Book excerpt: The great struggles of the twentieth century between liberty and totalitarianism ended with a decisive victory for the forces of freedom—and a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy, and free enterprise. In the twenty-first century, only nations that share a commitment to protecting basic human rights and guaranteeing political and economic freedom will be able to unleash the potential of their people and assure their future prosperity. People everywhere want to be able to speak freely; choose who will govern them; worship as they please; educate their children—male and female; own property; and enjoy the benefits of their labor. These values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society—and the duty of protecting these values against their enemies is the common calling of freedom-loving people across the globe and across the ages.

This book was released on 2012-12-07 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States possesses unprecedented-and unequaled-strength and influence in the world. Sustained by faith in the principles of liberty, and the value of a free society, this position comes with unparalleled responsibilities, obligations, and opportunity. The great strength of this nation must be used to promote a balance of power that favors freedom. For most of the twentieth century, the world was divided by a great struggle over ideas: destructive totalitarian visions versus freedom and equality. That great struggle is over. The militant visions of class, nation, and race which promised utopia and delivered misery have been defeated and discredited. America is now threatened less by conquering states than we are by failing ones. We are menaced less by fleets and armies than by catastrophic technologies in the hands of the embittered few. We must defeat these threats to our Nation, allies, and friends. This is also a time of opportunity for America. We will work to translate this moment of influence into decades of peace, prosperity, and liberty. The U.S. national security strategy will be based on a distinctly American internationalism that reflects the union of our values and our national interests. The aim of this strategy is to help make the world not just safer but better. Our goals on the path to progress are clear: political and economic freedom, peaceful relations with other states, and respect for human dignity. And this path is not America's alone. It is open to all. To achieve these goals, the United States will: champion aspirations for human dignity; strengthen alliances to defeat global terrorism and work to prevent attacks against us and our friends; work with others to defuse regional conflicts; prevent our enemies from threatening us, our allies, and our friends, with weapons of mass destruction; ignite a new era of global economic growth through free markets and free trade; expand the circle of development by opening societies and building the infrastructure of democracy; develop agendas for cooperative action with other main centers of global power; and transform America's national security institutions to meet the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century.

Book excerpt: The new US security strategy released by the White House in September 2002, is a remarkable document which requires more analysis than that received in the main media, perhaps partially because of the massive attention given to the Beltway sniper(s). The new strategy would justify pre-emptive strikes for the first time against any countries which the current or future US leadership believe might pose a threat in the future such as China or resurgent Russia or any other country or a group of countries. This bold assertion is justified by the threat of even more miniature weapons of mass destruction coupled with the hatred of America. This important document and the accompanying commentary provide essential and thought provoking reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Security Strategy (NSS) of the United States of America communicates the President's and this nation's grand strategy developed from our national purpose. President Bush published the current NSS in September 2002. This strategy is comprehensive and detailed in many areas, but a careful reading of it shows it lacks a clear vision statement related to the informational instrument of national power. This paper discusses the need to have the President build an information and communications strategy that keeps the American public informed and cognizant of the threat to our national security from militant, Islamic fundamentalists. It will examine the U.S. Code Title 50 requirement that directs the President to complete a NSS and review the 2002 National Security Strategy from an information perspective. It then identifies the current militant Islamic threat to America's security as well as the strategic principles underlying the need to broadly inform the public. Additionally, it confirms the importance of knowing one's threat; discusses the historic precedence of informing the public from the national strategy level to show this war has many similarities to the Cold War waged against the Soviet Union and communism; and examines the recommendations from the 9/11 Commission Report and the Defense Science Board's report on strategic communications on how to improve our foreign and domestic policies. The paper concludes with specific recommendations to change the current security strategy to incorporate a presidential vision for an information strategy, issue a new Presidential Decision Directive to implement the strategy, and keep focused on the threat for the long run.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Security Strategy of the United States of America, September 2002, clearly identifies the necessity for pooling international resources, across all elements of power, to achieve national objectives in the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT). The national strategy is broad in scope, and requires collective international power to accomplish all the Bush administration has set out to do. Failure to achieve significant international cooperation has unbalanced ends, ways and means, and increased risk to achieving the stated strategic objectives. The international community should be able to harness far more resources for combating terrorism than one nation can alone. There is much debate as to the administration's effectiveness in this endeavor. This paper assesses the performance of the Bush administration in applying means, through ways, to achieve GWOT ends, and identifies imbalances in the strategy that have increased strategic risk in Iraq; finds failure by the U.S. to adequately invest in improving its other elements of power to a level that matches its strategic dominance in military power, and to effectively harness international power; and recommends actions the U.S. should take to improve its strategic balance, unite international efforts in the GWOT, and achieve success in reaching national objectives.

Download or read book Making Strategy written by Dennis M. Drew and published by . This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National secuirty strategy is a vast subject involving a daunting array of interrelated subelements woven in intricate, sometimes vague, and ever-changing patterns. Its processes are often irregular and confusing and are always based on difficult decisions laden with serious risks. In short, it is a subject understood by few and confusing to most. It is, at the same time, a subject of overwhelming importance to the fate of the United States and civilization itself. Col. Dennis M. Drew and Dr. Donald M. Snow have done a considerable service by drawing together many of the diverse threads of national security strategy into a coherent whole. They consider political and military strategy elements as part of a larger decisionmaking process influenced by economic, technological, cultural, and historical factors. I know of no other recent volume that addresses the entire national security milieu in such a logical manner and yet also manages to address current concerns so thoroughly. It is equally remarkable that they have addressed so many contentious problems in such an evenhanded manner. Although the title suggests that this is an introductory volume - and it is - I am convinced that experienced practitioners in the field of national security strategy would benefit greatly from a close examination of this excellent book.

Download or read book What Can be Done to Make the United States National Security Strategy More Effective written by Matthew Atero and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The White House's National Security Strategy (NSS) published in September 2002 addresses a myriad of issues and areas. The NSS covers these issues and areas within the context of categories such as "champion aspirations for human dignity," "work with others to defuse regional conflicts," and "expand the circle of development by opening societies and building the infrastructure of democracy." This brings up the question of whether or not the NSS is specific enough to be effective. Thus, if the NSS can not be effective due to the numerous complex and competing issues, is it futile to even go through the process of writing the document. Henry Kissinger discusses this same dilemma when discussing the United States and its foreign policy. Therefore, if it is concluded that the effort to write the NSS is worthwhile, can it be an effective document without some oversight or monitoring at the National level? A look at some personal experiences and elements of the United States Combatant Command, Pacific Command, will demonstrate the potential for disparate and conflicting endeavors causing confusion and ineffectiveness. The NSS states the United States needs to "strengthen alliances to defeat global terrorism and work to prevent attacks against us and our friends?" Yet our efforts in China cause conflict with Japan and our support of Japan causes dissension in South Korea. This problem is further exacerbated by the fact that the United States continually plans how it would defeat China in a major conflict. Another case in point is that relations between India and Pakistan are potentially among the most volatile in South Asia, yet each country falls under the responsibility of a different Combatant Command (US Central Command [CENTCOM] and US Pacific Command [PACOM]). If the USG approach to this critical region is not coordinated and prioritized, will the US find itself vulnerable to threats on the order of another 9/11? As Clark Murdock points out in his book "Improving the Practice of National Security" the days of the cold war strategy mentality of simply stating what needs to be done is gone. Strategy now needs to link into the how as well as the cause and effect of competing national interests to ensure synergy vice disintegration. Therefore in addition to ensuring an effective NSS with oversight, a process or mechanism that compels fusion and coordination is just as vital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goldwater-Nichols Defense Department Reorganization Act of 1986 requires the executive branch to periodically provide written documentation of the United States National Security Strategy (NSS). The George W. Bush administration released its first NSS in September 2002. The NSS starts with a letter from the President and then is organized around nine primary objectives. The effects of 9/11 and the emphasis on global terrorism are unmistakable. The talking heads in the media who focused, their critiques on the overt statement of a policy of preemption missed the forest for the trees. The Bush 43 NSS is an arrogant short-term military focused document that fails to provide a comprehensive strategic vision for applying all the elements of national power to protect and enhance our enduring national interests. This paper justifies that critique by a discussion of misalignment between NSS goals and national interests, flaws with specific NSS objectives, and the need for a greater economic emphasis. Integrated throughout the discussion are general and specific ways to correct our approach to world affairs.

Download or read book From Superpower to Besieged Global Power written by Edward A. Kolodziej and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume argue that the Bush Doctrine, as outlined in the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States, squandered enormous military and economic resources, diminished American power, and undermined America’s moral reputation as a defender of democratic values and human rights. The Bush Doctrine misguidedly assumed that the United States was a superpower, a unique unipolar power that could compel others to accede to its preferences for world order. In reality the United States is a formidable but besieged global power, one of a handful of nations that could influence but certainly not dictate world events. The flawed doctrine has led to failed policies that extend America’s reach beyond its grasp, most painfully evident in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Leading scholars and policy analysts from nine countries assess the impact of the Bush Doctrine on world order, explain how the United States reached its current low standing internationally, and propose ways that the country can repair the untold damage wrought by ill-conceived and incompetently executed security and foreign policies. Contributors focus on the principal regions of the world where they have expertise: Asia, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and Russia. The contributors agree that future security and foreign policies must be informed by the limitations of U.S. economic, cultural, and military power to shape world order to reflect American interests and values. American power and influence will increase only when the United States binds itself to moral norms, legal strictures, and political accords in cooperation with other like-minded states and peoples.

Download or read book Our New National Security Strategy written by James J. Tritten and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1992-09-30 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an analysis of President Bush's Regional Defense Strategy first unveiled in Aspen, Colorado, on August 2, 1990. This strategy involves a mix of active, reserve, and reconstitutable forces, and General Colin Powell's Base Force. If implemented, the new strategy and force structure would return significant U.S. ground and air forces to the continental United States where most would be demobilized. In the event of a major crisis, the United States would rely on active and reserve forces for a contingency response, much as was done for Operation Desert Storm. The new national security strategy is based upon the 25 percent budget cut negotiated with Congress, a greatly depleted Russian threat, and a new international security environment that assumes two-years' warning of a European-centered global war with the former USSR. There are four major critical factors upon which the new strategy depends: (1) the continued decline of the Russians as a threat to world stability; (2) the ability of the intelligence community to meet new challenges; (3) the behavior of the allies and Congress; and (4) the ability of industry to meet new demands. The new strategy is not simply an adjustment to existing defense doctrine or strategy, but rather a fundamental revision of the way the United States has approached defense since 1945. Students and scholars interested in politico-military strategy and government policy will find this book of great interest.
