This book evaluates American foreign policy actions from the
perspective of great power responsibility, with three case studies:
Operation Iraqi Freedom, American drone strikes in Pakistan and the
post- 9/11 practice of extraordinary rendition. This book argues
that the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, American drone attacks in
Pakistan and the practice of extraordinary rendition are the
examples of irresponsible actions undertaken by the U.S. acting as
a great power in international society. Focusing on a major
theoretical approach of International Relations, the English
School, this book considers the responsibilities of great powers in
international society. It points to three obligations of great
powers: to act according to the norm of legality, to act according
to the norm of legitimacy, and to adhere to the principles of
prudence. The author applies the criteria of legality, legitimacy
and prudence, to analyse the three foreign policy endeavours of the
U.S., and, developing a normative framework, clarifies the
implications for future U.S. foreign policy. This book will be of
strong interest to students and scholars of international
relations, international relations theory, American politics,
foreign policy studies, international law, South Asian studies and
Middle Eastern studies.
Provides a comprehensive survey of US foreign policy throughout the
Indo-Pacific. Contains 33 newly commissioned chapters from leading
experts in the field. Designed to be of interest to students and
scholars of the US in the Indo-/Asia Pacific; the international
relations of the Indo-/Asia Pacific; and US foreign policy.
This book explores whether the new capabilities made possible by
precision-strike technologies are reshaping approaches to
international intervention. Since the end of the Cold War, US
technological superiority has led to a more proactive and, some
would argue, high risk approach to international military
intervention. New technologies including the capacity to mount
precision military strikes from high-level bombing campaigns and,
more recently, the selective targeting of individuals from unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) have facilitated air campaigns, supported by
Special Forces, without the commitment of large numbers of troops
on the ground. Such campaigns include, for example, NATO's
high-level aerial bombardment of Milosevic's forces in Kosovo in
1999 and of Gaddafi's in Libya in 2011, and the US operation
involving Special Forces against Osama Bin Laden. The development
of UAVs and electronic data intercept technologies has further
expanded the potential scope of interventions, for example against
Islamic militants in the tribal areas of Pakistan. This volume
examines three key and interrelated dimensions of these new
precision-strike capabilities: (1) the strategic and foreign policy
drivers and consequences; (2) the legal and moral implications of
the new capabilities; and (3), the implications for decision-making
at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. This book will
be of much interest to students of war and technology, air power,
international intervention, security studies and IR.
