Defining and Defending America's Vital Interest
Abstract
Instability occurring in various regions of the world impacts United States economic interests. The relationship of the unstable area to American economic interest determines the degree of this impact. Correspondingly, as American economic interest increases so does the degree to which America is willing to use force and the level of violence that force is allowed to employ. In the post-Cold War period this thesis requires a refocus of American institutions that prepare, commit, control, effect or impact the use of military force.
