Globalism entails visions of a perilous shrunken world in which security interests are interconnected almost without limit, exposing even powerful states to instant war. Globalism does not just describe the world, but prescribes expansive strategies to deal with it, portraying a fragile globe that the superpower must continually tame into order. Porter argues that this vision of the world has resulted in the US undertaking too many unnecessary military adventures and dangerous strategic overstretch. Distance and geography should be some of the factors that help the US separate the important from the unimportant in international relations. The US should also recognize that, despite the latest technologies, projecting power over great distances still incurs frictions and costs that set real limits on American power. Reviving an appreciation of distance and geography would lead to a more sensible and sustainable grand strategy. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aSecurity, International 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aSecurity, International. 676 $a355/.033573 700 $aPorter$b Patrick$f1976-$0986365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459911503321 996 $aThe global village myth$92254322 997 $aUNINA
