U.S. Defense Policy
What is deterrence, and what is its role in U.S. national defense?
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice once commented on China’s military buildup as looking “outsized for its regional concerns.” What might armed forces consistent with Beijing’s legitimate self-defense requirements look like? Panelists presented their findings on the “right-size” for China’s national security strategy, strategic forces, and ground forces at this seminar.
