Contemporary international events, and indeed even the US
presidential election, demonstrate the continuing need for debate
and discourse over the direction and emphases of US foreign policy.
Following the success of the original hardback publication, this
revised and updated paperback re-conceptualizes the 'war on
terrorism' and analyzes the nature of American domestic and
international policy-making within the context of historical and
structural constraints upon US policy. American Global Strategy and
the 'War on Terrorism' addresses a wide range of themes that are
crucial to understanding the 9/11 crisis and to formulating an
affective American and global foreign and security policy to deal
with that crisis. This study should be read by contemporary policy
makers and scholars of foreign policy.
The perspectives of academics and practitioners are brought
together in this insightful work, which examines the war on
terrorism, the Iraq war and the roles of NATO and the EU. The book
analyzes the new threats posed by terrorist strikes and the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction despite the total
failure of Cold War conceptions of deterrence. It also delineates
the key issues and problems that have arisen from the NATO and EU
double enlargement and from the new NATO-Russian relationship.
Casting light on the global and regional ramifications of the
crisis, as well as the tensions in the transatlantic relationship
caused by the war with Iraq, NATO and the European Union addresses
the key policy questions that concern the maintenance of global
peace and security.
Many different social scientists have been challenged by the
origins of wars, their immediate causes and the mechanisms leading
to the breakdown of peaceful relations. Many have speculated
whether conflicts were avoidable and whether alternative policies
might have prevented conflict. The Ashgate Research Companion to
War provides contributions from a number of theorists and
historians with a focus on long term, systemic conflicts. The
problematique is introduced by the Editors highlighting the need
for interdisciplinary approaches to the study of war as a global
phenomenon. The following 29 essays provide a comprehensive study
guide in four sections: Part I explicates differing theories as to
the origins of war under the general concept of 'polemology'. Part
II analyzes significant conflicts from the Peloponnesian wars to
World War II. Part III examines the ramifications of Cold War and
post-Cold War conflict. Part IV looks at long cycles of systemic
conflict, and speculates, in part, whether another global war is
theoretically possible, and if so, whether it can be averted. This
comprehensive volume brings us a much needed analysis of wars
throughout the ages, their origins, their consequences, and their
relationship to the present. A valuable understanding that is ideal
for social scientists from a variety of backgrounds.
World War I represents one of the most studied, yet least
understood, systemic conflicts in modern history. At the time, it
was a major power war that was largely unexpected. This book
refines and expands points made in the author's earlier work on the
failure to prevent World War I. It provides an alternative
viewpoint to the thesis of Christopher Clark, Fritz Fischer, Paul
Kennedy, among others, as to the war's long-term origins. By
starting its analysis with the causes and consequences of the
1870-71 Franco-Prussian War and the German annexation of
Alsace-Lorraine, the study systematically explores the key
geostrategic, political-economic and socio-cultural-ideological
disputes between France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Russia,
Japan, the United States and Great Britain, the nature of their
foreign policy goals, alliance formations, arms rivalries, as well
as the dynamics of the diplomatic process, so as to better explain
the deeper roots of the 'Great War'. The book concludes with a
discussion of the war's relevance and the diplomatic failure to
forge a possible Anglo-German-French alliance, while pointing out
how it took a second world war to realize Victor Hugo's
nineteenth-century vision of a United States of Europe-a vision now
being challenged by financial crisis and Russia's annexation of
Crimea.

Gardner examines the causes and consequences of Russia's annexation
of Crimea. By analyzing alliance formations and the consequences of
other annexations in world history, the book urges an alternative
US-NATO-European-Japanese strategy toward both Russia and China in
the effort to prevent a renewed arms race, if not global war.
This edited book will examine the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean
from multidimensional geo-strategic, political-economic,
socio-cultural/religious and demographic perspectives. It
analyzes the conflicting geopolitical interests of the major and
regional powers, as well as those of NATO and the European Union,
with a focus on energy, democracy and corruption, shifts in
population, as well as religious political influence. The authors
argue that the US, NATO and EU leaderships can no longer afford to
ignore the two regions â if the increasing potential for conflict
is to be averted. The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean are
returning to a major position in the contemporary geostrategic
nexus since NATO began a new expansion into the Balkans by bringing
Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020 into
membership, after its previous expansion to Slovenia in NATOâs
âBig Bangâ in 2004 and to both Albania and Croatia in 2009.
This book critically examines elements of America-First
nationalism, neo-conservatism, neo-realism, neo-liberalism,
environmental theories, and social constructionism by way of
developing an "alternative realist" approach to the study of the
origins of major power war. The author critiques concepts of
"polarity" and "sovereign" decision making and diplomacy before
developing the concept of "highly uneven polycentrism." The book
then develops a unique comparative historical approach that seeks
to compare and contrast the pre-World War I, pre-World War II, and
Cold War eras with the contemporary post-Cold War period. It is
argued that the US, as it remains the leading global hegemon, must
fully engage in multilateral diplomacy with major friends and
rivals alike in the establishment of differing forms of power
sharing and joint sovereignty accords-in order to prevent the
global system from polarizing into two contending alliances more
reminiscent of both the pre-World War I and pre-World War II
periods than the "new Cold War."
