Project on National Security Reform - Vol. 2: Case Studies Working Group Report, by Dr. Richard Weitz. The case studies in this volume confirm that flawed responses recur in issue areas as diverse as biodefense, public diplomacy, and military intervention as well as across presidential administrations. The piecemeal national security organizational reforms enacted to date have not fostered improved policy outcomes or decisionmaking, while capability building, especially in the civilian national security agencies, remains less than optimal.
Delegitimizing Al-Qaeda: A Jihad-Realist Approach, by Dr. Paul Kamolnick. Preventing radicalization and recruitment to al-Qaeda's terrorism is vital to U.S. national security. This monograph suggests a distinct "jihad-realist" approach for partially accomplishing this elusive strategic objective.
