After Bush - Timothy J. Lynch - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

After Bush - Timothy J. Lynch - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration has won few admirers, and many anticipate that his successor will repudiate the actions of the past eight years. In their provocative account Lynch and Singh argue that Bush''s policy should be placed within the mainstream of the American foreign policy tradition. Further, they suggest that there will, and should, be continuity in US foreign policy from his presidency to those of his successors. Providing a positive audit of the war on terror (which they contend should be understood as a Second Cold War) they maintain that the Bush doctrine has been consistent with past policy at times of war and that the key elements of Bush''s grand strategy will continue to shape America''s approach in the future. Above all, they predict that his successors will pursue the war against Islamist terror with similar dedication.

Understanding the Bush Doctrine - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Understanding the Bush Doctrine - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this volume, leading scholars of U.S. foreign policy, international relations, and political psychology examine one of the most consequential and controversial statements of national security policy in contemporary American history. Unlike other books which focus only on unilateralism or preventive war, Stanley A. Renshon and Peter Suedfeld provide a comprehensive framework with which to analyze the Bush Doctrine by identifying five central and interrelated elements of the doctrine: - - American pre-eminence - assertive realism - equivocal alliances - selective multilateralism - democratic transformation. - Given its centrality to American national security, and the fact that the effects of it are likely to be felt well into the twenty-first century, Understanding the Bush Doctrine provides a critically balanced and pointed assessment of the Bush Doctrine and its premises, as well as a fair appraisal of its implications and prospects.

Confronting the Bush Doctrine - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

There is no doubt that President George W. Bush and his administration have transformed US foreign policy and reshaped global international relations in a very profound way. Many American commentators continue to talk about 9/11 as the day the world changed, but increasingly analysts around the world are concluding that more important than 9/11 have been the ideas that the Bush leadership brought into office in January 2001. Confronting the Bush Doctrine is the first book to take on the vitally important task of analyzing how the Asia Pacific region sees and evaluates what the United States is doing. With contributions from an outstanding group of scholars, many of whom are based in the region, this book will prove to be an invaluable resource to all students and scholars of American and Asian politics.

Jeb Bush - Robert E. Crew - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Jeb Bush: Aggressive Conservatism in Florida describes the rise of John Ellis (Jeb) Bush, the second son of former President George H.W. Bush, to political power in Florida. It examines the conservative theory that guided his behavior when he was elected and the aggressive manner in which he used the Office of Governor to pursue his goals. The book offers insight into his motivations and competencies, provides an analysis of the extent to which his self proclaimed ''revolution'' achieved its goals, and asks what the revolution meant for Florida. The author''s own views naturally structure the analysis provided, but readers are invited to examine his argument and to propose alternative explanations for the Governor''s actions and the policy outcomes of his administration.

The Bush Doctrine and the War on Terrorism - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Bush Doctrine and the War on Terrorism - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The presidency of George W. Bush has been widely regarded as having occasioned one of the most dramatic shifts in the history of American foreign policy. The US interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq, the declaration of a ‘war on terrorism’ and the enunciation of a ‘Bush Doctrine’ of unrivalled military power, ‘regime change’ for ‘rogue states’, and preventive and pre-emptive war together generated unprecedented divisions in the international community. In this edited volume, leading international experts analyze the nature and scale of the global transformation wrought by the Bush foreign policy in three clear parts: - part one examines the extent of the Bush administration’s break with prior American foreign policy. - in Part two, region and country-specific experts assess the responses to the Bush Doctrine and the interaction of domestic and international politics that shaped these. They explore how governments, political parties, the media and public opinion react to US foreign policy and assess the implications for domestic, regional and international politics. - part three examines the likely long-term implications of the Bush Doctrine in relation to a set of major thematic issues including: war and peace; the global economy; human rights and the UN. Providing a balanced and dispassionate assessment of continuity and change in American foreign policy, national/regional responses to it, and the impact of US foreign policy on a set of ‘big picture’ discrete issues, this book is essential reading for scholars and researchers of international relations and contemporary history.

George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream - Dan P. Mcadams - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

George W. Bush and the Redemptive Dream - Dan P. Mcadams - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

George W. Bush remains a highly controversial figure, a man for whom millions of Americans have very strong feelings. Dan McAdams'' book offers an astute psychological portrait of Bush, one of the first biographies to appear since he left office as well as the first to draw systematically from personality science to analyze his life. McAdams, an international leader in personality psychology and the narrative study of lives, focuses on several key events in Bush''s life, such as the death of his sister at age 7, his commitment to sobriety on his 40th birthday, and his reaction to the terrorist attacks of September 11, and his decision to invade Iraq. He sheds light on Bush''s life goals, the story he constructed to make sense of his life, and the psychological dynamics that account for his behavior. Although there are many popular biographies of George W. Bush, McAdams'' is the first true psychological analysis based on established theories and the latest research. Short and focused, written in an engaging style, this book offers a truly penetrating look at our forty-third president.

Alan Bush, Modern Music, and the Cold War - Joanna (university Of Oxford) Bullivant - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Alan Bush, Modern Music, and the Cold War - Joanna (university Of Oxford) Bullivant - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The first major study of Alan Bush, this book provides new perspectives on twentieth-century music and communism. British communist, composer of politicised works, and friend of Soviet musicians, Bush proved to be ''a lightning rod'' in the national musical culture. His radical vision for British music prompted serious reflections on aesthetics and the rights of artists to private political opinions, as well as influencing the development of state-sponsored music making in East Germany. Rejecting previous characterisations of Bush as political and musical Other, Joanna Bullivant traces his aesthetic project from its origins in the 1920s to its collapse in the 1970s, incorporating discussion of modernism, political song, music theory, opera, and Bush''s response to the Soviet music crisis of 1948. Drawing on a wealth of archival sources, including recently released documents from MI5, this book constructs new perspectives on the ''cultural Cold War'' through the lens of the individual artist.

George H W Bush - Wesley B. Borucki - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

George H W Bush - Wesley B. Borucki - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The forty-first president of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush, arguably had more preparation for the office than any other man who has held the office. Having been a success in the oil business after his heroic service in World War II and graduation from Yale University, Bush served as a Congressman from Texas, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican National Committee during the Watergate scandal, the U.S. Chief Liaison to the People''s Republic of China, and director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the 1960s and 1970s. Although he served only one term, President Bush saw the nation through the end of the Cold War, the 1989 invasion of Panama, and the first Persian Gulf War in Iraq all in defence of the principles of liberty and political self-determination for all peoples. In so doing, he demonstrated a sense of loyalty to long-time friends that largely defines his life and career in public service.

Alan Bush - Stewart R. Craggs - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Born in 1900, Alan Bush, the English composer, conductor and pianist, studied with Corder and Matthay, and privately with John Ireland.

In 1929-31, he continued to study at Berlin University and had piano lessons with Moiseiwitsch and Schnabel.

The A to Z of the Reagan-Bush Era - Richard S. Conley - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of the Reagan-Bush Era - Richard S. Conley - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The 1980s and early 1990s were remarkable for the triumph of conservatism in the United States and its closest allies. The victories of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the United States were complemented by the electoral successes of Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Brian Mulroney in Canada. The relationship between Reagan and Bush and their conservative counterparts was particularly important in providing a united front on foreign policy, whether the target was the Soviet Union, Communist insurgencies in Africa or Latin America, or Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The Reagan-Bush era witnessed some of the most dramatic events of the latter half of the 20th century: the collapse of the Soviet Union, a presidential assassination attempt, political scandal, a stock market crash, military invasions, and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger. The A to Z of the Reagan-Bush Era relates these events and provides extensive political, economic, and social background on this era through a detailed chronology, an introduction, appendixes, a bibliography, and several hundred cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, events, institutions, policies, and issues.

The Change toward Cooperation in the George W. Bush Administration’s Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy toward North Korea - Jonas Schneider - Bog -

The Change toward Cooperation in the George W. Bush Administration’s Nuclear Nonproliferation Policy toward North Korea - Jonas Schneider - Bog -

This book offers a case study in foreign policy change: It examines why the Bush administration suddenly redirected its nuclear nonproliferation policy toward North Korea in the aftermath of North Korea’s first nuclear test in October 2006, abandoning its former confrontational approach in favor of a more accommodating line. Existing explanations of this course reversal draw on the security implications of a growing crisis on the Korean Peninsula, U.S. domestic politics, and changing decision-making dynamics within the Bush administration. Employing before-after comparison, the study refutes these accounts – and it offers an alternative explanation: The Bush administration altered its nonproliferation policy toward North Korea toward a cooperative course because after the nuclear test, it perceived fundamentally improved prospects for fruitful cooperation on North Korea’s denuclearization.
