This document discusses the current imbalance in U.S. foreign policy tools, with an overemphasis on military solutions and underinvestment in diplomacy and development. It notes that the U.S. spends more on military bands than diplomats or development workers, and that interest payments on past military spending exceed spending on all civilian foreign policy tools combined. The document calls for rebalancing foreign policy tools by increasing diplomatic capabilities, development aid, and cooperation while reducing excessive military spending.

FCNL PPDC Peace Toolbox 2010

Editor's Notes

  1. Pentagon Debt is interest due on the portion of the federal debt that was generated by past Pentagon spending.
  2. The $176.5 billion was only paying the interest on the debt—not the principal. For more information go to http://www.fcnl.org/budget/how_were_your_taxes_spent09.htm.
  3. Traditionally the State Department plans, budgets and oversees securityassistance programs and is the lead agency in charge of all U.S. foreign policy and global engagement. The DOD has supported overall foreign and national security policy by implementing these programs. This relationship was designed to ensure that security assistance was aligned with general U.S. foreign policy goals.
  4. Does the U.S. have the tools to effectively address threats and promote peace and stability? Growing consensus says No. Current wars are no longer between national militaries only. Rather, violent conflicts arising out of poverty, inequality, wealth disparity, extremist ideologies. Military might cannot fight these forces—the U.S. government needs more nuanced tools.
  5. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been unified in their call to build up civilian capacities. Even the military understands that force alone will not ensure national security.
  6. Beat their swords into ploughshares, spears into pruning hooks.
  7. What FCNL Is Doing? Genocide Prevention Task Force
  8. Sign in our window. Yard signs have been sent to all parts of the country; this year 2 ½ times as many as last year 12 months. We now have 474 distributors around the country, in all 50 states.
