Softcover. Condizione: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Defense encompasses more than just military might, and the military's role extends beyond mere combat. In a time marked by global upheaval and political uncertainty, this volume aims to redefine defense engagement, emphasizing the use of military capabilities to exert soft power rather than relying solely on hard power. Drawing on applied military history, the authors present case studies from the twentieth century that highlight various aspects of defense engagement. They seek to transform the perception of a military from a forceful entity to one that employs power strategically, focusing on addressing the root causes of security threats rather than just managing their aftermath. The chapters, contributed by scholars and practitioners with diverse perspectives, primarily examine the British experience as a prominent example of utilizing military power for nonmartial policy objectives. Additionally, they explore events in the U.S., Canada, Japan, the Middle East, and Africa. Topics such as intelligence, diplomacy, deterrence, alliances, and coalitions are covered, emphasizing the need for a broad range of military attributes and capabilities in contemporary conflicts and national security strategies. The insights provided in this volume are crucial for strategic thinkers today, especially as democratic states face challenges posed by hybrid, subthreshold, and Gray Zone warfare.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is more to defense than military might and more to the military than a fighting force. At a moment of global upheaval, domestic turmoil, and political uncertainty, this timely volume seeks to define and reframe the terms of defense engagement - the use of military capabilities to exert soft power (influence) as opposed to hard power (military force). Defense Engagement since 1900 is a work of applied military history that brings lessons of the past to bear on current issues. In a number of case studies spanning the twentieth century and the globe, the authors explore various dimensions of defense engagement. Their work, which attempts to recast the role of a state's military from wielder of force to employer of power, is squarely aimed at tackling the causes of designated security threats and not merely managing their consequences.The chapters, by scholars and practitioners representing diverse points of view, focus primarily on the British experience - perhaps the most extensive example of the use of military power in a nonmartial fashion in pursuit of policy goals. However, the chapters also consider events in the United States, Canada, Japan, the Middle East, and Africa. Intelligence, diplomacy, deterrence, alliances, coalitions, and networks: all are within the authors' scope as they address the need to use a wide range of attributes and capabilities associated with military power in various contemporary conflicts and national security strategies. The understanding their work provides will prove critically important to strategic thinkers of our day, as democratic states increasingly contend with hybrid, subthreshold, and Gray Zone warfare. There is more to defense than military might and more to the military than a fighting force. At a moment of global upheaval and political uncertainty, this timely volume defines and reframes the terms of defense engagement - the use of military capabilities to exert soft power (influence) as opposed to hard power (military force).
