Description

Explore the complex history of how the United States has applied military power in its foreign relations. This academic text examines a wide range of historical events, starting from the Quasi War with France and the opening of Japan through to the various interventions seen in the 1990s. These moments represent the core of US foreign policy decisions. This book provides a deep look into the different theories used to explain why the US uses military force just short of declaring full-scale war. It analyzes four distinct perspectives, including arguments that nations act to meet security objectives or to pursue economic self-interest. Additionally, the text covers recent research into how force is used to promote human rights and democracy on the global stage. It is a valuable resource for students and researchers studying international relations and political science.
