When President George W. Bush launched an invasion of Iraq in March of 2003, he did so without the explicit approval of the Security Council. His father's administration, by contrast, carefully funneled statecraft through the United Nations and achieved Council authorization for the U.S.-led Gulf War in 1991. The history of American policy toward Iraq displays considerable variation in the extent to which policies were conducted through the UN and other international organizations.In Channels of Power, Alexander Thompson surveys U.S. policy toward Iraq, starting with the Gulf War, continuing through the interwar years of sanctions and coercive disarmament, and concluding with the 2003 invasion and its long aftermath. He offers a framework for understanding why powerful states often work through international organizations when conducting coercive policies-and why they sometimes choose instead to work alone or with ad hoc coalitions. The conventional wisdom holds that because having legitimacy for their actions is important for normative reasons, states seek multilateral approval.Channels of Power offers a rationalist alternative to these standard legitimation arguments, one based on the notion of strategic information transmission: When state actions are endorsed by an independent organization, this sends politically crucial information to the world community, both leaders and their publics, and results in greater international support.
Описание: Drawing on the political theology of Reinhold Niebuhr, described by Barack Obama as "one of my favourite philosophers", this book assesses the challenges facing the President during his first term. It evaluates his success in adhering to Niebuhr`s path of "Christian realism" when faced with the pragmatic demands of domestic and foreign affairs.
Описание: Much has been written on the life of Abdul Aziz bin ?Abdurahman Al-Faisal Al-Sa?ud, one of the most successful, admired and dynamic of Arab leaders to emerge in the first half of the 20th century. Abdul Aziz was in exile with his father from 1892-1901, and had to recapture areas previously held by the Al-Sa?ud dynasty. From 1902-1912 he gathered loyal tribes and incorporated the Akhwan belief-system under his standard, drove back the Turks from al-Hasa in 1913, proceeded with the conquest of the remainder of Najd over 1914–1923, then Hijaz, 1924-25, and Asir, 1926. From 1926 to his death in 1953 he reigned as King, first of Nejd-Hijaz and then the unified state of Saudi Arabia. This set presents original documents from British official sources arranged by issues to depict the methods, policy decisions and diplomatic skills demonstrated by Abdul Aziz in forging a strong, unified State.
Описание: Even before it gained independence in 1960, the process of nation-building in Nigeria was plagued by regional, ethnic, and class conflict. This volume examines how many of the leading figures of what would become Nigeria`s First Republic (1963-1966) formed relations with Israel to help navigate the challenges of statecraft and development.
Описание: Robert Crowcroft has assembled a world-class, international cast of outstanding scholars and international figures to produce a stimulating collection of essays on applied history and policy making. With contributors such as Philip Bobbitt, Margaret MacMillan, and Jeremy Black, this collection of essays addresses some of the most important geopolitical challenges confronting the world today. From reconstructing collapsed political regimes to security competition in the China Seas and the evolution of Salafi-Jihadi ideology, it explores a range of statecraft, policy, and strategy.The essays span a number of policy areas and historical problems, tackling important questions about what historians do (and should do), and considering the nature and limits of historical judgement. With some examining how applied history can be used to rethink contemporary challenges, others explore how it has been used and abused in the past. Making a splash in intellectual debate by making a definitive case for Applied History, this book demonstrates that a knowledge of the past, and the insight it provides, is imperative to effective statecraft.
