The Domestic Bases of Grand StrategyRichard N. Rosecrance, Arthur A. Stein This book explores the idea of grand strategy and offers a full-blown critique--both theoretical and empirical--of the gaps and inconsistencies that weaken modern realist theory. Grand strategy, the authors maintain, is determined as much by domestic politics as by international pressures. |
