Flirting with disaster : why accidents are rarely accidental / Marc Gerstein with Michael Ellsberg ; foreword and afterword by Daniel Ellsberg.

Despite warnings of impending disaster, preemptive action is rarely taken by those who have the ability to do so. How do smart, high-powered people, leaders of global corporations, national institutions, even nations, often get it so wrong? While most investigations focus on the technical causes of disaster, Flirting With Disaster examines the psychological, social, and cultural impediments to whistle-blowing, showing what we can do to reduce the possibility of disasters happening at all

The impact of low-level aerial photography in imagery intelligence during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962 / by MAJ Lim Guang He

This essay sets out to establish lessons learnt from Imagery Intelligence (IMINT) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. One is the significant impact of IMINT on the strategic decisions behind the blockade on Cuba as well as the planning of eventual air strikes. The author also highlights that this impact was a huge risk once the over-reliance on IMINT and the deficiency of Human Intelligence (HUMINT) were understood. From the analysis of a ‘secret lowlevel photographic operation’ codenamed Operation Blue Moon, the author states that the successful collection of low-level aerial photography over Cuba was far from well-planned. But, he felt that the most crucial lesson comes from observing the behaviour and interactions between the actors responsible for the planning, authorisation, collection, analysis and consumption of intelligence. Even after fifty years, the crisis represents not only an important moment of the Cold War, but also a guide on the management of intelligence in general.

Approaching not-violent extremists in the context of the war against terrorism

The rise of home-grown Islamist terrorism over the last decade has become a pressing concern in Europe's counter-terrorism (CT) agenda. This particularly vexing aspect of the jihadist threat has compelled governments to adopt a more comprehensive policy architecture. This dissertation focuses on one particularly controversial aspect that governments are facing nowadays: the rise of not-violent extremist organizations.
The research explores the three possible policy options towards not-violent extremist organizations: ban, toleration and cooperation. Their adequate study will require a comprehensive study not only about their relation to violent extremism, but about how their management by policy-makers can entail repercussions for extremist violence.
The main hypothesis that this paper presents and defends is that the best policy option towards not-violent extremism is toleration. Though this strategy is not panacea, it maximizes the potential benefits of the existence of not-violent extremist organizations while minimizing possible backfires.

Attributing cyber attacks [journal article]

Who did it? Attribution is fundamental. Human lives and the security of the state may depend on ascribing agency to an agent. In the context of computer network intrusions, attribution is commonly seen as one of the most intractable technical problems, as either solvable or not solvable, and as dependent mainly on the available forensic evidence. But is it? Is this a productive understanding of attribution? — This article argues that attribution is what states make of it. To show how, we introduce the Q Model: designed to explain, guide, and improve the making of attribution. Matching an offender to an offence is an exercise in minimising uncertainty on three levels: tactically, attribution is an art as well as a science; operationally, attribution is a nuanced process not a black-and-white
problem; and strategically, attribution is a function of what is at stake politically. Successful attribution requires a range of skills on all levels, careful management, time, leadership, stress-testing, prudent communication, and recognising limitations and challenges.

Future-proofing the state: managing risks, responding to crises and building resilience / Jonathan Boston, John Wanna, Vic Lipski, Justin Pritchard

"This book focuses on the challenges facing governments and communities in preparing for and responding to major crises — especially the hard to predict yet unavoidable natural disasters ranging from earthquakes and tsunamis to floods and bushfires, as well as pandemics and global economic crises. Future-proofing the state and our societies involves decision-makers developing capacities to learn from recent 'disaster' experiences in order to be better placed to anticipate and prepare for foreseeable challenges. To undertake such futureproofing means taking long-term (and often recurring) problems seriously, managing risks appropriately, investing in preparedness, prevention and mitigation, reducing future vulnerability, building resilience in communities and institutions, and cultivating astute leadership. In the past we have often heard calls for 'better future-proofing' in the aftermath of disasters, but then neglected the imperatives of the message. Future-Proofing the State is organised around four key themes: how can we better predict and manage the future; how can we transform the short-term thinking shaped by our political cycles into more effective long-term planning; how can we build learning into our preparations for future policies and management; and how can we successfully build trust and community resilience to meet future challenges more adequately?"--Publisher's website.

SAF Transformation – Focusing on the People

Abstract: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF ) is moving towards Third Generation warfighting forces, but it is also important to focus on the people aspect of the transformation. This article deals with both managing change and creating the capacity to change in an organization. Exploring both the need for different change management approaches and the impediments to internalizing systems thinking in an organization, the article links the various concepts into a transformation framework useful for the SAF .

Forcing Strategic Evolution : The SAF As An Adaptive Organization

Abstract: he evolution of warfare is analogous to the evolution of natural populations. The idea of Fourth Generation Warfare (4GW) and its evolution was fi rst pioneered by William S. Lind and his co-authors in 1989, and has since gained prominence in describing the current state of asymmetrical warfare prevalent around the world. Akin to natural populations adapting to the changing environment and therefore evolving, there are societal factors driving the evolution of how organizations conduct warfare. In a fl at, networked world where information is exchanged freely, the change in societal factors will be accelerated, resulting in an increasingly fast-changing and unpredictable environment. It is this environment that all militaries, including the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), will fi nd themselves conducting business in. If the SAF operates in an environment of accelerated unpredictability, strategy must become adaptive—there is no other viable option. Thus the SAF should not plan to fi ght 4GW or any other predicted future state of war, because if the military environment changes faster than any strategic assessment or doctrinal implementation, it will always fi nd itself fi ghting “the last war.” Instead, the SAF should re-engineer itself as an adaptive organization— one that can continuously and systemically reinvent itself to stay relevant and achieve its fundamental goal of enhancing Singapore’s peace and security.
