Strategic Assessment 1999
Author: Hans Binnendijk

Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The past year has seen many thresholds crossed and turning points reached in the international security environment. With events like the NATO intervention in Kosovo, tension between India and Pakistan, more failing states, and rising access to dangerous weapons and delivery systems, the job for Department of Defense planners has not become easier. This volume examines trends, U.S. interests, and consequences for U.S. policy, followed by a net assessment for each key area. The international security situation is clearly changed from 1 year ago. The nebulous multipolar environment has been stressed by forces of polarization in recent months. Yet, transition states still cooperate with the Western democratic core states on important issues. As the world continues the process of transformation, we need to properly assess our priorities. The volume contains the following chapters: Global Political Trends: Integration or Disintegration?; Economic Globalization: Stability or Conflict?; Energy and Resources: Ample or Scarce?; Global Military Balance: Stable or Unstable?; Europe: How Much Utility, How Effective? Russia and its Neighbors: Faltering Progress; Greater Middle East: Managing Change in Troubled Times? Asia-Pacific Region: Murky Future? South Asia: Nuclear Geopolitics? Sub-Saharan Africa: Progress or Drift? The Western Hemisphere: Rethinking Strategic Relations? The Democratic Core: How Large, How Effective? Transition States: New Destinies? Rogue States and Proliferation: How Serious is the Threat? Troubled States: How Troubling, How Manageable? Transnational Trends: New Threats? Conventional Operations and Warfare: A New Era Ahead?. Strategic Forces and Deterrence: New Realities, New Roles? Global Arms Control and Disarmament: Cloudy Prospects? Space and Oceans: Can They Be Controlled?

East Asia in Transition
Author: Wendy Dobson
Publisher: Hsbc Bank Canada Papers on Asi
ISBN: 9780802037138
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The HSBC Bank Canada Papers on Asia series was begun in 1995 to examine Canada's relationship with the East Asian economies and to reduce the information barriers resulting from distance and unfamiliarity in these markets. Six years on from the inception of the series, much has changed in the international environment. The Asian economies suffered a significant crash, a rapid rebound, only to slow again in 2000-2001. This, the sixth and last volume in the series, looks to the future. This new volume focuses on key issues facing the region that corporations and governments should understand, including East Asian regionalization initiatives, obstacles to continued rapid growth in China, aging and pension reform, and the changing security environment. In addition, the Canadian business performance six years on is re-evaluated. With contributions from leading scholars intimately familiar with both Canadian and East Asian business practices, these volumes are an indispensable resource for corporations and governments looking to expand their business into East Asia, or for anyone who wants to better understand Canada's complex relationship with the Asian countries.

The Twenty-First Century: The World Without Russia
Author: Олег Арин/Алекс Бэттлер
Publisher: SCHOLARICA
ISBN:
Category : Social Science

Book Description
In this book, Alex Battler questions the assertion of Russia’s status as a great power in the acuminate form. The author reveals the contradictions between Russia’s real modern potential and its foreign policy objectives formulated by official Moscow. The author has formulated laws on the Pole, the Center of Power, and Force. Battler introduces some new concepts of the Theory of International Relations: The Foreign Policy Potential of the State and The Law on the Optimal Balance Between the Costs of Domestic and Foreign Policy. On almost all problems raised by the author, his views do not coincide with generally accepted interpretations and approaches. The second extended edition of the book “The Twenty-First Century: The World Without Russia” includes updated copyright and newly added parts and paragraphs.
