tailieunhanh - Water and Energy Futures in an Urbanized Asia

This sustained defence concerns the physical safety of citi- zens, territory and interests, legal culture and liberty. It will be played out in many theatres, and will cover many policy domains that have traditionally been kept separate from each other. Understanding how different matters are interrelated is a very important first step in beginning to be able to address them effectively. It will require great patience, nerve and tenacity; it will de- mand both a willingness to strike hard with military force when necessary, and a determination not to succumb to the temptation to compromise one’s own values – a principle aim. | CSIS REPORT Water and Energy Futures in an Urbanized Asia Sustaining the Tiger A Report of the Global Strategy Institute Center for Strategic and International Studies Edited by Erik R.
