Book excerpt: 2011 Winner of the Selection for Professional Reading List of the U.S. Marine Corps The end of the Cold War was supposed to bring a “peace dividend” and the opportunity to redirect military policy in the United States. Instead, according to Daniel Wirls, American politics following the Cold War produced dysfunctional defense policies that were exacerbated by the war on terror. Wirls’s critical historical narrative of the politics of defense in the United States during this “decade of neglect” and the military buildup in Afghanistan and Iraq explains how and why the U.S. military has become bloated and aimless and what this means for long-term security. Examining the recent history of U.S. military spending and policy under presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, Wirls finds that although spending decreased from the close of the first Bush presidency through the early years of Clinton’s, both administrations preferred to tinker at the edges of defense policy rather than redefine it. Years of political infighting escalated the problem, leading to a military policy stalemate as neither party managed to craft a coherent, winning vision of national security. Wirls argues that the United States has undermined its own long-term security through profligate and often counterproductive defense policies while critical national problems have gone unmitigated and unsolved. This unified history of the politics of U.S. military policy from the end of the Cold War through the beginning of the Obama presidency provides a clear picture of why the United States is militarily powerful but “otherwise insecure.”

Download or read book Security Handbook 2008 written by Hans-Joachim Giessmann and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2008 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Security Handbook 2008 examines the regional security in part of Asia. This collection take a closer look at the role of the emerging powers from the perspective of distinguished researchers from the respective countries. The picture is completed by reviewing two "hot spots" in East Asia, along with a discussion of whether or not there is, or should be, a shaping role for a European actor in the region. The book discusses existing trends, risks, and the chances to employ the capability of emerging powers for the sake of regional stability and cooperation. This said, Russia's, India's, and China's rises offer fewer risks than opportunities. Given closer cooperation among the three, the outlook for resolving bilateral and regional conflicts - and for mastering global challenges in a regional context - seems more promising than the hierarchical system of the past, which was based on bilateral alliances and pragmatic coalitions.

Book Synopsis Labor and the Course of American Democracy by : Charles Bergquist
Download or read book Labor and the Course of American Democracy written by Charles Bergquist and published by Verso. This book was released on 1996-11-17 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American hemisphere is now more tightly interconnected than ever before, with the trend toward greater economic, social and cultural integration apparently certain to continue. In this landmark text, Charles Bergquist offers a fresh interpretation of the historical background to this integration from the unusual perspective of labor. Focusing on slices of US history, and built around critiques of a handful of classic and influential texts, his five essays form not a conventional narrative history but rather a study in the construction of historical meaning, and an invitation to make use of history in the forging of a new, more democratic understanding of politics in the Americas. The book opens with an illustration of how the different labor systems of colonial America best explain the great disparity in development and power between the US and Latin America today. It goes on to link the origins of US imperialism to labor’s democratic studies at home, and to explore labor’s role in the Latin American social revolutions, before presenting an analysis of popular culture in the Americas in which Donald Duck is revealed as the representative of all workers. Will Donald rewrite the history books and, in our post-Cold War era, realize his democratic potential? Or will he bungle the job and succumb to the postmodern confusions of the capitalists’ “New World Order?”
