Globalization and National Security

This report summarizes themes emerging from The Global Century: Globalization and National Security. Research for these volumes was conducted by a group of 51 scholars and analysts from the United States and abroad, many internationally renowned and others in the early stages of their careers. The goals of the project were to conduct a multidisciplinary inquiry and draw upon a wide range of opinions, perspectives, and insights in ways that fused scholarly research with policy evaluation. Accordingly, the group included former ambassadors, governmental officials, political scientists, economists, international affairs scholars, regional specialists, historians, other social scientists, business professionals, journalists, military experts, strategic planners, policy analysts, and information system experts.

This large group pursued the common agenda of analyzing globalization, its strategic consequences, and its policy implications in their respective fields. The intent of these two volumes is to make a worthy contribution to the literature, to help inform future policy choices, and to stimulate further research on the effects of globalization. Volume I examines the globalizing world as a whole and its impact on strategic, defense, and military choices. Volume II analyzes functional and regional trends.

The accompanying searchable CD-ROM of The Global Century can be accessed using Windows 95, Windows NT, Macintosh, and UNIX operating systems.
