Vietnam and the American way of small war ; 7. Contemporary Israel ; 8. Conclusion: strategy wears a dollar sign "Why are democracies pursuing more military conflicts, but achieving worse results? Democratic Militarism shows that a combination of economic inequality and military technical change enables an average voter to pay very little of the costs of large militaries and armed conflict, in terms of both death and taxes. Jonathan Caverley provides an original statistical analysis of public opinion and international aggression, combined with historical evidence from the late Victorian British Empire, the US Vietnam War effort, and Israel's Second Lebanon War. This book undermines conventional wisdom regarding democracy's exceptional foreign policy characteristics, and challenges elite-centered explanations for poor foreign policy. This accessible and wide ranging book offers a new account of democratic warfare, and will help readers to understand the implications of the revolution in military affairs"-- Provided by publisher Demokratie (DE-588)4011413-2 gnd Militarismus (DE-588)4039356-2 gnd Sicherheitspolitik (DE-588)4116489-1 gnd POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General bisacsh Politics and war Democracy War Technological innovations War Economic aspects Vietnam War, 1961-1975 United States Lebanon War, 2006 Great Britain History, Military 19th century Cambridge studies in international relations 131 (RERO)001116853 BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 Metadata rights reserved rero zbzmon201405f tobt zbzswk201405b brue idszbz Z2 ng SzZuIDS BS/BE ZB327 Z01 RERO RE61087 RE61087 RE610870002 327(050) HEIA 7674/131 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 HC 57071 IDSBB B400 B400 400J5 BeM RFA 38845 NELB4001406 IDSBB 100 1- Caverley Jonathan D.
