In Pursuit of Prosperity provides a much needed exploration of
the evolution of environmental sustainability in U.S. foreign
policy.
Through expert analysis of nine countries and regions of
strategic importance, David Reed and his stellar team of experts in
foreign policy and environmental affairs identify emerging threats
to the prosperity and national security of the United States. They
assert that U.S. foreign policy must shift away from its
100-year-old focus on obtaining energy and mineral inputs for the
industrial economy. In the new millennium, U.S. foreign policy must
be geared toward ensuring the prosperity of the country s trading
and political partners around the globe. To the degree that our
partners economies and social stability are threatened by the
natural resource scarcities and environmental change unfolding
within their borders and in neighboring countries, threats to U.S.
prosperity and national security increase proportionately.
Directed to U.S. foreign policy makers, the intelligence and
security communities, and influential think tanks and research
organizations, the book proposes specific recommendations the U.S.
government should embrace to respond to the disruption of global
supply chains, social instability in partner countries, disruptive
impacts on regional relations, and expansion of illegal trade and
criminal networks. This unique focus establishes "In Pursuit of
Prosperity" as a seminal work in understanding the challenges
facing the United States in this period of global environmental
change. "
