In \u003cem\u003eAmerican Allies in Times of War\u003c\/em\u003e, Stéfanie von Hlatky tackles this question by examining military cooperation between the United States and its allies. First, this book demonstrates that alliance demands in times of war cannot always be met by democratic\u003cbr\u003eallies due to domestic political constraints. Second, concerns over the delivery of military assets can further curtail the ability of governments to commit resources to war. The author convincingly argues that it is essential to account for these factors to understand the varying levels of military\u003cbr\u003ecooperation observed between the US and its closest partners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers an original comparative analysis of the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia's response to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The case studies highlight that decisions involving the use of force must address both domestic-level constraints and the importance of the bilateral\u003cbr\u003erelationship with the United States. This book explains how American allies can manage requests for political and military support by resorting to effective negotiation strategies to influence the terms of cooperation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmerican Allies in Times of War\u003c\/em\u003e offers a comprehensive analysis of why and how allies go to war together and dispels some myths and misconceptions about the politics behind military cooperation. It is intended for policymakers, academics, and students who want to gain insight into how foreign and\u003cbr\u003edefence policy is made and how domestic pressures and operational constraints impact contemporary military engagements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stefanie Von Hlatky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199673683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199673681\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Stefanie Von Hlatky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419025948927,"sku":"9780199673681","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30f7de16-8211-487e-840e-9d79bfdea417.jpg?v=1761508991","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-allies-in-times-of-stefanie-von-hlatky-9780199673681","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
