\"Henry<\/a>\u2018The warrior ethos is at risk!\u2019 Headlining today\u2019s round-up is a speech by the US Army\u2019s Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster<\/a> at a Veterans Day ceremony. Specifically, it\u2019s worth reading the second half, which discusses\u00a0the importance of the warrior ethos while \u2018remaining connected to those in whose name we fight’.<\/p>\n

Need the facts and figures behind the Asia Pacific\u2019s most pressing maritime security issues? Check out the 18 maps assembled by the Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative<\/a> (an initiative conceived and designed by CSIS) that show major trade routes and straits, South China Sea LNG flows, the location of oil and gas reserves, membership of security forums and EEZs. The maps are accompanied by analysis<\/a> and a searchable\u00a0timeline spanning 175 years of Asia Pacific maritime affairs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also on regional order, Farish Ahmad-Noor has a new RSIS Commentary on how China sees itself and its role in Asia<\/a>. Looking at Xi Jinping\u2019s speeches, Ahmad-Noor’s piece is a useful insight into what the Communist Party of China thinks about Asia (spoiler alert: better without the West).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Paul Dibb and John Lee have a new Security Challenges<\/em> article<\/a> (PDF) on why China will not<\/em> be the dominant power in Asia.<\/p>\n

Turning now to Japan, CSIS has a quick primer on Shinzo Abe\u2019s decisions to postpone a tax hike and hold a snap election in December this year<\/a>, with analysis on the implications for Abenomics and relations with the US. Meanwhile, the Stimson Center\u2019s Yuki Tatsumi asks, can Japan\u2019s National Security Strategy outlive Abe?<\/a><\/p>\n

Obama has a lot to learn from Kissinger\u2019s book on foreign policy<\/a>, writes Anne-Marie Slaughter. In an interesting but longer read, Slaughter identifies elements in Henry Kissinger\u2019s conceptualisation of international order<\/a>, including his interpretation of American exceptionalism and position on military intervention, that are instructive to the current administration.<\/p>\n

Looking further beyond the Asia Pacific, the Council on Foreign Relations\u2019 Stewart Patrick offers four ways the African Union can stand on its own<\/a> to better deliver peace and security. Meanwhile, here\u2019s an interesting interview with Northwestern University\u2019s Richard Joseph on why defeating Boko Haram is a global imperative<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s science and technology pick, DARPA is looking at synthetic biology in the fight against Ebola<\/a>. As the name suggests, synthetic biology involves redesigning living organisms to carry out specific functions by creating new DNA (which kind of makes me think of this<\/a>).<\/p>\n

On capability, the Russian army will introduce a new family of armoured combat vehicles next year. Over at The National Interest<\/em>, Dave Majumdar looks at the implications of the replacement vehicles<\/a>, including the potential for Russia to operate them in the Arctic Circle.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, there has been (more) debate overseas about women in combat. In Britain, a former Army officer has said women lack a \u2018killer instinct\u2019<\/a> (a position the two Strategist<\/em> female editors would happily challenge). While in the States, War On the Rocks has published Anna Simons\u2019, professor of defense analysis at the Naval Postgraduate School, post against moves to place women in combat units<\/a>, drawing a pointed critique from blogger Gary Owen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Podcast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Listen to this CSIS Smart Women Smart Power podcast<\/a> on the re-election of Brazil\u2019s president Dilma Rousseff for the analysis on the country\u2019s economic prospects but also for the impact Rousseff\u2019s background as a Marxist guerrilla fighter has had on her political style.<\/p>\n

Event<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canberra: It\u2019s back! Kokoda Next<\/a> is on again next Friday 28 November, featuring seven future strategic leaders on national security. The event is at the Palace Electric Cinema, New Acton from 4.30pm. Tickets available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
