Beyond Containment: Economic Competition in the 1990's
Abstract
This is an article on the nature of future conflicts that directly affect the security interests of the United States. The author suggests that the traditional postwar doctrine of containment of Soviet expansion has entered a new phase that de-emphasizes ideologies and focuses on economic competition. Future problems of a global economic struggle are explored. The author examines the changing nature of Soviet efforts to influence the evolution of world political and economic systems, along with the response required of the U.S. He describes his vision of composition and employment of U.S. military forces for the 1990's Finally, he details the consequences of failure on the part of the U. S. to compete effectively in the new environment.
