Deploying Ourselves [EPUB ebook] 
Islamist Violence, Globalization, and the Responsible Projection of U.S. Force

In Deploying Ourselves, David A. Westbrook puts the case for major reform of US national security. He argues that today’s national security establishment is outdated and entrenched in a model of defence more befitting the post-World War II Cold War era than today’s realities. In a world without military peers, Westbrook argues, the US must re-create its institutions in order to wield influence globally, based on co-operation with other states and groups. Deploying Ourselves includes specific proposals to make US national security institutions more democratically accountable.
