An important account of the transforming global security landscape...thought-provoking. --G. John Ikenberry, Foreign Affairs, 10/1/2000 The Brookings Institution Press continues its reputation for excellence with the publication of a number of recent works examining US defense strategy and the American security agenda... This is a must read for scholars and policymakers involved in the study and development of a strategy for international security in the information age. --RHT, Parameters, U.S. Army War College Quarterly, 7/1/2001 John Steinbruner's latest work is the most persuasive argument to date for a radical reconception of contemporary security policy based upon an assessment of what purposes it ought to serve... This is a work of synthesis on a magisterial scale... His assesment is both provocative and original... This book should be at the top of the required reading list for the incoming president and his secretaries of State and Defense. It should be read carefully by everyone in the foreign policymaking establishments of the U.S. alliance. Many might then be persuaded to embrace its vision. Then, and only then, will it truly be possible to begin to increase the security of much of humankind in unprecedented ways. --Lynn H. Miller, Temple University, American Political Science Review, 6/1/2001 ... there is plenty of food for thought in the book. --Richard J. Stoll, Rice University, Journal of Politics, 5/1/2002
