Book Synopsis Improving the Practice of National Security Strategy by : Clark A. Murdock
Download or read book Improving the Practice of National Security Strategy written by Clark A. Murdock and published by Center for Strategic & International Studies. This book was released on 2004 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not all -- or perhaps not many -- national security strategy (NSS) practitioners have done a very good job of formulating and implementing national security strategy. The problem is not the lack of a grand strategy to replace the Cold War policy of containment; rather, it is the uneven effectiveness with which practitioners do their work. Improving the competence of NSS practitioners begins with changing how they think about making and implementing strategy. This volume includes a number of case studies from the post-Cold War era and condenses the lessons learned from them into "do's" and "don'ts" in the exercise of U.S. power. It then synthesizes and integrates the analysis into a checklist intended to help future NSS practitioners do their jobs better.

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.

Book Synopsis Improving the United States National Security Strategy by : Patrick C. Malackowski
Download or read book Improving the United States National Security Strategy written by Patrick C. Malackowski and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis What Can be Done to Make the United States' National Security Strategy More Effective? by : Matthew Atero
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.

Book excerpt: The post-cold war era presented security challenges that at one level are a continuation of the cold war era; at another level, these phenomena manifested in new forms. Whether the issues of economics and trade, transfer of technologies, challenges of intervention, or humanitarian crisis, the countries of the South (previously pejoratively labelled “Third World” or “developing” countries) have continued to address these challenges within the framework of their capabilities and concerns.

Book Synopsis Climate and Social Stress by : National Research Council
Download or read book Climate and Social Stress written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-02-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change can reasonably be expected to increase the frequency and intensity of a variety of potentially disruptive environmental events-slowly at first, but then more quickly. It is prudent to expect to be surprised by the way in which these events may cascade, or have far-reaching effects. During the coming decade, certain climate-related events will produce consequences that exceed the capacity of the affected societies or global systems to manage; these may have global security implications. Although focused on events outside the United States, Climate and Social Stress: Implications for Security Analysis recommends a range of research and policy actions to create a whole-of-government approach to increasing understanding of complex and contingent connections between climate and security, and to inform choices about adapting to and reducing vulnerability to climate change.

This book was released on 2013-05-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for security and the institutionalization of that security in national strategy and its associated documents is becoming a significant concern for nations in the 21st century international system. This need requires the development of national-level strategies that are designed with objectives; the attainment of which can ensure that the conditions necessary for security for a given actor in the international system can be met. The intent of this monograph is to explore the actual processes that nation states employ to craft their national security strategy-related documents. The study aligned individual case studies of nation states conducting their national strategy document formulation processes. These case studies were selected based upon a determination of two primary factors: 1) The nation states in question had developed national security strategy documents that involved participation in the drafting process from more than one department or agency from the executive branch of government...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, the United States has been the dominant force on the global stage. The strength of our national character and our economic and military might cannot be matched, and we have used our position as a force for good, fostering a world order rooted in our values of freedom, human rights, the rule of law, and open markets. The fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s left the U.S. as the sole remaining superpower, and the loss of our competition gradually caused a shift in our national security strategy.America is still the freest, most powerful, and most prosperous nation in all the world. However, over the past two decades, U.S. dominance has increasingly been challenged by numerous rising threats to the U.S.-led global order. These threats point to the reemergence of powerful competition, the likes of which we have not seen since the Cold War, and they require us to reevaluate our national security strategy once again.There is perhaps no bigger threat to continued U.S. dominance than China. For decades now, the prevailing foreign policy consensus on that nation has been misguided. Conventional wisdom was that a narrow strategy of simply integrating China into global markets and facilitating a more robust trading relationship would transition Beijing away from communism and toward freer markets. Instead, China has exploited its opportunities to double down on authoritarianism and use international markets to amass enormous economic and military strength, often by nefarious means. Beijing now leverages this strength to undermine the U.S.-led international order by replacing our leadership with their own distorted worldview. The recent COVID-19 crisis has clearly illustrated the danger of allowing this to happen.Meanwhile, throughout the last decade in particular, Russia has aggressively reasserted itself as a global power with its own clear intent to undermine the U.S.-led international order. Under the leadership of dictator and former KGB agent Vladimir Putin, the Kremlin's goals are to advance authoritarianism both at home and abroad. It has invaded and occupied several neighboring democracies, helped prop up other authoritarian regimes, used its vast natural resources to blackmail its neighbors, and sought to undermine Western democracies, including the U.S., with disinformation campaigns. Russia also maintains a military that is capable of challenging the U.S. and has worked to undermine NATO, the most successful alliance of democracies in the world.Congress has an important, but too often underutilized, role in the development and execution of national security policy. This report by the Republican Study Committee's National Security & Foreign Affairs Task Force presents a comprehensive blueprint for how Congress can fulfill its responsibility and includes more than 130 policy recommendations focused on strengthening America and countering our global threats.
