1 Course Time: Th 2:00-5:00pm Course Location: SED205 Office: Political Science 303 Office Hours: Tuesdays 3-5 Economic Bases of Power: The Study of Political Economy of National Security As of March 2011 Congress has approved a total of $1.283 trillion for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. 1 Throughout his reign as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Navy Admiral Mike Mullen repeatedly stated, the single biggest threat to our national security is our debt. 2 On March 1, 2013, the United States implemented an 11.5 percent annualized spending cut on Defense operations. The cuts, following a 22.1 percent plunge in the last three months of 2012, represent the biggest back-to-back decline on average since 1954, when the military demobilized after the Korean War. As these three statements make clear, the past decade has been rife with economic crises, austerity measures, and increased financial globalization. This economic climate has had large ramifications for the ability of states to power. The goal of this course is to provide a theoretical framework to understand the changing economic climate and its relationship to power and national security.
