The Commission's Phase II report is the second in a series of three designed to rethink national security to meet the needs of the 21st century. The Phase II report identifies six priority objectives to advance the peace, prosperity, and cooperative order of the world ahead: Defend the United States and ensure that it is safe from the dangers of a new era. Maintain America's social cohesion, economic competitiveness, technological ingenuity, and military strength. Assist the integration of key major powers, especially China, Russia, and India, into the mainstream of the emerging international system. Manage, with others, the dynamism of the new global economy and improve the effectiveness of international institutions and international law. Adapt U.S. alliances and other regional mechanisms to a new era in which America's partners seek greater autonomy and responsibility. Help the international community tame the integrative forces spawned by an era of change. |
