"American Neoconservatism moves beyond recent debates over the intricacies of the Bush administration's foreign policy to offer a deeper look at the philosophical premises of this 'new' conservatism in light of the historical events and changing social compacts that have created a demand for it over the past decades. It surveys neoconservative discourses on democracy, the liberal state, capitalism, national security, international law and global liberal governance, and draws attention to the systematic links between the domestic and international dimensions of neoconservative political sociology. Taking issue with neoconservatism's self-image, Drolet argues and demonstrates that American neoconservatism is not the centrist 'liberal' conservatism that it pretends to be--and that many analysts have diagnosed in recent years. To the extent that neoconservatism is committed to the Enlightenment discourse of liberalism, these commitments are firmly subordinated to an authoritarian form of cultural and philosophical conservatism, which is in fact ferociously predatory on liberal values and practices. Neoconservatism is not a conservative variant of liberalism but a deeply atavistic reaction to liberal modernity. It owes a lot more to the authoritarian intellectual milieu of interwar Europe than to the liberal tradition that its protagonists allegedly want to reform and protect against its enemies"--

The authors argue that the United States is entering a period of discontinuity in its defense planning, something that future historians may see as a planning crisis. The causes are technology diffusion that is leveling aspects of the playing field militarily, geostrategic changes, and the range of potential adversaries. The authors see these as leading to (1) increasingly difficult force projection in some important circumstances; (2) a related block obsolescence of U.S. forces and concepts of operations; (3) the need for a new grand strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, where China is now a major regional power; and (4) the United States having to deal with a demanding mix of "complex operations" (e.g., counterinsurgency and stabilization) and traditional challenges. Obstacles exist to taking on these challenges. These include severe economic issues and the absence of consensus on the nature of next-generation forces and posturing. The paper presents three illustrative models for future concepts of operations, but all are very challenging. They and others will need to be explored with considerable innovation and experimentation. Finally, the papers argue for a comprehensive rebalancing of national security strategy, not just a rebalancing of military capabilities

Books on Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss abound, as countless scholars havelabored to uncover the facts behind Chambers's shocking accusation before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the summer of 1948—that Alger Hiss, a former rising star in the State Department, had been a Communist and engaged in espionage.In this highly original work,Susan Jacoby turns her attention to the Hiss case, including his trial and imprisonment for perjury, as a mirror of shifting American political views and passions. Unfettered by political ax-grinding, the author examines conflicting responses, from scholars and the media on both the left and the right, and the ways in which they have changed from 1948 to our present post–Cold War era. With a brisk, engaging style, Jacoby positions the case in the politics of the post–World War II eraand then explores the ways in which generations of liberals and conservatives have put Chambers and Hiss to their own ideological uses. An iconic event of the McCarthy era, the case of Alger Hiss fascinates political intellectuals not only because of its historical significance but because of its timeless relevance to equally fierce debates today about the difficult balance between national security and respect for civil liberties

"Whether you agree or disagree with preventive detention as a tactic in the war against terrorism, you will find this book compelling and informative. If preventive detention is to be employed it must surely be done within the law and subject to open accountability. The criteria must be clear and the procedures must assure fairness. This book sets out a balanced and moderate proposal that is worthy of serious consideration." - Prof. Alan M. Dershowitz, Harvard University and author of Preemption: A Knife That Cuts Both Ways "Stephanie Blum has written a thoughtful, well documented, and responsible analysis of the legal and policy issues bearing on the sensitive subject of preventive detention of terrorist suspects. The book will not command universal assent, but is an excellent contribution to the public debate over an issue of transcendent importance to national security and civil liberties." - Judge Richard Posner, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit "Terrific! We need a system that can better help us mitigate threats, and a strong and reasoned legal basis to deal with terror suspects. Stephanie Blum gives us a great start."- Colonel (Retired) Britt Mallow, former Commander, DoD Criminal Investigation Task Force

What is the relationship between fear, danger, and the law? Cass Sunstein attacks the increasingly influential Precautionary Principle - the idea that regulators should take steps to protect against potential harms, even if causal chains are uncertain and even if we do not know that harms are likely to come to fruition. Focusing on such problems as global warming, terrorism, DDT, and genetic engineering, Professor Sunstein argues that the Precautionary Principle is incoherent. Risks exist on all sides of social situations, and precautionary steps create dangers of their own. Diverse cultures focus on very different risks, often because social influences and peer pressures accentuate some fears and reduce others. Instead of adopting the Precautionary Principle, Professor Sunstein argues for three steps: a narrow Anti-Catastrophe Principle, designed for the most serious risks; close attention to costs and benefits; and an approach called 'libertarian paternalism', designed to respect freedom of choice while also moving people in directions that will make their lives go better. He also shows how free societies can protect liberty amidst fears about terrorism and national security. Laws of Fear represents a major statement from one of the most influential political and legal theorists writing today

The article argues for the necessity of working out the notion «cyber security of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine». It is given statistics on the number of cyber-attack attempts on Ukrainian business and government agencies. The need to increase efforts in the field of border cyber security is being updated. The state, structure and purpose of the information and telecommunication system of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine «Hart» are investigated. There are such types of information that must be protected in the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine: open, confidential, official, secret information and information protection requirements of which set by law. It is substantiated that the virtual space within which information processed using the information and telecommunication system of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine "Hart" is circulated is a cybernetic space (cyberspace) of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The security of cyberspace of the border agency is carried out in accordance with the norms of international law, the Constitution of Ukraine, laws and subordinate legal acts of national legislation. The lack of regulatory definition of the «cybersecurity of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine» has caused the need for its study on a scientific level. As the result of the research, the definition of the notion «cyber security of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine» is formulated, it is the complex of legal, organizational and technical measures aimed at ensuring the security of the functioning of the information and telecommunication systems of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, by timely detection, prevention and neutralization of real and potential threats in the cybernetic space of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. ; У статті аргументується потреба визначення поняття «кібербезпека Державної прикордонної служби України». Наводяться статистичні дані щодо кількості спроб кібернетичних атак на підприємства та державні установи України. Актуалізується питання необхідності нарощування зусиль у сфері забезпечення кібернетичної безпеки прикордонного відомства. Досліджується стан, структура та призначення інформаційно-телекомунікаційної системи Державної прикордонної служби України «Гарт». Визначено види інформації, що підлягають обов'язковому захисту у прикордонній інформаційно-телекомунікаційній системі: відкрита, конфіденційна, службова, інформація, яка становить державну, або іншу, передбачену законом таємницю, інформація, вимога щодо захисту якої встановлена законом. Обґрунтовано, що віртуальний простір, у межах якого циркулює інформація, що обробляється з використанням інформаційно-телекомунікаційної системи Державної прикордонної служби України «Гарт» являє собою кібернетичний простір (кіберпростір) Державної прикордонної служби України. Забезпечення безпеки кіберпростору прикордонного відомства здійснюється у відповідності до норм міжнародного права, Конституції України, законів та підзаконних актів національного законодавства. Відсутність нормативного визначення поняття «кібербезпека Державної прикордонної служби України» обумовила необхідність його обґрунтування на науковому рівні. За результатами дослідження сформульовано визначення поняття «кібербезпека Державної прикордонної служби України» – це комплекс правових, організаційних та технічних заходів, спрямованих на забезпечення безпеки функціонування інформаційно-телекомунікаційних систем Державної прикордонної служби України, шляхом своєчасного виявлення, запобігання та нейтралізації реальних і потенційних загроз у кібернетичному просторі Державної прикордонної служби України.
