This book examines strategic trends, their defense relevance, how they may overlap to produce strategic shocks, and how the United States might mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities. The book was compiled to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing security environment and grew out of an innovative Department of Defense workshop. Distinguished authors from a broad range of backgrounds concentrate on the issues of conflict; demographics; economics; environment; culture, identity and governance; and science and technology. Another group of regional experts considers these seven categories within the context of their respective regions: Africa, China, Europe and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Russia and Eurasia, South Asia, and Latin America. Finally, looking insightfully at broad trends, Fighting Chance warns of future perils and proffers policy options for international action.
