Download The Decisive Phase of Columbia's War on Narco-terrorism Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In early 2002, the final days of Colombian President Andres Pastrana's administration were marred by an unending internal war against right wing and leftist narco-terrorists and criminal cartels. During his administration, the narco-terrorists reached their zenith of power. The right-wing paramilitary groups, under the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) umbrella organization, were demanding legal status and greater political power. The two major leftist groups, the largest being the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) and the other the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional (ELN), threatened the capital and were able to operate in every region of Colombia. All of these groups were well armed due to their income from narco-dollars. In a desperate bid for peace, Pastrana ceded to the FARC a vast safe-haven, known as the Zona del Despeje, in exchange for participation in peace talks. Regardless, the FARC continued illicit trafficking and even engaged in terrorist acts while "talking peace." Pastrana's plan to make peace with the narco-terrorists was Plan Colombia, a 6-year strategy to overhaul almost every aspect of Colombian society. The plan was developed with considerable U.S. assistance and it focused on five critical areas: (1) curbing narco-trafficking, (2) reforming the justice system, (3) fostering democratization and social development, (4) stimulating economic growth, and (5) advancing the peace process. In January 2002, Pastrana's peace initiative failed after 3 years of peace talks with the FARC. Nevertheless, Plan Colombia served to commit the United States to assisting Colombia. On August 7, 2002, President Alvaro Uribe assumed office, promising an uncompromising hard-line towards the narco-terrorists. This paper describes Uribe's strategy to implement Plan Colombia with U.S. military assistance.

Identified as a member of the "axis of evil" by President George W. Bush, Saddam Hussein's Iraq continues to pose a major threat to the region and to Western society. Saddam has doggedly pursued the development of weapons of mass destruction, despite U.N. sanctions imposed at the conclusion of the Gulf crisis. To deal effectively with Saddam Hussein requires a clear understanding of his motivations, perceptions, and decision-making. To provide a framework for this complex political leader, a comprehensive political psychology profile has been developed, and his actions since the crisis analyzed in the context of this political psychology assessment

Download Modeling and Simulation for Analyzing Global Events Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
one-of-a-kind introduction to the theory and application of modeling and simulation techniques in the realm of international studies Modeling and Simulation for Analyzing Global Events provides an orientation to the theory and application of modeling and simulation techniques in social science disciplines. This book guides readers in developing quantitative and numeric representations of real-world events based on qualitative analysis. With an emphasis on gathering and mapping empirical data, the authors detail the steps needed for accurately analyzing global events and outline the selection and construction of the best model for understanding the event¿s data. Providing a theoretical foundation while also illustrating modern examples, the book contains three parts: Advancing Global Studies—introduces the what, when, and why of modeling and simulation and also explores its brief history, various uses, and some of the advantages and disadvantages of modeling and simulation in problem solving. In addition, the differences in qualitative and quantitative research methods, mapping data, and conducting model validation are also discussed. Modeling Paradigms—examines various methods of modeling including system dynamics, agent-based modeling, social network modeling, and game theory. This section also explores the theory and construction of these modeling paradigms, the fundamentals for their application, and various contexts for their use. Modeling Global Events—applies the modeling paradigms to four real-world events that are representative of several fundamental areas of social science studies: internal commotion within an anarchic state, a multi-layered study of the Solidarity movement in Poland, uni-lateral military intervention, and the issue of compellence and deterrence during a national security crisis. Modeling and Simulation for Analyzing Global Events is an excellent book for statistics, engineering, computer science, economics, and social sciences courses on modeling and simulation at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. It is also an insightful reference for professionals who would like to develop modeling and simulation skills for analyzing and communicating human behavior observed in real-world events and complex global case studies.

This report is one of several studies conducted by UNODC on organized crime threats around the world. These studies describe what is known about the mechanics of contraband trafficking - the what, who, how, and how much of illicit flows - and discuss their potential impact on governance and development. Their primary role is diagnostic, but they also explore the implications of these findings for policy. Publisher's note.
