    Decisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-6 – Eric A. Heinze – “International Law, Self-Defense, and the Israel-Hamas Conflict”
    May 23 2024
    This podcast examines the international law of self-defense as it applies to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict to determine whether the October 2023 attacks by Hamas against Israel can be interpreted under Article 51 of the UN Charter as an “armed attack” that gives Israel the right to use military force in self-defense against non-state actors. It situates the conflict within ongoing legal and political debates, shows how this conflict fits into a changing global reality where the most dangerous security threats do not exclusively emanate from other states and concludes that Israel’s resort to force in the current conflict appears to have a sound basis in international law.

  • Decisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-5 – Sheena Chestnut Greitens – China’s Use of Nontraditional Strategic Landpower in Asia

    Decisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-5 – Sheena Chestnut Greitens – China’s Use of Nontraditional Strategic Landpower in Asia
    May 9 2024
    This article argues that the People’s Republic of China uses its police and internal security forces as a nontraditional means of projecting strategic Landpower in the Indo-Pacific and Central Asia. Instead of limiting analysis of China’s power projection to military forces, this article employs new data on Chinese police engagements abroad to fill a gap in our understanding of the operating environment in Asia. Policymakers will gain an understanding of how these activities enhance China’s presence, partnerships, and inf luence across the region to inform the development of recommendations for a more effective response.

  • Decisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-4 – Andrew Payne – The Politics of Restraint in the Middle East

    Decisive Point Podcast – Ep 5-4 – Andrew Payne – The Politics of Restraint in the Middle East
    May 2 2024
    Domestic constraints make it difficult for the United States to pursue a coherent program of restraint in the Middle East. As events in Gaza revive debates about the appropriate size and scope of the military footprint in the region, this article shows the importance of grounding any revised posture on a firm domestic foundation. Going beyond accounts that blame the obstructionism of a foreign policy establishment, it explores barriers to strategic adjustment and supports its claims through a case study of the Obama administration’s record, drawn from relevant literature, data on the distribution of military capabilities, and interviews with senior officials.
