Vortex of ConflictU.S. Policy Toward Afghanistan, Pakistan, and IraqDan CaldwellMore than two million Americans have now served in Afghanistan or Iraq; more than 5,000 Americans have been killed; and more than 35,000 have been griev-

ously wounded. The war in Afghanistan has become America’s longest war. Despite these facts, most Ameri-cans do not understand the background of, or reasons for, the United States’ involvement in these two wars. Vortex of Conflict is the first, accessible, one-volume re-source for anyone who wishes to understand why and how the U.S. became involved in these two wars—and in the affairs of Pakistan—concurrently. It will stand as the comprehensive reference work for general readers seeking a road map to the conflicts, for students look-ing for analysis and elucidation of the relevant data, and for veterans and their families seeking to better understand their own experience.

“Vortex of Conflict analyzes US policy in three conflict-torn coun-tries. In one volume, Caldwell creates a book perfect for the area expert who wants to understand war, or the security spe-cialist who needs to learn the socio-political context of today’s conflicts. The bibliography and chronology alone are worth the price of the book. Great work from a first-rank scholar!”

—Joseph J. Collins, Professor of National Security Strategy, National War College

“As we approach the tenth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, a holistic understanding of the wars in Iraq, Afghani-stan, and Pakistan is long overdue. Dan Caldwell provides a reasoned analysis of the national security struggles we face as a nation, and what to do about them. Highly recommended.”—John Nagl, President of the Center for a New American Security and author

National Security

Between Threats and WarU.S. Discrete Military Operations in the Post-Cold War WorldMicah Zenko

“Zenko’s analysis of the limited use of force is brilliant and timely. He breaks new ground in moving beyond Cold War thinking to assess the efficacy of specific military measures in a unipolar environment. This work is a major step in sharpen-ing the application of US mili-tary force to achieve political aims abroad. A ‘must-read’ for anyone—military or civilian—who wants to participate in or understand US national secu-rity decision-making.”

—Gen. Wesley Clark, U.S. Army (ret.), former Supreme Allied

Commander Europe

“Between Threats and War is one of those rare but valu-able works that uses rigorous scholarship to illuminate the dynamics of security decisions. both theorists and security practitioners will find it chal-lenging and useful.”

Dark LogicTransnational Criminal Tactics and Global SecurityRobert Mandel Since the end of the Cold War, transnational non-state forces have been a major source of global instability, with many ominous and disruptive flows of people, goods, and services moving

readily across international boundaries. The threat posed by transnational organized crime ultimately undermines the total security of countries—including the economic, cultural, and political dimensions—and now presents an international security challenge of staggering proportions.

Dark Logic examines in depth when and how trans-national organized crime is likely to use corruption and violence to achieve its ends, and when and how these criminal activities most affect individual and state security.

“Dr. Mandel’s works are usually ahead of their time, and this is no exception. He was the first to identify ‘transnational, non-state actors’ as the ‘future’ most pressing threats to the US. In Dark Logic he correctly advances the logic that criminal cartels—not just terrorist organizations—are a threat to the US, the West, and international order.”

—BG (RET) Russell D. Howard

“This book provides a highly compelling analysis of the ways in which transnational organized crime and illicit markets threaten human, national, and international security. by asking funda-mental questions and answering them in a systematic and incisive fashion, Mandel makes a unique and important contri-bution to both the understanding of organized crime and the nature of the challenges to security in the twenty-first century.”

Power in Uncertain TimesStrategy in the Fog of PeaceEmily O. GoldmanToday, all states face a rapidly shifting international security landscape, from ethnic and religious extremism to WMD proliferation and newly em-powered non-state actors. The challenge is not just to manage the uncertainty in the system, but also to prevail in spite of it.

This book examines strategic choices in uncertain times and analyzes how different strategies position states to manage risk and prevail despite uncertainty. It investigates how political and military leaders have responded to uncertain strategic and tech-nological environments, and as-sess the consequences of those strategies for their state’s power and influence.

“emily Goldman’s study of grand strategy will help both scholars and practitioners navigate the rocks and shoals as we sail through the fog of peace.”

Ungoverned SpacesAlternatives to State Authority in an Era of Softened SovereigntyEdited by Anne L. Clunan and Harold A. Trinkunas

“This is an excellent work, practi-cally extraordinary. It opens a new subject for courses, gnaws at the assumptions of IR theory, and throws a spotlight on crucial policy areas. It poses new demands for a reconcep-tualization of theory, is adven-turesomely interdisciplinary, unbound by usual conventions, and breaks down the walls be-tween established disciplinary approaches.”

Military Reform | Tranformation | Effectiveness

On FlexibilityRecovery from Technological and Doctrinal Surprise on the BattlefieldMeir FinkelThis book addresses one of the basic questions in military studies: How can armies cope effectively with technological and doctrinal surprises—ones that leave them vulnerable to new weapons systems and/or combat doctrines?

Based on historical case analysis of successful “under-fire” recovery and failure to recover, Meir Finkel identifies the variables that have deter-mined these outcomes, and he presents an innovative method for military force planning that will enables armies to deal with the uncertainties of future wars

“in real time.”

“This is an outstanding work. In-culcating adaptability, flexibility, and responsiveness to surprise is the chief preoccupation of the major armies of the world.”

—David Betz, Department of War Studies,

King’s College London


Innovation, Transformation, and WarCounterinsurgency Operations in Anbar and Ninewa Provinces, Iraq, 2005–2007James A. RussellThrough 2004 and 2005, accounts from return-ing veterans presaged an unfolding strategic debacle in Iraq—potentially made

worse by U.S. tactics being focused on extending con-ventionally oriented military operations rather than on adapting to the insurgency.

Between 2005 and 2007, however, a sea change took place, with some U.S. units integrating counterinsur-gency tactics and full-spectrum operations to great effect. Author James Russell, outlines how this change was spearheaded by the innovative actions of brigade and company commanders in Anbar and Ninewah

—evidenced most notably in the turning of tribal lead-ers against Al Qaeda. In Innovation, Transformation, and War, he goes behind the headlines to reveal how a group of Army and Marine Corps units successfully in-novated in an unprecedented way: from the bottom up as well as from the top down. In the process they trans-formed themselves from organizations structured and trained for conventional military operations into ones with a unique array of capabilities for a full spectrum of combat operations.

James Russell describes in intimate detail an important part of the 1st brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division's success-ful campaign to retake Ramadi from the insurgents in 2006 and 2007. Anyone interested in how some creative Soldiers and junior leaders can change the course of a battle, an opera-tion, and a war, needs to read this book.”

—Brigadier General Sean MacFarland, U.S. Army, Former Commander of the1/1 Brigade Combat Team in Ramadi,

2006-2007

Military Reform | Tranformation | Effectiveness

Victory for HirePrivate Security Companies’ Impact on Military EffectivenessMolly DuniganAt peak utilization, private security contractors (PSCs) constituted a larger occupying force in Iraq and Afghanistan than did U.S. troops. Yet, no book has so far assessed the impact of private security com-panies on military effectiveness. Filling that gap, Molly Dunigan reveals how the increasing tendency to outsource mis-sions to PSCs has significant ramifications for both tactical and long-term strategic mili-tary effectiveness—and for the likelihood that the democra-cies that deploy PSCs will be victorious in warfare, both over the short- and long-term.

“Victory for Hire provides an invaluable look into both the pernicious effects and the operational advantages that private security forces provide governments.”

—Allan C. Stam, Professor of Political Science, University

of Michigan


Transforming CommandThe Pursuit of Mission Command in the U.S., British, and Israeli ArmiesEitan ShamirThis book examines in depth the experiences of the U.S., Israeli, and British Armies in implementing mission com-mand, and reveals the key factors that have determined the success or failure of the implementation—factors such as the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), the spread of low-intensity conflicts and operations other than war, and differences in how military cultures interpret, articulate, and exercise the command function. It has significant im-plications for both the develop-ment of military doctrine and the training and education of tomorrow’s military leaders.

“This authoritative study should be required reading for all nATo officers.”

Getting to ZeroThe Path to Nuclear DisarmamentCatherine M. Kelleher and Judith ReppyThis book takes on the much-debated nuclear zero objectives—exploring the serious policy ques-tions around them and delineating the best practi-cal steps for the nuclear nations to take to achieve

them. It raises the urgent questions that need to be ad-dressed and proposes some of the answers that need to be sought in the years ahead by world leaders, politi-cians, NGOs, and scholars.

Beginning with the history of the nuclear zero move-ment, Getting to Zero documents the successes and failures of six decades of attempts to control nuclear weapons proliferation, lays out the past decisions of the major nuclear states that form the context for the cur-rent initiatives, and analyses the policies of the regional powers—both nuclear and “potentially nuclear”—that will frame the prospects for getting to nuclear zero.

“This valuable book extends the important conversation on getting to zero nuclear weapons by asking hard questions about how to accommodate the desires and preferences of the global community while making progress toward that goal. These essays will well reward the reader.”

—Richard Garwin, IBM Fellow Emeritus, Thomas J. Watson Research Center

“If the skepticism about ‘global zero’ total nuclear disarma-ment is ever to be overcome, this book offers the collection of solid international scholars and subtle reasoning that might do the trick.”

—George Quester, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland

“The authors display a depth of knowledge about the rou-tines and internal logics of government programs in Russia, the United States, and europe that is unusual in discussions of national security policy.“

WMD | Proliferation

Volume 1 The Role of TheoryThis volume provides the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of theoretical perspectives regarding the sources of and propensity for nuclear proliferation. The au-thors probe the broader ques-tions of why states pursue or abstain from nuclear weapons, as well as finer methodologi-cal issues involving concept definition and development, hypothesis testing, and gener-alization of findings.

“This strong volume offers a di-verse theoretical analysis of the proliferation literature—bring-ing together the most recent research on nuclear spread, and providing interesting policy-relevant ideas. Analysts, policy-makers, and students will find this volume insightful and useful.”

Volume 2 A Comparative PerspectiveThis volume provides the most comprehensive and authorita-tive projections of nuclear pro-liferation over the next decade and offers a range of practical nonproliferation measures. The authors address a set of overarching questions regard-ing the propensity of selected states from different regions of the world to “go nuclear,” the sources of national decisions to do so, and the potential for one state’s proliferation behavior to impact on that of other states.

“This volume contains 12 case studies and offers many in-sights into the decision-making processes in the countries studied. It will be invaluable to those interested in proliferation analysis, and to students and researchers.”

HyperconflictGlobalization and InsecurityJames H. Mittelman

“Probing beneath conflicts of the day, Hyperconflict brings to light the deep drivers of war and peace in the twenty-first century. It offers a fresh interpretation and findings. Professor Mittelman’s study is bound to contribute to the work of peacemakers and analysts alike. I warmly commend this book.”

—Martti Ahtisaari, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate of 2008 and

former President of Finland

“Mittelman brilliantly and pre-sciently provides us with the first comprehensive mapping of this twenty-first century terrain of insecurity, the touchstone of his heroic effort to depict the wider implications of neoliberal global-ization for the future of humanity. Mittelman not only helps us to see the world as it is but shows us how we should think about the future in order to overcome inse-curity and to ground hope. This is a great achievement, warranting our attention and reflection, and eventually our gratitude.”

Proxy WarriorsThe Rise and Fall of State-Sponsored MilitiasAriel I. AhramIn this book, Ariel Ahram offers a new perspective on a growing threat to international and human security—the reliance of

‘weak states’ on quasi-offi-cial militias, paramilitaries, and warlords.

Tracing the history of several “high profile” paramili-tary organizations, including Indonesia’s various militia factions, Iraq’s tribal awakening, and Iran’s Revolution-ary Guard and Basij corps, the book shows why and how states co-opt these groups, turning former rebels into state-sponsored militias. Building on an historical and comparative empirical approach that emphasizes decolonization, revolution, and international threat, the author offers a new set of policy prescriptions for addressing this escalating international crisis—with particular attention to strategies for mitigating the im-pact of this devolution of violence on the internal and international stability of states.

“Proxy Warriors offers a timely, insightful, and often contrarian look at how leaders in developing states use militias, gangs, and other substate actors. Ahram offers important findings that explain states' different approaches and provides fresh policy prescriptions for the international community to man-age, or at times live with, this difficult problem.”

—Daniel Byman, Professor, Security Studies Program, Georgetown University

One Alliance, Two LensesU.S.-Korea Relations in a New EraGi-Wook ShinOne Alliance, Two Lenses examines U.S.-Korea relations in a short but dramatic period (1992–2003) that witnessed the end of the Cold War, South Korea’s full democratization, inter-Korean engagement, two nuclear crises, and the start of the U.S. war on terror. These events have led to a new era of challenges and opportunities for U.S.-South Korea (ROK) relations.

“In a major contribution to the scholarship on the U.S.-Korea relationship, Shin unearths a fundamental mismatch in the ways Koreans and Americans see their relationship. Under-standing the mismatch, would help us better grasp, and hopefully improve, a relation-ship that remains vital to the region’s peace and prosperity.”

The AnglosphereA Genealogy of a Racialized Identity in International RelationsSrdjan VuceticThe Anglosphere refers to a community of English-speak-ing states, nations, and societies centered on Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United King-dom, and the United States, which has profoundly influ-enced the direction of world history and fascinated count-less observers.

“brings the study of inter-national relations into the twenty-first century, paradoxi-cally, by returning to the past. Vucetic analyzes the now of-ficially forgotten racial-in-origin identification of Anglo-Saxon peoples and shows how it still matters in the close alignment of policies among the US, Great britain, Canada, Australia, and new Zealand. He wants us all to think harder about racializa-tion as a force in world politics.”

The Making of Northeast AsiaKent Calder and Min YeNortheast Asia is plagued by security problems of global importance, including nuclear and missile proliferation. Yet the region has continued to be the most rapidly growing on earth for over five decades—and it is emerging as an identifiable eco-nomic, political, and strategic region in its own right. As the locus of both economic growth and political-military uncer-tainty in Asia has moved further to the Northeast, a need has developed for a book that fo-cuses analytically on prospects for Northeast Asian cooperation within the context of both Asia and the Asia-Pacific regional relationship. This book does exactly that, while also offering a more general theory for Asian institution building.

“The Making of Northeast Asia will challenge and provoke available institutionalist and constructivist scholarship on Asian regionalism.”

Rethinking Japanese Public Opinion and SecurityFrom Pacifism to Realism?Paul MidfordPaul Midford engages claims that since 9/11 Japanese pub-lic opinion has turned sharply away from pacifism and toward supporting normalization of Ja-pan’s military power. He argues that Japanese public opinion has never embraced pacifism. It has, instead, contained signifi-cant elements of realism, in that it has acknowledged the utility of military power for defending national territory and indepen-dence, but has seen offensive military power as ineffective for promoting other goals. On this basis, says Midford, we should re-conceptualize Japanese pub-lic opinion as attitudinal defen-sive realism.

“A ground breaking study of Japanese foreign and security policy making.”

South Asia’s Weak StatesUnderstanding the Regional Insecurity PredicamentEdited by T. V. PaulSouth Asia is characterized by high levels of insecurity at the inter-state, intra-state, and human level: insecurity that is manifest in both traditional and non-traditional security prob-lems—especially transnational terrorism fuelled by militant religious ideologies.To explain what has caused and contrib-uted to the perpetual insecurity and human suffering in the region, this book reveals and analyzes the key underlying and proximate drivers.

“After being preoccupied with great powers for centuries, we are now attempting to come to grips with weak and failed states and their significance to regional politics. by providing a number of perspectives on weaker states in South Asia, this volume contributes to our im-proved understanding.”

Localising Power in Post-Authoritarian IndonesiaA Southeast Asia PerspectiveVedi R. HadizUsing the case of Indonesia, and comparing it with Thailand and the Philippines, Hadiz seeks to understand the seeming puzzle of how local predatory systems of power remain resilient in the face of international and domestic pressures. Forcefully persuasive and characteristi-cally passionate, Hadiz chal-lenges readers while arguing convincingly that local power and politics still matter greatly in our globalized world.

“A path-breaking book—theoretically-informed, care-fully researched, and strongly comparative. It shows Hadiz’s remarkable efforts to draw on literatures that span Southeast Asia and beyond. Sure to be widely read, it will stimulate debate and become a standard source for years to come.”

Becoming AsiaChange and Continuity in Asian International Relations Since World War IIAlice Lyman Miller and Richard Wich This work fills a gap by provid-ing a comprehensive, systemic account of Asian affairs, in-cluding South and Central Asia along with East Asia. It explains how Asia, hardly more than a geographic expression at the end of World War II, became the vibrant, assertive region that it is today.

“This elegant synthesis of the major events and their inter-actions in the extraordinarily complex international politics of Asia after WWII is an impor-tant contribution. Tailor made for advanced courses on the history of Asian international relations, its readability and narrative structure also offer the general reader access to a historical perspective on a region that is transforming the world today.”

In Defense of JapanFrom the Market to the Military in Space PolicySaadia M. Pekkanen and Paul Kallender-Umezu In Defense of Japan provides the first complete, up-to-date, Eng-lish-language account of the history, politics, and policy of Japan’s strategic space develop-ment. This book shows how the sum total of market-to-military moves across space launch ve-hicles, satellites and spacecraft, and emerging related technolo-gies, already mark Japan as an advanced military space power.

“What makes this book so useful and impressive is that it draws together extensive coverage of developments in Japan’s space industry—both from the government and the corporate side—with a broad treatment of government reform and Japan’s evolving security policy. In addition, it provides the most sustained argument I am aware of on the role of corporations in Japan’s security policymaking.”
