From "Defending Forward" To A "Global Defense-in-Depth": Globalization And Homeland Security

By Antulio J. Echevarria II and Bert B. Tussing

Much of today's defense literature calls for new ways of thinking, ways that appreciate the challenges of a new millennium. Yet, we find surprisingly little that is new in our nation's current strategy documents, particularly those regarding homeland security. Ideas that helped us achieve victory in the 20th century--an age marked by the Cold War and industrial-age thinking--may only hinder us as we strive for strategic success in an era shaped more and more by the forces of globalization. With this concern in mind, Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J. Echevarria II and Professor Bert Tussing have examined the scope and substance of our National Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS). Disturbingly, they find that the NSHS fails to address the challenges that globalization poses for the security of the American homeland.
