  •  Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, and the New Great Game

    Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, and the New Great Game

    Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, and the New Great Game Dr M Ehsan Ahrari Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "In this monograph, Dr. Ehsan Ahrari, of the Armed Forces Staff College, assesses Jihadi groups from the framework of a new “Great Game” for influence in Central Asia involving an array of states. He argues that, if this competition leads to increased violence, outside states including the United States could be drawn in. On the other hand, if the region stabilizes, it could provide solid economic and political partners for the United States. A well-designed American strategy, Ahrari contends, might help avoid crises or catastrophe."

  •  Educating International Security Practitioners: Preparing to Face the Demands of the 21st Century International Security Environment

    Educating International Security Practitioners: Preparing to Face the Demands of the 21st Century International Security Environment

    Educating International Security Practitioners: Preparing to Face the Demands of the 21st Century International Security Environment Dr Linda P Brady, Dr Robert H Dorff, BG Daniel J Kaufman, Dr James M Smith Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "The end of the Cold War brought challenges not only for practitioners of national security policy and strategy but for those involved in the education and development of future strategic leaders and security policy practitioners. One of the primary contributors to this book, Professor James M. Smith of the U.S. Air Force Academy, launched this project in initial conversations in 1996-97 with Brigadier General Daniel J. Kaufman of the U.S. Military Academy, Dr. Robert L. Wendzel of the Air War College, and Colonel Jeffrey D. McCausland of the U.S. Army War College. All four shared a concern about the future of security studies generally, but especially about the education and development of military officers as future strategic leaders."

  •  U.S. Security Policy in the Western Hemisphere: Why Colombia, Why Now, and What Is To Be Done?

    U.S. Security Policy in the Western Hemisphere: Why Colombia, Why Now, and What Is To Be Done?

    U.S. Security Policy in the Western Hemisphere: Why Colombia, Why Now, and What Is To Be Done? Dr Max G Manwaring Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "This monograph by Dr. Max G. Manwaring is another in a series to emerge from a joint project on Plan Colombia begun last February by the U.S. Army War College and The Dante B. Fascell North-South Center. In it, the author places the dilemma of Colombia’s three-front “war” within the framework of the national security strategy of the United States. Dr. Manwaring answers the questions of “why” and “how” in clear contextual terms."

    Plan Colombia: Some Differing Perspectives

    Plan Colombia: Some Differing Perspectives Dr Ricardo Arias Calderon, Dr Gabriel Marcella, Mr Chris Marquis, GEN (Colombia) Alvaro Valencia Tovar, GEN Charles E Wilhelm Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "This volume in our “Plan Colombia” series contains four expert presentations which were made to the February 2001 Miami symposium. The writers are a high-ranking retired military commander from Colombia and one from the United States, a leading Panamanian political figure, and a U.S. journalist. As might be expected, they look at the complex dilemma of Colombia from somewhat different angles."

  •  The Regional Security Crisis in the Andes: Patterns of State Response

    The Regional Security Crisis in the Andes: Patterns of State Response

    The Regional Security Crisis in the Andes: Patterns of State Response Dr Judith A Gentleman Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "For some time it has been apparent that the crisis of Colombia is no longer confined to that country. In fact, under no imaginable scenario can Colombia’s problems be contained within it. The activities of drug traffickers and guerrillas are on the rise in the entire region, coming from Colombia. Given such compelling evidence of spillover, why has a regional, cooperative response been so slow in taking shape? Dr. Gentleman goes right to the heart of the matter: a pattern of competing objectives and inherent tensions."

    Plan Colombia: The View from the Presidential Palace

    Plan Colombia: The View from the Presidential Palace Mr. Eduardo Pizano Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "I begin by recollecting briefly what the guerrilla movement has been doing in Colombia for the last 40 years. More specifically, I shall glance at what the current government is trying to do in its confrontation with the violent actors in this nation. Guerrilla movements have been active in Colombia going back to the early Sixties, with 1960 having been a particularly hard year. And even since the late Forties, Colombia has been living with la violencia, in which liberals and conservatives kill each other in order to seize control of the government."

    U.S. Support of PLAN COLOMBIA: Rethinking the Ends and Means

    U.S. Support of PLAN COLOMBIA: Rethinking the Ends and Means Dr Stephen E Flynn Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "This is one of the monographs in the series from the February 2001 conference on Plan Colombia cosponsored by the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College and The Dante B. Fascell North-South Center of the University of Miami. In this short essay, Stephen E. Flynn provides an intended counterpoint to Dr. Gabriel Marcella’s lead-off monograph in which he argues that Plan Colombia is a brilliantly conceived grand strategy for democratization and national security."

    The Search for Accountability and Transparency in PLAN COLOMBIA: Reforming Judicial Institutions--Again

    The Search for Accountability and Transparency in PLAN COLOMBIA: Reforming Judicial Institutions--Again Dr Luz E Nagle Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "This monograph, written by Professor Luz Estella Nagle, is another in the special series to emerge from the February 2001 conference on Plan Colombia that was cosponsored by the Strategic Studies Institute of the U.S. Army War College and The Dante B. Fascell North-South Center of the University of Miami. In it, she stresses what has been defined by President Andrés Pastrana as one of the five strategic issues included in Plan Colombia. Nevertheless, the author argues that the issue of judicial reform deserves long-term attention and a higher priority within the larger context."

    European Perceptions of Plan Colombia: A Virtual Contribution to a Virtual War and Peace Plan?

    European Perceptions of Plan Colombia: A Virtual Contribution to a Virtual War and Peace Plan? Dr Joaquin Roy Monograph by the US Army War College, Strategic Studies Institute "Professor Roy, a Spaniard with valuable sources throughout Europe, notes that Europeans apparently do not approve of the seeming U.S. emphasis on providing military equipment and training to Colombia for a counternarcotics effort in what they see as a larger strategic political conflict. At the same time, he reports that Europeans are not only concerned with the counternarcotics violence in Colombia, but also with the economic, security, and political spillover effects for neighboring countries."
