Sapolsky, Eugene Gholz and Caitlin Talmadge aNew York :bRoutledge,c2009 axiv, 191 p. :b: illus. ;c25 cm. aIndeks : p.186-191 aThis book seeks to explain how US defense and national security policy is formulated and conducted. The focus is on the role of the President, Congress, political partisans, defense industries, lobbies, science, the media, and interest groups, including the military itself, in shaping policies. It examines the following key themes: US grand strategy; who joins America's military; how and why weapons are bought; the management of defense; public attitudes toward the military and casualties; the roles of the President and the Congress in controlling the military; the effects of 9/11 on security policy, homeland security, government reorganizations. The book shows how political and organizational interests determine US defense policy, and warns against the introduction of centralising reforms. 4aNational security - United States 4aCivil-military relations - United States a13281/MKRI-P/XI-2009 a13282/MKRI-P/XI-2009 a13282/MKRI-P/XI-2009 a13281/MKRI-P/XI-2009 a13281/MKRI-P/XI-2009 a13282/MKRI-P/XI-2009
