Abstract: Now that more than a decade and two American presidencies have come and gone since the end of the Cold War, the United States has articulated no new grand strategy to address the novel security demands of the new age. There is nothing remotely comparable to the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan that so radically reoriented U.S. strategic policy at the start of the era now ended. No doubt, the reasons for that absence have something to do with the "if-it-ain't-broke" dictum. Confrontation and deterrence ev- idently worked to win the Cold War and, by this logic, should continue to serve the nation's security into the murky future.
