In this new study, Dr. James Lebovic challenges the widely held
view that many current US adversaries cannot be deterred. He
maintains that deterrence is not a relic of the Cold War period and
that it should shape US policies toward even so-called rogue states
and terror groups. Prof Lebovic makes the case that deterrence
principles continue to apply by focusing upon the "three pillars"
of the Bush administration's national security policy:
(1) missile defense which preoccupied the administration until
September 11, 2001;
(2) preemption which became the US focus with the September 11
attacks and US success in overthrowing the Taliban regime in
Afghanistan; and
(3) homeland security which the administration has portrayed as
more a natural response to threat than an aspect of policy that
must be reconciled with the other pillars.
The author asserts that bad offenses and defenses have been endemic
to the current US policy approach. As a consequence, US
policymakers have pursuedpolicies that require the US to do
everything, as if more is always better, without adequate concern
for resource trade-offs, overreach, and unintended consequences.
This book will be of great interest to students of US foreign
policy, national and international security, terrorism and
international relations in general.
