From Spring 2000 until Summer 2001 researchers
(currently the collective body, Center for Strategic
and Global Studies) through the Office for Research
competed for and successfully acquired contracts
from the United States Department of Defense
(DOD). These contracts were designed to provide
focused research and baseline information on
designated "low priority countries."
While the focus of this research was labeled
"government overview," "country
overview" and "military leadership"
the basic analysis for this research and each
of the countries under the allotted categories
included:
• Geographic Assessment
• Geopolitical Analysis
• Contemporary political history and political
and governmental development
• Contemporary organizational and political
leadership analysis.
• Examination of the emergence and development
of insurgent groups
• Constitutional Analysis, This analysis
places the country examined in the context of
its government's evaluation and development.
At the same time, this analysis provides the
foundation for assessing a nations international
relationships and foreign policy perspectives.
• Military and Political Analysis correlations
between political and military careers were
examined in specified countries.
While this research was essentially
completed in 2001, it has been the basis for
updated analysis. Recently, this updated analysis
has provided the framework for presentations
lectures, symposiums and media interviews on
aspects of
• Globalism
• International Relationships
