Conclusion

Abstract

This book addresses national security from an economist’s and practitioner’s perspective. We have been motivated by the questions: How can we think broadly about policies so that we have more of them from which to choose? How can we ensure our policy choices maximize intended outcomes? When are policies symbolic and when do they have economic impact? Before invading a country or launching a surgical cruise missile strike, can Leader A influence the relevant decision-makers in Country B so that Leader B will find it in his best interest to modify the behavior Leader A finds so wrong? In short, incentives matter, so policy-makers and analysts must take incentives into account.
