Sinopsis

This monograph analyzes the effects of globalization on the international system as reflected in the changing nature of war. The difficulties that the United States leadership is having with creating and communicating a strategy for the Global War on Terror is indicative of inadequacies within the Westphalian Paradigm for conducting analysis and research of the international system.

An analysis of the differences between the two attacks highlights the differences between World War II and the Global War on Terror and the changes that globalization has caused on the international system in general. Analyzing the traditional American concept of war shows that three aspects of war have undergone significant changes within the past fifty years. State-on-state war has become the anomaly with United States military forces conducting operations other than war more frequently than they have in the past.

The increase in technology in the form of the internet and satellite news has allowed individuals from all over the world to become more connected, sharing ideas and information at a pace that is unrivaled in history while being able to influence perception and policy of other statThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
