"On Patrol with the U.S. Marines in?"

Analyst, Author, & embedded journalist Andrew Lubin lectures on the current international scene and how America needs to adapt to it.

Ten years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq have demonstrated to the world how warfare against the West is best conducted asymmetrically instead of conventionally. The ?enemy? is also changing, as technology and funding enables small irregular groups driven by social-civil-economic woes that are often the root cause of instability to fight against their own and other governments. 

As China muscled past Japan last year to become the world's 2nd-largest economy, prosperous India is set to pass China by 2025 as the world's most populace country. However the majority of the population living in the littorals stretching from Horn of Africa, to Africa, to the E. China Sea lack political, economic, and civil stability. It's from these regions that urban stress, water shortages, education, piracy, unemployment, narcotics, gangs, and religious extremism escapes and threatens global peace and stability, yet it's these same groups so often receptive to American 'soft power.?

Mr. Lubin has 14 embeds in such hotspots as Afghanistan, Haiti, Iraq, and Beirut with the U.S. Marines and he will discuss from his ?boot's-on-the-ground" perspective how counterinsurgency operations are a far more effective method of providing stability in failed states, and the 3rd-world, along with adapting to the new realities of irregular warfare, virtually instantaneous news, and the economics of the upcoming "Asian Century."

A recap of my 3 weeks in Haiti embedded with Marines; we were on the ground in Leogane (epicenter ofthe earthquake) conducting disaster relief and humanitarian operations

With the US Marines in Haiti

Ten years of war in Afghanistan - humanitarian operations in Haiti and Bangladesh; the US Marines operate in obscure parts of the world unknown except for natural disasters and war. Without functioning local governments to provide a semblence of basic services and security; how do the Marines bring stability and order without becoming a permanent part of the landscape?
