TOPIC:
Develop an essay to address the two part question below:
Part A
Given the (NSS) National Security Strategy coupled with its discussion of the strategy in a regional context, pick a regional security issue within the Indo-Asia-Pacific region and explain how one of the following (IR) International Relations concepts might inform and guide U.S. policy, consistent with the goals and objectives of the NSS (polarity and power transition, democratic peace, international political economy, and international law).
Part B
The INDOPACOM J-5 has established a joint planning group (JPG) tasked with taking a fresh look at the following SCENARIO and being prepared to discuss a recommended multi-domain strategy informed by the contributions of air, space, and cyber power as outlined in the TASK below.
SCENARIO: Consider a scenario where after a short period of strategic warning, a Chinese military operation is in progress to invade Taiwan. Robust diplomatic efforts continue, yet Chinas invasion is ongoing. No options or resources have been taken off the table for planning purposes.
TASK: Using concepts of coercion from Annex 3-0, “Operations and Planning,” and “Strategies of Coercion: Denial, Punishment, and the Future of Air Power” by Karl Mueller, broadly describe a coercive strategy that would support a US national aim of influencing China to abandon its expansionist goals with respect to Taiwan and return to the status quo ante. Ensure you discuss contributions and considerations for air, space, and cyber power in your coercive strategy. Support and defend your recommended strategy with specific examples or illustrations.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Approximately half of your paper should be allotted to Part A and half to Part B. Your answer may include aspects of a cooperative strategy, but MUST be primarily a coercive strategy. Your response should not reference nor allude to any real-world contingency plan, strategy, or course of action. Your recommended strategy should remain at the strategic level; avoid focusing on operational or tactical details.
