Opis

This monograph will address two juxtaposed themes: first, the primacy of state sovereignty, the founding assumption of contemporary international relations, embodied by the principles of Westphalia; and second the assertion arising out by globalization that a conventionally focused military designed to protect those principles seems to be increasingly anachronistic in a globalized, interdependent world. The thesis of this paper is that globalization and non-state actor influence will continue, but so will the sovereignty of nation states, with nationalism and various other ideologies remaining an over-riding value and belief system for the foreseeable future on the world stage requiring the US military to always be ready to conduct decisive, conventional warfare.
