Defense Engagement Since 1900 - Global Lessons in Soft Power (Hardcover)

There is more to defense than military might and more to the
military than a fighting force. At a moment of global upheaval,
domestic turmoil, and political uncertainty, this timely volume
seeks to define and reframe the terms of defense engagement - the
use of military capabilities to exert soft power (influence) as
opposed to hard power (military force). Defense Engagement since
1900 is a work of applied military history that brings lessons of
the past to bear on current issues. In a number of case studies
spanning the twentieth century and the globe, the authors explore
various dimensions of defense engagement. Their work, which
attempts to recast the role of a state's military from wielder of
force to employer of power, is squarely aimed at tackling the
causes of designated security threats and not merely managing their
consequences. The chapters, by scholars and practitioners
representing diverse points of view, focus primarily on the British
experience - perhaps the most extensive example of the use of
military power in a nonmartial fashion in pursuit of policy goals.
However, the chapters also consider events in the United States,
Canada, Japan, the Middle East, and Africa. Intelligence,
diplomacy, deterrence, alliances, coalitions, and networks: all are
within the authors' scope as they address the need to use a wide
range of attributes and capabilities associated with military power
in various contemporary conflicts and national security strategies.
The understanding their work provides will prove critically
important to strategic thinkers of our day, as democratic states
increasingly contend with hybrid, subthreshold, and Gray Zone
warfare.
