The United States has gained considerable experience in
nation-building operations through its participation in at least
eight significant operations since World War II - in Germany,
Japan, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq. These
eight cases can be split into three distinct periods: the post -
World War II cases of Germany and Japan under the administrations
of Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman; the post - Cold War cases
of Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo under the administrations of
George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton; and the post-9/11 cases of
Afghanistan and Iraq under the administration of George W. Bush.
Exploring both the decision-making style and structure of
government in the three periods can lead to a deeper understanding
of American decision-making on, and the American capacity for,
nation-building.This volume first discusses some general theories
of administration, leadership, and authority in order to frame the
empirical evidence on nation-building. Then, each period of
nation-building is examined, focusing on operations, the
distribution of responsibility, how U.S. efforts fit into larger
international efforts, and the impact of the decision-making
structures on the overall success of the operation. Finally, the
authors combine theory and evidence to draw conclusions about the
influence of decision-making style and structure on American
nation-building.
