First named by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address, the Military-Industrial Complex was originally tailored to develop and produce military technologies equal to the existential threat perceived to be posed by the Soviet Union. An informal yet robust relationship between the military and industry, the MIC pursued and won a qualitative, technological arms race but exacted a high price in waste, fraud, and abuse. The author tells here the comprehensive history of the MIC from the Cold War, through the War on Terror, and to the present day. He argues that the MIC is now significantly different than it was when Eisenhower warned of its dangers, still exerting a significant but diminished influence in American life. Focusing on the three decades since the end of the Cold War in 1991, the author explains how a lack of cohesion, rapid change, and historical contingency have transformed America's military-industrial institutions and infrastructure. An authoritative account of America's evolving arsenal since World War II, this book is a dynamic exploration of military preparedness and current events.

The US defense economy is remarkable for a number of reasons -- including sheer size. It receives a significant (albeit decreasing) share of GDP and has a significant international footprint. Its purpose is to provide the resources for national defense -- against a set of complex and capable adversaries. The main players in the defense economy are households and the federal government. The associated interactions determine the resources provided for national defense and their allocation among various defense needs. This Element focuses primarily on interactions between government and industrial suppliers -- within the institutional peculiarities of the defense marketplace. This includes the developments that have determined the course of defense industry consolidation post-Cold War. The authors also highlight the persistent gap between resources available for defense and the means to execute the National Security Strategy. Finally, they offer some tentative thoughts regarding developments likely to shape the defense economy's future--back cover.

This book demonstrates that Russia intends to re-emerge as a full fledged superpower before 2010 that would challenge America and China and potentially threaten a new arms race. Contrary to conventional wisdom, this goal is easily within the Kremlin's grasp, but the cost to the Russian people and global security would be immense. A sophisticated strategy is proposed to dissuade President Vladimir Putin from pursuing this destabilizing course. The book also explains why the Soviet Union imploded, why Western experts missed the signs of the collapse, and how Russia has metamorphosized into an authoritarian regime instead of pursuing a transition to fully democratic free enterprise. A critique of American foreign policymaking is also provided that emphasizes the confusion caused by tempering evidence to conform with public expectations and the failure to secure the national interest in favor of satisfying a consensus of particular special interests.
