The Limits of Russian Manipulation
Russia’s manipulation of Ukraine, which culminated in the 2022 invasion, demonstrated that Russia was willing to resort to all means necessary to secure a regional sphere of influence that included Ukraine. But events could have taken a different direction. Using the concept of national identity as a starting point, RAND researchers developed a framework to illuminate the underlying causes of the Russia-Ukraine war.
Weapons in Space
A new and provocative take on the formerly classified history of accelerating superpower military competition in space in the late Cold War and beyond. In March 1983, President Ronald Reagan shocked the world when he established the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), derisively known as “Star Wars,” a space-based missile defense program that aimed to protect the US from nuclear attack. In Weapons in Space, Aaron Bateman draws from recently declassified American, European, and Soviet documents to give an insightful account of SDI, situating it within a new phase in the militarization of space after the superpower détente fell apart in the 1970s. In doing so, Bateman reveals the largely ...
Poder, Tecnologia e Direito!
O "Poder", por milênios, tem sido objeto de desejo para povos, reinos, governos e Estados. Neste caminho, o conflito armado figura como produto e consequência sinistra da ganância e da insensatez humana. A destruição física, com a utilização de armas de guerra, sempre foi a principal característica dessa dinâmica abjeta. Mas o Direito, hodiernamente, tem tentado limitar o instinto humano voltado para a destruição. Entretanto, a era da informação trouxe um novo tipo de "Força" que tem se demonstrado eficaz, principalmente para ser utilizada em ações disfarçadas e sub-reptícias. A reunião da letalidade de um meio de guerra, destrutivo e versátil, com as possibilidades téc...
Transatlantic Policy Quarterly (TPQ) - Winter 2023/24 · Vol. 22 · No. 4
Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, or the BRICS nations, are living proof of how power and influence are constantly changing in the world's politics and economy. Redefining their positions within the global system and laying the groundwork for a multilateral world order that aims to challenge the traditional dominance of Western economies and institutions, the BRICS countries have been active since the acronym was coined in the early 21st century and expanded to include South Africa in 2010. Iran, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Argentina, Bolivia, Indonesia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Cuba, Gabon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Comoros, and Kazakhstan are among the more than 40 nations that have s...

Sovyetler Birliği’nin dağılmasından sonra eski Sovyet devletleri üzerindeki hegemonyasını sürdürme siyaseti güden Rusya Şubat 2022’ye gelindiğinde “kardeş ülke” olarak adlandırdığı Ukrayna’ya yönelik işgal girişiminde bulunmuştur. Rusya’nın kısa sürede Ukrayna yönetimini devirerek kendine bağlı bir hükümeti göreve taşıma hedefiyle kalkıştığı bu harekat umulmadık şekilde büyük bir direnişle karşılaşmıştır.

Cooperation and Dependence in Belarus-Russia Relations
The authors examine areas of convergence and divergence in the Belarus-Russia relationship, particularly regarding foreign and domestic policies, military and security cooperation, and economic and defense industrial ties. They also consider the regional perspectives of Belarus’s neighbors—Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine—and how the Belarus-Russia relationship poses an evolving threat to those countries’ security.
Defence Planning for Small and Middle Powers
This book examines the processes, practices and principles of defence planning in small and middle powers. Small and middle powers are recalibrating their force postures in this age of disruption. They are adapting their defence planning and military innovation processes to protect the security of their nations. The purpose of this book is to explore defence planning and military innovation in 11 contemporary case studies of small and middle powers in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania. Employing a structured focused comparison framework, it traces patterns in the choices of small and middle powers across the following themes: (1) alliances, dependencies and national am...

The cover story highlights research on improving the police response to homelessness; a second feature focuses on the millions of caregivers who provide support services to chronically ill loved ones but are not integrated into health care teams.
Ukrainian Resistance to Russian Disinformation
Russia has disseminated large volumes of false content targeted at Ukrainians, those living in Russia, and global audiences, including those in the United States and Europe. Both Russia's attempts to sow false narratives and the Ukrainian response during the war provide a unique laboratory for considering how nations can counter disinformation and propaganda during conflict. In this report, the authors seek to distill some of those lessons. They offer a broad case study of Ukraine's information and counter disinformation war and highlight key lessons that can help the U.S. national security establishment prepare for and counter disinformation during U.S. contingency operations.
The Limits of Russian Manipulation
