EU's security policy. It provides a legal analysis of the Union's CSDP by examining the nexus of its substantive, institutional, and economic dimensions. Taking as its starting point the historical development of security and defence in the context of European integration, it outlines the legal framework created by the rules and procedures introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon. It examines the military operations and civilian missions undertaken by the Union, and looks at the policy context within which they are carried out. It analyses the international agreements concluded in this field and explores the links between the CSDP and other external policies of the Union. It also examines the

8

economic aspects of defence, and explores the issues of military capabilities and their regulation which are vital to the effective conduct of the CSDP.'

'Narrating over thirty centuries of 'unconventional' military conflicts, the author has created a work that traces guerrilla warfare and terrorism from antiquity to the present. Challenging the conventional wisdom that irregular warfare is the historical exception, he demonstrates that loosely organized partisan or guerrilla warfare is the norm, and that it is the clash of conventional, uniformed military forces that is the historical anomaly.'

Premier ouvrage analysant en profondeur cette discipline emergente, il permet d'apprehender clairement ce nouvel espace strategique.'

(Legacies of War) ID number: 80024838 Type: M Call Number: 355.4 /01814 ISBN: 9781572339149 Author(s): 1. Gambone, Michael D., 1963- Bibliography: p. 371-401. Includes index. 'The author explores America's approach to small wars since Vietnam, providing a fascinating analysis of the basic goals, missions, conduct, and consequences of modern American conflict. Going beyond a simple comparison of Vietnam to the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, he thoroughly tracks the continuous evolution of US intervention between these events, revealing a dramatic shift in the role of the American military to covert operations that require fluidity, creativity, and ingenuity. He examines in detail the many different forms of military intervention that America has taken in the last forty years, including actions in Central America in the , the first , airstrikes in Kosovo in the 1990s, and the , as well as the Iran-Contra affair, the drug war in Columbia, and the role of private military contractors such as Blackwater. After the Cold War, the author shows, American military missions served a wide variety of tasks - peacekeeping, humanitarian assistance, counter-terrorism - that significantly departed from conventional missions, a trend that continued and expanded after 9/11. By exploring the history and assessing the effectiveness of the small wars fought since Vietnam, the author reveals the importance of these smaller actions in modern military planning and operations and clearly traces the development of American warfare from the massive military machine of World War II into a complex hybrid of traditional and innovative techniques.'

NATION-STATE Nation State and Ethnic Diversity. - New York : Nova Science Publishers, 2013. vi, 187 pages ; 27 cm. (Global Political Studies) ID number: 80024849 Type: M Call Number: 321 /00869 ISBN: 9781622579679 Includes index. 'With the processes of globalization, we are more than ever confronted with the paradoxes inherent in modern statehood. The characteristics of modern statehood are : (1) securing freedom from feudal oppression or , (2) legislating for equality among citizens, (3) focusing on inclusion to incorporate the previously excluded into the system and finally (4), of the utmost importance, establishing the principle of individualism as a primary goal. The social construct of ethnicity gives rise to a second paradox. It develops as a material force if and when it grips the masses. Logically, any such construct as ethnicity is exclusive to the extent on which it depends on otherness. The erection of hegemonic structures to deal with these issues and also with the confrontation of shifting borders is at the core of this book.'

Waves of War : , State Formation, and Ethnic Exclusion in the Modern World / by Andreas Wimmer. - Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2013. xi, 328 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics) ID number: 80024851 Type: M the Modern World. Call Number: 321 /00870 ISBN: 9781107025554 Author(s): 1. Wimmer, Andreas Bibliography: p. 297-317. Includes index. 'Why did the nation-state emerge and proliferate across the globe ? How is this process related to the wars fought in the modern era ? This book offers a new perspective on these issues. Analyzing datasets that cover the entire world over long stretches of time, the author shows that political power and legitimacy are central to our understanding of nation building, ethnic politics and the violent conflicts associated with both. He argues that shifting from dynastic or imperial legitimacy to rule in the name of a nationally defined people was both the consequence and the cause of wars between and within states. Once the 'like over like' principle was established, the ethno-political inequality that characterized nation-states with weak institutional capacity led to further ethnic conflict. This book demonstrates why nationalism and ethnic politics are crucial for a proper understanding of world and domestic politics over the past 200 years.'

(Thirdworlds) ID number: 80024833 Type: M Call Number: 323 /01328 ISBN: 9780415500098 Includes index. 'A quarter of a century has now passed since the historic popular uprising that led to the overthrow of the in the . The mass movement known as the 'People Power ' was not only pivotal to the democratic transition within the Philippines, but it also became an inspiration for subsequent mass movements leading to further democratic transitions throughout the Third World and in the former Communist bloc in Eastern Europe and the . However, the neoliberal economic policies subsequently pursued by newly democratic governments throughout the Third World led all but the most celebratory observers to note the constrained and limited nature of these formal political transitions. This volume poses the question of the extent to which 'people power' has been able to play an active role resisting neoliberalism and deepen substantive democracy and social justice. Through a series of case studies of the regions and individual countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, the contributions in this volume provide a new set of original and in-depth critical assessments of the nature of the longer-term impact of the democratic transitions commencing in the 1980s and continuing until the present, and questioning their impact and potential influence on human dignity, freedom, justice, and self-determination, and thus opening new avenues of enquiry into the future of democracy.'

NUCLEAR ARMS CONTROL AND DISARMAMENT A New START Model for Transparency in Nuclear Disarmament / by Tamara Patton... [et al.]. - Geneva : UNIDIR, 2013. viii, 36 pages ; 30 cm. ID number: 80024865 Type: M Call Number: 327.3 /00711 Author(s): 1. Patton, Tamara 2. Podvig, Pavel 3. Schell, Phillip 'Transparency and accountability are important elements of nuclear disarmament. The action plan adopted at the 2010 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference encouraged the nuclear weapon states to agree on a reporting standard that would help demonstrate progress in their commitment to pursue reductions of nuclear arsenals. This study presents a model for such reporting, based on the approach developed by the Russian Federation and the United States in the New START treaty. As the study demonstrates, the framework of the US-Russian nuclear disarmament process could serve as the foundation for a multilateral transparency and accountability regime, and provide a basis for closer cooperation and confidence-building measures among all NPT member states to help advance the goal of nuclear disarmament.'

NUCLEAR DETERRENCE--ASIA Asia, the US and Extended Nuclear Deterrence : Atomic Umbrellas in the 21st Century / by Andrew O'Neil. - Abingdon, UK : Routledge, 2013. xii, 176 pages ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024846 Type: M Call Number: 623 /01173 ISBN: 9780415644938 Author(s): 1. O'Neil, Andrew Bibliography: p. 153-170. Includes index. 'Since the end of the Cold War, significant attention has focused on the issue of nuclear deterrence and in particular whether formal nuclear security guarantees from nuclear weapons states to non-nuclear weapons states involving the possible use of nuclear weapons have a place in the twenty-first century global strategic landscape. Growing support for nuclear disarmament in the US and elsewhere has seen serious doubts being raised about the ongoing utility of extended nuclear deterrence. This book provides the first detailed analysis of the way in which extended nuclear deterrence operates in contemporary Asia. It addresses the following key questions : What does the role of extended nuclear deterrence in Asia tell us about the broader role of extended nuclear deterrence in the contemporary international system ? Is this role likely to change significantly in the years ahead ? The author uses a theoretical and historical framework to analyse the contemporary and future dynamics of extended nuclear deterrence in Asia and challenges many of the existing orthodox perspectives on the topic.'

PEACE-BUILDING Peace Operation Success : A Comparative Analysis. - Leiden : Nijhoff, 2013. ix, 186 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024863 Type: M Call Number: 341.2 /00519 ISBN: 9789004227118 Includes index. 'This book addresses the critical need to understand when peace operations are effective and when they are failing, in order to identify the potential need for new approaches. In a field which often relies on vague benchmarks, the editors offer one of the few systematic efforts at assessing peacekeeping success. The essays in this volume use the framework provided in their book 'Evaluating Peace Operations', for application to several recent cases of peace operations. The result is not only a greater understanding of those operations, but also a range of real world suggestions for how the framework might be tailored for use in different contexts.'

PETROLEUM INDUSTRY AND TRADE Petro-Aggression : When Oil Causes War / by Jeff Colgan. - Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2013. xiv, 312 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. ID number: 80024835 Type: M Call Number: 355 /00617 ISBN: 9781107029675 Author(s): 1. Colgan, Jeff, 1975- Bibliography: p. 272-291. Includes index. 'Oil is the world's single most important commodity and its political effects are pervasive. The author extends the idea of the resource curse into the realm of international relations, exploring how countries form their foreign policy preferences and intentions. Why are some but not all oil-exporting 'petrostates' aggressive ? To answer this question, a theory of aggressive foreign policy preferences is developed and then tested, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The book shows that oil creates incentives that increase a petrostate's aggression, but also incentives for the opposite.

PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES (INTERNATIONAL LAW) Privatising War : Private Military and Security Companies under Public International Law / by Lindsey Cameron, Vincent Chetail. - Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2013. xxxv, 720 pages ; 24 cm. ID number: 80024843 Type: M Call Number: 355.2 /00394 ISBN: 9781107032408 Author(s): 1. Cameron, Lindsey 2. Chetail, Vincent Bibliography: p. 678-707. Includes index. 'A growing number of states use private military and/or security companies (PMSCs) for a variety of tasks which, in the past century, have primarily been fulfilled by soldiers. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the law that applies to PMSCs active in situations of armed conflict, focusing on international humanitarian law. It examines the limits in international law on how states may use private actors, taking the debate beyond the question of whether PMSCs are mercenaries. The authors delve into issues such as how PMSCs are bound by humanitarian law, whether their staff are civilians or combatants and how the use of force in self-defence relates to direct participation in hostilities, a key issue for an industry that operates by exploiting the right to use force in self-defence. Throughout, the authors identify how existing legal obligations, including under state and individual criminal responsibility, should play a role in the regulation of the industry.'

SOMALIA--POLITICS AND GOVERNMENT Getting Somalia Wrong ? : Faith, War and Hope in a Shattered State / by Mary Harper. - London : Zed Books, 2012. xiii, 217 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm. (African Arguments) ID number: 80024832 Type: M Call Number: 321 /00871 ISBN: 9781842779323 Author(s): 1. Harper, Mary Bibliography: p. 208-209. Includes index. 'Somalia is a failed state, representing a threat to itself, its neighbours and the wider world. In recent years, it has become notorious for the piracy off its coast and the rise of Islamic extremism, opening it up as a new 'southern front' in the war on terror. At least that is how it is inevitably portrayed by politicians and in the media. The author presents here the first comprehensive account of the chaos into which the country has descended and the United States' renewed involvement there. In doing so, she argues that viewing Somalia through the prism of al-Qaeda risks further destabilizing the country and the entire Horn of Africa, while also showing that though the country may be a failed state, it is far from being a failed society. In reality, alternative forms of business, justice, education and local politics have survived and even flourished. Provocative in its analysis, the author shows that until the international community starts to 'get it right' the consequences will be devastating, not just for Somalia, but for the world.'

ID number: 80024841 Type: M Call Number: 341.2 /00517 ISBN: 9780415506366 Includes index. 'South China Sea (SCS) issues are complex and dynamic, ranging from historic claims to present day , from military security to regional stability, from rhetorical appeasements to hand-line national interests, from intraregional competition to extraregional involvement. The submissions made in 2009 by several Southeast Asian states to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) respecting outer limits of extended continental shelves beyond 200 nautical miles in the South China Sea resulted in renewed attention to the maritime disputes over the insular features and the waters of the South China Sea among several claimant States. Questions have resurfaced about the future of cooperation in the region. Furthermore, the improvement of cross-Strait relations between and China after 2008 has added a new element to the evolution of South China Sea issues. This book describes these recent developments in depth and provides an examination of possible future developments in the South China Sea.'

Miere, Christian Le 'China's rise casts a vast and uncertain shadow over the regional balance of power in the Asia-Pacific, and nowhere is this clearer than in the South China Sea (SCS). The significance of the fraught territorial disputes in this potentially resource-rich sea extends far beyond the small groupings of islands that are at their heart, and into the world of great-power politics. As the struggle for hegemony between the US and China intersects with the overlapping aspirations of emerging, smaller nations, the risk of escalation to regional conflict is real. The authors cut through the complexities of these disputes with a clear-sighted, and much-needed, analysis of the assorted strategies deployed in support of the multiple and competing claims in the SCS. They make a compelling case that the course of these disputes will determine whether the regional order in Southeast Asia is one of cooperation, or one of competition and even conflict.'

'La Revolution syrienne, qui a debute en mars 2011, participe de la vague democratique qui traverse le monde arabe depuis decembre 2010. Pourtant, la ou les protestataires tunisiens et egyptiens sont parvenus a renverser leurs despotes en quelques semaines, la contestation syrienne s'est heurtee a une repression dechainee. C'est que, pour l'emporter sur la 'Syrie d'Assad', les forces revolutionnaires doivent non seulement affronter la barbarie du regime, mais aussi denouer le lacis des ingerences etrangeres, puisque Assad est passe maitre dans la manipulation des crises internationales a son profit. La Syrie actuelle, nee sur les ruines de l'Empire ottoman, a la fin du premier conflit mondial, dont les frontieres ont ete dessinees par les puissances europeennes en 1920, est le fruit du deni colonial du droit a l'autodetermination. Et c'est cette exigence d'autodetermination, par la voie civile et militaire, qui alimente le soulevement populaire. Un tel renversement de perspective fait que la chute de la maison Assad aura des retombees encore plus considerables que les revolutions de Tunisie et d'Egypte sur l'ensemble d'une region geostrategique, pensee comme telle au debut du XXe siecle : le Moyen-Orient. L'enjeu n'est rien de moins que de remettre le peuple syrien au centre de sa propre histoire, qui fait de lui le 'coeur de l'arabite' et l'heritier d'une longue tradition culturelle et politique. Le ballet diplomatique et les rivalites regionales peuvent encore aujourd'hui entretenir l'illusion d'une Syrie-theatre ou se meneraient des 'guerres par procuration', l'essentiel se passe desormais a l'interieur de cet espace syrien ou, loin du regard des observateurs etrangers, murit la Syrie de demain, et se joue donc l'avenir de la region. Ceci est le premier livre consacre a la Revolution syrienne qui mele perspective historique, analyse d'actualite et reflexion prospective.'

'The future of the Taiwan Strait is more wide open than at any other time in recent decades. Tensions between China and Taiwan have eased since 2008. But the movement toward full rapprochement remains fragile. Whether the two sides of the Strait can sustain and expand a cooperative relationship after years of mutual distrust and fear is still uncertain. The waters of the Strait are uncharted, and each side worries about shoals beneath the surface. The current engagement between Beijing and Taipei may make possible a solution to their six-decade-long dispute. Whether, when, and how that might happen is, however, shrouded in doubt. China fears the island's permanent separation, by way of either an overt move to de jure independence or continued refusal to unify with the mainland. Taiwan fears subordination to an authoritarian regime that does not have Taipei's interests at heart. And the United States worries about the stability

And he extrapolates on the likely future of cross-Strait relations. He also discusses America's stake, analyzing possible ramifications for US interests in the critically important East Asia region and recommends steps to protect those interests.'

Le monde arabe et iranien etait devenu l'Orient d'une Turquie qui se voulait fermement ancree dans la modernite occidentale. Le contraste est aujourd'hui saisissant : la Turquie en plein renouveau, progressivement liberee des tabous du kemalisme, reinvestit rapidement le Moyen-Orient, devenu terrain d'expansion economique et d'experimentation diplomatique. Elle se positionne comme une puissance regionale a part entiere, sur le mode du soft power. Le Moyen-Orient est meme parfois presente comme l'alternative a une perspective europeenne en berne.

Kozyulin, Vadim The future of Afghanistan and Central Asia depends to a very large extent on Washington's plans for the region, and to a very small extent on the Taliban. Keeping track of the geopolitical thinking in the White House is all the more important because the United States is entering a period of depression. As an acceptable instrument of overcoming that depression, Washington may choose to end one conflict or to begin another. Barack Obama has announced that the coalition forces will be pulled out of Afghanistan by the end of 2014. What are the reasons to believe that the American project called Afghanistan-2014 has a chance of succeeding ?

CRISIS MANAGEMENT--EU EU Civilian Crisis Management and Organizational Learning / by Raphael Bossong., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 94-112.) ID Number: JA029265 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Bossong, Raphael Commentators and policy-makers stress the need to learn the lessons of EU civilian crisis management. Yet despite numerous case studies on mission performance, we know little about the EU's overall capacity for such learning. The first part of this article outlines a theoretical framework for analyzing organizational learning in the context of peace operations. It recommends focusing on administrative reform and conceptual development in Brussels, and lists various factors that are expected to facilitate or inhibit organizational learning cycles. On this basis, the second part presents a historical survey of the EU's learning efforts in civilian crisis management. Despite a dynamic expansion of mission tasks as well as corresponding review processes, organizational learning has remained haphazard and limited to capacity expansion or mission support requirements. Only since 2009 did the EU invest in more formalized lessons-learning processes, which led to more systematic information gathering and more in-depth conceptual discussions. So far, however, these initiatives could not overcome political constraints to more ambitious reforms of EU peace operations.

CYBERSPACE--SECURITY MEASURES--EUROPE Cyber Insecurity as a National Threat : Overreaction from Germany, France and the UK ? / by Clement Guitton., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 21-35.) ID Number: JA029267 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Guitton, Clement The US billion dollars investments in cyber security are creating a securitisation of cyberspace. What has happened meanwhile in Europe ? The argument is threefold. First, cyber threats were raised to the national threat level in Germany (2006), France (2008) and the UK (2008), but the justifications put forward for such an upgrade did not hold, as well as invested resources at that point in time. Second, cyber security strategy followed up this upgrade and designed a framework to tackle the threat that was found coherent with the assessment of the respective national security strategies. Third, cyber insecurity stemmed from criminals operating in cyberspace. Therefore, deterring criminals should have been a the core of tackling cyber insecurity but the defence strategies of France, Germany and the UK were instead focused on mitigating the effects of cyber attacks.

ID Number: JA029263 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Kempin, Ronja 2. Mawdsley, Jocelyn This article argues that rather than being an emancipatory step for the EU, the Common Security and Defence Policy in its current format represents a continuation of US strategic hegemony. Using a neo-Gramscian model of hegemony, by considering both civilian and military aspects of CSDP, the article show how US ability to export its strategic doctrine to EU member states is undiminished. It argues that respect for US military achievements is a key reason for this, but that this may lead EU states to make poor strategic decisions, which moreover may lack political and public legitimacy.

EU--CSDP--OPERATIONS Common Security and Defence Policy Peace Operations in the Western Balkans : Impact and Lessons Learned / by Emil Kirchner., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 36-54.) ID Number: JA029268 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Kirchner, Emil Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions have increased substantially in number, functions and geographic spread since their inception in 2003. Despite their expansion in numbers and scope, especially in the Western Balkans, few systematic assessments of the contributions that CSDP missions make to peacekeeping and peacebuilding efforts have been undertaken to date. This article addresses that lacuna by assessing the contributions CSDP missions have made in recent years to peacekeeping and peacebuilding in the Western Balkans. It explores whether CSDP missions in that region : make an intrinsic contribution to peacekeeping and peacebuilding in those countries or merely profit (or take credit) from the initial groundwork laid by United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization missions; are adequately coordinated within the European Union and between the EU and other international organisations, including NATO; are sufficiently embedded or effectively linked to other EU instruments, such as the Stability and Association Process to the Western Balkans; and engender adequate elite or public support or 'ownership' in these countries.

EU--EUROPEAN GENDARMERIE FORCE The European Gendarmerie Force : A Solution in Search of Problems ? / by Giovanni Arcudi, Michael E. Smith., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 1-20.) ID Number: JA029266 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Arcudi, Giovanni 2. Smith, Michael E. By creating the European Gendarmerie Force (EGF), some European Union member states have devised a 'structured solution' to provide international civilian police capabilities. In this article, the authors undertake a critical examination of the EGF by first arguing that the EGF has been widely misrepresented, notably with regard to its general purpose and specific relationship to the EU. Next, they examine a range of security problems used to justify the EGF, arguing that its potential role in handling certain tasks has not been very carefully considered. Finally, the authors suggest that a major rationale behind the EGF was the shared desire among its members to draw attention to a policing model that is not universally appreciated, and to promote this model by offering its 'third-type' capabilities while keeping the EGF outside of EU institutional constraints. In the conclusion, the authors identify some crucial questions related to the EGF-EU relations, notably in terms of non-optimisation of EU resources and possible incoherence in EU/Common Security and Defence Policy efforts.

FRANCE--FOREIGN RELATIONS The Europeanization of France's Foreign Policy towards the Middle East Conflict : From Leadership to EU--Accommodation / by Patrick Muller., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 113-128.) ID Number: JA029269 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Muller, Patrick France's prominent role in Europe's policy towards the Arab-Israeli conflict represents an interesting case study for the evolving research on Europeanization. While France's involvement in the CFSP is frequently described as a case of national projection through the EU, this view needs qualification. Proposing a novel conceptual categorization of different member state approaches to European foreign policy cooperation, this article shows that France's involvement in Europe's Middle East policy has gone through different phases. Guided by de Gaulle's politique arabe, France assumed a 'leadership' role in Europe's common foreign policy, leaving a strong mark on its collective diplomacy. Since the 1990s, however, a number of complementary changes have weakened France's capacity for leadership, challenging well-established French foreign policy positions. France's response to the mounting constraints of EU-level cooperation has oscillated between 're-nationalization' and efforts to 'facilitate' a common European approach, displaying a considerable degree of pragmatism and tactical adaptation.

INDIA--FOREIGN RELATIONS--SAUDI ARABIA India's Relationship with Saudi Arabia : Forging a Strategic Partnership / by Prasanta Kumar Pradhan., 2013. (STRATEGIC ANALYSIS, vol. 37, no. 2, March - April 2013, p. 231-241.) ID Number: JA029252 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Pradhan, Prasanta Kumar Trade has been the dominant factor in India's relationship with Saudi Arabia, with the import of oil being a major component. India views Saudi Arabia as a country with which it can forge security ties in order to deal with terrorism, piracy and criminal elements. Diplomatically, it could be a gateway for India into the wider Arab and Islamic world. In recent years, Saudi Arabia has reciprocated India's initiatives relating to issues of mutual interest. Although some hurdles remain, it is time for both countries to work towards building a strong strategic partnership.

The authors examine four aspects : causes of insurgency, outside support, strategies, and tactics. Based on an examination of quantitative and qualitative data, they make several arguments about the future. China could become increasingly involved in supporting insurgencies and counterinsurgencies if its economic and military power continues to increase and its global interest expands. In addition, insurgent groups will likely require less time to achieve high levels of sophistication for improvised explosive devices and other asymmetric tactics, which the authors expect they will use against more powerful mechanized counterinsurgent forces. They also expect that insurgent groups may take advantage of commercially-available technology to communicate, distribute propaganda, and recruit individuals. In addition, insurgents will likely make further use of encryption, anonymizing services, location-masking tools, and other related technologies to protect their online activities.

INTERNET--GOVERNMENT POLICY--ASIA, CENTRAL Central Asian Attitudes to Internet Governance and Cybersecurity / by Galiya Ibragimova., 2013. (SECURITY INDEX, vol. 19, no. 1, Winter 2013, p. 31-49.) ID Number: JA029233 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Ibragimova, Galiya Central Asia, a region where digital inequality was one of the most pressing problems only a few years ago, is now rapidly adopting information and telecommunication technologies. However, the development of internet infrastructure in the region is facing obvious difficulties. Attempts are being made to restrict access to websites of opposition parties and media outlets; attacks are being launched against sites criticizing the government; some news reports about events in the region are being filtered out. The article offers a comparative analysis of the approaches adopted by the Central Asia states to information security and internet governance.

NATO--RUSSIA (FEDERATION) The Russia-NATO Mistrust : Ethnophobia and the Double Expansion to Contain 'the Russian Bear' / by Andrei P. Tsygankov., 2013. (COMMUNIST AND POST-COMMUNIST STUDIES, vol. 46, no. 1, March 2013, p. 179-188.) ID Number: JA029259 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Tsygankov, Andrei P. This paper argues that Russian-Western mistrust persists due to historical and cultural developments with roots in the Cold War. The post-Cold War imbalance of power served to exacerbate the problem. The United States emerged as the world's superpower acting on perceived fears of Russia, whereas Russia's undermined capabilities dictated a defensive, rather than a hegemonic response. The paper analyzes the decision to expand NATO by excluding Russia from the process. It also asks why the process suddenly stopped in 2008. What changed the West's mind about the expansion was not a revised perception of Russia, but rather concern with its growing power and assertiveness as revealed by the Kremlin's use of force during the Caucasus' war.

PIRACY Maritime Security Beyond Military Operations : A Civilian Perspective / by Chris Trelawny., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, - March 2013, p. 48-52.) ID Number: JA029256 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Trelawny, Chris Maritime security is often discussed in terms of military strategy and the role and responsibilities of navies in countering piracy, terrorism and other security threats on the high seas. Equally important, if often overlooked, is the perspective of those whose security is being guaranteed in the first instance : coastal states and the civil maritime sector that serves global trade. The author discusses the need for a comprehensive maritime security strategy that takes into account coastal states' needs and the civil sector's security concerns.

PIRACY--SOMALIA--PREVENTION 'New Wars' at Sea : A Critical Transformative Approach to the Political Economy of Somali Piracy / by Gilberto Carvalho Oliveira., 2013. (SECURITY DIALOGUE, vol. 44, no. 1, February 2013, p. 3-18.) ID Number: JA029230 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Oliveira, Gilberto Carvalho Relying on the literature on the political economy of new wars, this article aims to challenge the policy articulation of Somali piracy through the security-development nexus in recent resolutions of the UN Security Council. The article's central argument is that the UN Security Council's assumption that the political economy of piracy can be transformed by external top-down intervention based on a formulaic security-development nexus seems to be bound to fail for two main reasons : first, the 'nexus' is based on a virtual liberal state-building project in Somalia that is disconnected from the local context involving piracy; second, the 'nexus' works as a securitized dispositif, hence prioritizing security goals over social changes. Therefore, instead of the liberal peace recipe proposed by the Security Council as remedy for everything, including piracy, the article suggests a critical transformative approach, centred in

actually existing forms of local politics and governance in areas affected by piracy, where the articulation between security and development can be made in a more balanced and nuanced way, taking into account the concrete needs of protection and development of people dependent on piracy.

POLICE--AFGHANISTAN Afghan Local Police in Helmand : Calculated Risk or Last Gamble ? / by Michael Stevens., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, February - March 2013, p. 64-70.) ID Number: JA029257 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Stevens, Michael As the end of the British combat role in Helmand approaches, the Afghan Local Police are coming under increasing scrutiny. In the time remaining, British and US mentors are working to reinforce this fragile pillar of the Afghan National Security Forces, knowing that the potential for dramatic success is balanced against the risk of serious failure.

PRIVATE MILITARY COMPANIES The United States, PMSCs and the State Monopoly on Violence : Leading the Way Towards Norm Change / by Elke Krahmann., 2013. (SECURITY DIALOGUE, vol. 44, no. 1, February 2013, p. 53-71.) ID Number: JA029231 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Krahmann, Elke The proliferation of private military and security companies (PMSCs) in Iraq and Afghanistan has raised many questions regarding the use of armed force by private contractors. This article addresses the question of whether the increased acceptance of PMSCs indicates a transformation of the international norm regarding the state monopoly on the legitimate use of armed force. Drawing on theoretical approaches to the analysis of norm change, the article employs four measures to investigate possible changes in the strength and meaning of this norm : modifications in state behaviour, state responses to norm violation, the promulgation of varying interpretations of the norm in national and international laws and regulations, and changes in norm discourse. Based on an analysis of empirical evidence from the United States of America and its allies, the article concludes that these measures suggest that the USA is leading the way towards a transformation of the international norm of the state monopoly on violence, involving a revised meaning. Although this understanding has not yet been formally implemented in international law, it has allowed a growing number of countries to tolerate, accept or legalize the use of armed force by PMSCs in the international arena.

RUSSIA (FEDERATION)--FOREIGN RELATIONS Outer Space as Russia's Soft-Power Tool / by Pavel Luzin., 2013. (SECURITY INDEX, vol. 19, no. 1, Winter 2013, p. 25-29.) ID Number: JA029232 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Luzin, Pavel Any success in a space exploration program is not defined solely by its specific results that can be used to achieve various foreign policy objectives. Another important criterion of success is the program's ability to bolster the country's international standing in various indirect ways. These indirect dividends open up a broad range of opportunities. The author argues that Russia is not making the full use of its 'soft power' potential because its government lacks a clear political strategy in this area. Analyzing opportunities, internal barriers and external factors, he provides possible scenarios for such a strategy.

SOCIAL MEDIA Losing Control ? Social Media and Military Influence / by Nigel Jones, Paul Baines., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, February - March 2013, p. 72-78.) ID Number: JA029258 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Jones, Nigel 2. Baines, Paul Social media are altering the way in which information is shared worldwide in new and unpredictable ways. The uses of social media as tools of military influence, however, are still to be explored. The authors analyse the significance of this change for the nature of strategic communication in the twenty-first century.

SOUTH OSSETIA WAR, 2008 The 2008 Russian-Georgian War via the Lens of Offensive Realism / by Emmanuel Karagiannis., 2013. (EUROPEAN SECURITY, vol. 22, no. 1, 2013, p. 74-93.) ID Number: JA029264 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Karagiannis, Emmanuel The Russian intervention in Georgia's breakaway republic of South Ossetia in August 2008, Moscow's first-ever use of military force against a sovereign state in the post-cold war period, deserves a theoretical explanation. By following the tenets of Offensive Realism, this article argues that the US-Russian competition in the South Caucasus is the main cause of the 2008 Russian-Georgian war. During the 1990s, the USA passed the buck to Turkey to contain Russian influence in the South Caucasus. In the early to mid-2000s, however, the Russian-Turkish relations were improved so rapidly that the USA opted, through NATO expansion, to step in as an offshore balancer. Following the Bush administration's decision to support the Georgian candidacy for NATO membership and Georgia's ill-fated attempt to seize South Ossetia, Moscow went to war to reestablish hegemony in the South Caucasus. In this way, as the theory of Offensive Realism claims, the Kremlin believes that the Russian state will enhance its chances of survival in the anarchical international system.

SYRIA--HISTORY--PROTESTS, 2011- The Syrian Cauldron / by Yury Fedorov., 2013. (SECURITY INDEX, vol. 19, no. 1, Winter 2013, p. 83-88.) ID Number: JA029236 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Fedorov, Yury The autumn of 2012 saw the completion of Syria's transformation into an important source of instability in the Middle East that draws attention away from other key international problems in the region, the Iranian nuclear crisis above all. The most plausible scenario for Syria is gradual fragmentation, with the nation turning into a set of separate enclaves, independent in all but name and chaotically interacting with each other.

Not Quite 'Zero Problems' : Ankara's Troubles in Syria / by Shashank Joshi, Aaron Stein., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, February - March 2013, p. 28-38.) ID Number: JA029254 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Joshi, Shashank 2. Stein, Aaron The ongoing civil conflict in Syria - a significant external security threat for neighbouring Turkey - has found Ankara unable to formulate a fully successful response. The authors argue that the recent deployment of NATO's Patriot missile-defence system is a compromise solution that indicates how dependent Turkish defence and security policy still is on its Western allies.

USA--FOREIGN RELATIONS--EUROPE Continued Drift, But Without the Acrimony : US-European Relations under Barack Obama / by Kristian L. Nielsen., 2013. (JOURNAL OF TRANSATLANTIC STUDIES, vol. 11, no. 1, March 2013, p. 83-108.) ID Number: JA029262 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Nielsen, Kristian L. If the measure of Barack Obama's success in mending US-European relations is whether the tone has improved, his presidency has been a great success. If the measure of success, however, is halting the drifting apart of policy preferences, the picture looks a lot less rosy. This article argues that the 'drift' in relations did not start and end with the Bush administration. Rather it reflects deep-seated preferences and very different world views on both sides. Given this, the best any one leader on either side can hope for is to manage relations with as little friction and acrimony as possible. The Obama administration realises that, and by this more limited measure, it has succeeded brilliantly.

USA--FOREIGN RELATIONS--TURKEY US-Turkish Relations in the Obama Era / by Beniamin Poghosyan., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, February - March 2013, p. 40-46.) ID Number: JA029255 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Poghosyan, Beniamin As the new-look Obama administration sets foreign policy goals for the coming four years, many of the changes that swept through the Middle East during the US president's first term will continue to reshape regional geopolitics. It is within this context that the relationship between the US and its NATO partner in the region, Turkey, could come to play a vital role. The author argues that after a period of apparent distance, during which Turkey prioritised its relations with non-Western allies, Ankara's recent policies show a renewed emphasis on its strategic alliance with the US in its attempt to successfully ride the waves of unrest in the Middle East.

WAR ON TERRORISM, 2001-2009 America's Trajectory in the Long War : Redirecting Our Efforts Toward Strategic Effects Versus Simply Tactical Gains / by Bryan Groves., 2013. (STUDIES IN CONFLICT AND TERRORISM, vol. 36, no. 1, January 2013, p. 26-48.) ID Number: JA029261 Type: ART Author(s): 1. Groves, Bryan After 9/11 the United States had a significant disconnect between its strategic and tactical efforts against violent global jihadists. Some American leaders and commanders are confusing effectiveness and success, improperly associating tactical disruption of enemy elements with strategic effect. While the country has won some important tactical victories, it is not clear that they are amounting to a strategic impact, or that the gains will last. The situation is complex, with various dynamics influencing America's prosecution of the Long War and its ability to be successful in the long term. This article looks at what those factors are and provides policy makers with tangible recommendations that, if implemented, will place America's counterterrorism efforts on a more strategic trajectory and hold greater promise of lasting impact.

WOMEN AND THE MILITARY Women in Combat / by Anthony King., 2013. (RUSI JOURNAL, vol. 158, no. 1, February - March 2013, p. 4-11.) ID Number: JA029253 Type: ART Author(s): 1. King, Anthony The US secretary of defense announced in January 2013 that, from 2016, women will be allowed to serve in ground-combat roles in the US armed forces. The UK is likely to soon be faced with the need to make a similarly historic decision, having answered key questions such as what is actually known so far about the integration of women into combat units, and its potential impact on cohesion. The author provides a fascinating comparison of the experiences of several Western armed forces, and concludes that in today's world of professional armies, it is not gender that determines cohesion, but training and competence.
