| Summary: |
'Where the Evidence Leads' develops a new theory of 'empirical realism' to enable the United States to respond more effectively to rising security threats than do present policies. It shows that more US security benefits are likely to result from maximizing the 'causes' or correlates of peace than from maximizing US military power, the usual recommendation of US policymakers and 'political realists.' Ironically, a global grand strategy for human security, with US national security folded into it, is likely to produce more security for the United States than a national security policy pursued as an end in itself. Global human security policies can achieve sustainable peace in contexts where a national grand strategy for US security often fails. |
