This article by Michael E. Hess discusses the evolution of civil-military relationships in the context of U.S. national security strategy. It emphasizes the need for a "whole of government" approach to addressing the primary threats facing the nation, such as terrorism and global criminal networks, which often flourish in fragile states. Utilizing USAID and Developmental Assistance effectively, the piece advocates for a Smart Power framework that integrates diplomacy, defense, and development to foster stability and prosperity in vulnerable regions.
