United Nations Security Council Permanent Member Perspectives (eBook, PDF)

Implications for U.S. and Global Intelligence Professionals

Beschreibung

Threats to peace and stability are real and will likely continue into the foreseeable future. Likewise, globalization and its proliferation has made it increasingly difficult in knowing whether one is a friend or foe. This is particularly true when turning to the relationship of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC); the relationships are not as clear as was the case two decades ago. Intelligence professionals the world over would be remiss in their assessments if they fail to take into account the position of each in the context of contemporary issues. Countries can be aligned on one issue and yet diametrically opposed on others. This research looks to enhance what Ernest Boyer refers to as scholarship of integration and uses the Federal Qualitative Secondary Data Case Study Triangulation Model and a variation of a model referred to as the York Intelligence Red Team Model-Modified (YIRTM-M) to conduct the analysis. More pointedly, this book looks at issues from the U.S. perspective to see how the YIRTM-M can be applied to advance its own interests on the world stage and to better understand when each can be seen as a friend or foe.

Rezensionen

"Dr. Weaver's provocative book on the U.N Security Council is written with the precision and expertise of an intelligence professional and military officer. It offers insights into the seismic shifts taking place on the world stage including potential implications for global alliances and diplomatic relations. It is a must read for graduate students in public administration, political science, and international studies." -Lorenda Naylor, Schaefer Center Faculty Fellow, University of Baltimore "An excellent, concise primer on the differing national security perspectives of the various permanent members of the UN Security Council. Dr. Weaver applies proven methodology to establish a guideline for how US policy makers should consider and apply Intelligence and Information as a key instrument of National Power." -Stephen Cheng, COL, USA (Ret).
