	IISS on complex irregular warfare: the West is Failing (MountainRunner)
		Appropriately, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) released their 2007 Military Balance: The IISS in the 2007 Military Balance again analyses the challenges of complex irregular warfare, this time assessing the psychological component.
		The IISS said it was not enough for Western armies to distribute leaflets telling the local population "we are here to help" or to put out the message that "life is getting better."
		The IISS said more attention needed to be paid to finding out what really mattered to the local population, and using cultural and psychological understanding to undermine support for insurgent movements.

		The IISS, one of the world's leading institutions for strategic relations, paints a bleak picture for Iraq and for the United States as a result of its involvement there.
		The report warns that "the gap between the political structures left by the departing CPA and the population itself does not bode well for the vanquishing of the insurgency or the growth of democracy".
		IISS director John Chipman told media representatives that "problems with both security and politics are set to continue and even increase in the six weeks to 'hand over' and then the six months to the proposed date for national elections".

		The IISS said Western nations were increasingly reluctant to operate outside their own sphere of interest and doubted whether the United Nations could operate effectively in countries such as Sierra Leone.
		The IISS said operations tended to be more effective when one nation, or a small group with a specific interest in the country they were policing, took a leading role.
		The IISS predicted that significant military mobilisations by the U.N. were unlikely in the near future.

	The Raw Story \| IISS study criticizes size and purpose of US reinforcements in Iraq
		London- The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London Wednesday criticized as inadequate the recent US troop reinforcements in Baghdad and accused the Iraqi government of "lacking the political will" to rebuild the country.
		For a surge of troops to be sustainable it needed to be married to a follow-up process of reconstituting sustainable security, building an administrative capacity and establishing the rule of law.
		The Iraqi government was "neither willing nor able" to follow up what the IISS called the clear-stage with the build-stage.

	CNN.com - Iraq nuclear dilemma exposed - September 9, 2002
		The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) also says Iraq could have been stockpiling chemical and biological weapons since 1998 when U.N. inspectors left the country and were refused permission to return.
		CNN Senior International Correspondent Walter Rodgers said the IISS estimates of Iraq's capabilities are generally lower than that of some Israeli generals in the intelligence divisions.
		The London-based IISS, founded in 1958 and now with offices in Washington and Singapore, says Iraq could "probably assemble" nuclear weapons in months if Saddam Hussein could get fissile material from foreign sources but that Iraq does not have the facilities to make enough material for a nuclear weapon itself.

	BBC NEWS \| World \| Middle East \| Iran 'years from nuclear bomb'
		The IISS estimates that, if Iran decided to develop HEU, it could take it between three and five years to make enough for a single nuclear bomb, assuming that it mastered the technology.
		But the IISS also says it could take as long as 10 to 15 years, depending on Iran's ability and intentions.
		The IISS says Iran would need to build a reprocessing plant suited to the fuel used in Bushehr and this would be very technically challenging.

		IISS reported mixed results in other parts of the world.

	North Korea could soon be making 13 nuclear bombs a year \| The Guardian \| Guardian Unlimited
		The IISS said the window for US diplomacy may be shorter than the US believes, and that if North Korea establishes a sizeable arsenal, it may be less willing to negotiate.
		John Chipman, director of the London-based IISS, said that lots of caveats had to be attached to assessments of North Korea's activities as it was an even more secretive state than Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
		The IISS assessment is that North Korea's ability to expand dramatically a nuclear weapons programme depends on how quickly it can complete a 50 megawatt reactor and a production-scale centrifuge enrichment plant.

	Westerners now at greater risk after Iraq war: IISS report
		The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said the United States, through last year's invasion and the ongoing occupation of Iraq, had shown a desire to change the political status quo in the Arab world to advance its own strategic and political interests.
		As examples of this increased threat, the IISS cited May 2003 attacks in Saudi Arabia and Morocco, the gathering of foreign fighters against the US-led coalition in Iraq, November 2003 attacks in Saudi Arabia and Turkey and the March 2004 train bombings in Madrid.
		The assessment was contained in the Institute's annual report for 2004 of the military capabilities and defence economics of 169 countries around the world.

	spiked-risk \| Article \| Al-Qaeda: blowing up the numbers
		The IISS worked out that, since 'at least 20,000 jihadists have been trained in [al-Qaeda's] Afghanistan camps since 1996', and that '2,000 rank-and-file members have been killed or captured' since the start of the Afghan war in 2001, then there must be 18,000 al-Qaeda-trained jihadists left, lurking somewhere around the world's hotspots.
		This year the IISS claimed not only that al-Qaeda still has thousands of potential terrorists, but that its ranks are growing, that recruitment is 'accelerating on account of Iraq'.
		The IISS report says: '[W]here security institutions are weak (as in Kenya) or constrained by anti-Western domestic sentiment (as in Indonesia, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia), vulnerabilities arise that are easier for al-Qaeda to exploit.

	IISS Report on Iraq: Why let the facts spoil a good story?
		Published with a fanfare of trumpets just days before September 11, and in one of the most critical periods in the debate over Iraq, the IISS report was timed to attract maximum publicity and affect public opinion.
		The IISS was set up in 1958 at the height of the Cold War, and has very strong links to the government and the establishment.
		According to the IISS website, its income, comes from "a range of international bodies and foundations", individual and corporate membership, and its publications.

	Iraq Occupation Made World Less Safe, Pro-War Institute Says: International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS) KIM ...
		The IISS dossier on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, published on 9 September 2002, was edited by Gary Samore, formerly of the US State Department, and presented by Dr John Chipman, a former Nato fellow.
		Large parts of the IISS document were subsequently recycled in the now notorious Downing Street dossier, published with a foreword by the Prime Minister, the following week.
		However, unlike No 10, the IISS admits that it made mistakes in its dossier about the extent of the Iraqi threat, and has commissioned an independent assessment by Rolf Ekeus, a former head of United Nations arms inspectors in Iraq.

	Asia Times Online :: Middle East News, Iraq, Iran current affairs
		Coincidentally or not, the IISS report comes at a crucial time, in advance of a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran on December 19 that could result in the issue of Tehran's nuclear program being referred to the United Nations Security Council, where it is possible that sanctions could be imposed.
		The IISS, echoing the official Downing Street line on Iran, has underestimated and undervalued Iran's adherence to the intrusive Additional Protocol, this while all but dismissing as irrelevant Iran's leaders' stated opposition to nuclear weapons.
		The forcefulness with which Iran's leaders have denounced nuclear weapons, not to mention the scope of Iran's cooperation with the IAEA inspections, need to be taken into consideration, in light of Iran's absence of a traditional threat, such as Saddam Hussein.

	IISS: Iran years away from nuclear arms capability
		Iran is likely to be able to develop a nuclear weapons capability in 10 or 15 years but could overcome the technical difficulties within a much shorter period, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), IRNA reported from London.
		But Samore, a former national security advisor to US President Bill Clinton, suggested that it was more likely that, given Iran's cautious behavior, a decision on whether to build such a capability may be much further away.
		The IISS report, edited by Samore, also gives considerable detail on Iran's long-range missile program, where it says there have been considerable technical advances in recent years.

		The concept of iISS is weaker than that of ISS, in the sense that every input-to-state stable system is necessarily integral-input-to-state stable but the converse is not true.
		In particular, the resulting formula for the feedback law is more complicated than in the ISS case (except when the values of the disturbances can be directly measured and used for control): the construction involves "patching" together several control laws defined on appropriate regions of the state space.
		As for the iISS case, a careful examination of the argument in [1] reveals that it does not use the assumption that the right-hand side is Lipschitz at zero.

		The IISS is an international membership organisation based in London, and is both a limited company in UK law and a registered charity.
		The Institute's conference activities are considered to be at the forefront of public policy development, given that its convening power is such that it can often bring government officials and others together in forum that they could not easily manage for themselves.

	Iraq remains most difficult security issue, says IISS - Irna
		The international security situation remains dominated by the global terrorist threat that is showing deeper roots in many regions, according to the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).
		IISS director John Chipman said that the pressing issues were the instability in Iraq and its capacity to infect the whole region, and non-proliferation concerns, at present most intense over Iran's presumed nuclear programme.
		Launching the London-based institute's annual Military Balance, he said that finding the right mix of diplomatic and military tools had become "exasperatingly difficult." All three dilemmas required "increased international co-operation and regional extroversion." "Most difficult of all will be the ever elusive quest to bring more international actors into the situation in Iraq," Chipman warned.
