  • 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.

  • An Interview with Tracey Ann Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo
    An Interview with Tracey Ann Jacobson, U.S. Ambassador to Kosovo Tracey Ann Jacobson has been the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Kosovo since 2012. She previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Turkmenistan (2003-2006) and Tajikistan (2006-2009), and had other international assignments in Nassau, Bahamas; Moscow, Russia; and Seoul, South Korea. Jacobson has also held several positions within the U.S. government, such as Deputy Director of the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) in Virginia and Deputy Executive Secretary at the National Security Council at the White House. The Politic: Why did you join the Foreign Service? There are two answers to that question. One of them is that I was naturally drawn to public service. My father was in the military. Both my grandmother and grandfather served in the British military in WWII, so we have a family tradition of public service. But the real reason is because of a party. I was working on my master’s degree in international relations. I was working as a financial analyst, and I figured I would probably do that after graduation. My friends had a row house in Georgetown, and they were going to throw a party on the Saturday that they all took the Foreign Service Exam. And I said, “Ok, I’ll just come to the party.” My friend Angela said, “You can’t just come to the party. You have to take the Foreign Service Test with me.” So I signed up, and I showed up at this hotel at 7:30 on Saturday morning.

    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.
