Description
America's ability to project power underwrites global peace and prosperity. Yet US power projection and freedom of action are threatened-at sea, in the air, in outer space, and in cyberspace. This volume provides a treasure trove of insights about how to protect the global commons well into the future. -- Patrick M. Cronin, senior advisor and senior director of the Asia program, Center for a New American Security The emergence of new powers, spread of computer networks, increasing international access to space, and ease of transmitting ideas raise questions about a global order whose preservation points toward relative stability and progress and whose fracturing leads in the opposite direction. Scott Jasper's Conflict and Cooperation in the Global Commons has been published with perfect timing. It discusses these and related questions with elegance and a thoughtfulness that looks to future security and demands attention from those who want to understand how it is likely to unfold. -- Seth Cropsy, senior fellow, Hudson Institute
