The Use of Force: Military Power and International Politics

前表紙
Robert J. Art, Kenneth Neal Waltz
Rowman & Littlefield, 2004 - 483 ページ
The sixth edition of this classic text retains the best from earlier editions and adds thirteen new selections that highlight twenty-first century challenges, including terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Strategies for using force, together with case studies that illustrate the general principles, are hallmarks of the text. New case studies include Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, and South Asia. An entirely new section devoted to _coping with terrorism_ looks at the issue from a variety of geographical and philosophical viewpoints.
