| Summary/Abstract |
Taiwan's purchase of weaponry from the United States has been an intriguing question to scholars and practitioners in Taiwan as well as the United States. To date, despite the growing threat put forth by mainland China's military strength, the question of why Taiwan is somehow short of actions as revealed in its delay in defense procurement is still under contestation. This paper employs the neoclassical realist approach to explain why there seems to be a gap in practice between the U.S. "goodwill" to sell and Taiwan's seemingly delayed response under the Chen administration. In addition, the author further investigates Taiwan's considerations under the Ma administration. The author argues that this gap can be attributed to the thinking of political elites in Taiwan, such as their perceptions of China's resolve and capabilities to unify Taiwan and of U.S. determination to protect Taiwan, their political considerations that aim to prevent the rivals from gaining domestic and international support, and their views about the most cost-effective ways to allocate national financial resources. With the review of relevant debates in Taiwan between 2000 and 2012, the preliminary findings of this paper indicate that political elites have become more pragmatic in terms of perceptions of mainland China and of the U.S., and yet partisanship and resource allocation seem to dominate, if not determine, their views on U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

| Summary/Abstract |
Through a progressive strengthening of organizational, legal, and personnel attributes, Argentina's Ministry of Defense has become civilianized. The MOD has been strengthened by the addition of new bureaucratic units headed by civilians with the authority to shape and conduct defense policy while also encouraging interactions with military personnel, resulting in better informed policy choices. This article will account for these changes through a detailed analysis of foreign affairs, strategic planning and promotions, production and research, and education. Procedural rules, divisions of labor and civil-military interactions are delineated. Military modernization deficiencies and the need for a permanent civilian staff are noted.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper describes recent research on cost indexes by the Institute for Defense Analyses. It was performed at the request of the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation directorate in the Office of the Secretary of Defense to assist in meeting the requirement in the 2009 Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act to assess and update the cost deflators the Defense Department uses to adjust for price growth in costing and budgeting major systems. The paper’s focus is on aircraft procurement. The research analyzes deflator algorithms and data to determine the source of the wide differences in aircraft cost growth rates calculated by (a) the Gross Domestic Product deflator for the entire US market basket of goods and services, (b) the national defense index for military aircraft published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and (c) the Producer Price Index for civilian aircraft published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The study demonstrates an alternative hedonic approach for calculating price indexes by using regression analysis to relate aircraft investment cost to the aircraft’s specific physical and operational design features such as weight and speed.

| Summary/Abstract |
No relationship is more important to the future of Asia than the one between Japan and China. PM Abe’s visit to Beijing last month put the relationship back on a firmer footing. Yet diplomacy alone will not stabilize Sino-Japanese relations. Popular attitudes in both countries also matter, and will be shaped by the success or failure of leaders to manage the growing complexity of this relationship from food security to fisheries management to national defense and new solutions to China’s growing influence over the daily lives of Japanese. Across Asia too, Japan and China will need to coexist without impeding each other’s influence. Next year’s visit to Japan by President Xi offers ample opportunity for expanding the foundation of this latest round of diplomatic “fresh starts” in the Japan-China relationship. Uncertainty over the US role in Asia, however, has made this a more difficult task.

| Summary/Abstract |
This paper is devoted to the political, legal, and state development of the People's Republic of China from 2018 to early 2023. Based on reports presented at the first session of the 14th National People's Congress (March 2023), we examine the main performance indicators of the State Council, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate. We also analyze the personnel lineup of the 14th National People's Congress. This paper presents the main resolutions passed by the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee from 2018 to 2023 in the constitutional, criminal, civil, and administrative fields. The authors predict the development of the PRC's legal system in the near future. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has passed several important laws, including the Law on Countering Foreign Sanctions and amendments to the current Criminal Code that lower the age of criminal responsibility to 12 years. The law-enforcement and judicial systems have demonstrated a high degree of effectiveness in combating conventional crime. Overall, amid the volatile international situation and rising tensions in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, the Chinese leadership has focused on improving the combat readiness of the armed forces, strengthening national defense, and ensuring national security, including through the adoption of appropriate legal acts.

| Summary/Abstract |
At its best, grand strategy is not fundamentally about the military application of force, but rather an appreciation of its potential, along with the other instruments of power, in the mind of the adversary. Effective grand strategy may often preclude the need to resort to force. To achieve this, a society's involvement in its own national defense, a strong, stable and globally networked economy, an effective domestic politics that can make rational decisions over time in support of national security, and the promotion of values that invite support and consensus at home and abroad.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the past decade of war, the US Army has employed its forces in roles they were not intended to fulfill. The Army could have been better prepared if it had fielded a better mixture of forces. Instead of focusing on specific threats that narrowly specify which conflicts the Army will best be prepared for, the Army should maintain a broad range of capabilities that can meet a variety of circumstances. Accordingly, the Army should seek a force structure that exhibits a 3:1:1 ratio of Infantry, Armor, and Stryker brigade combat teams (BCTs) based on the possible range of conditions that US forces could face.
