From the Quasi War with France and the opening of Japan, to the
numerous interventions of the 1990s, these events have been
situated at the heart of US foreign policy. There are four
different explanations as to why the US, throughout its history,
has used military force just short of war. Some scholars have
suggested that nations use military force on behalf of security
objectives. Others have maintained that economic self-interest has
motivated many military interventions. Recently many researchers
have explored the extent to which the US has used force to promote
democracy and human rights, and still more scholars have argued
that presidents use limited force for domestic political purposes.
Assessing the utility of each of these explanations throughout US
history, Meernik employs both historical narrative and statistical
techniques to provide a comprehensive account of these important
foreign policy events. This engaging, highly informative volume is
particularly suited to scholars and students in the fields of
international relations, foreign policy, military affairs and
history.
