Neuware - Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents is a series that provides primary source documents and expert commentary on various topics in the worldwide effort to combat terrorism. Volume 132, The 2012 Shift in U.S. National Security Strategy: The Analysis, takes a critical look at the Obama administration's 2012 strategic guidance, that steps away from the Global War on Terror and its focus on the Middle East, with a reorientation towards the security and economic threats of China and North Korea and the need for diplomatic, economic, and military partnership throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Professor Douglas Lovelace provides a deep critical account of the strategic shift, and presents the unclassified strategy document from the White House alongside reports by the U.S. Department of Defense, Congressional Research Service, Al Jazeera Center for Studies, and various research centers of the U.S. Armed Forces.
