Description - Balancing Act by Vaughn P. Shannon
Vaughn P. Shannon argues that US foreign policy toward the Arab-Israeli conflict has been determined at three levels of analysis: that of systemic strategic context, that of domestic politics and that of individual decision-makers. In this text he explores the role of each level of influence, as well as the implications for the posture that the US has chosen. Reflecting changing circumstances, the volume examines the Cold War, the Gulf War and the "War on Terror" and how they have each placed differing pressures on US policymakers as they strive to maintain the ultimate strategic goal of preserving regional oil from becoming dominated by hostile forces.
