Download Avoiding Trivia: The Role of Strategic Planning in American Foreign Policy AudioBook Free
Strategic planning needs to be a more vital part of America's overseas policymaking. While thousands of troops are employed in combat and homeland security concerns abound, long-term coordination of goals and resources would seem to be to be of paramount importance. An alteration in presidential administration brings the trust that tactical planning will play an elevated role in U.S. overseas insurance policy. Can policy organizers - in the Pentagon, State Department, Treasury, NSC, and National Intelligence Council - rise to the task? Indeed, is tactical planning a practical principle in 21st-century overseas policy? These essential questions guide this eye-opening e book. The contributors include many key figures from the past few decades of overseas insurance policy and planning: Andrew Erdmann, Peter Feaver, Aaron Friedberg, David F. Gordon, Richard Haass, William Inboden, Bruce Jentleson, Steven Krasner, Jeffrey Legro, Daniel Twining, Thomas Wright, and Amy Zegart. The e book is posted by Brookings Organization Press.
