Book Synopsis Creating Military Power by : Risa Brooks
Download or read book Creating Military Power written by Risa Brooks and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-09 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating Military Power examines how societies, cultures, political structures, and the global environment affect countries' military organizations. Unlike most analyses of countries' military power, which focus on material and basic resources—such as the size of populations, technological and industrial base, and GNP—this volume takes a more expansive view. The study's overarching argument is that states' global environments and the particularities of their cultures, social structures, and political institutions often affect how they organize and prepare for war, and ultimately impact their effectiveness in battle. The creation of military power is only partially dependent on states' basic material and human assets. Wealth, technology, and human capital certainly matter for a country's ability to create military power, but equally important are the ways a state uses those resources, and this often depends on the political and social environment in which military activity takes place.

Book Synopsis A Hard Look at Hard Power by : Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College Press
Download or read book A Hard Look at Hard Power written by Strategic Studies Institute U.S. Army War College Press and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, the United States has made maintaining a favorable balance of power in Eurasia a core element of its national security strategy. It did so in good measure by maintaining a large conventional military force that was based not only at home, but also in bases spread across Europe and Asia. That strategy was buttressed by developing security ties and alliances with key powers and front-line states. The implicit bargain was that the United States would help keep the peace on their door front if they would provide access from which American forces could operate and, in turn, maintain credible forces themselves to reinforce and support U.S. efforts at keeping the great power peace. The question raised by this collection of essays is: Is that bargain unraveling? As the following chapters note, since the end of the great power threat posed by the Soviet Union, both the United States and its principal allies have seen fit to cut the size of their forces substantially and, in most cases, slowed efforts at re- placing military systems and platforms. The quandary many of America's allies have faced is, on the one hand, reforming their militaries to make them more expeditionary and useful for addressing various security problems-such as piracy, terrorism, and the instability brought about by collapsing regimes. On the other hand, not having the political resources at home to prioritize defense spending in the face of domestic demands and, more recently, faltering economies are also problems that need to be considered. The result is smaller, half-modernized militaries with often significant gaps in key capabilities. The strategic problem is that, while its allies and partners have shrunk their militaries, so too has the United States. It no longer retains a military sized to handle multiple major contingencies at once as it once did and is now facing the prospect of not only continuing to deal with large-scale disorder within the Middle East but also the problematic behavior of two major military powers, China and Russia. In short, at a time when the United States needs the most help, the prospects for receiving it, with the exception of a few allies, look more worrisome than at any point since perhaps the immediate aftermath of World War II. A Hard Look at Hard Power provides in-depth analysis of the state of key allied militaries. It could not be more timely.
Book Synopsis The Evolution of Military Power in the West and Asia by : Pauline Eadie
Download or read book The Evolution of Military Power in the West and Asia written by Pauline Eadie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates how states in both the West and Asia have responded to multi-dimensional security challenges since the end of the Cold War, focusing on military transformation. Looking at a cross-section of different countries, this volume assesses how their armed forces have responded to a changing international security context. The book investigates two main themes. First, how the process of military ‘transformation’- in terms of technological advances and new ways of conducting warfare - has impacted on the militaries of various countries. These technologies are hugely expensive and the extent to which different states can afford them, and the ability of these states to utilise these technologies, differs greatly. Second, the volume investigates the social dimensions of military transformation. It reveals the expanding breadth of tasks that contemporary armed forces have been required to address. This includes the need for military forces to work with other actors, such as non-governmental agencies and humanitarian organisations, and the ability of armed forces to fight asymmetric opponents and conduct post-conflict reconstruction tasks. The conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan exemplified how important the relationship between technological and social transformation has become. This book will be of much interest to students of strategic studies, military innovation, Asian politics, security studies and International Relations.

Book Synopsis Military Coercion and US Foreign Policy by : Melanie W. Sisson
Download or read book Military Coercion and US Foreign Policy written by Melanie W. Sisson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the use of military force as a coercive tool by the United States, using lessons drawn from the post-Cold War era (1991–2018). The volume reveals that despite its status as sole superpower during the post-Cold War period, US efforts to coerce other states failed as often as they succeeded. In the coming decades, the United States will face states that are more capable and creative, willing to challenge its interests and able to take advantage of missteps and vulnerabilities. By using lessons derived from in-depth case studies and statistical analysis of an original dataset of more than 100 coercive incidents in the post-Cold War era, this book generates insight into how the US military can be used to achieve policy goals. Specifically, it provides guidance about the ways in which, and the conditions under which, the US armed forces can work in concert with economic and diplomatic elements of US power to create effective coercive strategies. This book will be of interest to students of US national security, US foreign policy, strategic studies and International Relations in general.

Book Synopsis Redefining the Military Element of National Power by : James B. Henderson
Download or read book Redefining the Military Element of National Power written by James B. Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military element of national power has arguably been the dominant factor by which a nation assesses its relative strength among the community of nations. Military strength generally determines the symmetric ability of one nation to impose its will upon another nation. Variables such as manpower and equipment provide a quantitative summary against which to judge military strength, while leadership, training, and morale are some qualitative variables of the military strength equation. Using this type of calculus in today's national security environment may not be an appropriate or sufficient way to gauge relative national power. Today, the ability of a nation's military to project itself, operate, and sustain itself throughout the spectrum of conflict frequently exceeds the boundaries of the military element" of power. For example, the Gulf War and U.S. peace support operations in the Balkans, such as Joint Endeavor and Joint Guard, indicate the military's increasing reliance on contractors to support and sustain its forces. Not only are these non-military capabilities essential to the success of U.S. military operations, but they are typically discounted in any equation that assesses relative national military strength. Similarly, the defense against terrorism in the homeland relies on synergistic combination of many national non-military capabilities. Clearly the military has a role in securing the homeland, as it has done since the early days of the nation. The September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States, and the nation's actions since then, serve to illuminate capabilities that exist in the civil sector that form the first line of defense against, or in response to, terrorism's asymmetric threat. In this regard, the United States, or any other nation for that matter, relies predominately on its civil law enforcement and response infrastructure to deter and defeat the terrorist threat or mitigate and manage the effects of any attack against the nation and its people. This source of national strength is critical in a strategic environment where weapons of mass destruction are proliferating and may be at the disposal of terrorists. Thus, this paper addresses the need to reevaluate and expand the concept of the military element of national power into a more suitable gauge of national strength - the "socio-military" element of national power.
Book Synopsis Challenges to Security in Space by : Defense Intelligence Agency
Download or read book Challenges to Security in Space written by Defense Intelligence Agency and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-18 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, space has become a seamless part of many military and civilian activities. The advantages the United States holds in space capabilities will drive some nations to improve their abilities to access and operate in space. Moreover, some actors will seek counterspace capabilities that target the perceived United States and allied reliance on space, including the ability to use secure satellite communications, precision strike capabilities, and ISR assets. As the number of spacefaring nations grows and as some actors integrate space and counterspace capabilities into military operations, these trends will pose a challenge to U.S. space dominance and present new risks for assets on orbit.
