Military power is now the main vehicle for regime change. The US
army has been used on more than 30 different occasions in the
post-Cold War world compared with just 10 during the whole of the
Cold War era. Leading scholar Andrew Williams tackles contemporary
thinking on war with a detailed study on liberal thinking over the
last century about how wars should be ended, using a vast range of
historical archival material from diplomatic, other official and
personal papers, which this study situates within the debates that
have emerged in political theory. He examines the main strategies
used at the end, and in the aftermath, of wars by liberal states to
consolidate their liberal gains and to prevent the re-occurrence of
wars with those states they have fought. This new study also
explores how various strategies: revenge; restitution; reparation;
restraint; retribution; reconciliation; and reconstruction, have
been used by liberal states not only to defeat their enemies but
also transform them. This is a major new contribution to
contemporary thinking and action. This book will be of great
interest to all students and scholars of politics, international
relations and security studies.
