During the Cold War, American national security seemed clearly defined: to protect against the overarching threat of the Soviet Union and Communist expansion. But with the demise of Communism, America must reconsider its role in the world as dramatically as it did after victory in World War II. As the only real superpower, how should we use our military strength? What are the lessons of the Persian Gulf War? How and when do we cut back on our defense and national security establishment? In the New World Order a country's social cohesion and economic strength at home are increasingly important determinants of its success. To what extent does America need to reconsider its national security in domestic terms - i.e., improving economic competitiveness and learning to live within its means? In this new collection, sponsored by the American Assembly and the Council on Foreign Relations, a group of leading experts assesses the changing conception of national security in the 1990s and its implications for American policy at home and abroad.

In this new collection, sponsored by the American Assembly and the Council on Foreign Relations, a group of leading experts assesses the changing conception of national security in the 1990s and its implications for American policy at home and abroad.
With the end of the Cold War and the USSR, what should be the future focus of U.S. national security policy? This expansive collection of essays approaches the issue from four overlapping directions: from the concept of national security to its specific dimensions through visions of the new international order to the realities of global events. An impressive array of contributors including Kissinger, Wolfowitz, Inman, Odom, May, and Mearsheimer brings together academic, foreign service, military, and intelligence expertise. Although there's no all encompassing conclusion here, it is a step toward finding America's place in an unpredictable world.
