Title: Globalization: Implications for U.S. National Security
Authors: Robert Shuey, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: Many policy options have been suggested that may offer limited means for exploiting the opportunities and ameliorating the problems created by globalization and related developments. Some options that are likely to receive congressional consideration include: modifying defense R&D, procurement, force structure, forward deployment, and information security. The changing environment could also prompt the United States to reexamine its alliance relationships, industrial and work force policies, nonproliferation and export controls programs.
