Download or read book While Dangers Gather written by William G. Howell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-06-27 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly five hundred times in the past century, American presidents have deployed the nation's military abroad, on missions ranging from embassy evacuations to full-scale wars. The question of whether Congress has effectively limited the president's power to do so has generally met with a resounding "no." In While Dangers Gather, William Howell and Jon Pevehouse reach a very different conclusion. The authors--one an American politics scholar, the other an international relations scholar--provide the most comprehensive and compelling evidence to date on Congress's influence on presidential war powers. Their findings have profound implications for contemporary debates about war, presidential power, and Congress's constitutional obligations. While devoting special attention to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, this book systematically analyzes the last half-century of U.S. military policy. Among its conclusions: Presidents are systematically less likely to exercise military force when their partisan opponents retain control of Congress. The partisan composition of Congress, however, matters most for proposed deployments that are larger in size and directed at less strategically important locales. Moreover, congressional influence is often achieved not through bold legislative action but through public posturing--engaging the media, raising public concerns, and stirring domestic and international doubt about the United States' resolve to see a fight through to the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the president is the commander in chief, the US Congress plays a critical and underappreciated role in civil-military relations—the relationship between the armed forces and the civilian leadership that commands it. This unique book edited by Colton C. Campbell and David P. Auerswald will help readers better understand the role of Congress in military affairs and national and international security policy. Contributors include the most experienced scholars in the field as well as practitioners and innovative new voices, all delving into the ways Congress attempts to direct the military. This book explores four tools in particular that play a key role in congressional action: the selection of military officers, delegation of authority to the military, oversight of the military branches, and the establishment of incentives—both positive and negative—to encourage appropriate military behavior. The contributors explore the obstacles and pressures faced by legislators including the necessity of balancing national concerns and local interests, partisan and intraparty differences, budgetary constraints, the military's traditional resistance to change, and an ongoing lack of foreign policy consensus at the national level. Yet, despite the considerable barriers, Congress influences policy on everything from closing bases to drone warfare to acquisitions. A groundbreaking study, Congress and Civil-Military Relations points the way forward in analyzing an overlooked yet fundamental government relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US defense budget is one of the few pieces of legislation that regularly passes the US Congress, but current scholarship in American politics and US foreign policy struggle to explain precisely why this happens. Existing theories of Congressional behavior that explain other issue areas-- like the influence of a member's districts or his or her personal history-- have a history of null results when applied to defense votes. My dissertation addresses the question of why the US defense budget is so popular in Congress, and how this varies across members and time. I decompose support for the defense budget into a member's engagement, or work on this issue, and their voting record, and show that existing theories explain well members' engagement-- members with military industry in their district tend to work on defense issues more than other members-- but does not explain a members' vote pattern. This is largely because of the large number of unengaged congressmembers who vote in favor of defense bills despite not having these characteristics. I suggest that this occurs because members of Congress are concerned about the domestic political consequences of being labeled soft on defense, and engage in strategic voting in support of defense, particularly in times of national threat. I use survey experiments and 80 years of Congressional behavior to support this claim. My final paper compares two instances in which soft on defense criticism were used to change the politics of missile defense and demonstrates how a perception of threat in Congress is a precondition for this effect.

Download or read book Over the Hill and Over the Ridge: Effects of Age and Veteran Status on Congressional Voting for Military Disputes written by Andrea Danielle Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International relations scholars have sought to understand why, and under what circumstances, states go to war. The United States Congress plays an important role in the initiation and escalation of force of the United States military. Given this, it would be helpful to identify potential predictors for how members of Congress vote in regards to military use of force. Specifically, this study looks at how the age and veteran status of a member of Congress affects the way in which they vote. The overall population of members of Congress see an increase of support for military action as age increases. However, veterans in Congress exhibit a steady decline of support for military action as they age, while non-veterans experience a steady increase. We can then conclude that the continuing trend of an older Congress, with a decline of veterans in office, has potential implications for voting outcomes on defense policy.

Download or read book Buildup written by Daniel Wirls and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eight-year Reagan presidency not only initiated the largest peacetime military buildup in American history but also altered traditional partisan alignments and revised the policy agenda of the welfare state. In his insightful book, Daniel Wirls clarifies the relationship between defense policy and domestic policy during this period of significant political change when he examines three defense policies, the political coalitions behind them, and their interactions. Wirls discusses the use of the rhetoric and resources of national security to build and maintain Reagan's conservative coalition and undermine Democratic politics; the importance of the peace movement in the mobilization of liberal opposition to the Reagan revolution; and the adoption and promotion of military reform, particularly by members of Congress, in response to the clash between the peace movement and the Reagan administration. He probes the political competition among these institutions and coalitions by examining three major defense policy initiatives--the Strategic Defense Initiative for the Reagan administration, the nuclear freeze proposal from the peace movement and the Democratic party, and the attempts by the military reform lobby in Congress to change the Pentagon's procurement practices--and he weighs the impact of those forces on the defense debate and domestic politics. Treating an inadequately developed aspect of the political process, this book will be of great interest to political scientists and historians concentrating in American domestic politics, security affairs specialists, and military historians.
