The National Security Enterprise, Second Edition

"A first-rate addition to the literature and an equally important classroom tool. The National Security Enterprise provides the best one-volume compilation I've seen for understanding intelligence, its internal processes, and the environment in which it operates." — International Journal of Intelligence & Counter Intelligence, reviewing a previous edition or volume

"Edited by two of Washington's most experienced academic observers and policy practitioners, The National Security Enterprise is the 'go-to' source to understand how U.S. national security policy is made and implemented. It is insightful, comprehensive, and up to date." — Robert Art, Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations, Brandeis University

"This impressive volume provides a comprehensive and insightful overview of the vast and complicated machinery of national security policymaking. It is unique in focusing on factors that are so often left out of policy analysis: the institutional players, their interests, and their interactions. It will be indispensable for those seeking to understand how national security decisions are made and implemented." — Steven Miller, Harvard University, Editor-in-Chief of International Security

"This updated edition couldn't be more timely or valuable. As renewed Great Power rivalry, economic nationalism, regional insecurity and technological advances transform the international landscape, the need for thoughtful renovation of U.S. national security decision-making is greater than ever. Drawing on the deep experience of many of the best American national security practitioners, with a thorough grasp of different bureaucratic cultures, this book is a terrific guide." — William Burns, President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former Deputy Secretary of State
