Without doubt, the publication of the 2025 US National Security Strategy signals more than a policy shift; it marks a profound reorientation in Washington’s doctrine of power for the twenty-first century. Security is no longer understood through the lens of military predominance alone. It is increasingly defined by the ability to govern strategic flows, from logistics corridors, and maritime chokepoints to critical minerals, digital infrastructures, and resilient industrial ecosystems. The grammar of power has therefore changed, moving from territorial control to the mastery of circulation.
This new understanding reflects a contemporary reading of Hamiltonian industrialism, which roots national strength in productive capacity and infrastructural depth, and it draws inspiration from a renewed Monroe logic that insists on the stabilization of one’s strategic environment against disruptive external pressures. In this emerging doctrinal landscape, the international system is shaped less by physical expansion than by the sovereignty of value chains and the connective architectures that sustain them. Within this transformed horizon, Africa no longer appears as a peripheral frontier. It assumes the position of an essential center of gravity in global geoeconomics and a decisive arena where the future balance of power will be organized.
