Soldiers, Statecraft, and History: Coercive Diplomacy and International Order

Autor James A. Nathan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2002 – vârsta până la 17 ani
The increasing capacity of states to muster violence, the concomitant rise of military power as a meaningful instrument of foreign policy, and the frequent episodic collapse of that power are considered in this examination of force, order, and diplomacy. Nathan points to periods of relative order and stability in international relations-the time immediately prior to the rise of Frederick the Great, for example, or the half century after the Napoleonic Wars-as times when states have been most vulnerable to spoilers and rogues. Only the power of the Cold War blocs fostered durable order. Now, notwithstanding novel elements of globalization, international relations appear as dependent as ever on the prudent management of force.Students, scholars, and soldiers are frequently exposed to Clausewitz, Westphalia, Napoleon, World War I, and the like. But what makes these events and individuals so important? This book is Clausewitz's successor, insisting that soldiers and statesmen know and master the integrative potential of force. Nathan provides a narrative account of the people and events that have shaped international relations since the onset of the state system. He asserts that an understanding of the limits and utility of persuasion, as well as the corresponding limits and utility of force, will help assure national security in a world filled with more uncertainties than ever in the last 50 years.

Recenzii

This small volume is as timely as the evening's news, as profound as the classics in history and politics. In 174 pages plus a bibliographic essay, Nathan provides a well-packed treatise on war, international order, and diplomacy in major segments of Western history. The book is as rich in history as in theories of international relations. Its historical range is awesome, spanning the centuries from the Treaty of Westphalia to the management of conflict in U.S. foreign policy from the 1960s to 1990s..Essential. Lower-division undergraduate collections and above.
