Designing Defense for a New World Order
Author: Earl C. Ravenal
Publisher: Cato Institute
ISBN: 1935308858
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
A policy of global intervention, whereby we adopt every country's threats as our own, is the strategic premise of the Bush administration's post-Persian Gulf defense program, argues former Pentagon official Earl C. Ravenal. Ravenal's alternative defense budget, based on a strategy of noninterventionism, would save American taxpayers more than $300 billion over the next five years. It would also phase out such increasingly irrelevant cold-war-era commitments as those to NATO, Japan and South Korea. Given the nature of the emerging international system, what is needed is not a vain effort to impose a global Pax Americana but a new U.S. security strategy appropraite for a "nation among nations" in the post-cold-war era. Ravenal's incisive analysis is certain to stimulate debate on the U.S. defense strategy and America's role in the world.

Producing Security
Author: Stephen G. Brooks
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400841305
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Scholars and statesmen have debated the influence of international commerce on war and peace for thousands of years. Over the centuries, analysts have generally treated the questions "Does international commerce influence security?" and "Do trade flows influence security?" as synonymous. In Producing Security, Stephen Brooks maintains that such an overarching focus on the security implications of trade once made sense but no longer does. Trade is no longer the primary means of organizing international economic transactions; rather, where and how multinational corporations (MNCs) organize their international production activities is now the key integrating force of global commerce. MNC strategies have changed in a variety of fundamental ways over the past three decades, Brooks argues, resulting in an increased geographic dispersion of production across borders. The author shows that the globalization of production has led to a series of shifts in the global security environment. It has a differential effect on security relations, in part because it does not encompass all countries and industries to the same extent. The book's findings indicate that the geographic dispersion of MNC production acts as a significant force for peace among the great powers. The author concludes that there is no basis for optimism that the globalization of production will promote peace elsewhere in the world. Indeed, he finds that it has a net negative influence on security relations among developing countries.
