This national security strategy is focused on renewing American leadership so that the US can more effectively advance its interests in the 21st century. The strategy recognizes the fundamental connection between national security, national competitiveness, resilience, and moral example. It calls for a comprehensive range of national actions, and a broad conception of what con¬stitutes national security. The document argues that it is above all, about renewing leadership by calling upon what is best about America—innovation and capacity; openness and moral imagination. To effectively craft and implement a sustainable, results-oriented national security strategy, there must be effective cooperation between the branches of government.
