Americans, The Economy and National Security: Opportunity and Influence in the 21st Century

Abstract

Events of the past few years have fundamentally altered the international balance of power and offer unprecedented opportunities for American leadership. George Bush, in his preface to the August 1991 National Security Strategy of the United States wrote of a "new world order." He described "an aspiration and an opportunity... to build a new international system in accordance with our own values and ideals."1 The United States, as the remaining superpower, is ideally positioned to assume this role in a new world order by virtue of its historical legacy, resources, global ties, prestige, institutions and power.
