Boyd suggested a decision making process with four phases Observe, Orientate, Decision and Act (OODA loop), and suggested that it is possible to defeat an enemy by penetrating their OODA loop. Warden believed it was possible to defeat an enemy by attacking their centre of gravity, suggesting five levels, leadership, key production, infrastructure, population, and fielded forces. The paper analyses both theories suggesting how and why at times they may not be viable theories.

- WORDS:
- 3400
- DATE:
- 2010
- PRICE:
- 39.99 GBP
This essay explores the belief that civilizations which are defined by their culture and cultural identities, with religion as the most important factor, will shape patterns of cohesion, disintegration, and conflict in the post-Cold War world.

With the writings of Huntington as its main point of reference for the debate, the paper aims to refute his broad and sweeping assumptions about the nature of civilizations and points to the diversity of the Islamic world as one of the examples that call his theories into question.

- WORDS:

- PRICE:
- 29.99 GBP
The paper uses as its case study the 1962 Cuban missile crisis and explains how this flashpoint in Cold War international relations is now used as a model by which to understand foreign policy crises. The research discusses the decision-making process – analysing intelligence gathering to final policy formulation. The literature review section is compelling, and includes references to the writings of the 1962 US Attorney General, Robert Kennedy, Freedman’s The Evolution of Nuclear Strategy, and Herman’s Intelligence Power in Peace and War – the latter arguing that the collection of intelligence is the most significant part of policy formation. The Rational Actor theory of international relations is examined – the idea that policy is constructed upon the belief that states, in order to perpetuate their existence, take action based on careful cost-benefit analysis linked to the reduction or diminution of risk.
