Sinopse

Naval Blockades offers a comprehensive exploration of naval blockades throughout history, examining their evolution from rudimentary sieges to sophisticated tools of geopolitics and naval warfare. The book argues that blockades are more than just military actions; they are complex policy instruments with wide-ranging economic, social, and political effects. Did you know that the effectiveness of a naval blockade depends as much on diplomatic skill and the target nation's economic strength as it does on naval power? The book progresses chronologically, beginning with the historical origins of naval blockades and moving through key legal frameworks such as the Declaration of Paris. Case studies, including the Continental System and the blockades of both World Wars, highlight their strategic effectiveness and humanitarian consequences. By examining these historical events, the book provides a nuanced understanding of how naval blockades have shaped international trade, diplomatic relations, and international law. This book distinguishes itself by adopting a holistic approach, integrating military history with international law, economics, and political science. This approach provides a broader understanding than studies focusing solely on military tactics. The book concludes by assessing the role of naval blockades in modern international relations, considering the impact of globalization and technological advancements, making it valuable for policymakers and those interested in maritime strategy.

    “Whatever It Is I’m Against It”...

    In "Whatever It Is, I'm Against It," president emeritus of Macalester College Brian Rosenberg draws on decades of higher education experience to expose the entrenched structures, practices, and cultures that inhibit meaningful postsecondary reform, even as institutions face serious challenges to their financial and educational models. The book pinpoints factors that hinder the ability of United States colleges and universities to be creative and entrepreneurial amid calls to improve affordability, access, and equity for students. 
     
     
     
    Rosenberg illustrates internal and external dynamics that impede institutional evolution. Pressures such as declining enrollment, escalating costs, and an oversupply of PhDs in academia have long signaled a grave need for reform within a profession that lacks organizational flexibility, depends greatly on reputation and ranking, and retains traditions, from the academic calendar to grading systems, that have remained essentially the same for decades. 
     
     
     
    Rosenberg looks outside the United States system to find possible antidotes in innovative higher education models such as student-centered and experiential learning approaches. This thought-provoking work offers ample evidence for presidents, chancellors, deans, provosts, and faculty to consider as they plan to achieve institutional transformation.

    What Did You Plant? What Did You Harvest?How Will We Pass the Knowledge On to Our Children?What Does It Mean to the World That I Am Here?In this slim volume of spiritual introspection, they ask us to share in their practice, posing nine questions that focus our minds and hearts on who we are, who we can become.

    Why, after over 100 Sigma war games showed us that we could not win, did we still go into Vietnam? Why, if one military doctrine irrefutably indicates that it can succeed time after time, is it not adopted in every military action? Why do warriors hate war? Because their bosses don't understand it. What's the mission? How do we win? What is winning? Bush said that winning was when the major combat operations were ceasing. Maybe so, but knowing how to win a war while striving not to be in one makes a real warrior. Warriors Hate War-Strategy, politicization, successes, and failures of the American military by Glenn Sturm explores the military actions since WW11 through lenses that reveal alternate outcomes and pose frameworks that could inform decision-making for the future of war and, more importantly, peace.
