Culture in Conict
In response to the irregular warfare challenges facing the U.S. in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2005, General James Mattisthen commander of Marine Corps Combat Development Commandestablished a new Marine Corps cultural initiative. The goal was simple: teach Marines to interact successfully with the local population in areas of conflict. The implications, however, were anything but simple: transform an elite military culture founded on the principles of locate, close with, and destroy the enemy into a culturally savvy Marine Corps. Culture in Conflict: Irregular Warfare, Culture Policy, and the Marine Corps examines the conflicted trajectory of the Marine Corps efforts to institute a radical culture policy into a military organization that is structured and trained to fight conventional wars. More importantly, however, it is a compelling book about Americas shifting military identity in a new world of unconventional warfare.

Following the 9/11 attacks, a war against al Qaeda by the U.S. and its liberal democratic allies was next to inevitable. But what kind of war would it be, how would it be fought, for how long, and what would it cost in lives and money? None of this was known at the time. What came to be known was that the old ways of war must changebut how? Now, with over a decade of political decision-making and warfighting to analyze, How 9/11 Changed Our Ways of War addresses that question. In particular it assesses how well those ways of war, adapted to fight terrorism, affect our military capacity to protect and sustain liberal democratic values. The book pursues three themes: what shaped the strategic choice to go to war; what force was used to wage the war; and what resources were needed to carry on the fight?

Scholars and military practitioners alike have long sought to understand why some countries militaries fight hard when facing defeat while others collapse. In Endurance and War, Jasen Castillo presents a new unifying theorycohesion theoryto explain why national militaries differ in their staying power. His argument builds on insights from the literatures on group solidarity in general and military effectiveness in particular, which argue that the stronger the ties binding together individuals in a group of any kind, the higher the degree of cohesion that a group will exhibit when taking collective action, including fighting in war. Specifically, he argues that two types of ties determine the cohesion, and therefore the resilience, of a nations armed forces during war: the degree of control a regime holds over its citizens and the amount of autonomy the armed forces possess to focus on training for warfighting.

When NATO took charge of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) for Afghanistan in 2003, ISAF conceptualized its mission largely as a stabilization and reconstruction deployment. However, as the campaign has evolved and the insurgency has proved to be more resistant and capable, key operational imperatives have emerged, including military support to the civilian development effort, closer partnering with Afghan security forces, and greater military restraint. All participating militaries have adapted, to varying extents, to these campaign imperatives and pressures. This book analyzes these initiatives and their outcomes by focusing on the experiences of three groups of militaries: those of Britain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the US, which have faced the most intense operational and strategic pressures; Germany, whose troops have faced the greatest political and cultural constraints; and the Afghan National Army (ANA) and the Taliban, who have been forced to adapt to a very different sets of circumstances.

GLOBAL SEcURITY
Waging War
A Comparative Analysis
Military alliances provide constraints and opportunities for states seeking to advance their interests around the globe. War, from the Western perspective, is not a solitary endeavor. Partnerships of all types serve as a foundation for the projection of power and the employment of force. These relationships among states provide the foundation upon which hegemony is built. Waging War argues that these institutions of interstate violencenot just the technology, capability, and level of professionalism and training of armed forcesserve as ready mechanisms to employ force. Patricia Weitsman outlines what she calls a realist institutionalist agenda: one that understands institutions as conduits of capability. She demonstrates and tests the argument in five empirical chapters, examining the cases of the first Gulf War, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Each case has distinct lessons as well as important generalizations for contemporary multilateral warfighting.

Providing for National Security argues that the provision of national security has changed in the 21st century as a result of a variety of different pressures and threats. In this timely volume experts from both the academic and policy worlds present 13 different country case studies drawn from across the globeincluding established and newer states, large and smaller states, those on the rise and those in apparent declineto identify what these key players consider to be their national security priorities, how they go about providing national security, how they manage national security, and what role they see for their armed forces now and in the future. The book concludes that relative standing and the balance of power remains important to each state, and that all see an important role for armed forces in the future.

This third edition has been fully revised and updated. Mary Kaldor has added an afterword answering critics of the News Wars argument and, in a new chapter, she shows how old war thinking in Afghanistan and Iraq greatly exacerbated what turned out to be, in many ways, archetypal new warscharacterized by identity politics, a criminalized war economy, and civilians as the main victims. Like its predecessors, the third edition of New and Old Wars will be essential reading for students of international relations, politics and conflict studies as well as to all those interested in the changing nature and prospect of warfare. A timely and important book. Putting the so-called revolution in military affairs firmly to one side, Mary Kaldor has provided us with a window into the future of war.

GLOBAL SEcURITY
This book calls into question the commonly held contentions that central governments are the most important or even the sole sources of a nations stability, and that the subnational and transnational nonstate forces are a major source of global instability. By assessing recent real-world trends, Robert Mandel reveals that areas exist where it makes little sense to rely on state governments for stability, and that attempts to bolster such governments to promote stability often prove futile. He demonstrates how armed nonstate groups can sometimes provide local stability better that states, and how power-sharing arrangements between states and armed nonstate groups may sometimes be viable. He concludes that these trends in the international setting call for major shifts in our understanding of what constitutes stable governanceproposing that we adopt a fluid emergent actor approach. An unusually important contribution to the study of governance in the context of conflict.
William Reno, Northwestern University
In a decade that includes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the NATO action in Libya it behooves us to understand when interventions are likely, when they make sense, and when they might work. This book puts on firmer foundation answers to those questions and should inform policy and future scholarship alike.
Patrick Regan, Binghamton University (SUNY)
Controlling Immigration
It Takes More than a Network presents a structured investigation of the Iraqi insurgencys capacity for and conduct of organizational adaptation. In particular, it answers the question of why the Iraqi insurgency was seemingly so successful between 2003 and late 2006 and yet nearly totally collapsed by 2008. The books main argument is that the Iraqi insurgency failed to achieve longer-term organizational goals because many of its organizational strengths were also its organizational weaknesses: these characteristics abetted and then corrupted the Iraqi insurgencys ability to adapt. Experts on armed violence have noted the growing significance of network-organized insurgencies for some time, but until Chad Serenas important new book there was no comprehensive analysis of them integrating organizational theory and empirical research. His book is a path-breaking work that should be read by both scholars and practitioners.

The authors of Culture, Conflict and Counterinsurgency contend that an enduring victory can still be achieved in Afghanistan. However, to secure it we must better understand the cultural foundations of the continuing conflicts that rage across Afghanistan and Pakistan, and shift our strategy from an attritional engagement to a smarter war plan that embraces these cultural dimensions. They examine the nexus of culture, conflict, and strategic intervention, and attempt to establish if culture is important in a national security and foreign policy context, and to explore how cultural phenomena and information can best be used by the military. In the process they address just how intimate cultural knowledge needs to be to counter an insurgency effectively. Years of experience gained among Afghanistans diverse peoples and unforgiving mountains, as well as through stateside analysis, infuse these essays, valuable reading for anyone concerned with Afghanistans future.

Learning to Forget
Learning to Forget analyzes the evolution of U.S. counterinsurgency (COIN) doctrine over the last five decades. Beginning with an extensive section on the lessons of Vietnam, it traces the decline of COIN in the 1970s, then the rebirth of low intensity conflict through the Reagan years and the conflict in Bosnia, culminating in the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. It explains how the lessons of Vietnam led the Army to Iraq and the way in which their confronting and reimagining of these lessons offered them a way out of that war. In the process it provides an illustration of how military leaders make use of history and demonstrates the difficulties of drawing lessons from the past that can usefully be applied to contemporary circumstances. An excellent study that takes a hard look at Americas longest and possibly darkest military shadow.

Deterring Terrorism
Edited By ANdreAs WeNGer ANd ALeX WiLNer
During the Cold War, deterrence theory was the cornerstone of U.S. foreign policy. Following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, however, popular wisdom dictated that terrorist organizations and radical fanatics could not be deterredand governments shifted their attention to combating terrorism rather than deterring it. This book challenges that prevailing assumption and offers insight as to when and where terrorism can be deterred. It first identifies how and where theories of deterrence apply to counterterrorism, highlighting how traditional and less-traditional notions of deterrence can be applied to evolving terrorist threats. It then applies these theoretical propositions to real-world threats to establish the role deterrence has within a dynamic counterterrorism strategyand to identify how metrics can be created for measuring the success of terrorism deterrence strategies. In sum, it provides a foundation for developing effective counterterrorism policies to help states contain or curtail the terrorism challenges they face.

The last two decades have seen an increase in nuclear armed states, and in the less constrained policy goals of some of the newer rogue states in the international system. The authors of On Limited Nuclear War in the 21st Century argue that a time may come when one of these states makes the conscious decision that using a nuclear weapon against the United States, its allies, or forward deployed forces in the context of a crisis or a regional conventional conflict may be in its interests. They assert that we are unprepared for these types of limited nuclear wars and that it is urgent we rethink the theory, policy, and implementation of force related to our approaches to this type of engagement.

Zachary S. Davis, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Interest in nuclear energy has surged in recent years, yet there are risks that accompany the global diffusion of nuclear powerespecially the possibility that the spread of nuclear energy will facilitate nuclear weapons proliferation. In this book, leading experts analyze the tradeoffs associated with nuclear energy and put the nuclear renaissance in historical context, evaluating both the causes and the strategic effects of nuclear energy development. This insightful volume asks all of the big questions raised by the future of nuclear power and brings together leading experts to shed light on them. The carefully researched chapters avoid overly simple answers, instead providing analysis that supports nuanced conclusions. Beyond advancing the scholarly debate, this excellent volume offers valuable guidance to policy makers.

Although India and China have very different experiences of colonialism, they respond to that history in a similar wayby treating it as a collective trauma. As a result they have a strong sense of victimization that affects their foreign policy decisions even today. Wronged by Empire breaks new ground by blending this historical phenomenon, colonialism, with mixed methodsincluding archival research, newspaper data mining, and a new statistical method of content analysis to explain the foreign policy choices of India and China: two countries that are continuously discussed but very rarely rigorously compared. By reference to their colonial past, Manjari Chatterjee Miller explains their puzzling behavior today. For example, she demonstrates why in important cases (such as India going nuclear in 1998 or Chinas fraught relationship with Japan) their foreign policy behavior is not consistent with the security explanations that are dominant in international relations.

Islam in the Balance is an analysis of how ideas, or political ideology, can threaten states and how states react to ideational threats. It examines the threat perception and policies of two Arab, Muslim majority states, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, in response to the rise and activities of two revolutionary Islamic states, established in Iran (1979) and Sudan (1989). The book has significant implications for international relations theory and engages important debates in comparative politics about authoritarianism and Islamic activism. Its findings about how an Islamist regime or state behaves will provide vital insight for policy creation by the U.S. and its Middle East allies should another such regime or state emerge. This groundbreaking book unites theoretical innovation with area-based insight. It is essential reading for area specialists, along with political scientists and even a more general audience.

NATO in Afghanistan
Flying in the face of the widely held belief that in the U.S. politics stops at the waters edge, The Politics of American Foreign Policy argues that ideology powerfully divides Americans over international affairs. In this controversial book, Peter Gries directly challenges the view of mainstream political science that ideology does not shape the global views of the American people, and that Americans are united in support of multilateralism. And he refutes two of the sacred cows of public opinion: that the culture wars are overblown, and that a small Israel lobby is driving U.S. Middle East policy. Peter Gries makes a convincing case that the partisan paralysis that has distorted our domestic politics has had a surprisingly powerful effect on foreign policy as well. He challenges the conventional wisdom both among academic political scientists and among journalists and political practitioners about the way public sentiments shape American decisions on war and peace.

This collection of essays by notable scholars advances our understanding of aspects of European intelligence history, still an underdog field compared to the enormous literature on Anglo-American intelligence. The essays on French intelligence, in particular, are outstandinggems of insight into a national intelligence system that struggled to make a difference.
Wesley Wark, University of Ottawa
Constructing Cassandra conducts an inquiry into the intelligence failures at the CIA that resulted in four key strategic surprises experienced by the U.S.: the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, the Iranian revolution of 1978, the collapse of the USSR in 1991, and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. While some of these events may seem distant, these surprises still play out today in U.S. policy. Although there has been no shortage of studies exploring how intelligence failures can happen, none of the prevailing explanations has been able to provide a unified understanding of the phenomenon. Without that understanding, failures will happen againwith dramatic consequences. This important book will provoke a debate within the Intelligence Community that will expose new truths and frame current intelligence dilemmas in a new light. Its emphasis on the social nature of intelligence analysis will contribute to a new understanding of the intelligence process.
