On August 24-25, 2010, the National Defense University held a conference titled “Economic Security: Neglected Dimension of National Security?” to explore the economic element of national power. This special collection of selected papers from the conference represents the view of several keynote speakers and participants in six panel discussions. It explores the complexity surrounding this subject and examines the major elements that, interacting as a system, define the economic component of national security.

Among the unexpected byproducts of the United States' "victory" in the Cold War is a certain nostalgia for the old world order that crumbled so quickly. At least the nation knew where it stood in the post-World War II bipolar world. Today, the familiar guideposts are gone, and the national quest for new ones range as far back as the early 1900s. Is there a previous era that can tell us what to do now? While the answer to that question is "no," there are lessons and ideas from various segments of the United States' past that will stand the country in good stead as it develops a national security strategy for the 1990s. The first question to ask is as follows: What is the international environment in which this strategy will operate? The world power structure appears to be shifting to a more diffuse, multipolar configuration. The situation is still in flux, however, and at present the United States stands alone as the state with superpower status in all spheres. The USSR retains very substantial military power, but it is rapidly shedding its empire and is clearly not an economic power. Germany and Japan are struggling with the question of whether superpower status can be based on economic power along. The emergence of a unified Europe would change the equation again. If one narrows the focus to regional problems, various other states, including China, become necessary players. Despite its superpower status, the relative power of the United States globally has declined in the past 20 years. Conflict appears inevitable in the current environment, although much more likely on a regional rather than global scale. Whether it is good for the national character is arguable. Part of the reason conflict exists is that power remains the dominant factor in relations between states. But while the environment has changed, basic U.S. interests have not. Overall, the author believes the United States should follow a modified balance of power approach.

This book is an analysis of President Bush's Regional Defense Strategy first unveiled in Aspen, Colorado, on August 2, 1990. This strategy involves a mix of active, reserve, and reconstitutable forces, and General Colin Powell's Base Force. If implemented, the new strategy and force structure would return significant U.S. ground and air forces to the continental United States where most would be demobilized. In the event of a major crisis, the United States would rely on active and reserve forces for a contingency response, much as was done for Operation Desert Storm. The new national security strategy is based upon the 25 percent budget cut negotiated with Congress, a greatly depleted Russian threat, and a new international security environment that assumes two-years' warning of a European-centered global war with the former USSR. There are four major critical factors upon which the new strategy depends: (1) the continued decline of the Russians as a threat to world stability; (2) the ability of the intelligence community to meet new challenges; (3) the behavior of the allies and Congress; and (4) the ability of industry to meet new demands. The new strategy is not simply an adjustment to existing defense doctrine or strategy, but rather a fundamental revision of the way the United States has approached defense since 1945. Students and scholars interested in politico-military strategy and government policy will find this book of great interest.
