Find tips, reviews, and features on The American Warfare State Domestic sold for 39.77 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
How is it that the United Statesa country founded on a distrust of standing armies and strong centralized powercame to have the most powerful military in history Long after World War II and the end of the Cold War in times of rising national debt and reduced need for high levels of military readiness why does Congress still continue to support massive defense budgets In The American Warfare State Rebecca U Thorpe argues that there are profound relationships among the size and persistence of the American military complex the growth in presidential power to launch military actions and the decline of congressional willingness to check this power The public costs of military mobilization and war including the need for conscription and higher tax rates served as political constraints on warfare for most of American history But the vast defense industry that emerged from World War II also created new political interests that the framers of the Constitution did not anticipate Many rural and semirural areas became economically reliant on defensesector jobs and capital which gave the legislators representing them powerful incentives to press for ongoing defense spending regardless of national security circumstances or goals At the same time the costs of war are now borne overwhelmingly by a minority of soldiers who volunteer to fight future generations of taxpayers and foreign populations in whose lands wars often take place Drawing on an impressive cache of data Thorpe reveals how this new incentive structure has profoundly reshaped the balance of wartime powers between Congress and the president resulting in a defense industry perennially poised for war and an executive branch that enjoys unprecedented discretion to take military action

When the United States invaded Iraq President Bush made it clear the US was not fighting the Iraqi people Rather all quarrels were solely with Iraqs leadership This kind of assertion remains frequent in foreign affairssanctions or military actions are imposed on a nation not because of its people but because of its misguided leaders Although the distinction might seem pedantic since the people suffer regardless Punishing the Prince reveals how targeting individual leaders for punishment rather than the nations they represent creates incentives for cooperation between nations and leaves room for future relations with pariah states Punishing the Prince demonstrates that theories of leader punishment explain a great deal about international behavior and interstate relations The book examines the impact that domestic political institutions have on whether citizens hold their leaders accountable for international commitments and shows that the degrees to which citizens are able to remove leaders shape the dynamics of interstate relations and leader turnover Through analyses of sovereign debt international trade sanctions and crisis bargaining Fiona McGillivray and Alastair Smith also uncover striking differences in patterns of relations between democratic and autocratic states Bringing together a vast body of information Punishing the Prince offers new ways of thinking about international relations
