Alan Sabrosky is a retired Marine officer and former director of the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute.[1] His academic publications mainly focused on alliance systems, prisoners of war and unionization in the United States military.[2]
Background
He has an advanced degree from the University of Michigan. He worked at the Foreign Policy Research Institute for most of the 1970s and he was appointed director of FPRI in 1981. He has taught at Catholic University and Georgetown University. He left FPRI in 1982.[2]
Alliance theory
Sabrosky's work on alliance theory showed that a conflict escalates when a major power intervenes in a war between a minor state and another major state.[3] Sabrosky has identified three types of conflicts in this analysis: "localized wars" between the original belligerents, "expanded wars" which include several belligerents, and enlarged wars that include a major power on both sides of the conflict.[4]
Unionization of the military
In the book Blue Collar Soldiers:Unionization and the U.S. Military Sabrosky, who edited the volume, states that "military unions are simply too great a risk for a political democracy" adding that it would be "unwise to expect unions not to act like unions over the long term, and in doing so call into question the basis of our national security".[5]
Controversy
Sabrosky has been critical of those who serve in the IDF, but not in the U.S. armed forces. Daniel Flesch, a former IDF paratrooper, has called Sabrosky a conspiracy theorist and criticized him for writing that "a large majority of American Jews...espouse a form of political bigamy called dual loyalty".[6]
Anti-Defamation League named him as a key figure in anti-Semitic 9/11 conspiracy theories.[7][8]
