How and why did the United States get involved in nation-building
overseas, and how have these policies evolved? How has Washington
understood the relationship between development abroad and security
at home, and how has this translated into policy? What is the
relationship between security, order and development in
nation-building and stabilisation efforts? This book explores the
processes through which nation-building approaches originated and
developed over the last seven decades as well as the concepts and
motivations that shaped them. Weaving together International
Relations theory and a rich history drawing mainly on declassified
documents, interviews and other primary sources, this book
contributes to theoretical discussions of nation-building while
offering a critique of Realist and Critical Security School
analyses of US policy in the developing world. Ultimately, the book
illuminates lessons relevant to today's nation-building, crisis
management, stability, 'good governance' and reconstruction
missions. -- .
