Iraq: The Weapons Inspection Conundrum
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-04) Boureston, Jack; Russell, James A.; Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC)
The Bush Administration appears set for a showdown with Iraq. And, as was the case with the Clinton Administration's Iraq policy over the last eight years, the United Nations-imposed disarmament regime will likely be the centerpiece of a future crisis. The emerging "Bush Doctrine," which commits the country to combating terrorist groups and countries that support terrorism, also incorporates the idea that "rogue" nations should not be allowed to develop weapons of mass destruction that could potentially threaten the United States and its allies. While President Bush's State of the Union address identified the "axis of evil" -- Iran, Iraq and North Korea -- as particularly troubling countries needing attention under this doctrine, it seems clear that Iraq with its unmonitored WMD programs is the prime target.
Strategic Insight: Preventive War against Iraq
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2002-11-04) Russell, James A.; Wirtz, James J.; Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC); National Security Affairs (NSA)
With the clouds of war gathering over Iraq, several long standing guides to U.S. defense policy, especially about when to go to war, have become the first casualties in the effort to end the threat posed by the regime in Baghdad. For nearly sixty years, U.S. officials have relied on the concept of deterrence as the cornerstone of U.S. defense policy. The nation went to war when it had either been attacked (Pearl Harbor) or when its "vital interests" were at stake (Korea, the Gulf War).

India in 2006 A New Emphasis on Engagement
(University of California Press, 2007-01) Lavoy, Peter R.; Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC)
India took important steps in 2006 to develop its economy and improve its standing abroad. Strengthening its strategic partnership with the United States, while at the same time maintaining positive relations with China, was a particularly important achievement. Increased attention to energy security has driven India to reach out to countries well beyond its borders. For the first time in India’s history, New Delhi appears comfortable using the military and diplomatic tools that great powers have used throughout history.
U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue, Conference Report / Honolulu, Hawaii
(Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2005-08) Twomey, Christopher P.; Lavoy, Peter R.; Stone, Elizabeth L.; Center on Contemporary Conflict (CCC)
The U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue brought together Chinese and U.S. strategic experts in their personal capacities to discuss the role of nuclear weapons in Sino-American relations with the aim of minimizing mutual misunderstanding and identifying practical steps for bilateral cooperation. The conference was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, in collaboration with Pacific Forum of the Center for Strategic and International Studies and with support from the Advanced Systems and Concepts Office of Defense Threat Reduction Agency, U.S. Department of Defense. The American participants were primarily academics, although several had experience in international security issues while working for the U.S. government. The Chinese participants were a mix of academics, think tank analysts, and military officers. (Please see the complete list of participants at the end of this report.) The conference was held under the explicit understanding that all participants were speaking unofficially, as observers of their government’s policy, not representatives of it.
