Description

T. X. Hammes advances the argument that the emerging fourth industrial revolution is reversing globalization.

The convergence of new technologies is changing how and where we create wealth.

Quite simply, business will make more money by producing and selling locally than internationally.

As wealth creation becomes local or regional, so does security.

Hammes makes the case that this period of deglobalization will be long-term.How and where wealth was generated often drove conflict in the past.

The major shift in wealth generation driven by the fourth industrial revolution will have a profound impact on the nature of state relationships and international security.

A major development is the emergence of small, smart, and cheap but highly capable weapons systems.

These systems will allow small states, and even insurgent groups, to impose very high costs on the United States if it chooses to intervene in local conflicts. It is essential for policy-makers to be aware of the range of effects this revolutionary shift will bring about.

They must investigate the impact on U.S. security while there is still time to change our concepts, structures, and plans.
