The 2010 National Security Strategy
On May 26, 2010, the latest National Security Strategy was issued by President Barack Obama. The new Strategy was referred to by United Nations ambassador Susan Rice as a "dramatic departure" from its predecessor. The Strategy advocated increased engagement with Russia, China and India. The Strategy also identified nuclear non-proliferation and climate change as priorities, while noting that the United States's security depended on reviving its economy. The drafters of the new Strategy made a conscious decision to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism", instead speaking of terrorism generally.
