This book traces the events and developments that quickly discredited the Global War on Terror (GWOT), especially its failure to deal with the threat of global terrorism after the events of 11 September 2001. It examines the various strategies, including Global Counterinsurgency (GCOIN), which have been put forward as alternatives to the GWOT. While a consensus can be found on the key elements of a grand strategy, based on the mistakes and failures in the GWOT, it is far from clear if any GCOIN strategy could work. In fact, the US pursuit of a grand strategy is probably a chimera.
After 9/11, the U.S.-led global war on terrorism has intruded into an already complex security environment in the Malay archipelago, home to the world's largest population of Muslims, with the potential to catalyze or unleash further dynamics that could destabilize the region. This book argues that, given the existence of a discrete Malay archipelago security complex, with its security linkages and interactive dynamics, it is a fallacy for the United States to approach this region primarily through the prism of global counter-terrorism. Instead, any strategic policy towards the region needs to be founded upon a deep appreciation of the existing Malay archipelago security complex.
Changing national identities have transformed the China-Taiwan and Korean conflicts. Democratization in Taiwan and South Korea, and liberalization in China, have forced leaders to compete for popular legitimacy by appealing to national identities. Along with the collapse of the Soviet Union, these contested national identities have been the main factors driving change in the conflicts--pushing China and Taiwan inexorably apart and toward a showdown, while helping to prop up what appeared to be a mortally wounded North Korea. This explains why one U.S. ally, Taiwan, becomes more hawkish, while the other, South Korea, becomes more dovish. U.S. foreign policy is struggling to adjust.
This book provides guidelines that students and professionals can relate to, pointing to relevant cases and methods. ​At the MBA Level, students have proven interested and seek further exploration of the concepts learned through college and their personal experiences in the field. As organizations become more diverse, there is a need to discuss and reference updated academic research on all seven major OB topics: Individual differences, motivation, teams, decision making, communication and conflict, leadership, and organizational processes. The book incorporates the post-pandemic perspectives on each topic. Example topics include personal value changes (chapter 2), challenges in motivation (chapter 3), virtual teams (chapter 4), decision making behavior forces during pandemic (chapter 5), zoom communication fatigue (chapter 6), leading in time of crises (chapter 7), and organizational change (chapter 8). This MBA guidebook will help students navigate the rapidly changing work landscape by tapping into some of the fundamental aspects of human behavior, allowing them to approach diverse human interactions from a more personal perspective.
