Though threats to American security have changed dramatically in the last decade, U.S. defense policy and military forces look a lot like they did during the closing days of the cold war. The new administration has promised to make significant changes to U.S. defense spending, yet no book, until now, has explored the options and implications of each approach.Future Visions for U.S. Defense Policy, a revised and updated Council Policy Initiative, explores these alternatives to U.S. defense policy through four "presidential" speeches. The first policy paper calls for an upgrade of forces with a 10 percent spending increase; the second argues for an increase in technological spending without raising military spending; the third stresses the low-level threats from terrorists, civil wars, and ethnic conflicts and relies mainly on cooperation with allies and international organizations; the fourth wants to maintain current military capabilities and spending. This book is required reading for all members of the new administration and anyone else concerned with America's national security.
