This book examines the use of military force as a coercive tool by the United States, using lessons drawn from the post-Cold War era (1991–2018). The volume reveals that despite its status as sole superpower during the post-Cold War period, US efforts to coerce other states failed as often as they succeeded. In the coming decades, the United States will face states that are more capable and creative, willing to challenge its interests and able to take advantage of missteps and vulnerabilities. By using lessons derived from in-depth case studies and statistical analysis of an original dataset of more than 100 coercive incidents in the post-Cold War era, this book generates insight into how the US military can be used to achieve policy goals. Specifically, it provides guidance about the ways in which, and the conditions under which, the US armed forces can work in concert with economic and diplomatic elements of US power to create effective coercive strategies. This book will be of interest to students of US national security, US foreign policy, strategic studies and International Relations in general.
This independent assessment is a comprehensive study of the strategic benefits, risks, and costs of U.S. military presence overseas. The report provides policymakers a way to evaluate the range of strategic benefits and costs that follow from revising the U.S. overseas military presence by characterizing how this presence contributes to assurance, deterrence, responsiveness, and security cooperation goals.
American military bases encircle the globe; from Italy to the Indian Ocean, from Japan to Honduras. The far-reaching story of the perils of the U. S. military bases and what these bases say about America today.
"Since the turn of the century the US has established military bases overseas as part of a commitment to alliances, for different reason like constabulary forces, stabilizing the region, aid in nation rebuilding, or show of force to contain and deter opponents. This paper will examine a historical thread of circumstances which led to a US presence overseas. It focuses on selected presidents, during a significant era, and their foreign policy, leading to an understanding on how and why overseas bases started, the utility of these bases, and the necessity for the new administration to continue maintaining some type of US military presence overseas. It leads off with a discussion on George Washington and other prominent statesmen's role in the birth of US foreign policy, isolationism. The paper goes on to discuss President Theodore Roosevelt and his policy of expansionism, evolving with the start of US military forces, primarily naval, overseas to protect US interest. The paper continues by discussing FDR and President Truman advancement into interventionism during WWII and the Cold War era. It was during the Cold War era when America would see its largest footprint of US forces overseas. The main body of the paper ends with the Post-Cold war era discussing Bush 41, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama's transformation of US forces in size and posture. The paper ends recommending to the new administration, the United States should maintain an appropriately prominent overseas posture in order to provide the administration flexibility in achieving its national security objectives"--Abstract.
