Overview

"As the preeminent global power, the United States is uniquely exposed to the consequences of instability around the world. It is also often called on by other countries to assist them when conflict arises. Yet with the military overstretched and huge fiscal pressures mounting, the need to avoid major new obligations of this kind has become more acute. The United States will need to work with others to help maintain world order and prevent dangerous rivalries and instabilities from emerging. In many if not all cases, the United States will find it necessary to work with the established multilateral organizations-notably the United Nations, leading regional organizations, and the principal international financial institutions. ""Enhancing International Preventive Action"" assesses the strengths and weaknesses of these multilateral actors and provides a set of practical recommendations for how the United States can strengthen the global architecture for preventive action."
