Bakshi, GD Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This paper broadly deals with two important aspects. First, it analyses various security challenges that India is facing at present; and second, it examines the need for restructuring the Indian Armed Forces to address these security challenges. It explains that India is in a two front situation with China to the north and Pakistan to the west. Left Wing Extremism and jihadi terror form a half or a third front. The core of any Indian grand strategy must focus on dealing with these threats sequentially and never simultaneously. India will have to rely upon its own resources to safeguard its vital national interests. In the years ahead it will increasingly be called upon to respond to ever greater challenges from within its geo-political environment. It concludes by stating that great civilisations arise only in response to such challenges.

targeted partnership” and beyond : an additional theoretical layer / Michael, Kobi   Journal Article
Michael, Kobi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Jihadist terror is a multidimensional challenge that compels unique difficulties on compatibility between the military campaign and the political goal. Compatibility between military campaigns and political goal requires a deeper understanding about the Jihadi terrorism phenomenon that could be achieved by a strategic and diagnostic learning process. Such learning requires certain characteristics, which enable the creation of open discourse. This article introduced definitions of closed and open discourse, characterized the required conditions for creating open discourse, and explained the linkage between strategic learning and open discourse. This article aims to add another theoretical layer to Rebecca Schiff’s “targeted partnership” concept by elaborating on the essence of the encounter and discourse between the political and the military echelons in the context of terrorism in the Middle East, using examples from the American and Israeli experience. The concepts of “Discourse Space” and “Diagnostic Learning” are corresponding with Schiff’s concept and accomplish it.
