The National Security Enterprise: Navigating the Labyrinth

---

The National Security Enterprise: Navigating the Labyrinth provides an in-depth examination of the complex structure, culture, and operations of the institutions that make up the United States national security system. Edited by Roger Z. George and Harvey Rishikof, the book brings together insights from scholars and practitioners who have served within the U.S. government, offering a unique insider’s view of how policy, intelligence, defense, and diplomacy interact within the national security framework.

The book explores the evolution of the national security apparatus since World War II, analyzing key organizations such as the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, the Department of State, the National Security Council, and Congress. It highlights the bureaucratic challenges, interagency rivalries, and coordination problems that often complicate decision-making and policy implementation.

Through its multidisciplinary approach, the book emphasizes the tension between centralized control and interagency collaboration, the influence of political leadership, and the effects of organizational culture on national security outcomes. It also offers recommendations for improving efficiency, accountability, and adaptability in response to modern threats such as terrorism, cyber warfare, and global instability.

Ultimately, Navigating the Labyrinth serves as both a guide and critique of the U.S. national security system, helping students, analysts, and policymakers understand the institutional dynamics that shape American security strategy and decision-making in an increasingly complex world.
