Résumé ou extrait
  • La p. de garde indique : "Gartner and Segura consider the costs of war -- both human and political -- by examining the consequences of foreign combat on domestic politics. The personal costs of war -- the military war dead and injured -- are the most salient measure of war costs generally and the primary instrument through which war affects domestic politics. The authors posit a general framework for understanding war initiation, war policy, and war termination in democratic polities, and the role that citizens and their deaths through conflict play in those policy choices. Employing a variety of empirical methods, they examine multiple wars from the last 100 years, conducting analyses of tens of thousands of individuals across a wide variety of historical and hypothetical conditions, while also addressing policy implications. This study will be of interest to students and scholars in American foreign policy, international politics, public opinion, national security, American politics, communication studies, and military history."
