Budgets and strategy: the enduring legacy of the revolt of the admirals / Toprani, Anand   Journal Article
Toprani, Anand Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract ANAND TOPRANI discusses the origins and significance of the 1949 “Revolt of the Admirals.” He argues that the unification of the U.S. military services and subsequent defense budget cuts made this rivalry among the military services intense. He concludes that inter-service rivalry was mitigated only by increases in defense spending and by civilian leaders allowing the services to determine how to allocate resources.

Enduring legacy of the second Saudi state: quietist and radical Wahhabi contestations of Al-Wala Wa-L- Bara / Wagemakers, Joas   Journal Article
Wagemakers, Joas Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The concept of al-wala? wa-l-bara? (loyalty to Islam, Muslims, and God and disavowal of everything else) has developed in various ways in Wahhabi discourse since the 19th century. This can partly be ascribed to the civil war that caused the collapse of the second Saudi state (1824-91) and the lessons that both quietist and radical Wahhabi scholars have drawn from that episode. In this article, I contend that Wahhabi contestations of al-wala? wa-l-bara? can be divided into two distinct trends-one social and the other political-and that both show the enduring legacy of the second Saudi state, which can still be discerned in Wahhabi scholarly writings on the subject of al-wala? wa-l-bara? today.

KGB and its enduring legacy / Bateman, Aaron   Journal Article
Bateman, Aaron Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The creation of the Federal’naia Sluzhba Bezopasnosti in 1995 represented the eighth time that the Russian secret police underwent an organizational transformation since the contemporary service was created in the form of the Cheka in 1917. The post-Soviet Russian security services have been shaped by the early Soviet secret police’s identity as a domestic security service protecting the Bolshevik Party. After the USSR collapsed, the KGB did not die; its power increased to a level not seen since the Andropov era. The FSB is the most direct successor to the KGB’s domestic apparatus and functions as both an intelligence agency and the extrajudicial political police of the Russian Government. The FSB has become the dominant security institution in Russia, which is emblematic of the Russian state’s continuing and historical obsession with domestic security and the use of extrajudicial force to maintain political stability.
