المتعاقدون في الحروب
\"المتعاقدون في الحروب\" أرتبطت عمليتا الحرية الدائمة في أفغانستان وحرية العراق بظاهرة الاستخدام المفرط للمتعاقدين في جبهتي القتال وهي الظاهرة التي أثارت نقاشا واسعا وجدلا حادا متمخضة عن عدد كبير من الأدبيات والآراء التي تنتقد في معظمها هذا التوجه الجديد لـ \"لخصخصة الحرب\" ولكن ما الذي دفع الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية إلى اللجوء إلى المتعاقدين في الحرب ؟ وما طبيعة الأعمال والوظائف التي يقوم بها هؤلاء المتعاقدون ؟ وهل استخدامهم أمر طارئ أو هو متصل بالبنية الجديدة للقوة العسكرية في القرن الحادي والعشرين؟ ولماذا تعتم الحكومة الأمريكية على أعداد القتلى والجرحى في صفوف المتعاقدين ؟ ولم يتجاهل الرأي العام خسائرهم البشرية ؟ هذه الأسئلة وغيرها يحاول هذا الكتاب الإجابة عليها من خلال دراستين الأولى بعنوان \"المتعاقدون : العنصر الجديد في بنية القوة العسكرية\" لمارك كانسيان والثانية بعنوان \"أهمية التركيز على القتلى من المتعاقدين\" لستيفن شونر.

Coping with Surprise in Great Power Conflicts
Surprise has always been an element of warfare, but the return of great power competition—and the high-level threat that it poses—gives urgency to thinking about surprise now. Because the future is highly uncertain, and great powers have not fought each other for over 70 years, surprise is highly likely in a future great power conflict. This study, therefore, examines potential surprises in a great power conflict, particularly in a conflict's initial stages when the interaction of adversaries' technologies, prewar plans, and military doctrines first becomes manifest. It is not an attempt to project the future. Rather, it seeks to do the opposite: explore the range of possible future conflicts to see where surprises might lurk.

Alternative defense strategies in a cost-capped environment
This study identifies five alternative strategies and, using CSIS's Force Cost Calculator, builds a cost-capped force structure, modernization program, and readiness profile for each strategy. It then stress-tests each strategy against four sets of simultaneous conflict scenarios, which the authors devised. The study explores potential ways to mitigate the fiscal pressure forcing these strategic tradeoffs. It concludes by making recommendations for the FY 2017 defense budget and the next Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR).
