American dependence on oil sends hundreds of billions of dollars
overseas every year, forces the U.S. to put its troops in harm's
way, and undermines American diplomatic efforts. As the United
States experiences rapidly increasing oil and commodities prices,
coupled with sluggish economic growth, it is critical that American
policymakers address this challenge in a thoughtful and systematic
manner. From Energy Crisis to Energy Security provides a framework
for doing so. In this volume, scientific, security, and industry
experts have prepared in-depth chapters on the problems we
confront, the technologies at our disposal, and policy and
paradigmatic approaches to this critical problem. With a foreword
by R. James Woolsey, contributors include Robert McFarlane, Robert
Zubrin, Bruce Dale, Roger S. Ballentine, Laura Chasen, George
Philippidis, Kenneth J. Nemeth, and Rick Tolman.
What is the optimal strategy for the United States and its allies
to pursue in Afghanistan? Observers across the political spectrum
agree that military operations alone are not enough to secure
Afghanistan against a powerful insurgency linked to global
jihadism. There is increasing consensus as well that Pakistan - a
refuge for important al-Qaeda figures, and also under attack by
insurgents who identify themselves as Taliban - is deeply involved
in this conflict. The Afghanistan-Pakistan Theater: Militant Islam,
Security and Stability explores vital aspects of the situation the
U.S. confronts in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. This collection
represents a diversity of political perspectives and policy
prescriptions. Nobody believes that the way forward will be easy;
there is a pressing need for clear thinking and informed decisions.
Contributors include Hassan Abbas, C. Christine Fair, Vanda
Felbab-Brown, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, Vanessa Gezari, Sebastian
Gorka, Shuja Nawaz, and Joshua T. White.
