U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY2

The Case for U.S. Nuclear

Weapons in the 21st CenturyBRAD ROBERTS

Tis book is a counter to the conven-tional wisdom that the United Statescan and should do more to reduceboth the role o nuclear weapons inits security strategies and the numbero weapons in its arsenal. Te caseagainst nuclear weapons has beenmade on many grounds—includinghistorical, political, and moral. But,

Brad Roberts argues, it has not soar been inormed by the experienceo the United States since the ColdWar in trying to adapt deterrence toa changed world, and to create theconditions that would allow urthersignificant changes to U.S. nuclearpolicy and posture.

Drawing on his experience in the mak-ing and implementation o U.S. policyin the Obama administration, Robertsexamines that real world experienceand finds important lessons or thedisarmament enterprise. He concludesthat other nuclear-armed states are notprepared to join the United States inmaking reductions, and that unilateralsteps by the United States to disarmurther would be harmul to itsinterests and those o its allies.

My Journey at the

Nuclear BrinkWILLIAM J. PERRY

My Journey at the Nuclear Brink isa continuation o William J. Perry’sefforts to keep the world sae rom anuclear catastrophe. It tells the storyo his coming o age in the nuclear era,his role in trying to shape and containit, and how his thinking has changedabout the threat these weapons pose.

In a remarkable career, Perry has dealtfirsthand with the changing nuclearthreat. Decades o experience andspecial access to top-secret knowledgeo strategic nuclear options havegiven Perry a unique, and chilling, vantage point rom which to concludethat nuclear weapons endanger oursecurity rather than securing it.

Tis book traces his thought processas he journeys rom the CubanMissile Crisis, to crafing a deense

strategy in the Carter Administra-tion to offset the Soviets’ numericsuperiority in conventional orces,to presiding over the dismantling omore than , nuclear weaponsin the Clinton Administration, andto his creation in , with GeorgeShultz, Sam Nunn, and HenryKissinger, o the Nuclear SecurityProject to articulate their vision oa world ree rom nuclear weaponsand to lay out the urgent steps

needed to reduce nuclear dangers.

U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY AND FOREIGN POLICY4

The Dollar and

National SecurityTe Monetary Componento Hard Power

PAUL VIOTTI

Deense establishments and thearmed orces they organize, train,equip, and deploy depend uponthe security o capital and capitalflows, mechanisms that have becomeincreasingly globalized. Militarycapabilities are thus closely tied tothe viability o global convertibilityand exchange arrangements.

In Te Dollar and National Security ,Paul Viotti explores the links betweenglobal capital flows, policy elites, andnational security. Afer establishingthe historical link between currency,gold, and security, he continues themonetary-security story by examiningthe instrumental role the dollar hasplayed in American economic and

national security over the past sevendecades. He reveals how perceivedindividual and collective interests arethe key drivers toward building thekind o durable consensus necessaryto sustain the external financing oAmerican oreign and national secu-rity policy, and addresses the utureimplications or national security asdecision-makers in the BRICs andother countries position themselves toassume an even larger policy presence

in global commercial, monetary, andsecurity matters.

Forging the Sword

Doctrinal Change in theU.S. Army BENJAMIN M. JENSEN

As entrenched bureaucracies, militaryorganizations might reasonably beexpected to be especially resistantto reorm and avor only limited,incremental adjustments. Yet, since, the U.S. Army has rewritten itscapstone doctrine manual, Operations,ourteen times. Tis reflects a significant

evolution in how the Army approacheswarare—making the U.S. Army acrucial and unique case o a modernland power that is capable o change. Sowhat accounts or this anomaly? Whatinstitutional processes have proessionalofficers developed over time to escapebureaucracies’ iron cage?

Forging the Sword conducts a com-parative historical process-tracing odoctrinal reorm in the U.S. Army. Itargues that change in military organiza-

tions requires “incubators,” designatedsubunits established outside the normalbureaucratic hierarchy, and “advocacynetworks” championing new concepts.Incubators, ranging rom special studygroups to non-itle war games andfield exercises, provide a sae space orexperimentation and the constructiono new operational concepts. Advocacynetworks then connect different con-stituents and inject them with conceptsdeveloped in incubators. Tis injection

makes changes elites would have other-wise rejected a contagious narrative.

Te leading concept o group dynam-ics, groupthink, explains that groupsmake sub-optimal decisions due totheir desire or conormity and unior-mity over dissent, leading to a ailureto consider other relevant possibilities.But presidential advisory groupsare ofen ragmented and divisive.Tis book thereore scrutinizespolythink, a group decision-makingdynamic whereby different membersin a decision-making unit espouse aplurality o opinions and divergentpolicy prescriptions, resulting in adisjointed decision-making process oreven decision paralysis.

cations o the polythink phenomenon,including how to avoid or overcome it.Te authors urther develop strategiesand tools or what they call ProductivePolythink and show the applicabilityo polythink to business, industry, andeveryday decisions.

Classical Geopolitics

A New Analytical Model PHIL KELLY

Geopolitics is the study o how theprojection o power (ideological,cultural, economic, or military) iseffected and affected by the geographicand political landscape in whichit operates. Despite the real worldrelevance o geopolitics, a commonunderstanding o what classicalgeopolitics is and how it works still lies

beyond the reach o both researchersand practitioners.

In Classical Geopolitics, Phil Kellyattempts to build a common theo-retical model, incorporating a host o variables that reflect the complexity othe modern geopolitical stage. He thenanalyzes thirteen pivotal but widelydiffering historical events stretchingrom the Peloponnesian War to WorldWar II, rom the all o the British and

Soviet empires to the contemporarydiplomacy o South America. Troughthis analysis, Kelly tests the efficacyo his model as a comprehensivegeopolitical analytical tool that canbe used across a broad spectrum ogeopolitical contexts and events.

Global Responses to

Maritime ViolenceCooperation and Collective ActionEDITED BY PAUL SHEMELLA

Global Responses to Maritime Violence is a ull discussion o maritimesecurity short o war that goes beyondthe current literature in both scopeand perspective. Te chapters in this volume examine terrorism, piracy,armed robbery at sea, illegal maritimetrafficking, illegal fishing, and other

maritime crimes. Contributors uncoverboth threats and responses as a com-plex ecosystem that challenges eventhe strongest national and regionalinstitutions. Managing this system is a

“wicked problem” that has no ultimatesolution. But the book offers strategicprecepts to guide the efforts o anygovernment that seeks to improve itsresponses to maritime violence.

Te bottom line is that maritime

violence can be managed effectivelyenough to protect citizens and na-tional economies that depend on thesea. Comprehensive in scope, the volume coheres around the premisethat good governance in the maritimedomain, though difficult, is worth theconsiderable resources required.

JEFFREY S. LANTIS

Arms and Influence explores the com-plex relationship between technology,policymaking, and international norms.Modern technological innovationssuch as the atomic bomb, armedunmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), andadvanced reconnaissance satellites haveostered ascinating debates about theboundaries o international normsand legitimate standards o behavior.Tese advances allow governments newopportunities or action around theworld and have, in turn, prompted abroader effort to redefine internationalstandards in areas such as sel-deense,sovereignty, and preemptive strikes.

In this book, Jeffrey S. Lantis develops anew theory o norm change and identi-

fies its stages, including redefinition (in- volving domestic political deliberations)and constructive norm substitution (inmultilateral institutions). He defly takessome o the most controversial newdevelopments in military technologiesand embeds them in internationalrelations theory. Te case evidence hepresents suggests that ascinating periodso norm change are underway acrossnumerous different issue areas.

State Failure in the

Modern WorldZARYAB IQBAL AND HARVEY STARR

State ailure is seen as one o thesignificant threats to regional andinternational stability in the currentinternational system. State Failurein the Modern World presents acomprehensive, systematic, andempirically rigorous analysis othe ull range o the state ailureprocess in the post-World War II state

system—including what state ailuremeans, its causes, what accounts orits duration, its consequences, and itsimplications. Among the questionsthe book addresses are: when and whystate ailure occurs, why it recurs inany single state, and when and why itsconsequences spread to other states.

Te book sets out the array o problemsin previous work on state ailure withrespect to conceptualization and defini-

tion, as well as how the causes andconsequences o state ailure have beenaddressed, and presents analyses todeal with these problems. Any analysiso state ailure can be seen as anexercise in policy evaluation; this bookundertakes the theoretical, conceptual,and analytic work that must be donebeore we can evaluate—or havemuch confidence in—both currentand proposed policy prescriptions toprevent or manage state collapse.

PLA Influence on China’s

National SecurityPolicymakingEDITED BY PHILLIP C. SAUNDERS

AND ANDREW SCOBELL

In recent years there have been reportso actions purportedly taken byPeople’s Liberation Army (PLA) unitswithout civilian authorization, ando Chinese Communist Party (CCP)civilian leaders seeking to curry avorwith the military—suggesting that a

nationalistic and increasingly influ-ential PLA is driving more assertiveChinese policies on a range o militaryand sovereignty issues. o manyexperienced PLA watchers however,the PLA remains a “party-army” thatis responsive to orders rom the CCP.

Tis volume seeks to assess the “real”relationship between the PLA and itscivilian masters by moving beyondmedia and pundit speculation to

mount an in-depth examinationand explanation o the PLA’s role innational security policy-making. Teevidence reveals that today’s PLAdoes appear to have more influenceon purely military issues than inthe past—but much less influenceon political issues—and to be moreactively engaged in policy debateson mixed civil-military issues wheremilitary equities are at stake.

Taiwan’s China Dilemma

Contested Identities and MultipleInterests in aiwan’s Cross-StraitEconomic Policy

SYARU SHIRLEY LIN

China and aiwan share one o theworld’s most complex internationalrelationships. Although similar cul-tures and economic interests promotedan explosion o economic ties betweenthem since the late s, these tieshave not led to an improved politicalrelationship, let alone progress towardthe unification that both governmentsonce claimed to seek. In addition,aiwan’s recent Sunflower Movementsucceeded in obstructing deepereconomic ties with China. Why hasaiwan’s policy toward China been soinconsistent?

aiwan’s China Dilemma explains thedivergence between the developmento economic and political relations

across the aiwan Strait through theinterplay o national identity andeconomic interests. Using primarysources, opinion surveys, and inter- views with aiwanese opinion leaders,Syaru Shirley Lin paints a vivid pictureo one o the most unsettled anddangerous relationships in the con-temporary world, and illustrates thegrowing backlash against economicliberalization and regional economicintegration around the world.

The New Great Game

China and South and Central Asiain the Era o ReormEDITED BY THOMAS FINGAR

China’s rise has elicited envy, admira-tion, and ear among its neighbors.Although much has been writtenabout this, previous coverage protraysevents as determined almost entirelyby Beijing. Such accounts minimize orignore the other side o the equation:namely, what individuals, corporate

actors, and governments in othercountries do to attract, shape, exploit,or deflect Chinese involvement. TeNew Great Game analyzes and explainshow Chinese policies and prioritiesinteract with the goals and actions oother countries in the region.

o explore the reciprocal nature orelations between China and countriesin South and Central Asia, Te NewGreat Game employs numerous policy-

relevant lenses: geography, culture,history, resource endowments, andlevels o development. Tis volumeseeks to discover what has happenedduring the three decades o China’srise and why it happened as it did, withthe goal o deeper understanding oChinese and other national prioritiesand policies and o discerning patternsamong countries and issues.

The Supply Side of Security

A Market Teory o Military Alliances

TONGFI KIM

Te Supply Side o Security conceptual-izes military alliances as contracts orexchanging goods and services. Atthe international level, the marketor these contracts is shaped by howmany countries can supply security.

ongfi Kim identifies the supply

o policy concessions and militarycommitments as the main actors thatexplain the bargaining power o astate in a potential or existing alliance.Additionally, three variables o a state’sdomestic politics significantly affectits negotiating power: whether thereis strong domestic opposition to thealliance, whether the state’s leaderis pro-alliance, and whether thatleader is vulnerable. Kim then looksbeyond existing alliance literature,

which ocuses on threats, to producea deductive theory based on analysiso how the global power structureand domestic politics affect alliances.As China becomes stronger and theU.S. military budget shrinks, TeSupply Side o Security shows thatthese countries should be understoodnot just as competing threats, but ascompeting security suppliers.

No Miracles

Te Failure o Soviet Decision- Making in the Aghan War MICHAEL R. FENZEL

Te Soviet experience in Aghanistanprovides a useul perspective on to-day’s events in the region. Gorbachevdecided in that a withdrawalshould happen as soon as possible. Tesenior leadership o the Soviet Unionbecame aware that their strategy wasunraveling, their operational and tacti-

cal methods were not working, and thesacrifices they were demanding romthe Soviet people and military wereunlikely to produce the results theyhoped or. Tey persisted nonetheless,and it took the Soviets another ouryears to get out.

In No Miracles, Michael R. Fenzelexplains why and how that happened,as viewed rom the center o the Sovietstate. From that perspective, three

sources o ailure stand out: poor civil-military relations; repeated and rapidturnover o Soviet leadership; and theperception that Soviet global prestigeand influence were inexorably tied tothe success o the Aghan mission. Tecost o delay was high or Moscow and,now, the cost o delaying withdrawalis similarly high or the United States.Te Soviet case is instructive orpolicymakers and suggests thatspeeding up plans or withdrawal and

preventing engagement in anotherconflict might be strongly considered.

MarigoldTe Lost Chance or Peace in Vietnam

JAMES G. HERSHBERG

Marigold presents the first rigorouslydocumented, in-depth story o one o theVietnam War’s last great mysteries: thesecret peace initiative, codenamed “Mari-gold,” that sought to end the war in .Te initiative ailed, the war dragged onor another seven years, and this episodesank into history as an unresolved

controversy. Antiwar critics claimedPresident Johnson had bungled (or,worse, deliberately sabotaged) a break-through by bombing Hanoi on the eve oa planned secret U.S.-North Vietnameseencounter in Poland. Yet, LBJ and topaides angrily insisted that Poland neverhad authority to arrange direct talksand Hanoi was not ready to negotiate.

Tis book uses new evidence rom longhidden communist sources to show

that, in act, Poland was authorizedby Hanoi to open direct contacts andthat Hanoi had committed to enteringtalks with Washington. It reveals LBJ’spersonal role in bombing Hanoi as heutterly disregarded the pleas o both thePolish and his own senior advisors. Tehistorical implications o missing thisopportunity are immense: Marigoldmight have ended the war years earlier,saving thousands o lives, and dramati-cally changed U.S. political history.
