The Alpha Barrier was officially featured at a Roundtable
discussion facilitated by the National Defense University,
Washington D.C. on April 7, 2010. On that occasion, strategic
planners, policy personnel and decision makers representative of
the highest levels of government discussed and offered perspectives
on the arguments put forward in the book. Within 2 days of the
Roundtable, two strategically timed and calibrated visits were
launched to countries that were identified in the publication as
key geo-strategic players that should be of immediate concern to
the United States, 1. The visit of Defence Secretary Robert Gates
in April. The visit of Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton in June
The successive itineraries were specifically intended to bolster
and consolidate accords in the area of defense cooperation, to
reaffirm the commitment of the Obama administration to the
promotion of cooperation and partnership and to render tangible
support for the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative in the form of
a $73 million Congressional budgetary allocation. The latter would
fuel a collective regional offensive against the trafficking of
drugs and firearms and effectively stymie the cross-border flows of
illicit proceeds derived from the drug trade. These high-profiled
visits have lent salience and relevancy to the arguments advanced
in The Alpha Barrier...that there is a political imperative for the
Obama administration to reinvigorate relationships between the
United States and specific players in the south and thereby redress
the legacy of diffused interest that typified the post 9/11 era.
This compels the application of a new brand of statecraft that is
compatible with a drastically altered strategic environment. Key
components of this statecraft must necessarily be multilateralism
and consensual decision making. The selective delivery of aid
packages is merely a first step. The Alpha Barrier is an insightful
book that touches on the above topics in detail, and offers
clear-minded discussion on these very important issues.
