This book studies force, the coercive application of power against
resistance, building from Thomas Hobbes' observation that all
self-contained political orders have some ultimate authority that
uses force to both dispense justice and to defend the polity
against its enemies. This cross-disciplinary analysis finds that
rulers concentrate force through cooperation, conveyance, and
comprehension, applying common principles across history. Those
ways aim to keep foes from concerting their actions, or by
eliminating the trust that should bind them. In short, they make
enemies afraid to cooperate, and now they are doing so in
cyberspace as well.

This monograph focuses upon "regional alignment," viewed by many as
critical if the Army is to remain both relevant and effective in
the 21st century security environment. Despite its title, the
monograph is part of the Strategic Studies Institute's ongoing
"talent management" series. In fact, the authors argue that world
class talent management is a necessary pre-condition to creating an
effective regional alignment strategy for the Army. They identify
several serious challenges to creating a workable regional
alignment of Army units, most of which hinge upon understanding and
liberating the unique talents of individual soldiers and civilians.
They also argue that the Army's current Force Generation Model is
not conducive to creating and maintaining regionally expert units
and must be adjusted accordingly.
