Managing National Security in the Information and Terrorism Age

Managing National Security in the Information and Terrorism Age The United States does not have a clearly defined national security strategy for the 21st century. This problem has its roots in a failure, which precedes 9/11, to come to grips with the fundamentally different nature of the global strategic environment. Stating that we are “at war with terrorism” may be correct at some levels, but it fails to identify an underlying strategic imperative around which we can build a comprehensive organizing framework to protect and promote our security both at home and abroad. Terrorism and other critical threats emerge from a failure and weakness of legitimate governance. A grand strategy focused on the promotion of legitimate governance and the expansion of the global community of legitimately governed states would provide the organizing framework for managing national security. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Forum de Gruyter

Abstract

The United States does not have a clearly defined national security strategy for the 21st century. This problem has its roots in a failure, which precedes 9/11, to come to grips with the fundamentally different nature of the global strategic environment. Stating that we are “at war with terrorism” may be correct at some levels, but it fails to identify an underlying strategic imperative around which we can build a comprehensive organizing framework to protect and promote our security both at home and abroad. Terrorism and other critical threats emerge from a failure and weakness of legitimate governance. A grand strategy focused on the promotion of legitimate governance and the expansion of the global community of legitimately governed states would provide the organizing framework for managing national security.
