This book was released on 1999 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines changing policy trends as America's role as the single world Super-Power evolves. It suggests new criteria for leaders to consider as they evaluate using the military instrument of power in the post- Cold War era. The Weinberger Doctrine helped America's political and military leaders decide when and how to employ military force since 1984, but its Cold War principles are not directly transferable to America's post-Cold War challenges. New centers of decision making; weaker nation-states; and mostly democratic, market-oriented societies in the wake of the perceived Soviet- Communist failure distinguish the post-Cold War landscape. America's modern military must be able to deter violence, fight traditional wars, cope with proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and deal with lesser but demanding humanitarian contingencies. This paper presents six new criteria for military intervention modeled after Weinberger's classic design. They are derived from a combination of: (a) national values, interests, and policy from the National Security Strategy; (b) international law; and (c) a review of models for military intervention from three different perspectives: legal, humanitarian, and political-military.

Book Synopsis U.S. Military Intervention in the Post-Cold War Era by : Glenn J. Antizzo
Download or read book U.S. Military Intervention in the Post-Cold War Era written by Glenn J. Antizzo and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the post--World War II era, American foreign policy prominently featured direct U.S. military intervention in the Third World. Yet the cold war placed restraints on where and how Washington could intervene until the collapse of the former Soviet Union removed many of the barriers to -- and ideological justifications for -- American intervention. Since the end of the cold war, the United States has completed several military interventions that may be guided by motives very different from those invoked before the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Likewise, such operations, now free from the threat of counterintervention by any other superpower, seem governed by a new set of rules. In this readily accessible study, political scientist Glenn J. Antizzo identifies fifteen factors critical to the success of contemporary U.S. military intervention and evaluates the likely efficacy of direct U.S. military involvement today -- when it will work, when it will not, and how to undertake such action in a manner that will bring rapid victory at an acceptable political cost. He lays out the preconditions that portend success, among them a clear and attainable goal; a mission that is neither for "peacekeeping" nor for "humanitarian aid within a war zone"; a strong probability the American public will support or at least be indifferent to the effort; a willingness to utilize ground forces if necessary; an operation limited in geographic scope; and a theater commander permitted discretion in the course of the operation. Antizzo then tests his abstract criteria by using real-world case studies of the most recent fully completed U.S. military interventions -- in Panama in 1989, Iraq in 1991, Somalia in 1992--94, and Kosovo in 1999 -- with Panama, Iraq, and Kosovo representing generally successful interventions and Somalia an unsuccessful one. Finally, he considers how the development of a "Somalia Syndrome" affected U.S. foreign policy and how the politics and practice of military intervention have continued to evolve since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, giving specific attention to the current war in Afghanistan and the larger War on Terror. U.S. Military Intervention in the Post--Cold War Era exemplifies political science at its best: the positing of a hypothetical model followed by a close examination of relevant cases in an effort to provide meaningful insights for future American international policy.

Download or read book Paved with Good Intentions: American Military Intervention in the Contemporary World written by and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidelines restraining American military intervention may preclude the imprudent use of force. U.S. doctrine limiting military intervention, developed under Caspar Weinberger and refined under Colin Powell, has slowly devolved during the post Cold War era. Criteria found politically or militarily inconvenient were discarded under the Clinton Administration. This has contributed to foreign policy drift and unneeded world instability. Under the new defacto "Doability Doctrine," military power is employed in flexible ways, to address limited, ill-defined goals. Kosovo is only the latest example. After analyzing the costs and benefits of various options, the author argues the need for guidelines, explains options and offers proposals.

Book Synopsis Leaders at War by : Elizabeth N. Saunders
Download or read book Leaders at War written by Elizabeth N. Saunders and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-05-27 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most contentious issues in contemporary foreign policy—especially in the United States—is the use of military force to intervene in the domestic affairs of other states. Some military interventions explicitly try to transform the domestic institutions of the states they target; others do not, instead attempting only to reverse foreign policies or resolve disputes without trying to reshape the internal landscape of the target state. In Leaders at War, Elizabeth N. Saunders provides a framework for understanding when and why great powers seek to transform foreign institutions and societies through military interventions. She highlights a crucial but often-overlooked factor in international relations: the role of individual leaders. Saunders argues that leaders' threat perceptions—specifically, whether they believe that threats ultimately originate from the internal characteristics of other states—influence both the decision to intervene and the choice of intervention strategy. These perceptions affect the degree to which leaders use intervention to remake the domestic institutions of target states. Using archival and historical sources, Saunders concentrates on U.S. military interventions during the Cold War, focusing on the presidencies of Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson. After demonstrating the importance of leaders in this period, she also explores the theory's applicability to other historical and contemporary settings including the post–Cold War period and the war in Iraq.
Book Synopsis American Army Doctrine for the Post Cold War by : John Romjue

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Army Doctrine for the Post-Cold War is an important record of how the Army and its Training and Doctrine Command developed the post-Cold War military operational doctrine in response to the geopolitical shift that introduced a new strategic era. John L. Romjue methodically details the overarching concerns of senior leaders, acutely aware of radically altered security assumptions that demanded a revised and broader doctrine by which American land forces could respond to diverse global missions. It is enlightened reading for Army educators, trainers, doctrine planners, and combat developers involved in the ongoing Army Transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1991 and 1993, the Army formulated a fighting doctrine recast to fit the power demands of a new strategic world. This new power-order replaced the Army's earlier "AirLand Battle" doctrine, first issued in 1982. This monograph addresses several questions revolving around the rapid replacement, less than 2 years after its success in the desert war, of a recognized and successful fighting doctrine. Discusses the roots of U.S. Army doctrine and the antecedent developments leading to the Army's recasting of its key battle doctrine. Examines the mechanism of the process of change, the effects of the new doctrine and how it was implemented.

Book Synopsis Democracy by Force by : Karin von Hippel
Download or read book Democracy by Force written by Karin von Hippel and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, the international community, and the USA in particular, has intervened in a series of civil conflicts around the world. In a number of cases, where actions such as economic sanctions or diplomatic pressures have failed, military interventions have been undertaken. This 1999 book examines four US-sponsored interventions (Panama, Somalia, Haiti and Bosnia), focusing on efforts to reconstruct the state which have followed military action. Such nation-building is vital if conflict is not to recur. In each of the four cases, Karin von Hippel considers the factors which led the USA to intervene, the path of military intervention, and the nation-building efforts which followed. The book seeks to provide a greater understanding of the successes and failures of US policy, to improve strategies for reconstruction, and to provide some insight into the conditions under which intervention and nation-building are likely to succeed.

Book Synopsis US Nuclear Doctrine and Post-Cold War Force Structure by :
Download or read book US Nuclear Doctrine and Post-Cold War Force Structure written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the collapse of the Soviet Union and end of the Cold War, the US military has undergone significant changes in its global military strategy and its resultant force structure. While some would argue that the impetus for change has been the shrinking defense budget and force reductions, what allowed these changes to occur was the new nature of the world and the realization that the more prevalent conflict of the future will be regional, lower intensity conflict with much more limited aims than those prepared for during the Cold War. President Clinton's November, 1997 signing of new nuclear weapons guidelines suggests that a post-Cold War rethinking of US strategic nuclear doctrine and force structure may be taking place as well. The US must continue this apparent evaluation of doctrine and be prepared to make appropriate force structure changes as doctrine shifts. This paper will examine the foundational importance of doctrine; the doctrinal underpinnings of our current force structure; and the implications of the post-Cold War world on strategic nuclear doctrine and force structure. In addition, based on the lessons we can learn from the Cold War years and the shape of our new post-Cold War world, this paper will address an emerging doctrine and its force structure implications. Chapter one provides background into the issue, defines key terms, and identifies a key assumption upon which this paper is based. Chapter two includes discussions on the nature of doctrine and its importance when fielding new, unique weapon systems. Chapter three discusses the early geopolitical and military influences on, and the evolution of, US Cold War nuclear doctrine. Chapter four reviews post-Cold War development of nuclear doctrine. The last chapter summarizes and reiterates the need for US action to lead the world through the post-Cold War nuclear era.
