Ideas for America's Future

Jeffrey P. Bialos

The next U.S. president will need to adopt a national security strategy for the post-Iraq era that reflects our core values, can earn the trust of the American people and coalition partners, and can protect the country. This book sets forth some of the core elements of a new American strategy. The book discusses how to shape our security policies for dealing with rising power China, emerging power India, and declining power Russia. It addresses how to maintain American openness to foreign ideas, people and capital, and how to win hearts and minds in the struggle against radical Jihadism. It also looks at how to refocus our military and civilian national security capabilities to address the low intensity missions we are likely to face—from insurgency to stabilization and reconstruction to tsunamis.

Fortresses & Icebergs, Volumes 1 and 2

Jeffrey P. Bialos

Commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense, this book uses disciplined diagnostic methodologies to assess the openness and accessibility of European and U.S. defense markets. The authors also evaluate the evolving European institutions, laws, policies, practices, and arrangements that impact the defense industry. They also propose recommendations for the future.As the book discusses, a more open and competitive transatlantic defense market can potentially facilitate greater force interoperability and capability acquisition in an era where coalition warfare is the norm. A more competitive market would also encourage greater competition, and the affordability and innovation it brings, in a time of global defense industrial consolidation.

Humanitarian Assistance

Julia Steets

How can the United States and Europe improve the effectiveness and impact of their humanitarian assistance efforts? A team of scholars and practitioners led by the Global Public Policy Institute and the Center for Transatlantic Relations at Johns Hopkins University conducted field-based empirical research and engaged policymakers to improve U.S.-European cooperation in four key areas of humanitarian assistance: linking relief, rehabilitation, and development; applying best practices and lessons learned; improving business engagement in emergency relief and preparedness; and considering civil-military relations in disaster response.The authors provide an in-depth analysis of the current state of the humanitarian policy debate and the relevant institutional setup in the EU and the U.S. They compare doctrines, programming principles, and geographical and sectoral priorities and propose areas where these principles and priorities can be made coherent. They also offer specific recommendations for greater transatlantic coherence and effectiveness.Contents includePart One: Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development Case Studies Southern Sudan North Kivu Afghanistan ChadPart Two: Approaches to Implementing Lessons Learned in Humanitarian Assistance Case Studies Gender in Nepal Gender in Darfur Strengthening Local Capacity in Nicaragua Strengthening Local Capacity in the Occupied Palestinian TerritoriesPart Three: Business Engagement in Emergency Relief and Preparedness Case Studies Humanitarian Firms Insuring Against Disasters Humanitarian Assistance and Corporate Social Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility in Emergency PreparednessPart Four: Civil-Military Relations in Disaster Response Case Studies Civil-Military Relations in Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo The Next Emergency in Kosovo Response to the 2004 Tsunami
