Democratic Militarism: Voting, Wealth, and War - Cambridge Studies in International Relations
Caverley, Jonathan D. (Northwestern University, Illinois)
Why are democracies pursuing more military conflicts, but achieving worse results? Examining modern militaries and the average voter's incentives, this book explains why Britain's empire swelled as its suffrage expanded, why the US pursued a lengthy but flawed strategy in Vietnam, and why we are entering an age of democratic militarism.
