National Security for a New Era [with MySearchLab & eText Access Code]

by Donald M. Snow

"Analyzes the history, evolution, and processes of national security policies " This text examines national security from two fundamental fault lines--the end of the Cold War and the 9/11 terrorist attacks--and considers how the resulting era of globalization and geopolitics guides policy. Placing this trend in conceptual and historical context and following it through military, semi-military, and non-military concerns, "National Security for a New Era" treats its subject as a nuanced and subtle phenomenon that encompasses everything from the nation to the individual.
