Brief Synopis
Welcome to the second edition of our Bulletin. Inside these pages, we take on the audacious challenge of suggesting those issues and topics the newly inaugurated and confirmed Administration needs to understand concerning stability operations (SO). The centerpieces of this edition are Mr. Richard Smyth’s “Some Thoughts about Stability Operations,” that provides a critical perspective from a seasoned Foreign Service Officer; and Mr. Roy Williams’ related piece, “Stability Operations and NGOs: What’s in a Name?” that offers observations from a recognized leader among our civil society organizations.
