eliciting substance from hot air financial market responses to eu summit decisions on european Defense
International Organization, 2010Co-Authors: Michael M Bechtel, Gerald SchneiderAbstract:The results of deliberations in multilateral fora are often considered as ineffective. Decision making in the European Union (EU) and in particular its key intergovernmental body, the European Council, poses no exception. Especially in the domain of EU foreign and security affairs the unanimity requirement governing this institution allegedly allows nationalist governments to torpedo any attempt to build up a credible European Defense force and a unified foreign Policy stance. In this paper, we take issue with the claim that multilateral summits merely result in "hot air" by looking at whether and how decisions made during EU summit meetings affect the European Defense industry. We argue that investors react positively to a successful strengthening of Europe's military component - a vital part of the intensified cooperation within the European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) - since such decisions increase the demand for military products and raise the expected profits in the European Defense industry. Our findings lend empirical support to the view that financial markets indeed evaluate the substance of European Council meetings and react positively to those summit decisions which consolidated EU military capabilities and the ESDP. Each of these substantial Council decisions increased the value of the European Defense sector by about 4 billion Euros on average. This shows that multilateral decisions can have considerable economic and financial repercussions.

"Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats": The Art of Defeating Reactive Jammers in IoT Networks.
arXiv: Signal Processing, 2019Co-Authors: Dinh Thai Hoang, Mohammad Abu Alsheikh, Shimin Gong, Diep N. Nguyen, Eryk Dutkiewicz, Dusit Niyato, Zhu HanAbstract:In this article, we introduce a novel deception strategy which is inspired by the "Borrowing Arrows with Thatched Boats", one of the most famous military tactics in the history, in order to defeat reactive jamming attacks for low-power IoT networks. Our proposed strategy allows resource-constrained IoT devices to be able to defeat powerful reactive jammers by leveraging their own jamming signals. More specifically, by stimulating the jammer to attack the channel through transmitting fake transmissions, the IoT system can not only undermine the jammer's power, but also harvest energy or utilize jamming signals as a communication means to transmit data through using RF energy harvesting and ambient backscatter techniques, respectively. Furthermore, we develop a low-cost deep reinforcement learning framework that enables the hardware-constrained IoT device to quickly obtain an optimal Defense Policy without requiring any information about the jammer in advance. Simulation results reveal that our proposed framework can not only be very effective in defeating reactive jamming attacks, but also leverage jammer's power to enhance system performance for the IoT network.

the european security and Defense Policy nato s companion or competitor
Foreign Affairs, 2002Co-Authors: Philip H Gordon, Robert E Hunter, Simon DukeAbstract:The European Union's new European Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) is a major step toward full European integration, in parallel with progress toward a Common Foreign and Security Policy. The United States supports ESDP - but on the basis that it is created within NATO, separable but not separate from the Alliance, and drawing mainly on NATO's military assets. This book tells the story of ESDP's relationship to NATO - and what must be done to ensure that the storehouse of European security is increased and transatlantic cohesion is preserved.
