Is United States unilateralism successful foreign
policy? Has the 2003 Iraq War contributed to the war on terror?
What will arms control look in the emerging strategic environment?
Can states be democratized if their regimes are deposed from the
outside? Does the war mark a new stage in the development of “Revolution
in Military Affairs” (RMA) based warfare? Have Israel’s
security threats changed in the aftermath of the war? Does the new
regional balance created by the war mandate a change in Israel’s
home front defense policy? How did the Pentagon’s media policy
reflect the strong significance attributed to military–media
relations?
… After the War in Iraq: Defining
the New Strategic Balance addresses these questions and many
others. Focusing on the different dimensions to the war in Iraq
launched in March 2003 by the United States, the essays present
concise and penetrating analyses, and explore the major implications
of the war and their strategic, political, and military contexts.
… Researchers from the Jaffee Center
for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University have brought their
expertise in international relations, political science, strategic
studies, political psychology, and more to create a thoughtful,
comprehensive analysis. Their vast experience in the military, government,
and academic world has added to the insightful picture presented
in this rich collection of timely and provocative essays.
… The book contains a chronology
surveying the International Inspection Regime in Iraq, 1991–2003
and the full text of The National Security Strategy of the United
States of America, which should be regarded as the basis of
the Bush administration’s strategic rationale for the war
in Iraq.

“A timely collection of essays generated by a series of brainstorming sessions at the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies on the implications of the war in Iraq as seen from various disciplinary angles. The collection is divided into two parts, the first deals with the international context, the second, the impact on the region, especially Israel.” The International Spectator
“Included here are essays on regional implications of the war; the extent to which the war has affected the Israeli–Palestinian peace; weapons of mass destruction; how the war has affected the strategic balance in the region; and finally Israel’s home front defense policy and implications for the future. An excellent book… Highly recommended.” Choice |
