  • The Security Lexicon from Westphalia to the Present a Cautionary Tale
    THE SECURITY LEXICON FROM WESTPHALIA TO THE PRESENT A CAUTIONARY TALE MAX G. MANWARING, PH.D. A new and dangerous dynamic is at work around the world today. That new dynamic involves the migration of some of the monopoly of political power (i.e., the authoritative allocation of values in a society) from the traditional nation-state to unconventional actors such as the Islamic State (ISIS), transnational criminal organizations, Leninist-Maoist insurgents, tribal militias, pri- vate armies, enforcer gangs and other modern mercenaries. These actors conduct their own political-psychological type of war against various state and other non-state adversaries. These violent politicized non-state actors are being ignored; or, alternatively, are being considered too hard to deal with. That misunderstanding must inevitably result in an epochal transition from traditional Western nation-state systems and their liberal democratic values to something else dependent on the values—good, bad, or non-existent—of the winner.1 To help civilian and military leaders, policy-makers, opinion-makers, and anyone else who might have the responsibility for dealing with modern conflict come to grips analytically with the security dilemma and other realities of the 21st century political-psychological environment, this paper seeks to do three things. In Part One, we outline a bit of essential history that takes us from the Westphalian Peace Treaty of 1648 to the present. In that context, we briefly consider a con- temporary example of the traditional military-centric approach to national and international security that is still alive and well. That is, Chinese military activity in the South China Sea.
