Arthur P. Sullivan (Editor)Series: Defense, Security and StrategiesBISAC: POL012000World events since late 2013 have led some observers to conclude that the international security environment is undergoing a shift from the familiar post-Cold War era of the last 20-25 years, also sometimes known as the unipolar moment (with the United States as the unipolar power), to a new and different strategic situation that features, among other things, renewed great power competition and challenges to elements of the U.S.- led international order that has operated since World War II.A shift in the international security environment could have significant implications for U.S. defense plans and programs. This book discusses potential implications for defense and issues for Congress that arise with a shift in the international security environment. It also examines outcomes and key challenges of NATO’s Wales Summit; priorities for 21st century defense; and discusses the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review and defense strategy. (Imprint: Nova)
