{"product_id":"crisis-agency-and-law-in-daniel-maurer-9783319535258","title":"Crisis, Agency, and Law in Us Civil-Military Relations","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book develops a responsible and practical method for evaluating the success, failure, or \"crisis\" of American civil-military relations among its political and uniformed elite. The author's premise is that currently there is no objectively fair way for the public at large or the strategic-level elites to assess whether the critical and often obscured relationships between Generals, Admirals, and Statesmen function as they ought to under the US constitutional system. By treating these relationships--in form and practice--as part of a wider principal (civilian)-agency (military) dynamic, the book tracks the \"duties\"--care, competence, diligence, confidentiality, scope of responsibility--and perceived shortcomings in the interactions between US civilian political authorities and their military advisors in both peacetime and in war.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Maurer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319535250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319535258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Daniel Maurer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089092784383,"sku":"9783319535258","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20d45cff-a782-49ca-9bf5-c5f4a4d8d949.jpg?v=1769108148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crisis-agency-and-law-in-daniel-maurer-9783319535258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
