Topic: North Atlantic Treaty Organization(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School,2011-12) Ivanov, Ivan Dinev;Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC);Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.);National Security Affairs (NSA);Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC)Show moreThis study surveys the involvement of NATOÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Euro-Atlantic partners (EAPs) and new members in various international operations; it argues that the allianceÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s success in drawing new participants into international operations is largely determined by three different groups of variables: (1) the prospects for membership; (2) the presence of unresolved disputes with neighboring countries and; (3) the degree of internal political divisions in these transitional societies. This article will examine these three variables. First, it will show that when NATO upgraded its relationship with prospective members and signaled high chances for membership, these nations significantly increased their participation in international operations. Second, it will discuss how the presence of unresolved conflicts could effectively paralyze integration into NATO as was the case of Macedonia and Georgia thus constraining these countriesÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ involvement in Afghanistan. Finally, it will illustrate how deep political divisions in Ukraine led to a plummeting public approval for membership and subsequent withdrawal of support for NATO-led operations. The three variables together point to the conclusion that the alliance was overall fairly effective in persuading the new members to participate more actively in peacekeeping, counterterrorism, and humanitarian missions. At the same time, it has had a mixed record in engaging its Euro-Atlantic partners (EAP) to become involved in various international efforts. Although NATOÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s incentives have facilitated EAPÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s contributions to peacekeeping, counterterrorism, and humanitarian missions, these incentives have not always proven sufficient to overcome neighborsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ opposition or domestic resistance to membership.Show moreLoading...Thumbnail ImagePublicationDemocratic Inclusion: A Solution to Militancy in Islamist Movements?; Strategic Insights, v. 3, issue 4 (April 2004)(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School,2004-04-01) Baylouny, Anne Marie;Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC);Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.);National Security Affairs (NSA);Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC)Show moreLoading...Thumbnail ImagePublicationOccupation of Iraq: Geostrategic and Institutional Challenges; Strategic Insights: v.2, issue 8 (August 2003)(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School,2003-08) Russell, James A.;Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC);Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.);National Security Affairs (NSA);Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC)Show moreThe occupation of Iraq represents a profound strategic challenge for the United States as a nation, its political leadership and its military institutions. Not since decisions made at the outset of the Vietnam War has American prestige and power become so vested in achieving a singularly defined outcome in a distant land far from its shores.  From the perspective of using military force to achieve national objectives, one critical difference between Iraq and Vietnam is that today's volunteer military is a totally different institution. By and large, the force is more professional, better trained and better equipped than its predecessor from the 1960s. The battlefield performance of the nation's force in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere leaves no doubt about its overall effectiveness. But unlike the draft-era military of the 1960s, the core of today's military is largely segregated from society at large--its own system within a system that operates according to its own rules and largely lives and works in its own neighborhoods. This separation creates a convenient illusion for the public that use of the force is cost free to the country writ large, and that any pain and suffering is felt solely by those paid to do the job. This document argues that in Iraq, the stakes for the country, its leadership and its military will require a unity of national purpose as the costs will invariably mount for what will have to be a long-term commitment for the entire nation.Show moreLoading...Thumbnail ImagePublicationThe Role of Innere Führung in German Civil-Military Relations; Strategic Insights, v. 5, issue 4 (April 2006)(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School,2006-04-01) McGregor, Petra;Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC);Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.);National Security Affairs (NSA);Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC)Show moreLoading...Thumbnail ImagePublicationStagnation on Low Levels: Political and Economic Transformation in Central and West Africa; Strategic Insights, v. 6, issue 12 (December 2005)(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School,2005-12-01) Basedau, Matthias;Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC);Naval Postgraduate School (U.S.);National Security Affairs (NSA);Center for Contemporary Conflict (CCC)Show more«1 (current)2345678910...59» DUDLEY KNOX LIBRARYFeedback411 Dyer Rd.
