· A discussion of the Department of Homeland Security and changes in the intelligence community
· A survey of intelligence and national security, with special focus on security needs post-9/11
· A review of economic security, diplomacy, terrorism, conventional warfare, counterinsurgency, military intervention, and nuclear deterrence in the changed international setting
· An update of security issues in East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Russia and Central Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean
· New material on globalization, transnational actors, and human security
