The Politics of Strategic Adjustment: Ideas, Institutions, and Interests

Book Overview

This text examines a century of American experience to illustrate how the United States determines its security policies. While scholars have typically focused on outside factors, such as international pressures, constraints and opportunities, this collection of essays shows that decisions about strategy are critically shaped by domestic politics - political ideologies, state structure and societal interests.
