The Path to Peace

Strategies and Counter Strategies for Significant International Events

By: Laure Paquette

By taking into account strategic interactions, it is possible to predict and therefore to foster more peaceful relations among and within states. Strategy provides a useful forecasting tool for relations between various types of actors (individuals, groups, non-governmental organizations, states, international organization of states) that are fraught or otherwise difficult. Finally, although strategy is initially a difficult form of analysis, the individual steps are not – its powers for helping to cope with uncertainty and the unexpected can be harnessed for the greater common good. The present book proposes a step-by-step method for the analysis of events of international significance. At the core of this proposal is the notion that values and action are the two basic building blocks of all human behavior, including those of actors on the international stage. Values are timeless, universal, uncontroversial notions that virtually every community cherishes: survival, justice, economy, self-fulfillment, or self-respect."--pub. description.

Strategy and Ethnic Conflict

A Method, Theory, and Case Study

By: Laure Paquette

Ethnic conflict now presents the thorniest problems for military and civilian strategists of all stripes. This book presents a new general theory of strategy, encompassing studies of the relationship between values, interest, and strategy as these relate to ethnic conflicts. It focuses on the relationship between values and strategy, building a theory on the hypothesis that national values influence national strategy. Paquette's research reveals that national values influence national strategy through three mechanisms: cognition, appreciation, and evaluation. Each mechanism, and indeed the whole value-focused approach to strategic thinking, is described using a network of interrelated statements. Paquette develops a methodology specific to the issues of international security and ethnic considerations. She tests this theory extensively for internal consistency before applying it to a single historical case: French decision-making on national strategy between 1955 and 1970; however, because of its generality, this same theory could easily be applied to other cases. As with any theory, it is possible to vary successively or simultaneously assumptions or conditions and to derive new predictions. This process of deriving variations has the potential to help in the training of strategists, both military and civilian.

Campaign Strategy and the Key to Political Longevity

By: Laure Paquette

Strategy is a simple and powerful method of analysis, it works in the abstract and it is new to most readers. Designed for the overburdened political operative, constituent steps of strategy are easy to understand, analyse or design once divested of their theoretical apparatus. Strategy's powers for coping with uncertainty and the unexpected are easily harnessed for the achievement of political success, and it is by this ease of application that the design of the present book may be judged. It is possible, for example, for the harried reader to go directly to the chapters on developing a campaign strategy or designing a response to a political tactic. The goal of the present book is to propose that strategy can be a suitable foundation for the analysis and development of any electoral candidate's campaign, the significance of events in the course of that campaign, and the prescription of a course of action, strategic or tactical, for winning elections. By taking into account strategic interventions as well as strategic interactions, it is possible to run a successful campaign for parties or individual candidates. Strategy provides a useful forecasting tool for relations between all the actors who may be involved (individuals, groups, political parties, factions within those parties, governments at various levels, pressure groups and even election officials), which are fraught or otherwise difficult. This book is the most recent instalment in a series of books and articles introducing a new general theory of strategy and its applications to an audience primarily composed of non-strategists. The present series of books also fit into a broader oeuvre, integrated along three axes. The first axis focuses on the methodological and theoretical development of this new theory of strategy. The second axis presents several structured sets of case studies focusing on the various types of actors in political systems, broadly defined. The third axis presents a series of exercises and worksheets which pertain either to particular applications of strategy or which spans the intellectual development of a good strategist. This book covers both the first and third axes, explaining the use of strategy in election campaigns.

Teaching Political Science to Undergraduates

Active Pedagogy for the Microchip Mind

By: Laure Paquette

By 2020, half of the world's population and most university students will have a supercomputer in their pockets. This revolution will affect the way students respond to higher education. The university classroom must henceforth engage students, and the classic lecture format alone might not be enough to do so. This book answers the question how university students can learn in the classroom what they cannot learn in any other way. The answer is inspired by options that are not available to political scientists - in the way that they are in the laboratories for the sciences, in the performances for the live arts, and in the studios for visual arts - as well as ideas that are already present, but not widespread in the discipline: problem-solving and case studies, as in the professional schools, and simulation exercises in many other disciplines. This book proposes therefore an active pedagogy for political science, at a time when active pedagogy is more important than ever. Prof. Laure Paquette, PhD, has been a visiting researcher or professor in 23 countries. She has advised several foreign governments as well as her own, Canada, and has published extensively in four languages. This is her sixteenth book.

NATO and Eastern Europe After 2000

Strategic Interactions with Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Bulgaria

By: Laure Paquette

NATO is acutely aware of its increased status as a force for stability in a drastically altered Atlantic community. The number of its initiatives is on the increase just as a new political, economic and military Europe emerges. The Cold War's end has wrought as many changes as there are continuities in the security environment. Eastern and Central European states, especially NATO and PfP members, enjoy an increasing importance to NATO, both as trading partners and as new participants in the civil society. While the literature on relations between NATO and the East Europeans is rather limited, the study of the overall posture of those states in the international system is almost non-existent, so that the consequences of their posture for NATO's renewed concept are unknown. The study of these countries' security posture and strategic interactions with Central European states in general promotes the renewed role of NATO. This book shows that each of the long-term relations with Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria is subordinated to the goal of entering the European Union, and that their different values will makes relations difficult. This will test NATO's new strategic concept to the limit. It also shows the importance of strategic thinking.

Political Strategy and Tactics

A Practical Guide

By: Laure Paquette

This book aims to bridge a broadly applicable and validated theory and the practical challenges that face any individual acting in the face of a power imbalance. It underpins the practical advice with a detailed sociology of action of the phenomenon known as strategy. The only thing required to use this strategy is some capacity for abstract thought for planning a strategy and some self-awareness and discipline for implementing it. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the possibilities available to the strategist, and provides a simple method of developing a strategy.

Plant Functional Diversity

Organism Traits, Community Structure, and Ecosystem Properties

By: Eric Garnier,Marie-Laure Navas,Karl Grigulis

Biological diversity, the variety of living organisms on Earth, is traditionally viewed as the diversity of taxa, and species in particular. However, other facets of diversity also need to be considered for a comprehensive understanding of evolutionary and ecological processes. This novel book demonstrates the advantages of adopting a functional approach to diversity in order to improve our understanding of the functioning of ecological systems and theircomponents. The focus is on plants, which are major components of these systems, and for which the functional approach has led to major scientific advances over the last 20 years. PlantFunctional Diversity presents the rationale for a trait-based approach to functional diversity in the context of comparative plant ecology and agroecology. It demonstrates how this approach can be used to address a number of highly debated questions in plant ecology pertaining to plant responses to their environment, controls on plant community structure, ecosystem properties, and the services these deliver to human societies. This research level text will be of particular relevance and use tograduate students and professional researchers in plant ecology, agricultural sciences and conservation biology.

Strategy and Human Rights

By: Laure Paquette

This book applies the ancient wisdom of the oppressed to the achievement of greater respect for human rights. It is the basis for a set of tools that the powerless can use to make the best of bad situations. One important part of these tools is the worksheet system, which is a knowledge transfer system. Another is a set of case studies illustrating how it can and has been used. It provides a suitable foundation for the analysis and design of overall sets of actions to achieve those goals, introducing the theoretical foundations of strategy and strategic intervention. It includes case studies for national and international actors. These include: an individual's fight for his own human rights, Edward Snowden; a subnational group's strategy in dealing with a state, the Committee of Concerned Scientists and the People's Republic of China; a supra-national group's strategy in the supra-national system, Amnesty International and the defense of freedom of expression; a state and a group of states, Poland and the UN system of human rights; a group of states and a supranational group, Human Rights Watch and the UN; a multiplayer, multilevel strategy in the supra-national system, Amnesty International and women's rights; and a group of states, the EU and the UN on human rights, 1995-2015"--
