Download or read book Can America Remain Committed written by David G. Haglund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve months that spanned the period between the early springtimes of 1991 and 1992 may well turn out to constitute the most important year for American foreign and security policy in half a century. Encasing the dawning of a new and different security era, like macabre parentheses, were two columns of black smoke-that of 1991 over the newly liberated Kuwait, and that of 1992 over the embattled district of South-Central Los Angeles. Within these acrid temporal brackets unfolded a set of developments of utmost significance for American foreign and security policy and for the very meaning of the country's external commitments.

Book Challenges to American National Security in the 1990s

Download or read book Challenges to American National Security in the 1990s written by M. Nacht and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade of the 1990s offers a chance to build a new and better international order. What policy choices will this decade pose for the United States? This wide-ranging volume of essays imaginatively addresses these crucial issues. The peaceful revolutions of 1989-1990 in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe have swept away the foundations of the Cold War. The Eastern European nations are free; Europe is no longer divided; Germany is united. The Soviet threat to Western Europe is ending with the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the withdrawals and asymmetrical cuts of Soviet forces. And U.S.-Soviet rivalry in the Third World is giving way to cooperation in handling conflicts, as in Iraq and elsewhere. Much, of course, remains uncertain and unsettled. What sort of Soviet Union will emerge from the ongoing turmoil, with what political and economic system and what state structure? How far and how soon will the Eastern Euro pean states succeed in developing pluralist democracies and market economies? Are the changes irreversible? Certainly there will be turmoil, backsliding, and failures, but a return to the Cold War hardly seems likely.

Book Security Studies for the 1990s

Download or read book Security Studies for the 1990s written by Richard H. Shultz and published by Potomac Books. This book was released on 1993 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The United States is grappling with a new security framework to replace the structure of the Cold War era. American policymakers face a host of challenges, including regional conflicts, ethnic tensions, and weapons proliferation, that commanded little attention in the past. And tomorrow is likely to bring new concerns barely on today's horizon." "Despite these changes, the study of national security remains largely a creature of the Cold War. The security studies discipline needs to be overhauled. But how should it be revised so that tomorrow's citizens and experts are equipped to understand and help manage new challenges?" "One option is to downgrade security studies and divert educational resources elsewhere. Another is to redefine the subject to include the study of an all encompassing list of international problems. The third choice is to retain basic definitions, concepts, and subjects, while also making significant adjustments. Security Studies for the 1990s addresses all three options." "This book is the first to reexamine security studies in the post-Cold War era. Scholars and directors from leading security studies programs representing a cross section of viewpoints on foreign affairs discuss what new material needs to be taught and which courses and concepts should be recast. Each chapter provides an indepth review of a major security studies course, proposing needed changes and a model syllabus. Subjects include intelligence policy, global environmental problems, the causes and termination of wars, and collective security. A chapter on the teaching of ethics, a subject often neglected in the past, is also featured."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Facing the Future written by Aspen Strategy Group (U.S.) and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1991 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout 1989 and 1990 the world was treated to a succession of dramatic and far-reaching political events. The revolution in Eastern Europe, the first rays of hope for change in the Soviet Union, the elections in Nicaragua, the unbanning of anti-apartheid groups in South Africa, and the invasion of one Arab state by another have taught us that the status quo is anything but static. The enormous and unforeseen shifts in global politics present the United States with enormous and unforeseen challenges with which it will have to grapple in the 1990s. This volume examines the current trends in global politics, and the ways in which they will inevitably bear on the diplomatic, military and economic future of the United States. Co-published with the Aspen Strategy Group.

Book American Security Strategy in Asia  Time for a Change

Download or read book American Security Strategy in Asia Time for a Change written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background The day was April 19, 1990. The setting was Room SD-106 in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, the huge hearing room of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Senators Nunn, Levin, Dixon, Wirth, Shelby, Warner, Thurmond, McCain and Gorton were all present to receive testimony and a report from Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Mr. Paul Wolfowitz, on the future of the U.S. military presence in Asia. The report presented by Mr. Wolfowitz, entitled " A Strategic Framework For the Asian Pacific Rim: Looking Toward the 21st Century", was vintage National War College core curriculum material. The report surveyed the historical strategic environment, analyzed the U.S. regional role and objectives, and offered a strategy for managing U.S. military resources in Asia in the 1990s and beyond. Despite revolutionary changes in both the global and regional security environment, Mr. Wolfowitz and his DOD associates proposed no fundamental changes in U.S. military strategy in Asia. The longstanding military strategy that incorporates forward-deployed forces and bilateral security arrangements will remain the two pillars of America's security strategy for Asia. This "steady as she goes" approach, to quote Capt. Marry Afford, translates into a substantially unchanged U.S. security strategy for Asia. The only changes in the extant strategy proposed by Mr. Wolfowitz -- gradual force drawdowns and streamlining of bases -- simply tinkers with the existing framework.
