Security assistance and security cooperation are interrelated
missions that rely on military staffs in U.S. embassies in partner
countries. In countries threatened by insecurity or instability,
actions may be required that are not easily accomplished under
current systems. This report examines three options for improving
current approaches to security assistance and cooperation. They
range from changes in current practices to options requiring new
policies, procedures, organizations, or authorities.
The challenges of nation-building and of dealing with the societal
and political aftermaths of conflicts have consumed tremendous
international energy during the past decades. "Women and
Nation-Building" tackles the exceedingly complex task of assessing
the multilayered development of women's diverse roles in the
post-conflict context. The author examines the role of women in the
recent reconstruction activities in Afghanistan, while evaluating
the effect of societal circumstances and nation-building processes
on the status of female populations in post-conflict regions. Does
women's part make a difference to the post-conflict trajectories of
very volatile societies? "Women and Nation-Building" presents
compelling findings for policymakers, practitioners, and scholars
concerned with both the academic and pragmatic implementation of a
more engendered approach to nation-building.The book concludes that
the steps necessary to strengthen nation-building activities
include an emphasis on human security, establishing governance
based on the principles of equity and the rule of law, and women's
early economic inclusion in reconstruction activities. Societies on
a path toward equity and the rule of law are more peaceful and more
prosperous, and the status of women is not merely a litmus test but
an active agent in bringing about such an outcome.
This report presents a framework for assessing U.S. Army
International Activities (AIA). It also provides a matrix of eight
AIA "ends," derived from top-level national and Army guidance, and
eight AIA "ways," which summarize the various capabilities inherent
in AIA programs. In addition, the report describes the new online
AIA Knowledge Sharing System (AIAKSS) that is being used to solicit
programmatic and assessment data from AIA officials in the Army's
Major Commands.
