The Shield and the Cloak: The Security of the Commons
Gary Hart
Abstract
This book outlines the fundamental changes with which America must grapple when confronting a terrorist threat that has no state and no geographic home base and thus offers no genuine target for the world’s largest and most sophisticated military force. The author argues for a security of the commons, emphasizing that the new security will require a shield for the homeland as well as a cloak of nonmilitary security, including security of income, community, environment, and energy.
Keywords: America, terrorist threat, commons, shield, non-military security
