They write much about it.<br />There's also a Valium-like journal somewhere, "Army Logistician" or similar. It should at least be on findarticles.com .S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-55757565855846948852011-05-27T01:49:21.876+02:002011-05-27T01:49:21.876+02:00www.carnegieendowment.org Has a very good article ...www.carnegieendowment.org Has a very good article on this same subject, entitled: Lessons from the Past - The American Record on Nation Building.<br /><br />In the 2nd table, they have a list of seven factors which must be in favorable array in order for a successful occupation to take place: In iraq, none of those factors are in favorable order.<br /><br />By the way, sven, do you have any thoughts for an article on logistics yet? I would have read the books you recomended, but none could be found!keslerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156541035725991913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-36337887880433529332011-05-16T23:57:45.975+02:002011-05-16T23:57:45.975+02:00I think the key is here that the Chinese think tha...I think the key is here that the Chinese think that Tibet is Chinese. It's probably comparable to the development of Siberia by Russians or the British keeping Northern Ireland.<br /><br />The wealth difference wasn't huge for most of the time as well. PLA troops in Tibet cost very little in addition to what food can be gained locally. The infrastructure investments cost probably more than the occupation troops.S Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359796414832859686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386077914312449748.post-2220135817832089722011-05-16T23:25:48.070+02:002011-05-16T23:25:48.070+02:00Interesting thoughts.
What would you say about Chi...Interesting thoughts.<br />What would you say about China's occupation of Tibet, though? I think the Chinese consider it to be successful, but it wouldn't seem to meet criteria (A) or (B). Is it too "de minimis" of an example, b/c of low population density?JasonSnoreply@blogger.com
