The project presents an ongoing series of briefings on various aspects of the crisis, analytical publications ranging from short 2,000-word papers to full-length books, and a large and evolving section of the website containing background resources, government documents, and archived video, audio, and printed transcripts of Brookings events. COMMENTARY * What Should Japan Do Next in the War on Terror? Michael O'Hanlon writes that he would be personally grateful if Japan chose this moment to offer an even more impressive contribution to global security. http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/ohanlon/20021101.htm A Pas De Deux Justin Vaisse argues that both countries need this resolution: France, because a unilateral action would make the Security Council irrelevant, and America, because an action seen as illegitimate would further antagonize a world that increasingly tends to see it as a hegemon, not as a leader. http://www.brookings.edu/views/op-ed/fellows/vaisse_20021103.htm ARTICLES * Does Saudi Arabia Still Matter? Differing Perspectives on the Kingdom and Its Oil Shibley Telhami and Fiona Hill argue that although events in the past year have shown the need for profound political and economic reform in Saudi Arabia, which would bolster the stability of the kingdom as well as the global economy, the proposition that the Persian Gulf states and Saudi Arabia are losing their significance for the United States misses the mark on several issues.

Meyers, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff General Richard B. Meyers visited the Brookings Institution on Monday, November 4, 2002. In his remarks, General Meyers discussed the role of the U.S. military in the current strategic environment and the ways in which the military plans to support President Bushs National Security Strategy. A complete transcript of this event is available at: http://www.brookings.edu/comm/events/20021104.pdf Brookings Press Briefing: The NATO Summit in Prague: Challenges to Bush and the Alliance President Bush leaves shortly for Prague to meet his fellow heads of state from the NATO nations at one of the most important summit meetings in the alliance's 53-year history. The meeting comes at a time when some of America's NATO allies notably France and Germanyare actively expressing opposition to any American-led war to overthrow Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Another NATO ally, England, supports strong American moves to rid Iraq of weapons of mass destruction. Despite this split over Iraq policy, the NATO alliance has developed defense plans against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, and cyberattack, which will be unveiled at the Prague summit. Additionally, the agenda calls for Bush and the other NATO leaders to agree on a major modernization of allied military capabilities to deal with threats in the twenty-first century, including creation of a new NATO Response Force. A large number of new members in Eastern Europe will be admitted to membership in NATO at the Prague summit, continuing the transformation of the alliance, which was originally created after World War II as a bulwark against a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. At the briefing, James Steinberg, Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy Studies; Ivo H. Daalder, Senior Fellow; and Philip H. Gordon, Senior Fellow, will examine these and other issues that President Bush will confront in Prague. The discussion will be moderated by the President of the Brookings Institution, Strobe Talbott.

Sounds like a worthwhile newsletter. I'll have to look into it. I get Jane's Defence and Jane's Security weekly briefings (the shortened, abstracts for non-subscribers -- I can't afford the £600 or so annually that a full subscription costs).
