Pathological Counterinsurgency
Pathological Counterinsurgency critically examines the relationship between elections and counterinsurgency success in third party campaigns supported by the United States. From Vietnam to El Salvador to Iraq and Afghanistan, many policymakers and academics believed that democratization would drive increased legitimacy and improved performance in governments waging a counterinsurgency campaign. Elections were expected to help overcome existing deficiencies, thus allowing governments supported by the United States to win the “hearts and minds” of its populace, undermining the appeal of insurgency. However, in each of these cases, campaigning in and winning elections did not increase the l...

Il Geopolitico n. 1
La geopolitica, come disciplina, si è venuta qualificando in questo scorcio di secolo per la sua propensione ad inserirsi nel dibattito contemporaneo sui mutamenti strutturali e geografici degli Stati e sulle loro politiche, sull’allargamento dei confini mondiali, sulla globalizzazione, sull’ambiente e sull’economia del capitalismo finanziario.

Questa disciplina, che ...
