Exporting security : international engagement, security cooperation, and the changing face of the US military / Derek S. Reveron. - Second edition. - xx, 247 pages ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Beyond warfare -- Military engagement, strategy, and policy -- Resistance to military engagement -- Demilitarizing combatant commands -- Security cooperation -- Promoting maritime security -- Implications for the force -- From confrontation to cooperation.
This is a thoroughly revised second edition of a book that we published in 2010. Exporting Security is about the US military's role in military-to-military partnerships, such as helping to support and train foreign militaries, and about the US military's role in missions other than war, ranging from diplomacy, to development, to humanitarian assistance after disasters or during epidemics. Reveron is a proponent of these non-warfighting missions because he views them as an economical way to promote human security and regional security in trouble spots, which he says is in the US national interest. He also sees these efforts as making it less likely that the US will feel compelled to intervene directly in hot spots around the globe if our partners can maintain their own security or if humanitarian disasters can be averted. This second edition will take into account the Obama administration's foreign policy, the poor legacy of training the Iraqi army, the implications of more assertive foreign policies by Russia and China, and the US military's role in recent humanitarian crises such as the Ebola epidemic in West Africa--
