The Last COIN Lecture

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict Studies, Security, Counterinsurgency Training Center Kabul, language: English, comment: This paper was my last presentation at the Counterinsurgency Training Center in Kabul in Feb 2010. It is based on historical and contemporary analysis. , abstract: Science, History and Art all have something in common: they all depend on metaphor, on the recognition of patterns, and the realization that something is like something else to focus attention on a vantage point. On where we have been. We only know our future by the past we project into it; in a sense our history is all we have.
