Reviews for Securing Freedom in the Global Commons

"Securing Freedom in the Global Commons is the first book-length study of security throughout the 'global commons' . . . The volume is timely, as freedom and security in the commons are increasingly under pressure from certain states, terrorism, and such illegal activity as (maritime) piracy and cyber crime."
Chris Rahman
Political Studies Review
"Securing Freedom in ... Read morethe Global Commons presents an extensive and diverse academic study of the complexities defense planners, government policymakers, and private enterprise will face in the commons in decade ahead."
Eric Sayers, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies "This is the first book-length examination of the stark implications of current and future challenges to America's reach and influence in the global commons. Its breadth is matched only by its high degree of scholarship and its relevance. The authors offer invaluable insights into the scale of the problem we face, and are to be commended for their innovative strategic thinking about solutions. Securing Freedom in the Global Commons is highly recommended to policy makers and students of national security and international relations."
Frank Hoffman
U.S. National Analyst, Author of From Preponderance to Partnership, American Maritime Power in the 21st Century and The Contested Maritime Commons
"This volume goes far beyond its title by locating the global commons at the heart of current and future security challenges, delineating the forms many of these challenges are taking and identifying possible responses. It is an important contribution to our understanding of emerging security threats and is rich in both concept and detail. A must-read for all those interested in national and global security."
Phil Williams, Wesley W. Posvar Professor of International Security and Director of the Matthew Ridgway Center
University of Pittsburgh
"The prosperity and stability of our global community depends increasingly on the open access to air space, outer space, oceans and more recently cyberspace as media for the continual transport of goods, capital, and information. Scott Jasper and his team have assembled the first comprehensive description of the multidimensional task of securing the global commons and the critical role our defense forces will play . . . A must read for serious analysts and educators in the national security field."
Stuart E. Johnson, Senior Research Analyst Show Less
