Book Synopsis Stabilization and Post-conflict Operations by :
Download or read book Stabilization and Post-conflict Operations written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military invariably conducts conflict and post-conflict operations with other agencies. These agencies must be prepared and resourced for their participation, including transition from or to serving as lead-agency for the operation. The Department of Defense (DoD) needs to define war or conflict more broadly, and incorporate other agencies, especially Department of State (DoS), into its planning and execution phases much earlier and more completely than is now the practice. The military's changing role requires it to better understand world cultures where it operates and the organizational cultures of agencies with whom it works. The DoS has begun the organizational change necessary to become an equal operational partner with the military, but remains inadequately funded. The United States clearly recognizes the need for international peacekeeping partners; its difficulty is to determine the appropriate role for those collaborators, to determine needs for assistance to become better partners, and to effectively manage that assistance.

Book Synopsis Harnessing Post-conflict Transitions by : Nicholas J. Armstrong
Download or read book Harnessing Post-conflict Transitions written by Nicholas J. Armstrong and published by Strategic Studies Institute. This book was released on 2010 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph addresses the challenging topic of transition in post-conflict stability operations and is intended for a wide audience that includes military and civilian policymakers, international development experts, and scholars in academe. It is a primer, systematic review, and comprehensive assessment of the fields of research and practice. It presents and appraises the major lenses (process, authority transfer, phasing, and end state), categories (war-to-peace, power, societal, political-democratic, security, and economic), approaches, and tools under which post-conflict transitions are conceived. It lays the groundwork for both future research and greater collaboration among diverse international and local actors who operate in post-conflict environments, to develop a comprehensive definition of transition and adequate tools to address all facets of the concept. It provides recommendations for future research and improved transition policy, which include: cross-institutional (political, security, economic) and multi-level (local, regional, national) studies that explore the interdependencies between simultaneous transitions ; underlying assumptions of current transition tools and indicators ; relationships between transition and institutional resilience ; and, thresholds and tipping points between transition phases.
Book Synopsis Preparing the Army for Stability Operations by : Thomas S. Szayna
Download or read book Preparing the Army for Stability Operations written by Thomas S. Szayna and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2004-2006, the U.S. government acted to revise the way that the planning and implementation of Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) operations are conducted. The primary emphasis of the changes was on ensuring a common U.S. strategy rather than a collection of individual departmental and agency efforts and on mobilizing and involving all available U.S. government assets in the effort. The proximate reason for the policy shift stems from the exposing of gaps in the U.S. ability to administer Afghanistan and Iraq after the U.S.-led ousters of the Taliban and Ba'athist regimes. But the effort to create U.S. government capabilities to conduct SSTR operations in a more unified and coherent fashion rests on the deeper conviction that, as part of the U.S. strategy to deal with transnational terrorist groups, the United States must have the capabilities to increase the governance capacities of weak states, reduce the drivers of and catalysts to conflict, and assist in peacebuilding at all stages of pre- or post-conflict transformation. According to the Joint Operating Concept for Military Support to SSTR operations, these operations are civilian-led and conducted and coordinated with the involvement of all the available resources of the U.S. government (military and civilian), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and international partners. Although military assets are an essential component of many SSTR operations, specific military goals and objectives are only a portion of the larger SSTR operation.

This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book breaks down the outcomes of stabilization operations including those related to establishing or enhancing safety and security, institutions of governance, rule of law, social well-being, economic development, access to education and health care, infrastructure development, reducing corruption and all the associated elements for shoring up fragile communities.

The book is designed to be accessible to military advisors, international development professionals, students, policymakers and planners, and all who are involved in peacebuilding in the field, not only in the ivory tower.
Book Synopsis Stabilization Operations, Security and Development by : Robert Muggah
Download or read book Stabilization Operations, Security and Development written by Robert Muggah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume provides a critical overview of the new stabilization agenda in international relations. The primary focus of so-called stability operations since 9/11 has been Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. Covering the wider picture, this volume provides a comprehensive assessment of the new agenda, including the expansion of efforts in Latin America, the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia. By harnessing the findings of studies undertaken in Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Jamaica, Kenya, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sudan and Sri Lanka, the volume demonstrates the impacts – intended and otherwise – of stabilization in practice. The book clarifies the debate on stabilization, focusing primarily on the policy, practice and outcomes of such operations. Rather than relying exclusively on existing military doctrine or academic writings, the volume focuses on stabilization as it is actually occurring. Drawing on the reflections of scholars and practitioners, the volume identifies the origins and historical antecedents of contemporary operations, and also examines how the practice is linked to other policy spheres – ranging from peacebuilding to statebuilding. Finally, the volume reviews eight practical cases of stabilization in disparate regions around the globe. This book will be of much interest to students of war and conflict studies, peacekeeping and peacebuilding, statebuilding, development studies and international relations in general.
Book Synopsis All Measures Short of War by : Thomas J. Wright

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the future of great power competition in an age of globalization and what the United States can do in response The two decades after the Cold War saw unprecedented cooperation between the major powers as the world converged on a model of liberal international order. Now, great power competition is back and the liberal order is in jeopardy. Russia and China are increasingly revisionist in their regions. The Middle East appears to be unraveling. And many Americans question why the United States ought to lead. What will great power competition look like in the decades ahead? Will the liberal world order survive? What impact will geopolitics have on globalization? And, what strategy should the United States pursue to succeed in an increasingly competitive world? In this book Thomas Wright explains how major powers will compete fiercely even as they try to avoid war with each other. Wright outlines a new American strategy—Responsible Competition—to navigate these challenges and strengthen the liberal order.
Book Synopsis Peacekeeping and Post-Conflict Capabilities by :
Download or read book Peacekeeping and Post-Conflict Capabilities written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State Department's new Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS) is intended to address longstanding concerns, both within Congress and the broader policy community, over what is seen as inadequate planning mechanisms for stabilization and reconstruction operations, lack of inter-agency coordination in carrying out such tasks, and inappropriate capabilities for many of the non-military tasks required. Effectively distributing resources among the various executive branch actors, maintaining clear lines of authority and jurisdiction, and balancing short- and long-term objectives are major challenges for designing, planning, and conducting post-conflict operations. This report will not be updated.

Book Synopsis Winning the Peace by : Heritage Foundation (Washington, D.C.)
Download or read book Winning the Peace written by Heritage Foundation (Washington, D.C.) and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Heritage Foundation analysts attempted to create a set of flexible principles to help guide future preparation for post-conflict operations. The policy changes recommended in the following pages are, in many cases, prescriptions for institutional change. Implementing wide-ranging institutional reforms will not only establish better practices for dealing with post-conflict operations, they will also force future military leaders to address the unique challenges presented by post-conflict missions. The analysis and recommendations that follow are compiled from The Heritage Foundation's work on the subject of post-conflict operations over the past three years. In addition, four lectures are included from a conference entitled "The Test of Terrain: The Impact of Stability Operations Upon the Armed Forces." The Heritage Foundation co-sponsored the conference, which was held in Paris on June 17-18, 2005."--P. 3.

Book Synopsis Breaking the Conflict Cycle: Incorporating Stability Operations Into a Cycle Framework by : Major Candy S., Candy Smith, US Army
Download or read book Breaking the Conflict Cycle: Incorporating Stability Operations Into a Cycle Framework written by Major Candy S., Candy Smith, US Army and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-08-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Failed, failing, and collapsed states and regions all provide opportunities for conflict and intervention in order to promote the security of the United States. Recognizing the opportunity to implement a change in how the United States plans and executes reconstruction and stabilization assistance for foreign states and regions, the President of the United States issued National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD)-44. The result was DoD Directive 3000.5, Military Support for Stability, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) Operations, stating stability operations are a core U.S. military mission. The release of the new FM 3-07, Stability Operations, in October 2008 was the Army's attempt to incorporate Stability Operations into the Full Spectrum Operations concept discussed in FM 3-0, Operations. While groundbreaking in its potential for change in the areas of conflict prevention, varied solutions to complex problems, and its depiction of stability operations within Full Spectrum Operations, the Army has limited ability to incorporate that potential. In order to understand why the US Army has a limited ability to incorporate the potential of FM 3-07, this monograph dissects the Army's current use of the Spectrum of Conflict - a linear mode of thinking ill-suited to the conflicts of the 21st century. Understanding why the Spectrum of Conflict is no longer applicable to future conflicts leads into a discussion of how the Organization of Cooperation and Security in Europe's conflict cycle model is better suited for 21st century conflict and the full incorporation of stability operations within Full Spectrum Operations. This monograph advocates the Army's adoption of the conflict cycle with the stages of early warning, conflict prevention, crisis management, and post-conflict reconstruction in order to allow FM 3-07 to meet its full potential and to break the conflict of cycle enduring in many parts of the world today.

Book Synopsis Winning the Peace by : Christopher C. Day
Download or read book Winning the Peace written by Christopher C. Day and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The long, drawn out wars of Iraq and Afghanistan have proved the need for quick stabilization of conflict areas. In Iraq, initial plans were to withdraw a large majority of troops months into the operation, but a stable environment required almost a decade to achieve. Stabilization in such a scenario requires Political, Social, Justice, Economic and Security needs to be met. The military has not been equipped to meet these needs by themselves and required civilian agencies and organizations to help accomplish that goal. These civil-military operations (CMO) must be properly integrated at the outset to be successful. Considering the constrained funding environment of the US, this research report sought to answer the question, 'How can the military more effectively and efficiently integrate civilians in post-conflict operations to achieve stability?' Using the problem/solution framework, four solutions to improve civil-military integration were evaluated: Standing Joint Interagency Task Forces (JIATFs), use of Phase IV (stability) objectives for the military’s end-state, creation of interorganizational positions and use of wargaming for stability operations. Each was evaluated using cost, schedule and performance as determinate factors where cost and schedule corresponded to efficiency and performance with effectiveness. The research concluded that planning for a Phase IV end-state and wargaming were the most efficient and effective solutions and recommended them for immediate implementation. Based on recent conflicts, the military must not only be focused on winning the war, but also winning the peace"--Abstract.
