For over two decades, the American Foreign Policy Council (AFPC) has played an important role in the U.S. foreign policy debate. Founded in 1982, AFPC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing primary source information and policy options to those who make or influence the national security and foreign policy of the United States, facilitating dialogue between American statesmen and their counterparts in other countries, and fostering the acceptance and development of representative institutions, civil societies, and free market economies throughout the world. AFPC is widely recognized as a source of timely, insightful analysis on issues of foreign policy, and works closely with members of Congress, the Executive Branch and the policymaking community. It is staffed by noted specialists in foreign and defense policy, and serves as a valuable resource to officials in the highest levels of government.

A bullet hitting a bullet. That is the simplest explanation of how missile defense supporters envision their project working. An enemy would launch an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at the United States; we would detect and track it; then we would launch an interceptor that would ram into the oncoming missile and destroy it entirely. Accompany this image with lots of visuals taken from the movie Star Wars-- explosions in space and the like-- and you have the beginnings of a hypothetical missile shield. This simplistic scenario, however, leaves out many of the concerns and nuances surrounding missile defense, many of which existed when efforts began 60 years ago and still continue to this day. This issue has become highly partisan and a political litmus test for both sides. Questions swirl around missile defense's technology: Is it developing fast enough? Are the tests realistic and free from fraud and distortion? Can we depend upon it to enhance U.S. national security? The continually growing costs of a missile defense system cause some to wonder if there is a better way to spend money allocated for the country's defense. Congressional overseers worry that missile defense is ducking the reporting requirements to which all other defense programs are beholden. The effect of missile defense on U.S. allies is often overlooked, while the consequences of it on missile proliferation are frequently downplayed. Finally, the link between missile defense and space weapons is both simultaneously solidifying and becoming ambiguous, which should force a discussion of what the United States hopes to achieve with its ballistic missile defense systems.

"[Seize the high ground is a] narrative history of the Army's aerospace experience from the 1950s to the present. The focus is on ballistic missile defense, from the early NIKE-HERCULES missile program through the SAFEGUARD acquisition site allowed by the 1972 ABM Treaty to the more advanced 'Star Wars' concepts studies toward the end of the century. [What is] covered is not only the technological response to the threat but the organizational and tactical development of the commands and units responsible for the defense mission"--CMH website.

For 40 years following the end of World War II, the Western democratic governments and the Eastern Bloc Communist powers were locked in the ideological, political, and economic struggle of the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union developed missile systems capable of delivering conventional and nuclear explosives against enemy massed bomber formations in the air, and of delivering retaliatory nuclear payloads against ground targets located on distant continents. The missile systems played both a defensive role, and a potential offensive role, which was parlayed to the public as deterrence against attack by the rival bloc. This title provides a detailed overview of the fixed-launch-site strategic missile systems of the United States.

This book examines the transformation in US thinking about the role of Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) in national security policy since the end of the Cold War. The evolution of the BMD debate after the Cold War has been complex, complicated and punctuated. As this book shows, the debate and subsequent policy choices would often appear to reflect neither the particular requirements of the international system for US security at any given time, nor indeed the current capabilities of BMD technology. Ballistic Missile Defence and US National Security Policy traces the evolution of policy from the zero-sum debates that surrounded the Strategic Defense Initiative as Ronald Reagan left office, up to the relative political consensus that exists around a limited BMD deployment in 2012. The book shows how and why policy evolved in such a complex manner during this period, and explains the strategic reasoning and political pressures shaping BMD policy under each of the presidents who have held office since 1989. Ultimately, this volume demonstrates how relative advancements in technology, combined with growth in the perceived missile threat, gradually shifted the contours and rhythm of the domestic missile defence debate in the US towards acceptance and normalisation. This book will be of much interest to students of missile defence and arms control, US national security policy, strategic studies and international relations in general.

This is the first book-length treatment of international politics in a unipolar world that adopts a structural realist perspective. It applies Waltz's microeconomic analogy to a market with a price leader. It concludes that unipolarity is sustainable as long as the unipole distributes rewards to other states.
