The system was never broken. It was waiting to change.Kael never intended to become part of it.When a failing network begins to behave in ways no one can explain, Kael is pulled into a shifting reality where structure collapses, paths no longer hold, and the system itself begins to respond. What starts as a search for answers quickly turns into a fight for survival as unseen forces move to control what remains.But the deeper Kael goes, the more the system changes, and the more it changes him.Hunted by those who seek to isolate and command the network, Kael is forced into an impossible choice. Hold the system together and become trapped within it, or let it fracture and risk losing everything connected to it.As the boundaries between man and system begin to blur, one truth becomes clear.Not everything is meant to be controlled.Some systems must evolve.Some must be released.
With the end of the Cold War, a popular parlor game in foreign ministries, think tanks, and academia has been to develop a theory of international relations that best explains the new international order. Although there is widespread agreement that the United States is the world's most powerful country in military, economic, and diplomatic terms, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future, there is little agreement as to how the rest of the world will react to America's lead. Concepts such as "balancing," "bandwagoning," "buck-passing," and "free riding," to name just a few, have been advanced and debated. And although none presents a unified field theory, each explains some aspect of international relations. Theory has an even more difficult time explaining the relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom (UK), especially its remarkable endurance over the past 6 decades. The U.S.-UK partnership flourished during World War II, deepened during the long twilight struggle...
Even before Operation IRAQI FREEDOM began, the Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) published a monograph about planning for transition to Phase IV operations. Now that we are 3 years beyond the start of that transition, the debate continues about the adequacy of planning for and proficiency of execution of Phase IV operations in Iraq and elsewhere. The debate most often surrounds three issues concerning this final operational phase: the relationship to preceding operational phases; responsibility for planning; and responsibility for execution. Inevitably, the interagency process becomes central to addressing each of these issues. A colloquium on "U.S. Military Operations in Iraq: Planning, Combat, and Occupation" was held November 2, 2005, and was co-sponsored by SSI and Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). An exceptional combination of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers examined persistent issues central to the important and ongoing debate surrounding the colloquium theme.
