Pragmatic primacy / Reiss, Mitchell B; Lowenkron, Barry F

Reiss, Mitchell B	Journal Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

THE NEXT administration will confront the paradox of American power: unparalleled strength, but a deep disinclination to exercise leadership. This strength will allow the next president to inherit certain enduring advantages. No competing world power threatens American security. The United States remains the undisputed global leader in military, economic and diplomatic terms, and is likely to be for the foreseeable future. U.S. influence is enhanced by international institutions largely of America’s own creation that favor the rule of law, the free market and representative democracy, and a network of alliances with many of the world’s most powerful countries. The United States faces no global ideological rival that offers a more appealing alternative to a social contract based on individual freedom, economic opportunity and human dignity.

Strategy in a complex world / Gaskarth, Jamie

Gaskarth, Jamie	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

Although it is commonplace to describe today's security environment as ‘complex’, there are still pockets of coherence around which policy-makers can anchor their strategy. Jamie Gaskarth argues that attempts to mirror the supposedly disorderly global security world with a disorderly strategy have led only to confusion, inefficiency and declining public support. Instead, the government needs to grapple with British identity and link this to a coherent narrative about how and why it wants to act in the future.
