Afghanistan: withdrawal lessons
/ Devine, Jack; Kassel, Whitney
Devine, Jack
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2013.
Summary/Abstract
The withdrawal of NATO forces from Afghanistan in 2014 is likely to be followed by a civil war between a predominantly non-Pashtun security apparatus and Pakistan-backed Taliban forces. As we confront this reality, we would be wise to look closely at the experience of the Soviet Union following its occupation of Afghanistan in the late 1980s. The prime lessons from that ill-fated moment are the need to provide continued economic and military support to the leadership in Kabul and to obtain the support of Pakistan, while maintaining sufficient intelligence and covert action infrastructure on both sides of the frontier the two countries share. A sustainable relationship with Pakistan is critical today because of the country's important role in any political solution in Afghanistan and the significant risks to the international community posed by Pakistan's own instability.

Terrorism and the international anarchist movement of the late
/ Kassel, Whitney
Kassel, Whitney
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication
2009.
Summary/Abstract
The international anarchist movement that developed in Europe and the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries inspired a series of assassinations and attempted assassinations of prominent world leaders. This movement was unique in the disconnection between its core theorists-many of whom either disapproved or had nuanced views of the use of violence-and the social outliers driven by psychological distress and poverty who often committed the terrorist acts. In this respect, the anarchist movement resembles some modern day terrorist movements and can offer suggestions as to their nature and likelihood of success.
