National security is pervasive in government and society, but there
is little scholarly attention devoted to understanding the context,
institutions, and processes the U.S. government uses to promote the
general welfare. The Oxford Handbook of U.S. National Security aims
to fill this gap. Coming from academia and the national security
community, its contributors analyze key institutions and processes
that promote the peace and prosperity of the United States and, by
extension, its allies and other partners. By examining contemporary
challenges to U.S. national security, contributors consider ways to
advance national interests. The United States is entering uncharted
waters. The assumptions and verities of the Washington consensus
and the early post-Cold War have broken down. After 15 years of war
and the inability of two presidents to set a new long-term U.S.
foreign policy approach in place, the uncertainties of the Trump
administration symbolize the questioning of assumptions that is now
going on as Americans work to re-define their place in the world.
This handbook serves as a "how to" guide for students and
practitioners to understand the key issues and roadblocks
confronting those working to improve national security. The first
section establishes the scope of national security highlighting the
important debates to bridge the practitioner and scholarly
approaches to national security. The second section outlines the
major national security actors in the U.S. government, describes
the legislative authorities and appropriations available to each
institution, and considers the organizational essence of each actor
to explain behavior during policy discussions. It also examines the
tools of national security such as diplomacy, arms control, and
economic statecraft. The third section focuses on underlying
strategic approaches to national security addressing deterrence,
nuclear and cyber issues, and multilateral approaches to foreign
policy. The final section surveys the landscape of contemporary
national security challenges. This is a critical resource for
anyone trying to understand the complex mechanisms and institutions
that govern U.S. national security.
