Illustrating this proposition, twelve authorities draw a general portrait of American military intervention since the end of the cold war by examining specific interventions: Bosnia, Lebanon, Somalia, Afghanistan, Panama, Haiti, the Gulf War, and South Korea. In the process, this book focuses on the great complexity involved when deciding to enter a conflict; the almost universal circumvention of congressional authority; the ineffectualness of \"pinprick\" air strikes; and the essentially ad hoc nature of military deployment since the cold war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe New American Interventionism\u003c\/em\u003e marks the paradox of America's being the sole remaining \"superpower\" but unable to influence minor powers without the use of force. Exploring these and other questions, the book also speculates on the future characteristics of American intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Demetrios James Caraley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 023111849X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231118491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.04h x 6.78w x 0.50d","brand":"Demetrios James Caraley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45478324371711,"sku":"9780231118491","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e5e1aa6b-fc70-4e79-99ec-b5aab69bb296.jpg?v=1715934929","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-american-interventionism-demetrios-james-caraley-9780231118491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
