{"product_id":"a-stability-seeking-power-jonathan-paquin-9780773537378","title":"A Stability-Seeking Power: U.S. Foreign Policy and Secessionist Conflicts","description":"By examining several cases of U.S. management of secessionist crises in the Balkans and Africa, Jonathan Paquin shows that American foreign policy occasionally recognizes break-away states if it believes that supporting them will help re-establish regional stability. Analyzing examples of such situations reveals that even though US policy apparently favours stable international borders, Washington's primary concern is not to maintain the status quo but rather to seek stability. An illuminating study of foreign policy, A Stability-Seeking Power will have broad implications for understanding U.S. involvement in international affairs, and assessing the security concerns that secessionist conflicts raise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Paquin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773537376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773537378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011","brand":"Jonathan Paquin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48438001434879,"sku":"9780773537378","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eeedce6e-ea86-47cd-8c4d-d6085c645449.jpg?v=1777168126","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-stability-seeking-power-jonathan-paquin-9780773537378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
