DIA Statement on Global Threats and Challenges Through 2015

چکیده

"What's past is prologue" Shakespeare wrote. Those words have relevance today with respect to the recent and future global security environment. The 1990s were a time of transition and turmoil as familiar Cold War issues, precepts, structures, and strategies gave way to new security paradigms and problems. That transition continues, with the end nowhere in sight. In fact, I expect the next 10 to 15 years to be at least as turbulent, if not more so. The basic forces bringing stress and change to the international order -some of them outlined below -will remain largely at work, and no power, circumstance, or condition is likely to emerge capable of overcoming these and creating a more stable global environment. Within this environment, the 'Big C' issues -especially counter drug, counter intelligence, counter proliferation, counter terrorism -that have been a focal point of this Committee's efforts will remain key challenges for the United States. I will discuss each of these in some detail.
