Coalitions against NBC-armed regional aggressors: how are they formed, maintained, and led

Article Abstract:

US-led military coalitions against aggressors who possess nuclear, biological or chemical (NBC) weapons have many facets. A successful coalition depends upon common agreement that the aggression has to be suppressed, and on reliance that the US will complete the task. A defined NBC threat facilitates the formation of coalitions, but makes their leadership more difficult, due to different national perceptions of the threat. Attributes of US leadership include power and reliability of purpose, but detriments include lack of reliability concerning completion of military tasks.

Strengthening cooperation against transnational crime

Article Abstract:

No country is now completely protected from the dangers of transnational criminal organizations. Indeed, organized crime has gained a very powerful position in some countries. Members of transnational criminal organizations cannot easily be distinguished from ordinary civilians, but their activities have a significant impact on society, particularly in hampering the activities of legitimate entrepreneurs. Finding effective ways of combatting transnational crime has now become a key international security issue.

Testing ideology against neorealism in Hitler's drive to the East

Article Abstract:

The aggressively ideological character of the Nazi regime serves an interesting test case for the various theories of international relations that claim that a nation's behavior towards its neighbor is influenced by structural, system-level factors than by the specific character of the state in question. It is argued that structural or neorealism cannot really explain Hitler's crucial decision of the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, and that Hitler's ideology should be considered as a determining factor.
