Description

This volume offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary global security challenges, civil-military relations, and strategic responses to emerging threats. The Features section begins with Zoltan Barany’s examination of how to establish democratic armies, followed by Hans-Jürgen Kasselmann’s analysis of civil-military cooperation as a tool for managing complex crises. Christian Bayer Tygesen addresses the civil-military imbalance in Afghanistan and its implications for democratization, while Frank J. Cilluffo and Joseph R. Clark provide insights into understanding and countering strategic hybrid threats. R. Evan Ellis shifts the focus to transnational crime, detailing the rise of Chinese organized crime in Latin America, and Chiemi Hayashi and Amey Soo discuss the value of adaptive leadership during crises. Gordon Woo concludes the section by offering a framework for managing the risks of future foreign conflict interventions. In the From the Field section, John Acree reflects on the internal challenges of stabilization efforts in Afghanistan. The Lessons Learned segment features two reports by Stuart W. Bowen, Jr., and Craig Collier, providing an overview of reconstruction efforts and the human costs associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Interview section features a conversation with Richard N. Haass. The volume concludes with two Book Reviews: Michelle Hughes assesses Advancing the Rule of Law Abroad, while Nathaniel L.
