Part Three:

National Security Policy and Policymaking

Defense Policy

Brodie, Bernard, Strategy in the Missile Age (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1959).

Chapter ten deals with the economics of strategy. It provides a review of a number of complicated questions that arise from the need to reconcile strategy and economics.

Brown, Harold, Thinking About National Security: Defense and Foreign Policy in a Dangerous World (Boulder, CO: Westview Press, 1983).

Outlines policies to counter the Soviet threat. The former Secretary of Defense argues for a national security policy that integrates political, economic, and military strategies and for reduced dependence on foreign energy supplies. A chapter on "Economic Policies and National Security" discusses the economic impact of military spending and the role of foreign economic policy in U.S.-Soviet competition.

Brown, Seyom, "An Alternative to the Grand Design," World Politics 17 (January 1965): 232-242.

Formulates alternative alliance arrangements to the Kennedy/Johnson concept of the "Grand Design" for Atlantic Partnership. Rather than formulating U.S. policy toward Europe as a single entity, Brown suggests a North Atlantic Concert based on a web of special relationships in trade and defense.

Caileo, David P., Harold van B. Cleveland, and Leonard Silk, The Dollar and the Defense of the West," Foreign Affairs 66 (Spring 1988): 846-862.

The authors advocate a "devolution" of U.S. commitments and more burdensharing on the part of Europe as an effective way to decrease U.S. budget deficits and stabilize the U.S. economic and geopolitical position.

Clark, John J., The New Economics of National Defense (New York: Random House, 1966).

An overview of the applications of micro-economic theory to war and defense issues, this text includes chapters on systems analysis; game theory; economic theories of conflict; economic warfare; and war and economic progress.

Coffey, Kenneth J., Manpower for Military Mobilization (Washington, D.C.: American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, 1978).

Attributes the reduced U.S. capability to respond to a major European conventional conflict to the adoption of an All-Volunteer Force. Outlines possible corrective measures and briefly examines their financial and political costs. Emphasizes the coordination of all aspects of mobilization.

Fischer, Dietrich, Preventing War in the Nuclear Age (Totowa, NJ: Rowman & Allanheld, 1984).

Emphasizes independent measures to avoid war, including a no-first-use policy, non-military defense, and defenses against economic and psychological pressures. Includes a brief analysis of the costs of such a defense program.

Gansler, Jacques S., "Needed: A U.S. Defense Industrial Strategy," International Security 12 (Fall 1987): 45-62.

The way to achieve a strengthened defense posture while improving the nation's long-term economic competitiveness is to develop an integrated, national industrial strategy, the first step of which would be a defense industrial strategy. Concludes that the industrial base must be made a key part of U.S. national security strategy.

Gill, Timothy, Industrial Preparedness: Breaking with an Erratic Past (Washington, D.C.: National Defense University Press, 1984).

In this monograph, Gill argues that the uneven record of U.S. industrial preparedness in the twentieth century has caused great expense and hindered operational flexibility. He calls for a new approach to industrial planning for defense and stresses the need for further institutionalization.

Hart, Albert G., Defense and the Dollar: Federal Credit and Monetary Policies (New York: The Twentieth Century Fund, 1953).
