Barnett’s New Book “Blue Print”
It looks like Thomas Barnett’ s publisher is in full PR swing in anticipatian of his new book, “Blueprint for Action : A Future Worth Creating“.
I’ve mentioned Barnett in several of my papers and a posting here regarding “Open Source Warfare“.
Check out the United Press Article, with the humble title Military theory superstar unveils new book:
[Barnett] advocated re-structuring the military into two forces. The first, “leviathan,” would include the military’s nuclear arsenal and traditional war-fighting elements, and would be aimed at deterring other nations, as well as providing the capacity to rapidly intervene to change, shore-up or eliminate unstable regimes.
The second, more numerous, “systems administrator” force, would be focused on the post-war phase of such interventions — on counter-insurgency and nation-building.
In his new book, Barnett offers a detailed plan for putting his ideas into action, including a six-point program for transforming politically bankrupt states. “Bad states go in, better states come out,” he writes.
