| This vision propels a strategy for the United States, one that makes the audacious demand that America equate its national security with that of globalization's continued survival and success. In so arguing, I reconnect America's national security strategy to a global peace strategy, much as it had been during the Cold War, when our defense of the West against threats from the East spoke not just to our own nation's survival but to that of freedom around the world as well.

| The map divides the world into two parts: “the functioning core” and the “non-integrated gap.”
The core consists of economically advanced or growing countries that are linked to the global economy and bound to the rule-sets of international trade. The rest of the world is the non-integrated gap – outside the global economy, not bound to the rule-sets of international trade.
