Title: Japan's Comprehensive National Security and the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy: Convergence Towards Global Cooperation?
Descriptive Note: Master's thesis
Personal Authors: Klenke, Carsten
Report Date: JUN 2000
Pages: 123 PAGES
Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, the world poses a new, multipolar, political environment. Japan, a major economic power, embarked on multilateralism in the 1970s, when the unquestioned and unlimited U.S. support for Japan's one-sided economic foreign policy diminished. This process revealed cultural and traditional shortcomings in Japan's foreign policy conduct. The concept of Comprehensive National Security, created in 1980 was utilized to overcome these shortcomings, but did not succeed substantially. The European Community created European Political Cooperation (EPC) to match economic and politic influence. An immobile bureaucracy and the tendency of EU member states to retain certain sovereignty rights rendered EPC relatively unsuccessful. The EU sought to overcome these problems with the new Common Foreign and Security policy (CFSP). However, changes in decision making were marginal and consequentially did not improve CFSP in comparison to EPC. EU-Japan economics as well as political cooperation suffered from incompatibilities between the EU and Japan in the conduct of policy making. Only major reform attempts by both, leading to a higher degree of compatibility and the limitation on moderate goals offer the chance of successful cooperation. Global cooperation seems only achievable in the long term.

GUERRE CIVILE - DEVELOPPEMENT CONFLITS


"ECONOMIC CAUSES OF CIVIL CONFLICT AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR POLICY" By Paul Collier


http://www.worldbank.org/research/conflict/papers/civilconflict.pdf


"Aid, Policy and Peace" By Paul Collier and Anke Hoeffler, First Draft: August 17, 2000
Abstract : We analyze theoretically and empirically the effects of economic policy and the receipt of foreign aid on the risk of civil war. We find that aid and policy do not have direct effects upon conflict risk. However, both directly affect the growth rate and the extent of dependence upon primary commodity exports, and these in turn affect the risk of conflict. Simulating the effect of a package of policy reform and increased aid on the average aid recipient country, we find that after five years the risk of conflict is reduced by 30%. http://www.worldbank.org/research/conflict/papers/aidpolicy.htm

Title: Transatlantic Armaments Cooperation: Report of the Military Research Fellows DSMC 1999-2000
Personal Authors: Catington, Richard C.; Knudson, Ole A.; Yodzis, Joseph B.
Report Date: AUG 2000
Pages: 228 PAGES
Abstract: This publication presents the results of an intensive 11-month program for three military research fellows. The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition) (USD (A)) chartered the Defense Systems Management College (DSMC) Military Research Fellowship Program in 1987. The program brings together selected officers from the Army, Navy, and Air Force for two primary purposes: first to provide advanced professional and military education for the participating officers; and second, to conduct research that will benefit the Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition community. This report focuses on transatlantic cooperative programs. Cooperation with Europe was chosen because of the important political, military, economic, and historical transatlantic ties, but most important, because America's relationship with Europe is rapidly evolving. There is substantial concern about a "Fortress America - Fortress Europe" syndrome. Political leaders and the public both here and in Europe are attempting to come to terms with the meaning of the NATO alliance in the post- Cold War era. European assertiveness and unity are clashing with dated perceptions about Europe held by Americans. Our intended audience is both the U. S. defense acquisition workforce and policy makers. For the former, we hoped to produce a useful guide that will make them more effective as members of a cooperative team. For the latter, we attempted to provide an updated comprehensive view of the salient features of transatlantic armaments cooperation and some ways in which the context is changing.

Title: Western-Style Armaments for New NATO Countries,
Descriptive Note: Final rept.,
Personal Authors: Patterson, Christina M.; Markov, David R.; Richter, Karen J.
Report Date: JUN 1999
Pages: 166 PAGES
Abstract: This paper documents the results of a study to determine cost- effective ways in which the three new NATO nations (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland) can convert their Warsaw Pact-style manufacturing practices to those that would produce NATO-compatible ammunition and weapons. Recommendations are given that reference capabilities and services of the U.S. Army. Extensive tables are included listing the current manufacturers, their capabilities, and the types of ammunition and weapons they produce. The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) performed this work under the task entitled "Western-Style Armament Capability for New NATO Members". Our objective was threefold: (1) to determine the state of weapons production in the three new countries entering NATO (Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland) and compare it with Western-style armaments production; (2) to suggest alternative ways to convert the countries' manufacturing processes to produce NATO-compatible armaments and recommend ways of motivating internal change; and (3) to investigate some aspects of costs associated with upgrades and the cost savings of good planning in this area.

"Terrorism, Asymmetric Warfare And Chemical Weapons"

Describes the threat and effect of asymmetric and terrorist attacks using chemical weapons. Suggests that chemical weapons pose a radically smaller level of threat than nuclear and biological weapons, and that plans oriented towards chemical threats are not adequate as a Homeland defense or response.

Title: Terrorism in Turkey
Personal Authors: Oztekin, Yuksel
Report Date: 17 APR 2000
Pages: 32 PAGES 
Abstract: Turkey has been fighting against the PKK (Kurdistan Worker Party) since 1985. The purpose of this study is to define what the PKK is, to explain origin of the Kurdish citizen, to define differences between the PKK and the Kurdish citizen and to try to find a solution to this problem within the frame of democratic rule. Turkey has been the unique target of international terrorism since 1965. To understand fully Turkey's importance one must take into consideration her geographical location, social and economic potential. Turkey has always attracted international attention. It will be probably the same in the future. Turkey is the only Islamic nation in NATO. It is however; totally secular, democratic and based on free market principles. On the other hand Turkey was a major obstacle for the ideological and military expansion of the Soviet Union towards the Middle East. This was the main reason why Turkey had been the main target of terrorism. The PKK has a close relationship to international terrorism and all kinds of illegal practices. Turkey has been accumulating a very costly social experience in the last three decades. International terrorism has been threatening not only Turkey, but also all democratic societies in the world. On account of this fact, the core of the solution depends on effective measures, which will have to be taken by all democratic societies, governments and institutions. The PKk is not a freedom fighter; it is a terrorist organization.

Title: Changing Security Dynamics in Southeast Asia: The PACOM Theater Engagement Plan Missing the Mark
Descriptive Note: Final rept.
Personal Authors: Ratcliff, Ronald E.
Report Date: 16 MAY 2000
Pages: 23 PAGES
Abstract: The United States and USCINCPAC have long considered themselves to be the final arbitrator of security in the South China Sea. America's Asian dominance is being openly challenged by China and quietly questioned by Southeast Asian nations. While casting about to find policies that engage China while protecting U.S. interests, our policies and efforts have failed to induce the regional community to embrace any sort of collective security framework to insure the region's future stability, have sent mixed signals to our friends, allies and potential foes alike, and, finally, have generally ignored one of America's most important strategic interests, the sea lanes that run through the area. American policy statements avoid identifying specific vital interests and perceived threats to those interests and rely instead on omnibus statements about the need for a peaceful and stabile region. Regrettably, the purposeful ambiguity of American policy leaves precipitous gaps in defining to Asia genuine U.S. strategic interests and bolstering confidence in Asia that America has a long-term commitment to the region. U.S. needs and wants are not synonymous with those of our security partners in Southeast Asia. Their strategic interests and theater objectives, while similar in many cases, are not the same as those of the U.S. Those differences are not adequately accounted for in the PACOM Theater Engagement Plan (TEP). The TEP's principal shortfall is that it focuses too heavily (in terms of resources and planning) on military exercises that concentrate on combat operations. Their needs reflect their strategic situation: Rather than an external military threat that might invade their homelands, they are concerned about protecting their Exclusive Economic Zones, stemming illegal immigration and smuggling, combating piracy, disaster relief and, not least, assuring current ruling regime security.

"Defence Policy 2001 :Future Strategic Context For Defence "


UK Ministry of Defence, Released Feb. 2001

In publishing these two separate documents setting out the government's defense policy, British defense minister Geoff Hoon hopes to "encourage a serious and open debate on defence." The first document, Defence Policy 2001, is a concise statement of Britain's defence policy and "includes a clear and full statement of our approach to European defence" while the second, titled "The Future Strategic Context For Defence," tries to identify "the challenges that will face defense over the next thirty years."

This report by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee contains no great revelations, but adds some previously-unreported details. For example, a lack of spare parts led to widespread cannibalization of combat aircraft (costing 50 million pounds to put right for Harriers alone). Also, Harriers flew with fuselage mounted missiles which suffered from proximity to heat and from vibration, so that wthin two months over half of missile stocks were unserviceable.

Title: The Pragmatic Entente: Turkey's Growing Relations With Israel.
Descriptive Note: Master's thesis,
Personal Authors: Smith, Randy J.
Report Date: JAN 2000
Pages: 105 PAGES
Abstract: For the past decade, the international political system has undergone a significant transformation as it has tried to adjust to the end of the bipolar world. The post-Cold War era has allowed individual states more freedom of maneuver in implementing foreign policy initiatives and one of the most ambitious states in this regard has been the Republic of Turkey. Turkey has initiated several bold initiatives that have all experienced varying degrees of success. However, the initiative that has created the most controversy is Turkey's increasing cooperation with Israel. This study reveals what has been officially agreed upon by the two countries in terms of military, economic and political relations and traces the history of Turkish-Israeli relations from 1948 to the present. In the course of this discussion, the vital role of the United States becomes apparent as well as both countries' turbulent regional relations. It is these regional relations, this study argues, that has given Turkey and Israel primary motive for entering into closer cooperation. In almost all fields, cooperation between Turkey and Israel has increased and many states that perceive themselves threatened by this relationship have labeled it an alliance that threatens the entire Middle East. There are several potential impediments to continued Turkish- Israeli cooperation but none serious enough to significantly hinder relations. Thus, Turkey and Israel are in a position to dramatically influence Middle Eastern politics in the years ahead. It is therefore imperative for both countries to act cautiously and bring about a more prosperous Middle East where regional cooperation replaces political rivalry.

Title: European Security Interests and the Greek-Turkish Conflict: Transforming Old Antagonists into an Archetype of Intercultural Detente
Descriptive Note: Master's thesis
Personal Authors: Ziegler, David Q.
Report Date: 15 OCT 1999
Pages: 109 PAGES
Report Number: FY99-315
Abstract: Tensions between Greece and Turkey have continued publicly since the 1920's and aside from a few occasions where these two Aegean adversaries nearly came to blows, Western powers have largely discounted this enduring conflict. In the post-Cold War era however, with the West facing a startling resurgence of ethno-religious conflicts from the Balkans to Central Asia, this lingering intercultural feud has assumed new relevance. As NATO and the UN struggle to keep a series of regional instabilities from breaking out into even wider wars, they stumble for lack of a coherent strategy to fit a changed global environment. Rather than simply deploying troops to enforce Dayton Accord-style ethnic partitions, Western powers should seek to establish a more permanent peace by constructing exemplars of inter-ethnic and religious harmony. Greece and Turkey are uniquely prepared to become just such an exemplar. Specifically, by offering Turkey a path to EU membership, Europe has the means to begin a process that will ultimately transform these old adversaries into a powerful intercultural model for regional stability. On behalf of Western security interests and their own future prosperity and stability, the EU must seize this opportunity.

Title: The Future of Turkish-Western Relations: Toward a Strategic Plan
Personal Authors: Khalilzad, Zalmay; Lesser, Ian O.; Larrabee, F. S.
Report Date: 2000
Pages: 107 PAGES
Abstract: At the dawn of a new century, Turkish-Western relations have also entered a new era. Recent years have seen enormous changes within Turkish society. Turkish foreign policy horizons have expanded, and the country has developed a more active and sovereignty-conscious approach to nearby regions and relations with allies. Europe too has changed. With the Helsinki Summit decisions, the European Union (EU) has moved from a decidedly ambivalent stance to a more integrationist approach in its relations with Turkey. NATO-a key institutional link for Turkey in the West-is changing in ways that heighten Turkey's value to the Alliance. At the same time, the EU is developing foreign and defense policy initiatives in which Ankara's role remains uncertain. For the United States, Turkey's geopolitical importance is clear, but a predictable strategic relationship remains elusive, largely because Ankara and Washington have yet to develop a truly common agenda for relations in the post-Cold War world. Against this background, this report explores the changing parameters of Turkish-Western relations and offers an agenda for closer strategic cooperation in the U.S.-Turkish-European triangle.
