American Defense Policy (9th Edition)A vital text for understanding the twenty-first-century battlefield and the shifting force structure, this book prepares students to think critically about the rapidly changing world they'll inherit.
American Defense Policy, first published in 1965 under the leadership of Brent Scowcroft, has been a mainstay in courses on political science, international relations, military affairs, and American national security for more than 50 years. This updated and thoroughly revised ninth edition, which contains about 30% all-new content, considers questions of continuity and change in America's defense policy in the face of a global climate beset by geopolitical tensions, rapid technological change, and terrorist violence. The book is organized into three parts. Part I examines the theories and strategies that shape America's approach to security policy. Part II dives inside the defense policy process, exploring the evolution of contemporary civil-military relations, the changing character of the profession of arms, and the issues and debates in the budgeting, organizing, and equipping process. Part III examines how purpose and process translate into American defense policy. This invaluable and prudent text remains a classic introduction to the vital security issues the United States has faced throughout its history. It breaks new ground as a thoughtful and comprehensive starting point to understand American defense policy and its role in the world today. |
Culture Shock"This volume highlights the training and education that FAOs experience in the U.S. and around the globe every day to make them one of our Nation's most critical resources. More than that, it illustrates for the reader the many ways; sometimes entertaining, sometimes dangerous, that FAOs create lasting human relationships through respect, patience, cultural understanding and most importantly, building and maintaining trust with our allies, partners, and yes even our strategic competitors." - Charles W. Hooper, Lieutenant General, USA (Retired), U.S. Army Foreign Area Officer
