Ebook: The Evolution of Strategic Thought: Classic Adelphi Papers

The Adelphi Papers monograph series is the International Institute for Strategic Studies' principal contribution to policy-relevant, original academic research. Collected on the occasion of the Institute's 50th anniversary, the twelve Adelphi Papers in this volume represent some of the finest examples of writing on strategic issues. They offer insights into the changing security landscape of the past half-century and glimpses of some of the most significant security events and trends of our times, from the Cold War nuclear arms race, through the oil crisis of 1973, to the contemporary challenge of asymmetric war in Iraq and Afghanistan.;The Evolution of Strategic Thought Classic Adelphi Papers -- Copyright -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1 The Evolution of NATO: Adelphi Paper 1, 1961 -- 2 Controlled Response and Strategic Warfare: Adelphi Paper 19, 1965 -- 3 The Control of Proliferation Three Views: Adelphi Paper 29, 1966 -- 4 Israel and the Arab World The Crisis of 1967: Adelphi Paper 41, 1967 -- 5 The Asian Balance of Power A Comparison with European Precedents: Adelphi Paper 44, 1968 -- 6 Change and Security in Europe Part II: In Search of a System: Adelphi Paper 49, 1968 -- 7 Urban Guerrilla Warfare: Adelphi Paper 79, 1971 -- 8 Oil and Influence The Oil Weapon Examined: Adelphi Paper 117, 1975 -- 9 The Spread of Nuclear Weapons More May Be Better: Adelphi Paper 171, 1981 -- 10 Intervention and Regional Security: Adelphi Paper 196, 1985 -- 11 Humanitarian Action in War Aid, Protection and Impartiality in a Policy Vacuum: Adelphi Paper 305, 1996 -- 12 The Transformation of Strategic Affairs: Adelphi Paper 379, 2006 -- Index.
