The U.S. 2022 National Security Strategy

by Dr. Karin L. Johnston

Balancing Cooperation and Competition in the Next Decade

Karin Johnston is a lecturer at the School of International Service at American University and the University of Maryland. We asked her to analyze the 2022 National Security Strategy of the Biden administration in comparison to previously released national security documents. One of her conclusions: “Global challenges require global cooperation in a world defined by confrontation, with aggressive powers intent on re-making the international rules of the road.”

Karin Johnston points out that: “The rise of China, Russia’s war against Ukraine, climate change, and the ongoing socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic all exposed gaps in the international rules-based order and displayed how difficult it was for the international community to rapidly deal with systemic crises. The NSS is the U.S. administration’s outline for meeting these challenges and preserving American security, prosperity, and values.”
