Em resposta às ações da União Soviética, o Governo Federal dos Estados Unidos rigorosamente articulou e financiou tais estratégias. Em especial, criou a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) para desenvolver a Ciência & Tecnologia & Defesa (C&T&D) norte-americana através de estudos novos, revolucionários e de risco, tais como foram os casos da pesquisa e desenvolvimento em internet, defesa de míssil balístico, testes de banimento nuclear, armas de precisão guiada, veículos não tripulados, satélites, e tecnologia stealth. Portanto, o objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar o papel que o Governo Federal e a DARPA desempenharam na construção das estratégias de supremacia em C&T&D dos Estados Unidos na Guerra Fria / Abstract: In the Cold War, there were three strategies of superiority in Military Science & Technology in the United States, whose common denominator was the massive public investment on Research and Development (R&D) for Defense. In response to the actions of the Soviet Union, the Federal Government of the United States rigorously articulated and funded such strategies. In particular, it created the Advanced Research Projects Agency Defense (DARPA) to develop the U.S. Science & Technology & Defense (S&T&D) through new, revolutionary and risk studies, such as the research and development on the internet, ballistic missile defense, precision guided munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, and stealth technology. Therefore, the aim of this research is to investigate the role that the Federal Government and the DARPA played in building strategies for supremacy on C&T&D in the United States in the Cold War / Mestrado / Política Externa / Mestre em Relações Internacionais Federalismo - Estados Unidos Tecnologia militar Guerra fria Federalism - United States Military technology Cold War
804	Poverty and Conflict: A Self-Perpetuating Cycle in the Somali Regional State (Region 5), Ethiopia: 1960-2010 Teshome, Bisrat 01 January 2011 (has links) Region 5 is one of the most impoverished and insecure regions of Ethiopia. For decades, the region has suffered from a multitude of armed conflicts involving state and non-state actors. Region 5 is also one of the most underserved states of Ethiopia with some of the lowest levels of human development indicators nationwide. Although the adversities of poverty and conflict are widely acknowledged in their own respect, there has been little or no inquest into why poverty and conflict have prevailed under the same space for decades. Poverty and conflict have often been seen as separate phenomena that are dealt with using different sets of theories and practices in the real world. Nonetheless, a closer look at poverty and conflict in Region 5 reveals that both are strongly connected to each other. The poverty-conflict trap has been an on-going cycle in the region for the last five decades. The main intent of this research paper is analyzing the two-way relationship between poverty and conflict in Region 5. By studying this relationship, this analysis seeks to contribute to a new framework that brings peacebuilding and development closer.

808	The airborne concept in the South African military, 1960-2000 : strategy versus tactics in small wars Alexander, Edward George McGill January 2016 (has links) Text in English / Restricted files have not been uploaded / The thesis commences by elaborating on the concept of vertical envelopment as a form of military manoeuvre and defining airborne operations as comprising parachute, helicopter and air-landed actions. It goes on to describe strategy and tactics as they apply to the discussion before briefly tracing the development internationally of vertical envelopment and the thinking of the South African military about airborne operations during the Second World War. Events leading up to the decision by the South African military to acquire helicopters and to train paratroopers in 1960 are examined and the early operational employment of helicopters is analysed. The establishment of 1 Parachute Battalion is discussed in the light of the absence of a clear understanding of how it should be employed. Moving on to the commencement of the conflict known as the Southern African Thirty Year War, the issue of strategic versus tactical application of an airborne capability during operations in Namibia, Angola and Rhodesia is defined. Strategic application is then illustrated by specific independent airborne strikes, and the requirement for an airborne brigade to plan and conduct such operations is highlighted. The establishment of 44 Parachute Brigade and the difficulties experienced in its development are reviewed before scrutinising the tactical use of airborne forces in support of other ground forces. The high point in organisation and capability of the airborne forces of the South African Defence Force at the time of the ending of the Thirty Year War is appraised and the unfulfilled potential of the capability is elucidated. Faced with change and uncertainty, the employment of the paratroopers in urban operations during the height of the civil unrest is examined. This is followed by probing the response of the paratrooper organisation to severe budget cuts, enforced reorganisation and relocation, the ending of conscription and integration into the new South African National Defence Force following the country’s first democratic elections in 1994. The thesis concludes with an evaluation of the airborne actions during the incursion by South Africa into Lesotho in 1998 and an assessment of the implications of the loss of a strategic airborne capability. / History / D.
