| Summary/Abstract |
The current approach to countering the threat of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan has met with limited success. The relative lack of success may be in part because the current approach is not holistic and discounts the social systems that foster the IEDs. Insurgents are using IEDs as a tool to further their strategic aims, but the coalition and to a lesser extent the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) are attacking the IEDs as if they are an end in and of themselves. Combining network disruption with information change maximizes the opportunities for mitigating the IED threat. More specifically, to mitigate the IED threat requires disrupting the social and economic systems associated with IEDs, and at the same time providing alternative economic opportunities and improving rule of law and governance at the local level. In other words, counter-IED (C-IED) must be Counter-Insurgency (COIN) centric to be successful. This paper reviews the current state of C-IED efforts, identifies five main problems with the current approach, and suggests changes to reduce or mitigate the IED threat in Afghanistan.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the concept of "national interest," from its common use in policy circles to the network of subordinate and superordinate interests in which a state is situated. When analyzing the interest of a social system, like a state, it is important to take into account the level of governance and the interests of the individuals and subsystems upon which the system depends, and consider the value of serving other members in federations, alliances, and blocs even at sacri?ce to itself. A systems approach to politics enables tl1e international relations professional to transcend the problems often encountered by the subjective use of raw power for perceived national interests that fail to accurately anticipate unintended consequences.
