National Security
This text analyzes the history, evolution, and processes of national security policies. It examines national security from two fundamental fault lines--the end of the Cold War and the evolution of contemporary terrorism, dating from the 9/11 terrorist attacks and tracing their path up to the Islamic State (ISIS) and beyond. The book considers how the resulting era of globalization and geopolitics guides policy. Placing these trends in conceptual …
Thinking about national security: Strategy, Policy, and Issues
Perhaps the most basic national security question that U.S. leaders and the body politic continuously face is where and under what circumstances to consider and in some cases resort to the use of armed force to ensure the country's safety and well-being. The question is perpetual--but the answer is not. This text helps students make sense of the ever-changing environment and factors that influence disagreement over national security risks and pol…
Distant Thunder
The main locu of instability, conflict and violence in the post-Cold War world is the periphery - particularly the poorest regions of what used to be called the Third World. Internal wars of secession, struggles for power and chaos in failed or failing states are the dominant forms, expressed in intercommunal or ethnic violence, domestic and international acts of terrorism, and, increasingly, essentially criminal insurgencies with no political ob…

High Technology and National Security: A Preliminary Assessment
This article argues that high technology, defined in terms of the explosion of information gathering and disseminating capability, is becoming a much more important component of national security. At one level, high technology is the driving force behind economic competitiveness and thus economic security. More specifically, five specific national security impact areas are examined: dual-use technologies and their impact on technology transfer; t…

Ballistic Missile Defense and the Strategic Future
Lasers, Charged-Particle Beams, and the Strategic Future
As debate raged over the proposed SALT II agreement and the need for augmenting American strategic forces with sophisticated new weapons like the Missile Experimental (MX),I concerted efforts were underway to produce exotic and even more revolutionary strategic weapons. Given the generic title directed energy transfer (DET) weapons by the new office of the same name within the U.S. Department of Defense, these research efforts center on high-ener…
Current Nuclear Deterrence Thinking: An Overview and Review
There is an active debate in both the academic and policy communities regarding both strategic nuclear doctrine and the American force configuration supporting that doctrine. The major purpose of this review article is to examine the major issues that affect the debate and the solutions proposed to deal with those problems. Since the debate centers on the adequacy of mutual assured destruction (MAD), the discussion begins by reviewing that doctri…
