 | America's Entangling Alliances : 1778 to the Present America's Entangling Alliances challenges the belief that the US resists international alliances. By documenting thirty-four alliances--categorized as defense pacts, military coalitions, or security partnerships--Davidson finds that the US demand for allies is best explained by looking at variance in its relative power and the threats it has faced. Jason W. Davidson is a professor of political science and international affairs at the University of Mary Washington. He is the author of America's Allies and War: Kosovo, Afghanistan, and Iraq , The Origins of Revisionist and Status-Quo States, and, with Fabrizio Coticchia, Italian Foreign Policy during Matteo Renzi's Government: A Domestically-Focused Outsider and the World . |
