Synopsis
New geopolitical realities -- including terrorism, pandemics, rogue nuclear states,resource conflicts, insurgencies, mass migration, economic collapse, and cyber attacks -- havecreated a dramatically different national-security environment for America. Twentieth-centurydefense strategies, technologies, and industrial practices will not meet the security requirementsof a post-9/11 world. In Democracy's Arsenal, Jacques Gansler describes thetransformations needed in government and industry to achieve a new, more effective system ofnational defense. Drawing on his decades of experience in industry, government, and academia,Gansler argues that the old model of ever-increasing defense expenditures on largely outmodedweapons systems must be replaced by a strategy that combines a healthy economy, effectiveinternational relations, and a strong (but affordable) national security posture. The defenseindustry must remake itself to become responsive and relevant to the needs of twenty-first-centurysecurity.
