As I haven’t posted here in a long while, I thought I would share my response to a professor’s encouragement to try to describe what is happening today in the world and what may follow. I know at least one person who enjoyed it (http://erzaaruqaj.com/) As I am amidst a transformation from national security analyst […]

A common source of reference is emerging in my study of multi-paradigm conflict analysis: Lederach and Dugan. In Tom Woodhouse and Oliver Ramsbotham’s, Peacekeeping and Conflict Resolution, the chapter on “Theoretical Frameworks” discusses an integrated model for peace building based off of John Paul Lederach research.

Continuing to pull on the thread of “Multi-Paradigmatic Conflict Analysis” I have found a conference paper by Cathryn Thurston that begins to frame the problem.

by Chris Williams (Thinking Like a Cheetah) Life is complicated enough, why should we involve emotions and impulses. If we approach life like a math problem then we can rest easy and avoid buyer’s remorse and a litany of other feelings we associate with decisions. For instance, if I eat a Double Chocolate Dunkin Donut and […]

This post is a reblog of a wordpress page that I recently began following here at Rrugezbulues: The Offshore Balancer. Despite being written for a British audience, I believe it is fairly applicable to the ongoing debate within the American military to reorient our regional forces to be global focused. The Tyranny of Distance We live in a […]
