Other military services train and deploy or wait for surge requirements to emerge. For the Coast Guard, “24/7” is the reality of operational tempo and demands. “Deployment” is not a phase of the development of the force; it is an everyday activity. Strategic Culture and Its Relationship to Naval Strategy. 24 Roger W. Barnett The Chief of Naval Operations has called for the creation of a new maritime strategy. Its predecessor of the 1980s was looked upon favorably by the naval community because it was in harmony with Navy strategic culture. If a new strategy is to be successful, it too must resonate with Navy strategic culture. The Limits of Intelligence in Maritime Counterproliferation Operations . 35 Craig H. Allen The long-term practical and political success of the Proliferation Security Initiative will be determined in large measure by the availability of timely and accurate intelligence, and by whether decision makers and operators are more willing to err on the side of safety or caution. Asia Rising China’s Future Nuclear Submarine Force Insights from Chinese Writings. 55 Andrew S. Erickson and Lyle J. Goldstein While Western defense analysts have tended to focus on China’s diesel submarine force, Chinese open-source writings suggest that PRC strategists are keenly aware that nuclear submarines form a potent means to project power into far-flung sea areas and also may be critical to Beijing’s evolving strategic deterrence objectives.

Grubb, U.S. Navy The Republic of China owns one of the world’s great merchant marines. But would the ships it has registered overseas run a Chinese blockade? Could Taiwan sustain itself, even at a basic level, if they did not? Leadership and Decision Duty at All Costs. 103 George M. Clifford III When, if ever, should an American military officer request to depart in protest because of policy objections? When, if ever, should an officer who has departed for such reasons speak publicly about those objections? An Episcopal priest (and retired U.S. Navy chaplain) offers a model for use in answering those and other such anguishing questions. Organization and Management Purple Medicine The Case for a Joint Medical Command . 129 Capt. Arthur M. Smith, MC, U.S. Navy Reserve (Retired), Capt. David A. Lane, MC, U.S. Navy, and Vice Adm. James A. Zimble, MC, U.S. Navy (Retired) The Military Health System requires radical restructuring to ensure medical readiness, improve cost management, and integrate health care delivery. A new Joint Medical Command would be able to articulate—and implement—more effectively the medical support required by an increasingly joint and interdependent defense establishment.

    Accountability and the Promise of Performance: in Search of The

    Accountability and the Promise of Performance: In Search of the Mechanisms Melvin J. Dubnick Professor of Political Science & Public Administration Rutgers University – Newark & Visiting Professor Institute of Governance, Public Policy and Social Research Queen’s University, Belfast [email protected] Prepared for delivery at the 2003 Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association, August 28-31, Philadelphia, PA & Conference of the European Group of Public Administration (EGPA) September 3-6, 2003, Lisbon, Portugal ver: 8/29/03 Self-evident truths are frequently invoked when scholars and policymakers propose political reforms. We often hear: "It is obvious that X is true, therefore we need to do Y." The implication of this assertion is that common sense dictates our understanding of the problem and the solution. But is it really the case that X is true? And is Y really the best response? The fact that something is widely believed does not make it correct. (Ostrom 2000) Introduction: The Promise of Performance Among the pervasive notions characterizing contemporary public administration rhetoric and scholarship is the idea of accountability as the solution to a wide range of problems. According to proponents of accountability-centered reforms, enhanced accountability will (among other things) result in · greater transparency and openness in a world threatened by the powerful forces of hierarchy and bureaucratization (the promise of democracy) (O'Donnell 1998; Schedler, Diamond, and Plattner 1999); · access to impartial arenas where abuses of authority can be challenged and judged (the promise of justice) (Borneman 1997; Miller 1998; Ambos 2000); · pressures and oversight that will promote appropriate behavior on the part of public officials (the promise of ethical behavior) (Gray and Jenkins 1993; Anechiarico and Jacobs 1994; Morgan and Reynolds 1997; Dubnick 2003c); and · improvements in the quality of government services (the promise of performance).
  • Chapter 4: Answers and Comments

    Chapter 4: Answers and Comments

    Chapter 4: Answers and Comments Answers: I. True or False 1. See textbook. 2. False. One of the most common mistakes. The focus should be even if the premise is true, the reasoning is weak. 3. See textbook. 4. True. We could criticize the truth of the premise as well, but this would not be relevant to the focus of a fallacy of relevance. 5. True. There is nothing inherently wrong with loyalty as a behavior or an emotion. The point is there should be good reasons, which we have thought about, for our loyalty commitments. 6. FALSE! Two Wrongs is a fallacy of relevance, so the focus is not on the truth of the premise. The focus should be on the reasoning. Usually the premise is true, but irrelevant to why either item compared should be considered good. 7. See textbook. 8. False. The name-calling is always in the premise. 9. False. In our age many in-group appeals are aimed at sub-cultural groups. People who believe they are more intelligent than most, more cool, more modern, etc. 10. True. 11. True. For a complete argument analysis, these two points must be made. 12. False. It was used as an example for structuring arguments. It will be covered in Chapter 5. We will see that it is a fallacy of relevance and it always has a premise that is relevant to the conclusion. 13. False. There could be very good reasons for a particular act of loyalty. 14. True. In this chapter there will be situations where the difference between one label and another is inconsequential.

    Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I

    Essential Logic Ronald C. Pine Chapter 4: INFORMAL FALLACIES I All effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare necessities and then must be expressed in a few stereotyped formulas. Adolf Hitler Until the habit of thinking is well formed, facing the situation to discover the facts requires an effort. For the mind tends to dislike what is unpleasant and so to sheer off from an adequate notice of that which is especially annoying. John Dewey, How We Think Introduction In everyday speech you may have heard someone refer to a commonly accepted belief as a fallacy. What is usually meant is that the belief is false, although widely accepted. In logic, a fallacy refers to logically weak argument appeal (not a belief or statement) that is widely used and successful. Here is our definition: A logical fallacy is an argument that is usually psychologically persuasive but logically weak. By this definition we mean that fallacious arguments work in getting many people to accept conclusions, that they make bad arguments appear good even though a little commonsense reflection will reveal that people ought not to accept the conclusions of these arguments as strongly supported. Although logicians distinguish between formal and informal fallacies, our focus in this chapter and the next one will be on traditional informal fallacies.1 For our purposes, we can think of these fallacies as "informal" because they are most often found in the everyday exchanges of ideas, such as newspaper editorials, letters to the editor, political speeches, advertisements, conversational disagreements between people in social networking sites and Internet discussion boards, and so on.

China has advanced technology in the basic nuclear science including liquid metal breeder reactor technology, nuclear material, medium and small size power plants, and isotope production technology, and also China has complete nuclear fuel cycle technology. However, China still has low nuclear power plant technology. Therefore, it is expected that China may have complementary cooperative relationship with Korea where is at the stage of having self-reliable nuclear power plant technology. On the basis of the complementary relationship with China, it is expected that Korea may have an access to the advanced Chinese nuclear science technology, and may have a good opportunity to explore the Chinese market actively exporting excellent Korean nuclear power plant technology, and further may have a good position to the neighboring Asian countries' nuclear power plant markets. From this perspective, general Chinese social status, major nuclear R&D activity status, and correct nuclear power plant and technology status have been analyzed in this report, and this report is expected to be a useful resource for cooperating with China in future.
