The U.S. Military in Support of Strategic Objectives in Latin America and the Caribbean
2019
Since the end of the Cold War, Latin America and the Caribbean have received a relatively minimal portion of personnel and resources allocated globally by the US military. Such allocations are understandable, given that there are no major interstate wars or state rivals in the region presenting a conventional or nuclear threat to the US. Yet the absence of such challenges has led to an unfortunate paucity of thinking about the strategic roles and potential contributions of the US military in Latin America, and other regions where the threat of major armed conflict is limited or absent. While the absence of major interstate conflicts and near-term military threats from regional competitors is a bright spot in the context of the challenges of criminal insecurity, corruption, and inequality that plague Latin America, from a US military perspective, such good news has translated into a relative lack of thinking among security planners regarding the role of US armed forces in the region, and in other regions like it, where the prospect of large-scale combat operations is relatively slim.

Gamble with time
2013
In 1956, a physicist colleague of Shannons from Texas, John Larry Kelly, published a lesser-known but equally profound paper looking at how a gambler facing a series of risky bets could optimize his winnings in the long run and avoid ruin along the way. Kelly offered a concise answer: the gambler should at each stage wager a specific fraction of his or her current wealth, the fraction determined by the odds and potential winnings. The recent work of physicist Ole Peters, who has re-visited Kellys thinking and applied it to resolve a centuries old paradox, is discussed

JOHN KELLY'NİN YİRMİ YAŞINDAKİ MOBİLİZASYON TEORİSİ SENDİKALAR İÇİN HALA YENİ Mİ?
2019
Bu çalışmanın amacı, John Kelly'nin mobilizasyon teorisinin katkılarını ve teorideki gerilimli alanları göstermek ve bu sayede yirminci yılına giren teorinin güncelliğini koruyup korumadığı hakkında bir tartışma yapmaktır. Kelly'nin endüstri ilişkileri teorisine yaptığı en önemli katkı endüstri ilişkileri hakkında yeni bir düşünüş tarzı ortaya çıkarmasıdır. Kelly'nin teorisinden sonra endüstri ilişkileri yazını işçi mobilizasyonu, işçi kolektivizmi, güç ilişkileri, uzun dalgalar, sendikal canlanma ve örgütlenme gibi konulara çok daha yoğun bir şekilde odaklanmaya başlamıştır. Öte yandan, teorinin uzun dalgalar ve sendikal canlanma ile ilgili bazı öngörüleri henüz hayata geçmemiştir. Çalışmanın temel iddiası, bu sorunun teorik bir eksikliğe işaret etmediği yönündedir. Aksine bu durum, neo-liberal politikalar ve işverenlerin sendika düşmanlığı koşulları altında, teoride yer alan önerilerin devamlı taze kalmasını sağlamaktadır.

Venezuela, cerca al colapso económico
2015
Agencias k Washington El jefe del Comando Sur de Estados Unidos, el general John Kelly, dijo ayer que Venezuela está \"cerca del colapso y de implosionar\", debido a su \"triste\" situación económica. En una audiencia en el Senado estadounidense, el jefe militar para Suramérica y Centroamérica dijo que el gobierno del presidente venezolano, Nicolás Maduro, les acusa de \"planear golpes de Estado\" y de querer derribar al Gobierno, \"pero para eso no necesitan ninguna ayuda\". Kelly dijo que es muy \"triste\" ver a un país que posee una de las mayores reservas de petróleo del mundo caer en una \"atrofia\" económica, que ha provocado una inflación rampante y escasez de algunos productos básicos. \"Si (Venezuela) recorta los programas sociales y continúa la escasez, algo que parece inevitable, eso podría provocar mayores tensiones y protestas, lo que podría llevar al presidente Maduro a tomar más medidas represivas contra manifestantes y la oposición\", explicó Kelly en un testimonio escrito adicional.

Expanding the Rebalance: Confronting China in Latin America
China's expansion into Latin America might well outflank the US rebalance in Asia. The US needs a broader strategic option, one capable of ensuring access to markets and of reducing future strategic risk to US interests in Latin America.
