How 9/11 Changed Our

Ways of WarEDITED BY JAMES BURK

Following the / attacks, a waragainst al Qaeda by the U.S. and itsliberal democratic allies was next toinevitable. But what kind o war wouldit be, how would it be ought, or howlong, and what would it cost in livesand money? None o this was knownat the time. What came to be knownwas that the old ways o war must

changebut how?

Now, with over a decade o politicaldecision-making and warfighting toanalyze, How / Changed Our Waysof Waraddresses that question. Inparticular it assesses how well thoseways o war, adapted to fight terrorism,affect our military capacity to protectandsustain liberal democratic values.

Te book pursues three themes: whatshaped the strategic choice to go to

war; what orce was used to wage thewar; and what resources were neededto carry on the fight?

Endurance and War

Te National Sources o MilitaryCohesion

JASEN J. CASTILLO

Scholars and military practitionersalike have long sought to understandwhy some countries militaries fighthard when acing deeat while otherscollapse. In Endurance and War, JasenCastillo presents a new uniyingtheorycohesion theoryto explainwhy national militaries differ in their

staying power. His argument builds oninsights rom the literatures on groupsolidarity in general and militaryeffectiveness in particular, which arguethat the stronger the ties bindingtogether individuals in a group o anykind, the higher the degree o cohe-sion that a group will exhibit whentaking collective action, includingfighting in war. Specifically, he arguesthat two types o ties determine thecohesion, and thereore the resilience,o a nations armed orces during war:the degree o control a regime holdsover its citizens and the amount oautonomy the armed orces possess toocus on training or warfighting.

Military Adaptation in

AfghanistanEDITED BY THEO FARRELL, FRANS

OSINGA AND JAMES A. RUSSELL

When NAO took charge o theInternational Security AssistanceForce (ISAF) or Aghanistan in, ISAF conceptualized its mis-sion largely as a stabilization andreconstruction deployment. However,as the campaign has evolved and theinsurgency has proved to be more

resistant and capable, key operationalimperatives have emerged, includingmilitary support to the civilian devel-opment effort, closer partnering withAghan security orces, and greatermilitary restraint. All participatingmilitaries have adapted, to varyingextents, to these campaign imperativesand pressures.

Tis book analyzes these initiativesand their outcomes by ocusing onthe experiences o three groups omilitaries: those o Britain, Canada,Denmark, the Netherlands, and theUS, which have aced the most intenseoperational and strategic pressures;Germany, whose troops have acedthe greatest political and culturalconstraints; and the Aghan NationalArmy (ANA) and the aliban, whohave been orced to adapt to a verydifferent sets o circumstances.

Waging War

Alliances, Coalitions, andInstitutions o Interstate Violence

PATRICIA A. WEITSMAN

Military alliances provide constraintsand opportunities or states seekingto advance their interests around theglobe. War, rom the Western perspec-tive, is not a solitary endeavor. Partner-ships o all types serve as a oundationor the projection o power and theemployment o orce. Tese relation-

ships among states provide the ounda-tion upon which hegemony is built.

Waging Warargues that these institu-tions o interstate violencenot justthe technology, capability, and level oproessionalism and training o armedorcesserve as ready mechanismsto employ orce. Patricia Weitsmanoutlines what she calls a realist institu-tionalist agenda: one that understandsinstitutions as conduits o capabil-

ity. She demonstrates and tests theargument in five empirical chapters,examining the cases o the first GulWar, Kosovo, Aghanistan, Iraq, andLibya. Each case has distinct lessons aswell as important generalizations orcontemporary multilateral warfighting.


Providing for National

SecurityA Comparative Analysis

EDITED BY ANDREW M. DORMAN AND

JOYCE P. KAUFMAN

Providing for National Security arguesthat the provision o national securityhas changed in the st century as aresult o a variety o different pressuresand threats. In this timely volumeexperts rom both the academicand policy worlds present di-

erent country case studies drawnrom across the globeincludingestablished and newer states, large andsmaller states, those on the rise andthose in apparent declineto identiywhat these key players consider tobe their national security priorities,how they go about providing nationalsecurity, how they manage nationalsecurity, and what role they see ortheir armed orces now and in theuture. Te book concludes that

relative standing and the balance opower remains important to each state,and that all see an important role orarmed orces in the uture.

MARY KALDOR

Tis third edition has been ullyrevised and updated. Mary Kaldorhas added an aferword answeringcritics o the News Wars argumentand, in a new chapter, she shows howold war thinking in Aghanistan andIraq greatly exacerbated what turnedout to be, in many ways, archetypal

new warscharacterized by identitypolitics, a criminalized war economy,and civilians as the main victims. Likeits predecessors, the third edition oNew and Old Warswill be essentialreading or students o internationalrelations, politics and conflict studiesas well as to all those interested inthe changing nature and prospect owarare.

A timely and important book. Putting

the so-called revolution in military af-fairs firmly to one side, Mary Kaldorhas provided us with a window into the

ROBERT MANDEL

Tis book calls into question the com-monly held contentions that centralgovernments are the most importantor even the sole sources o a nationsstability, and that the subnational andtransnational nonstate orces are amajor source o global instability. Byassessing recent real-world trends,

Robert Mandel reveals that areasexist where it makes little sense torely on state governments or stability,and that attempts to bolster suchgovernments to promote stability ofenprove utile. He demonstrates howarmed nonstate groups can sometimesprovide local stability better that states,and how power-sharing arrangementsbetween states and armed nonstategroups may sometimes be viable. Heconcludes that these trends in theinternational setting call or majorshifs in our understanding o whatconstitutes stable governancepro-posing that we adopt a fluid emergentactor approach.

An unusually important contribution tothe study of governance in the contextof conflict.

It Takes More than a

NetworkTe Iraqi Insurgency andOrganizational AdaptationCHAD C. SERENA

It akes More than a Networkpresentsa structured investigation o theIraqi insurgencys capacity or andconduct o organizational adaptation.In particular, it answers the questiono why the Iraqi insurgency wasseemingly so successul between and late and yet nearly totallycollapsed by . Te books mainargument is that the Iraqi insurgencyailed to achieve longer-term orga-nizational goals because many o itsorganizational strengths were alsoits organizational weaknesses: thesecharacteristics abetted and thencorrupted the Iraqi insurgencys abilityto adapt.

Experts on armed violence have noted

the growing significance of network-or-ganized insurgencies for some time, butuntil Chad Serenas important new bookthere was no comprehensive analysis ofthem integrating organizational theoryand empirical research. His book is apath-breaking work that should be readby both scholars and practitioners.

Culture, Conflict, and

CounterinsurgencyEDITED BY THOMAS H. JOHNSON AND

BARRY ZELLEN

Te authors o Culture, Conflict andCounterinsurgencycontend that anenduring victory can still be achievedin Aghanistan. However, to secureit we must better understand thecultural oundations o the continuingconflicts that rage across Aghanistanand Pakistan, and shif our strategy

rom an attritional engagement to asmarter war plan that embraces thesecultural dimensions.

Tey examine the nexus o culture,conflict, and strategic intervention,and attempt to establish i culture isimportant in a national security andoreign policy context, and to explorehow cultural phenomena and inorma-tion can best be used by the military.In the process they address just howintimate cultural knowledge needs tobe to counter an insurgency effectively.

Years of experience gained amongAfghanistans diverse peoples and un-forgiving mountains, as well as throughstateside analysis, infuse these essays,valuable reading for anyone concernedwith Afghanistans future.

7PROLIFERATION AND WMD

Deterring Terrorism

Teory and PracticeEDITED BY ANDREAS WENGER AND

ALEX WILNER

During the Cold War, deterrencetheory was the cornerstone o U.S.oreign policy. Following the /terrorist attacks, however, popularwisdom dictated that terrorist organi-zations and radical anatics could notbe deterredand governments shifedtheir attention to combating terrorism

rather than deterring it.

Tis book challenges that prevailingassumption and offers insight as towhen and where terrorism can bedeterred. It first identifies how andwhere theories o deterrence applyto counterterrorism, highlightinghow traditional and less-traditionalnotions o deterrence can be appliedto evolving terrorist threats. It thenapplies these theoretical propositions

to real-world threats to establish therole deterrence has within a dynamiccounterterrorism strategyand toidentiy how metrics can be createdor measuring the success o terror-ism deterrence strategies. In sum, itprovides a oundation or developingeffective counterterrorism policiesto help states contain or curtail theterrorism challenges they ace.

MANJARI CHATTERJEE MILLER

Although India and China have verydifferent experiences o colonialism,they respond to that history in a simi-lar wayby treating it as a collectivetrauma. As a result they have a strongsense o victimization that affects theiroreign policy decisions even today.

Wronged by Empirebreaks newground by blending this historicalphenomenon, colonialism, with mixedmethodsincluding archival research,newspaper data mining, and a newstatistical method o content analysisto explain the oreign policy choiceso India and China: two countries thatare continuously discussed but veryrarely rigorously compared. By reer-ence to their colonial past, ManjariChatterjee Miller explains their puz-

The Politics of American

Foreign PolicyHow Ideology Divides Liberals andConservatives over Foreign AffairsPETER HAYS GRIES

Flying in the ace o the widely heldbelie that in the U.S. politics stopsat the waters edge, Te Politicsof American Foreign Policyarguesthat ideology powerully dividesAmericans over international affairs.In this controversial book, Peter Griesdirectly challenges the view o main-stream political science that ideologydoes notshape the global views o theAmerican people, and that Americansare united in support o multilateral-ism. And he reutes two o the sacredcows o public opinion: that theculture wars are overblown, and thata small Israel lobby is driving U.S.Middle East policy.

Peter Gries makes a convincing case

that the partisan paralysis that hasdistorted our domestic politics has hada surprisingly powerful effect on foreignpolicy as well. He challenges the conven-tional wisdom both among academic

political scientists and among journal-ists and political practitioners about theway public sentiments shape Americandecisions on war and peace.

Constructing Cassandra

Reraming Intelligence Failure atthe CIA, MILO JONES AND

PHILIPPE SILBERZAHN

Constructing Cassandraconducts aninquiry into the intelligence ailuresat the CIA that resulted in our keystrategic surprises experienced by theU.S.: the Cuban Missile Crisis in ,the Iranian revolution o , thecollapse o the USSR in , and the

/ terrorist attacks. While some othese events may seem distant, thesesurprises still play out today in U.S.policy. Although there has been noshortage o studies exploring howintelligence ailures can happen, noneo the prevailing explanations has beenable to provide a unified understandingo the phenomenon. Without thatunderstanding, ailures will happenagainwith dramatic consequences.

This important book will provoke adebate within the Intelligence Com-munity that will expose new truths andframe current intelligence dilemmas ina new light. Its emphasis on the socialnature of intelligence analysis willcontribute to a new understanding ofthe intelligence process.
