OFFSHORE BALANCING IN THE USA MILITARY REFORM

Summary/Abstract: President Barack Obama has recently operated major changes in the US security strategy, which entails, inter alia, the fact that Europe must enhance its military capabilities and rethink its military investment policy. With a new USA Defence Strategy, Washington will not take sole responsibility to maintain international stability, and it will not stop at involving other state players, but will have the opportunity to opt for non-intervention, without being criticized and lose the strategic position of great power. The strategy requires a force that is agile, technological and capable of confronting global terrorists, maintaining at the same time the power to deter Iran and North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and to counter China’s growth in the Western Pacific.
