Abstract
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War — and then the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 — transformed the task of American foreign and defense policymaking. This book outlines the dimensions of that transformation and sketches new tools for dealing with the policy challenges-from modeling and gaming, to planning based on capabilities rather than threats, to personnel planning and making use of “best practices” from the private sector.
