This book presents the current history of United States military
strategy in Afghanistan as an example of dysfunctional policy
discourse among the nation's elites. The legitimacy of a country's
military strategy can become a subject of intense public debate and
doubt, especially in prolonged conflicts. Arguments typically hinge
on disagreements about the values at stake, the consequences of
action or inaction, and the authority of those responsible for the
plan. As the US entered its second decade at war in Afghanistan,
political and military leaders struggled to explain the ends and
means of their strategy through internal policy debates, the
promotion of counterinsurgency doctrine, and day-to-day accounts of
the war's progress. Military Strategy as Public Discourse considers
recent US strategy in Afghanistan as a form of valid and equitable
public discussion among those with the ability to affect outcomes.
The work examines the dominant forms of discourse used by the
various groups of elites who make and execute strategy, and
considers how representations of these forms of discourse in news
media shapes elite understanding of the purpose of US efforts in
wars of choice. The book proposes how policy-makers should address
the problems of public discourse on war, which tends to exclude or
marginalize relevant elites and focus on narrow questions of
validity. This book will be of much interest to students of
strategic studies, US foreign policy, and security studies in
general.
