Four years after the smuggling ship Golden Venture, carrying nearly 300 Chinese migrants, ran aground off Queens, New York. Chinese migrant trafficking into the United States persists. This illegal immigration is organized by highly effective alien smuggling organizations using routes involving more than 30 countries and earning hundreds of millions of dollars. The authors of this volume examine the roots and logistics of this growth industry as well as the "push" and "pull" factors - such as unemployment and population pressures - that are fueling the Chinese exodus to the land known as the "Beautiful Country".

Russian organized crime constitutes a direct threat to the national security interests of the United States by fostering instability in a nuclear-armed power. Left unchecked, Russia is in jeopardy of becoming a criminal syndicalist state under the control of corrupt government bureaucrats, politicians, quasi-businessmen, and criminals. These are the conclusions of the CSIS Russian Organized Crime Task Force, as reported in a new CSIS Panel Report. Composed of senior-level U.S. government representatives and private-sector experts, the task force assesses the breadth and depth of Russian organized crime and corruption, addresses current U.S. policy, and makes recommendations on how best to confront these challenges. 
The report is divided into five chapters, which in turn, 
 outline the impact of Russian organized crime in both Russia and the United States; provide an in-depth overview of the varied structures and characteristics of organized crime groups in Russia; analyze trends relating to the modus operandi and the increasingly sophisticated capabilities and transnational reach of Russian organized crime; assess the relevance of Russian organized crime for U.S. foreign policy and foreign investment; present a plan for action and a number of specific recommendations to prevent, deter, combat, and mitigate the threat of Russian organized crime; 
In addition, appendices identify significant Russian organized crime incidents and examine some of the historical roots of the organized crime phenomenon in Russia.

This timely volume examines the rationale for the bilateral U.S.-Japan security relationship in light of post-Cold War realities and the overall East Asian geopolitical environment. Leading analysts on both sides of the Pacific look at the treaty itself, and at existing and potential challenges to the alliance, from the perspective of building a more balanced, sustainable partnership. The discussion is designed to stimulate a much-needed, well-informed public debate to help ensure the alliance's relevance and resilience into the twenty-first century. A blend of short commentaries and longer analytical assessments, the volume is predicated on the assumption that the alliance has served and, if properly managed and maintained, can continue to serve the national security interests of both nations. While most of the authors are committed to maintaining the U.S.-Japan alliance as the linchpin of East Asian security, they offer many different approaches and recommendations

Society is facing an entirely new challenge that cuts across national security, economic security, law enforcement, intelligence, and corporate security: global organized crime. This CSIS report has identified some of the dimensions of the problem: information superhighway vulnerability, counterfeiting of tender and credit cards, money laundering, trade in fissionable materials, drug trafficking and terrorism, and Russian organized crime and international gang activity. Unless we understand the nature and scope of today's problems, we cannot begin to counteract them.

This volume suggests that modern air and space power will be the central building block of a new strategic paradigm. The authors argue that the combination of reach, speed, striking power, survivability, and information superiority conferred by air and space power today favors a "vertical" perspective on the conduct of war over the classic, terrain-bound, "horizontal" perspective. Properly understood and exploited, air and space power will permit the creation of a base of operations located in the third dimension--air and space--that could serve as the foundation for theaterwide operations for all U.S. forces.
