Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can policy makers achieve national security goals through economic tools? Can state conflicts be fought out in economic battlefields? How do you stabilize and rebuild a country recently defeated in military combat? Can security aims be accomplished using economic policy tools--tools short of military action? National security questions are fundamentally economic. National governments have at their disposal many economic instruments used for national security such as economic sanctions and foreign aid, international trade, international finance and efforts to attack the sources of funding for international terrorism. This book examines the economic policies at available to a head of state and addresses how best to measure the success of these tools. Detailed case studies throughout the book allow readers to understand the decision-making process and how to craft policies designed to influence specific outcomes. The book surveys policies currently used as well as those that may not be appreciated for their national security application. The first part of the book gives an overview of basic analytical tools. It examines microeconomics applied to international "actors": autocrats and leaders in democracies. The second part looks at the "arsenal" of economic tools: sanctions, aid, finance, trade, courts, etc. Case studies are examined to provide a way forward in tackling the war on terrorism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the Cold War and the associated dramatic changes in the geopolitical environment have led many observers to conclude that much of our past thinking about U.S. national security interests and policies is now outmoded and that a fundamental rethinking of these interests and policies is required. In particular, the notion is becoming widespread that economic factors and concerns will play a more prominent role in defining and pursuing U.S. national security objectives. The authors' aim in convening the conference was to advance understanding of the emerging 'economic dimensions' of U.S. national security policymaking. The aim of this report is the same. It is meant as a contribution to the task of defining a useful frame of reference for what will undoubtedly be a continuing discussion of the relation between economics and national security. Although it is not intended as a summary of conference proceedings, this report draws heavily on the ideas and hypotheses put forward during the conference. In accordance with the ground rules established at the conference, the authors have not attributed any of the ideas noted in this report to particular conference participants. They have tried to retain the exploratory and speculative tone of the conference discussions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National security, a topic routinely discussed behind closed doors by Washington’s political scientists and policy makers, is believed to be an insider’s game. All too often this highly specialized knowledge is assumed to place issues beyond the grasp—and interest—of the American public. Author D. Robert Worley disagrees. The U.S. national security system, designed after World War II and institutionalized through a decades-long power conflict with the Soviet Union, is inadequate for the needs of the twenty-first century, and while a general consensus has emerged that the system must be transformed, a clear and direct route for a new national security strategy proves elusive. Furnishing the tools to assist in future national security reforms, Orchestrating the Instruments of Power articulates and synthesizes the concepts of America’s economic, political, and military instruments of power.
