Abstract:

This paper aims to help the reader understand and predict some of the principal features of Bush Administration defense policies. The paper has four parts. The first lays out the context within which policy decisions are being made. The second characterizes the basic orientation which the Bush Administration brings to defense decision-making. The third looks to what the most important members of that team have said about defense issues as a basis for establishing what Administration policy is or maybe in selected areas. The last contains overall conclusions.
