Description
The National Security Enterprise: Navigating the Labyrinth By Roger Z. George and Harvey Rishikof This second edition of The National Security Enterprise provides insight into the operation, missions, and organizational cultures of key national security agencies that shape US national security decision-making. Written by insiders who have worked at the National Security Council, State Department, intelligence community, and other critical government entities, the book offers a unique analysis of how these organizations influence policy. The authors explain how organizational missions and cultures create complex challenges for formulating and implementing coherent national security policies. The updated edition includes new chapters on Congress, the Department of Homeland Security, Treasury, and USAID, as well as changes introduced by the Obama administration and lessons learned from more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq. This book will be of interest to students and career policymakers seeking to understand US national security and foreign policy.
