About The Pentagon's New Map
The groundbreaking examination of U.S. and global security,
certain to be one of the most talked-about books of 2004-and beyond.
"Thomas Barnett is one of the most thoughtful and original thinkers
that this generation of national security analysts has produced."
-JOHN PETERSEN, President, The Arlington Institute
"His work should be read not only by policy makers and pundits,
but by anyone who wants to understand how the world works in the Age of Terror."
-SHERRI GOODMAN, Senior Fellow, The CNA Corporation, and former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense
"Barnett puts the world into context."-Esquire
Since the end of the Cold War, America's national security establishment
has been searching for a new operating theory to explain how this seemingly
"chaotic" world actually works. Gone is the clash of blocs, but replaced by what?
Thomas Barnett has the answers. A senior military analyst with the U.S. Naval War College,
he has given a constant stream of briefings over the past few years, and particularly since 9/11,
to the highest of high-level civilian and military policy-makers-and now he gives it to you.
The Pentagon's New Map is a cutting-edge approach to globalization that combines security,
economic, political, and cultural factors to do no less than predict and explain the nature of war
and peace in the twenty-first century.
Building on the works of Thomas Friedman, Samuel Huntington, and Francis Fukuyama,
and then taking a leap beyond, Barnett's book crystallizes recent American military history
and strategy, sets the parameters for where our forces will likely be headed in the future,
outlines the unique role that America can and will play in establishing international stability
-and provides much-needed hope at a crucial yet uncertain time in world history.
For anyone seeking to understand the Iraqs, Afghanistans, and Liberias of the present and future;
the intimate new links between foreign policy and national security; the operational realities of
the world as it exists today, The Pentagon's New Map is a template, a Rosetta stone.
Agree with it, disagree with it, argue with it-there is no book more essential for 2004 and beyond.
Thomas P. M. Barnett is a senior strategic researcher and professor at the U.S. Naval War College.
From October 2001 to June 2003, he served as Assistant for Strategic Futures, Office of Force
Transformation, Office of the Secretary of Defense. Before that, he directed the NewRulesSets.Project,
in partnership with Cantor Fitzgerald, to draw new "maps" of power and influence in the world economy;
directed the Year 2000 International Security Dimension Project; and served as a project director for the
Center for Naval Analyses and the Institute for Public Research. In December 2002, Esquire named him
"The Strategist" for a special edition titled "The Best and the Brightest," and followed that in March 2003
with his article "The Pentagon's New Map." Barnett has written for several other publications, including
The New York Times and The Washington Post. A Harvard Ph.D. in political science, he lives in
Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
