Covering the transition from the Cold War to an uncertain
post-Cold War era, this volume shows policy makers and political
leaders grappling with the loss of a paradigm that provided
intellectual stability for 50 years. It examines changes in the
security landscape, institutions, weapons, and U.S. military
actions. The volume includes U.S. government documents from 1987 to
1994 covering national security institutions, changing visions of
the international security landscape, post-Cold War East-West
relations, nuclear strategy and arms control, and U.S. involvement
in Central America, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, and Haiti. Each
chapter begins with an introduction to frame the issues, events,
and policy proposals. An introductory chapter establishes a
framework for the study of U.S. national security. The concluding
chapter is a note on primary research sources on the subject.
This volume establishes a sense of history and perspective in
the study and teaching of contemporary national security. A careful
reading of these documents should bring insights into the policy
process along with the meaning of American values, interests, and
national strategy--at least from the perspective of U.S. government
officials. In this respect, the primary documents speak for
themselves.
