No other country maintains a global military presence comparable to
the United States. Yet outside the United States, considerable
debate exists about what this presence is about and how well it
serves national and global interests. Anti-U.S. base protests,
played out in parliaments and the streets of host nations, continue
to arise in different parts of the world. In a novel approach
fusing international relations theory with social movement
perspectives, this book examines the impact of anti-base movements
and the important role bilateral alliance relationships play in
shaping movement outcomes. The author explains not only when and
how anti-base movements matter, but also how host governments
balance between domestic and international pressure on base-related
issues. Drawing on interviews with activists, politicians, policy
makers, and U.S. base officials in the Philippines, Japan
(Okinawa), Ecuador, Italy, and South Korea, the author finds that
the security and foreign policy ideas held by host government
elites act as a political opportunity or barrier for anti-base
movements, influencing their ability to challenge overseas U.S.
basing policies.
