Appearances by:

Barnett, Thomas P. Professor - U.S. Naval War College

Summary:

In a three-hour Power Point presentation Professor Barnett takes a global perspective that integrates political, economic and military elements in a model for the post-September 11 world. He argues that terrorism and globalization have combined to end the great-power model of war that has developed over 400 years, since the Thirty Years War. Instead, he divides the world into an increasingly expanding "Functioning Core" of economically developed, politically stable states integrated into global systems and a "Non-Integrating Gap," the most likely source of threats to U.S. and international security. Professor Barnett uses this map to call for a new system for deployment of the U.S. armed forces. Professor Barnett is the author of The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-First Century, published by Putnam Publishing Group. In the book he described the changing natures of war, security, and foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. He explained a theory of the effects of globalization that combines security, economic, political, and cultural factors to forecast future military needs. He also uses autobiographical elements to explain the behind the scenes workings of the Pentagon and how his PowerPoint presentation has been used.

Hi Tom,

I think you'll be pleased to know that I just ordered 41 copies of The Pentagon's New Map on Amazon to send to the 41 executives I met with at the CIO forum this week.

Your speech was electrifying. It was a much discussed subject at dinners and lunches. I figured it would be perfect way to start the follow-up process from these business meetings. Even those who didn't attend the speech heard enough about it they will be pleased to receive this book.

Thanks again for the great presentation.

Paul

FYI: I have been telling friends and others 2 things about Iraq I saw reflected in your speech:

1) Where is it written that Iraq has to be one nation? It is better to split it up and we just securel the oil fields to ensure each nation gets its fair share. I believe the Sunnis will quickly kick out the terrorists and insurgents if they have a country to build. Even the Bagdad problem can be dealt with. There is a river running through the middle ... helloo!! Sunnis on the left, Shiites on the right, and just one bridge. Mission accomplished!

2) The war was won 4 years ago. It is an occupation with resistance. If only Bush would change the rethoric from war to occupation it would be so much easier to get out. Indeed, it is far easier emotionally to end an occupation than to end a war without having clearly won it. The U.S. just can't deal with that (yet). Why Bush decided to keep calling it a war is beyond me. He wasted the opportunity to claim a war victory.
