In this absorbing book Anthony Lott develops a national security analysis that can be used to critique the policies of states. He then examines four disparate security issues engaging policy makers in the United States: the current discourse concerning ballistic missile defense, the war on drugs in Colombia, democratic challenges to economic globalization and the state response, and the US-led war to oust Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.
