These include, but are not confined to, the political, economic, demographic, geographic, and technological parameters of a given society. The notable diversity of the large, culturally plural, and increasingly volatile region of Africa south of the Sahara Desert makes this a considerable challenge for study. |

Special operations have long been an important force multiplier, but only with World War II were they systematically organized and manned in such fashion as to become a viable part of normal mission planning and execution. Using recent illustrations, we explore this process and grapple with the questions it poses to gain a general understanding of the nature of special operations forces and of their modes of employment, to be introduced to the essential history of special operations forces and their recent employment and to grapple with questions of employment and assessment of success when using special operations forces. |

Space exploration and exploitation have become global activities. While the United States and the Soviet Union were battling for supremacy during the Cold War and striving for ?firsts? in the Space Race, several nascent space powers were blossoming in the background. Not limited to the U.S. and USSR, the dream of spaceflight sprouted in lands as diverse as France, Germany, China, Japan, India, Israel and Brazil. The European Space Agency, the Chinese Space Program, the Japanese Space Program and the Indian Space Program have become space powerhouses. A study of these various programs is essential to gain a thorough understanding that space exploration is not only a global enterprise, but also an important concern for our own national security. |
