Report of the Task Force on a Unified Security Budget for the United States
By Lawrence Korb and Miriam Pemberton

The U.S. needs to repair the extreme imbalance in our security spending to strengthen our non-military security tools. This year's Unified Security Budget would create that balance by getting serious about waste, reviewing roles and missions, and reforming the budget process.

Military vs. Climate Security: The 2011 Budgets Compared
By Miriam Pemberton

The gap between federal spending on military as opposed to climate security has narrowed since 2008. Compared to China, though, our progress is meager.

Though its military spending is not wholly transparent, it is estimated that China spends one-sixth as much as the United States does on military security, and twice as much on climate security.

By John Feffer and Miriam Pemberton

Crusade 2.0: The West's Resurgent War on Islam
By John Feffer

Crusade 2.0 examines the resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment in the West and its global implications. John Feffer discusses the influence of three "unfinished wars"--the Crusades, the Cold War, and the current "war on terror." He presents a timely, concise, and provocative look at current events in the context of historical trends and goes beyond a "clash of civilizations" critique to offer concrete ways to defuse the ticking bomb of Islamophobia.

Mandate for Change: Policies and Leadership for 2009 and Beyond
By Chester Hartman

Three decades ago, conservative ideologues at The Heritage Foundation produced a primer on the Reagan Revolution entitled Mandate for Leadership, which offered an overarching philosophy against the role of government and in favor of markets.

Today, IPS has taken on the same task for the Obama administration. Mandate for Change is aimed at strengthening the new administration at a time when the need for progressive policies — and appointing progressive people to lead such efforts—is most urgent.
