    World View: The 1994 Strategic Assessment from the Strategic Studies Institute

    World View: The 1994 Strategic Assessment from the Strategic Studies Institute Dr Steven Metz, Dr Earl H Tilford Jr Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "Each January the regional analysts at the U.S. Army Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) assess global trends that are most likely to determine the state of the world through the next decade. From these assessments study proposals are devised which focus on those issues and trends impacting on the requirements for maintaining America's Army as a strategic force during the coming years. In 1994, the analysts at SSI believe eight major determinants will dominantly influence U.S. interests, national military strategy, and the Army's posture."

  •  Ethnic Conflict: Implications for the Army of the Future

    Ethnic Conflict: Implications for the Army of the Future

    Ethnic Conflict: Implications for the Army of the Future Dr Gary L Guertner, Maj Gen William A Stofft Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "Ethnic conflict is an ascendant phenomenon replacing ideology as a social force most likely to promote violence and regional instability. The ferocity of ethnic violence and its potential for escalation increase the political pressures for U.S. leadership and collective engagement. The U.S. Army has a direct interest in ethnic-based conflicts because land power is the dominant means for intervention through coalition peacekeeping and peace-enforcement operations."

  •  The Mexican Military Approaches the 21st Century: Coping with a New World Order

    The Mexican Military Approaches the 21st Century: Coping with a New World Order

    The Mexican Military Approaches the 21st Century: Coping with a New World Order LTC Stephen J Wager Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "In speculating about the future of the Mexican military, a clear understanding of that institution's past can prove invaluable. As is the case with most institutions, the role of the military will evolve in some form from the missions it has performed in the past. The history of the army in the 20th century, like that of the nation in general, has centered first and foremost on the Mexican Revolution, which ravaged the country for 10 years (1910-20) and cost the lives of close to two million people. The army played a critical role in both the revolution and its outcome. It forged most of the political institutions that subsequently emerged and that provided Mexico with the relative economic and political stability that the nation has enjoyed since the 1920s."

    Where Does Cuba Stand?

    Where Does Cuba Stand? Prof Enrique A Baloyra Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "The crisis of the Cuban revolution has once again raised a number of security issues for the United States, along with important questions about the effectiveness and wisdom of the three- decade-old U.S. policy of containment and punishment. Many observers believe that the Castro regime is in its final hour, and that its passing may be accompanied by massive bloodshed and a new wave of refugees to southern Florida."

  •  The Future of Insurgency

    The Future of Insurgency

    The Future of Insurgency Dr Steven Metz Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "Security professionals and strategists are discovering the post-cold war world is as rife with persistent, low-level violence as its predecessors. In fact, many regions are experiencing a rise in the amount of conflict in the absence of restraints previously imposed by the superpowers. Since frustration in many parts of the Third World is actually increasing, insurgency--the use of low-level, protracted violence to overthrow a political system or force some sort of fundamental change in the political and economic status quo--will be an enduring security problem."

  •  Turkey's Strategic Position at the Crossroads of World Affairs

    Turkey's Strategic Position at the Crossroads of World Affairs

    Turkey's Strategic Position at the Crossroads of World Affairs Dr Stephen J Blank, Dr William T Johnsen, Dr Stephen C Pelletiere Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "By virtue of its strategic location at the intersection of Europe and Asia, Turkey plays a pivotal role in the post-cold war system of states. It lies, one could say, at the epicenter of a series of conflicts, real and potential, in both continents. It also has enjoyed noticeable growth in both economic prosperity and democracy since 1980. And because Turkey has been, and remains, a faithful U.S. ally, Washington has called upon it to play a role in the Balkans, Near East, and former Soviet empire commensurate with its new-found political and economic development."

  •  The Army and Multinational Peace Operations: Problems and Solutions

    The Army and Multinational Peace Operations: Problems and Solutions

    The Army and Multinational Peace Operations: Problems and Solutions COL William J Doll Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "Effectiveness in multinational peace operations has become an important issue for the Army. In addition to traditional peacekeeping to monitor cease-fires and truces, the Army is now involved in activities such as peace enforcement and the reconstruction of failed states. While the Army has well-established procedures for traditional peacekeeping, it clearly has much to analyze and learn about these new types of multinational peace operations."

  •  The Future of the United Nations: Implications for Peace Operations

    The Future of the United Nations: Implications for Peace Operations

    The Future of the United Nations: Implications for Peace Operations Dr Steven Metz Book by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "President Clinton has expressed clear support for greater U.N. effectiveness in the peaceful resolution of conflict and the organization of collective security. This entails finding ways to improve U.N. peacekeeping, peacemaking, and peace-enforcement. The U.S. Army will have a vital role in this process and thus must better understand both the U.N. itself and the key issues and questions associated with peace support operations."
