Quoted By:
Excerpts from Thomas Barnett's popular book The Pentagon's New Map, Barnett was the Assistant for Strategic Futures in the Department of Defense 2001 to 2003 and is the former chief analyst for Wikistrat, an intelligence consultancy founded in Israel in 2010. Barnett was asked by the United States Air Force to give a presentation of his book The Pentagon's New Map to every new officer who attained the rank of general aswell as the pentagon issuing the book as essential reading for all officers. Like all good republicans in Washington he also has two black adopted children.
Thomas Barnett went layed out his view for the American Empires role in the world:
"To be successful the US military must stop thinking of war in the context of war but war in the context of "everything else", i.e. demographics, energy, investment, security, politics, trade, immigration, etc.
In recognition of its dual role, the US military should organize itself according to two functions, the "Leviathan" and the "System Administrator."
Leviathan's purpose is the use of overwhelming force in order to end violence quickly. It will take out governments, defend Core countries, and generally do the deterrence work that the US military has been doing since the end of WWII. The Leviathan force is primarily staffed by young aggressive personnel and is overwhelmingly American.
The SysAdmin's purpose is to wage peace: peacekeeping, nation building, strengthening weak governments, etc. The SysAdmin force is primarily staffed by older, more experienced personnel, though not entirely (he would put the Marines in SysAdmin as the " Mini-me Leviathan"). The sys Admin force would work best as a Core-wide phenomenon."
