Produced by the Center for Contemporary Conflict at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Strategic Insights is an electronic journal offering timely, concise assessments of U.S. and international security issues. While the journal is intended especially for U.S. military personnel and defense policymakers, we also welcome the interest of students and the public. New issues of Strategic Insights are published here on a quarterly basis.
