Rubel, Robert C Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract All military operations are attended by various forms of risk. Risk permeates the fabric of war—from the actions of individual soldiers, sailors, and airmen to the policies, strategies, and decisions of national leaders. Decisions and actions have both potential and real consequences, and intelligent decision making normally involves a calculation of the odds for success and failure, as well as consideration of the consequences of potential failure. When success is less than a sure thing but through analysis of the salient aspects of the problem, including costs and consequences of failure, a commander decides to proceed nonetheless, we can say that he is taking a “calculated risk.

Maritime security and multilateral cooperation: a Japanese perspective / Nagao, Satoru   Article
Nagao, Satoru Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper focuses on multilateral naval cooperation. To understand the importance of multilateral naval cooperation, it is necessary to answer three questions: what kind of problems are we facing; what kind of cooperation mechanisms are effective to deal with these problems; and which one of them is the most important? Naval cooperation amongst friendly countries needs to primarily deal with imminent threats such as the arms race and power game in this region, non-state threats and concerns about the future. To effectively deal with these threats, countries have engaged in confidence-building mechanisms by sharing information regarding various events, and by building capacity to deal with emerging threats and uneasy situations. All of these methods elaborate the importance of multilateral cooperation, and the navies of countries should cooperate actively in this network to maximise outcomes. Hence, there is great potential in the multilateral framework of the “New Alliance” which is developing in the region.
