内容説明

The first edition of The New Era in U.S. National Security relied upon both primary and secondary sources on national security, as well as the author’s first-hand knowledge. In addition to academic sources, chief executive officers of fortune 500 firms, experts on national security within and outside government, investment bankers, and experts in cybersecurity, transnational crime, supply chain logistics, and public policy were interviewed and quoted in the text. These same sources and their reassessments are available for the second edition. The topics covered in the book are emerging issues. Currently, the most reliable body of literature is the property of private entities and classified government documents, which are largely not available to students. By contrast, most course texts are readers that offer a selection of views on diverse but relevant topics, but most have a mere few chapters on new security challenges. Without an informative core text and reference guide, students have to rely upon these compendia, popular news articles, and electronic media for study and research. The second edition of The New Era offers students and instructors a whole cloth, insightful perspective on the dynamic, changing patterns and orientations unleashed by the processes of globalization, technology, and the emerging “Second Cold War” era.
