The Future Security Environment
Washington, DC: GPO, 1988. Quarto, 184, wraps, figures, tables, notes, appendices, some creasing to cover edges. Working group members included Dennis Ross, Notra Trulock, and Fritz Ermarth. Topics covered include major trends (economic, demographic, AIDS, military budgets, and technology), the changing security environment, possible shocks or discontinuities (including alliance shifts, nuclear use, U.S. loss of bases, U.S. setback or defeat, technological surprise, and economic shock), and issues (including Asia and other new contingencies, the strategic dispositions of the rising power, political and economic relations with the Soviets, new military technologies, U.S. mobilization base, military uses of space, and U.S. basing structure). There are three appendices: economic and military projections, emerging technologies and future war: a Soviet view, and history of U.S. strategic planning efforts. This report gives only limited attention to low-intensity conflict, smaller regional wars, insurrection, and terrorism. Condition: very good.
