Summary/Abstract |
Since 9/11, the United States has waged a new brand of financial war against rogue regimes, terrorist groups, and criminal syndicates. By leveraging American global economic predominance, the US has isolated such actors from the financial system. The domain of financial warfare, however, is now no longer the sole province of the US and presents challenges from enemies and competitors.

Summary/Abstract |
While the phenomenon described in this article may appear to be an African problem, the Western world`s increasing involvement in fighting terrorists make it one that America`s military forces might encounter. Unfortunately, it could add a significant layer of complexity to US operation as American troops attempt to differentiate allies from enemies. In Africa, sometimes they are one and the same.

Chinese policies may undermine or discourage US efforts to create better governance and improved standard of living In Africa, but these effects are incidental and do not threaten vital American interests. The United States should encourage Beijing's participation in international economic institution, and thereby facilitate US economic strength and promote African development.

Summary/Abstract |
The law of armed conflict has often been described as outdated and ill suited to military conflict in the twenty-first century. Both academics and practitioners have argued that today`s wars tend to be asymmetric conflict between states and nonstate actors, whereas the law of armed conflict was made with a view to symmetrical interstates war. This article challenges that notion.

Summary/Abstract |
For all attention paid to partnering too little goes into what “partnering” might mean from ostensible partners' point of view. In the 21st century, sensitivities and sensibilities matter. So do economic realities. The US military should make better strategic use of military Adviser to help foreign security services professionalize- something the United States can only do if foreign militaries are willing to engage in civic action themselves.

Summary/Abstract |
The international system of nation-states is evolving into something more complex and indeterminate. One important development has been the creation of regional communities. If these are to thrive in their own distinctive way, national governments, including the United States, will need to support creative policies that harmonize interests, not only within such communities but also among them. Policy planners, therefore, must think globally and regionally.

Summary/Abstract |
Recent debate about the organizational relationship between cyber command and the NSA stress political issues over force employment. This article focuses on the latter, making the case that cyber command should be split from the NSA, because nations that marshal and molilize their cyber power and integrate it into strategy and doctrine will ensure significant national security advantage. Cyber command provides the best route for developing the tactics, technique, and procedures necessary for achieving these goals.

Summary/Abstract |
The Quadrennial Defence Review (QDR) will have been completed as of this writing, but will not yet have been published. Facing new strategic priorities and mounting fiscal pressures, it is anticipated that the capacity or size of American landpower will be substantially reduced: the Army`s strength could be decremented to a post world war II low of just 420,000 to 450,000 soldiers. This article considers the implication of such reductions.
