  • Seizures of Western Diplomatic Facilities Historical Timelines, 1979–2019
    Research Report C O R P O R A T I O N JACQUELINE GARDNER BURNS, CHRISTOPHER A. MOUTON, ADAM R. GRISSOM, JOHN P. GODGES Seizures of Western Diplomatic Facilities Historical Timelines, 1979–2019 hen local or international crises occur around the world, American and allied dip- lomatic facilities are frequent targets of contention and violence. As the most visible Wsymbols of Western governments and their policies, such diplomatic facilities are also common targets of international terrorist organizations. To develop effective response capabilities, it is necessary to know the timelines under which response forces will need to operate. Specifically, a response will be effective only if it occurs before the attack culminates. We conducted a review of attacks on Western diplomatic facilities as part of a larger project that analyzed possible responses to attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities. To assess the parameters of an effective response, we reviewed all historical attacks on Western diplomatic facil- ities over the past four decades and identified any relevant trends in the timelines of those attacks. We found that the trends confirm the need for a three-tiered planning approach consisting of Early Security Augmentation, Anticipatory Security Augmentation, and In KEY FINDINGS Extremis Response. Q There have been 33 successful seizures of Western diplomatic facilities since 1979, outside of areas of active armed conflict involving U.S. or allied contingency forces. Methodology Q The majority of attacks culminated in two hours or less, and over We compiled data on all embassy 90 percent culminated in six hours or less. seizures that were either fully or par- Q In the past decade, however, the median attack duration was four tially successful from 1979 to 2019.

  • L'evoluzione Del Concetto Di War by Proxy. Cause, Effetti, Nuove
    CENTRO ALTI STUDI CENTRO MILITARE PER LA DIFESA DI STUDI STRATEGICI Cap. (ris. sel.) Elisabetta Trenta L’evoluzione del concetto di war by proxy. Cause, effetti, nuove applicazioni nei conflitti asimmetrici e negli scenari di crisi odierni (AL-S-08) Il Centro Militare di Studi Strategici (CeMiSS) è un organismo istituito nel 1987 che gestisce, nell’ambito e per conto della Difesa, la ricerca su temi di carattere strategico. Tale attività permette di accedere, valorizzandoli, a strumenti di conoscenza ed a metodologie di analisi indispensabili per dominare la complessità degli attuali scenari e necessari per il raggiungimento degli obiettivi che le Forze Armate, e più in generale la collettività nazionale, si pongono in tema di sicurezza e difesa. La mission del Centro, infatti, nasce dalla ineludibile necessità del Ministero della Difesa di svolgere un ruolo di soggetto attivo all’interno del mondo della cultura e della conoscenza scientifica interagendo efficacemente con tale realtà, contribuendo quindi a plasmare un contesto culturale favorevole, agevolando la conoscenza e la comprensione delle problematiche di difesa e sicurezza, sia presso il vasto pubblico che verso opinion leader di riferimento. Più in dettaglio, il Centro: ● effettua studi e ricerche di carattere strategico politico-militare; ● sviluppa la collaborazione tra le Forze Armate e le Università, centri di ricerca italiani, stranieri ed Amministrazioni Pubbliche; ● forma ricercatori scientifici militari; ● promuove la specializzazione dei giovani nel settore della ricerca; ● pubblica e diffonde gli studi di maggiore interesse. Le attività di studio e di ricerca sono prioritariamente orientate al soddisfacimento delle esigenze conoscitive e decisionali dei Vertici istituzionali della Difesa, riferendosi principalmente a situazioni il cui sviluppo può determinare significative conseguenze anche nella sfera della sicurezza e difesa.

  • United States Foreign Policy Under President Donald Trump and the Fall of Islamic State in Syria
    Economics And Social Sciences Academic Journal Vol.2, No.6; June- 2020 ISSN (5282 -0053); p –ISSN (4011 – 230X) UNITED STATES FOREIGN POLICY UNDER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP AND THE FALL OF ISLAMIC STATE IN SYRIA 1Okey Oji Ph.D. and 2Raymond Adibe PhD 1Director of Research National Boundary Commission, Nigeria. 2Department of Political Science University of Nigeria ABSTRACT: The paper investigated the United States foreign policy and the fall of Islamic State (IS) in Syria. Specifically, it investigated if the non-prioritization of regime change by the Trump administration, and the consequent emphasis on US war against IS accounted for the fall of the terrorist group in Syria. Our findings revealed that the US interest in Syria under President Trump has been narrowed down to the war against terror, particularly the IS terrorist group. The US government under President Trump has shown little or no political will to commit US resources to ending. With President Trump administration’s refusal to fund anti-Assad rebel groups fighting the government, it severely weakened such groups and provided the Syrian government a huge opportunity to concentrate in battling IS to reclaim its territories. The paper relied on documentary data. It recommends the need to find a political solution to the crisis in Syria since it was what provided the avenue for IS to thrive in the first instance. As long as the civil war in Syria persists, the country will remain vulnerable to the possibility of terrorist groups operating from its territory. Keywords: United States, Foreign Policy, Syrian Conflict, Islamic State and Regime Change INTRODUCTION Senate.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS 5 PROTECTING THE AIR WE BREATHE 15 PROTECTING OUR WATER 19 MAKING OUR COMMUNITIES HEALTHIER 24 SAFER CHEMICALS 26 LAND MANAGEMENT 29 IMPROVING HOMELAND SECURITY 32 CROSS CUTTING RESEARCH 2 For more than 45 years, EPA has focused on its mission of protecting human health and the environment by protecting the air we breathe, the water we enjoy and drink, and the land on which we live. Every step along the way has been supported by science. Science and technology have served as the Agency’s foundation to uphold the nation’s landmark environmental statutes. Along the way, the Agency has continually honed its research to ensure that the information, innovative tools, and technical solutions EPA delivers match the real-world environmental and public health challenges faced by states, tribes, and communities. From communities struggling to rehabilitate contaminated land in ways that revitalize local economies, to small towns looking for affordable new technologies to protect their drinking water systems, EPA research is making a difference. EPA scientists are working with farmers in Oregon and Vermont seeking to reduce nutrient pollution, and with state and local governments in Utah and Michigan to reduce particle and ozone air pollution and protect public health. This report highlights these stories and more. Scientific and technical expertise are critical, but finding solutions also requires genuine cooperation. EPA scientists are working with partners across the country to deliver solutions to a wide range of environmental challenges. The impact is a noticeably cleaner and healthier environment.
