A new investigation into how the advent of precision-guided
munitions affects the likelihood of US policy makers to use force.
As such, this is an inquiry into the impact of ethics, strategy and
military technology on the decision calculus of national leaders.
Following the first Gulf War in 1991, this new study shows how US
Presidents increasingly used stand-off precision guided munitions
(or "PGMs", especially the Tomahawk cruise missile) either to
influence foreign adversaries to make specific policy choices or to
signal displeasure with their actions. Such uses of force are
attractive because they can lead to desirable policy outcomes where
conventional diplomacy has failed but without the large cost of
lives, economic resources, or political capital that result from
large-scale military operations. In a post-9/11 world,
understanding alternative uses of force under significant policy
constraints is still of supreme importance.
